CHAPTER 4: DAISY MAE.
NOT THE AVERAGE FLOWER.
"I hate you!" Clare wrote on the napkin she was passing notes with in English.
Eli smirked, "Hey! You spelled love wrong! And you're supposed to be in advanced.."
Clare rolled her eyes and focused in on the lecture. After five minutes, and the thought to start writing to Eli again, the door openned.
A girl, with brown hair that was chopped close to her head, but styled almost profecionally. It looked girly, thought it was shorter than Eli's. She was tall. Really tall. Almost six feet tall-tall. She looked like a model that had just stepped out of magazine.
She smiled, displaying perfect teeth. Her eyes didn't light up, and it was almost fake, her smile. She had eyebrows that were slightly larger than most, but it looked so elegant on her. She resemebled a young Hope Solo in her bone structure, and she captivated everyone.
Eli through a piece of paper my way, and I read, "I know that girl? Her names Destiny!"
As soon as I was going to reply, she was introduced as Daisy Mae Galligher. I shot a glance at Eli, who's lips were stuck in a straight line.
"Eli? Is that you?" She squealed, but her face gave away a picture of uncomfortableness.
"In the flesh," he mumbled sarcastically. Clare, lost in everything, tried to keep her thoughts from straying. Was she an ex-girlfriend? She's so pretty! I can't compete...
"Clare?"
"Yes? Sorry..."
"This is Destin-" Eli begun.
"Actually," Daisy/Destiny growled, "it's Daisy."
"Okay... Umm.. Hi..?" Clare responded uneasy. Daisy's eyes had turned from a light gray to almost a black.
"Can I talk to you in the hall?" The new girl asked Eli, who looked around before nodding his head.
They headed into the hallway, and the only thing heard from Clare was muffled voices.
Outside, Daisy wasn't happy with her old friend.
"I've changed! So quick bringing up the past, dammit!" She snarled.
"Woah, I didn't mean to make you mad, I wasn't trying to-" Eli begun, startled.
"I'm better. And so are you. But the only way to completely let go is to move on. So I reinvented myself." She said proudly, looking down at her short shorts that elongated her already long legs, and her tank top that fit nicely over her fit stomach and big breasts.
"You changed your hair." Eli stated, hoping to hide the emotion in his voice.
"Julia would have wanted it like this." She said angry.
"She loved your hair."
"Well she's gone isn't she?" Eli's face sunk.
"I mean, it would be different if you wanted it back..."
Julia Gallagher had always loved Destiny's long, pitch black dyed hair. Destiny, who was a year older than Julia and Eli, had always liked Eli, but would never do anything to hurt her little sister. After her...accident.. Destiny had tried to make the move on Eli, who was definetly not ready for anyone, especially her sister.
"No. I'm kinda with Clare." Eli said, uncomfortable.
"Her?" Daisy said, disgusted.
"You should leave, De-Daisy, whatever your name is..."
"I came here so we could be together! Didn't you love the pretend shocked face I did?" She whined.
"No," he said, pulling his arm out of her grasp, "you should go." His face was serious.
"I don't know what Julia saw in you!" She screamed stomping away. He never saw her again, and Clare was sweet for the next weeks, as he put his past back where it belonged.. in the past.
"I'll be here when you need me," Clare shrugged when Eli asked why she would put up with him. Clare's eyes looked away from Eli's sweet ones, knowing that he would not need her forever...
