More Public Embarrassment?: Chapter 2
******CLARES POV*****
I looked at my closet for about 5 minutes, trying to find something nice to wear. Why did I even care? Does Clare Edwards have a crush on Eli Goldsworthy? No, that couldn't be right. He was the exact opposite of me! But, there was something about him, something that was just so mysterious and amazing. Yes, Clare Edwards liked Eli Goldsworthy. I finally took one final look in my closet and pulled out a teal blue shirt, that I've been told compliments my eyes, and my overalls. I looked in the mirror, quickly put on some mascara and tousled my hair, and then I was out the door.
Eli was leaning against his creepy, yet very intriguing, hearse with that silly smirk on his face that made me have millions of butterflies in my stomach.
"Hello Clare" Eli said making me smile stupidly.
"Hi Eli" I replied.
"You look beautiful" Eli murmured while gesturing me to get into the passenger seat of his hearse.
My cheeks flushed a bright red color. He started laughing softly to himself. Crap, he noticed. Why must I be so nervous around him? I mean, its only Eli.
"Thank you, you look, uhm, handsome" I mumbled. URGH, I sounded like a complete goof.
"Oh, I know I do" He says smugly, and smiling.
"No thank you? I need to teach you some manners, mister" I say sarcastically.
"Thank you, blue eyes" Eli says softly looking into my eyes.
I look away and blush.
"So Eli, let's get moving! I don't have al night. I have to be back at 11:30" I say smiling.
"I know, I know" Eli Puts his hands on the wheel, start up the car and zoom! We're off.
The car is filled with loud screamo music. Surprisingly I don't mind it. Eli's head is banging to the music. I giggle and he looks at me.
"What?" he asked confused.
"Oh, nothing. Its just, you're really getting into the music" I giggle.
"Do you have a problem with that, Saint Clare?" Eli asks sarcastically.
"No, I don't. I'm just not used to the whole "head banging music". You look funny doing that" I sound so…innocent.
"Ah, grasshopper, you have much to learn." he says while looking into my eyes.
"Eyes on the road!" I yell sarcastically. Eli rolls his eyes. Oh, how I love messing with him.
We are silent for the rest of the ride, except for the loud music of course. I just stare at Eli the whole time, I don't know why, but he is so interesting.
"Has anyone ever told you its rude to stare?" He laughs darkly. " Anyways,we're here"
I blush. His house isn't how I expected it. It is a cute, blue and white two-story house. There is a small porch with a large, white rocking chair. I imagined more of a "darker" house.
"I like your house, its cute" I say shyly.
"Why thank you, you're cute too." Eli smirks at me again. I cant help but blush, bright, bright red. Eli and I walk up to the steps and Eli opens the door. "After you" He says gesturing me to go inside.
"Thank you, Mr. Chivalry" I giggled, once again.
Eli smiled and put his hand at the small of my back as we walked into his house.
