Eli's P.O.V
When I went to my locker I put all of my school supplies in it. I got out my schedule to see what class I have first. I have Media Immersions; great, I have the most boring class first.
I ended up being late to class since I had no idea where it was.
"Nice for you to join us 10 minutes late Mr..." The teacher said, waiting for me to introduce myself.
"Elijah Goldsworthy. But, call me Eli, please." I said. There were only 2 people who could call me Elijah: my mom and dad. I looked at all of the other students in the class. I really wanted to see Clare. Thankfully, I saw her in the back of the room all by herself.
"Ok, well Eli, you may sit wherever you would like." She said, putting emphasis on my name.
I made my way to Clare. She looked confused but then smiled once she recognized me. "Mind if I sit here?"
"No not at all."
The class members whispered to each other to get to know one another on a better level. "I will be assigning partners for a project that we will be starting tomorrow." Oh great, I will probably be paired up with some stuck up snob. I really want to be paired up with Clare. "Marisol and Dave, Lisa and Wesley, Clare and Eli,..." I heard nothing after she said Clare and Eli. Oh my god, I am going to be paired up with the prettiest girl in school!
"Looks like we're partners, Eli!" She said casually but with a hint of excitement.
Clare's P.O.V
Did I hear wrong, or did Ms. Oh say that I'm partners with Eli, the hottest guy in school? I have to tell Alli about him. She will be so happy to know that I've moved on from K.C. Speaking of K.C., I heard he knocked up Jenna. What can I say, karma's a bitch. But I do feel a little sorry for Jenna; I heard K.C bailed on her. I am so thankful that Jenna stole him from me. Of course it wouldn't be me, since I wouldn't have let him have sex with me, but I wouldn't want to be treated that way...
The bell rang, signifying the end of the period.
Aw no, class is already over. I wonder if Eli has any more classes with me. "Eli can I see your schedule so I can, um, show you where your next class is?
Eli's P.O.V
I already knew where all of my classes were, except this one. I had come here last week before to school started to find out where they were. I ddn't know where Media Immersions was because I thought that this room just served as a computer lab for student use before and after school, and during lunch. I had no idea it was in use for an actual class.
"Um, yeah. Sure, here." I said, while handing her my schedule. She looked at it and smiled a bit. I hope that's a good sign.
"Wow we have all of the same classes, even advanced English." She looked surprised when she mentioned that I was in advanced English. Wow, everyone thinks that the "goth" kid is stupid. But I had a good feeling about her, like she wouldn't judge me.
"Looks like we will be spending a lot of time together, then." I said with a smirk.
The rest of the day was a blur. The classes passed unusually fast, and each one seemed as if it were only about ten minutes long. But, the first day's classes always went by quickly, because the only thing happening was the teachers introducing themselves and explaining all the rules and procedures of their class. After I put all of my stuff into my locker, I headed to Clare's locker.
"Clare!" I yelled. "I wanted to know if I can walk home with you." At lunch Clare and I learned that we lived in the same neighbourhood, so I took this as an opportunity to spend more time with her. I know, I know, I keep saying that but, it's true. I really do want to spend as much time as I can with her. Clare is different from other girls; she has a natural kind of beauty, she doesn't cake on makeup, and she doesn't starve herself. And her hair, it's short and curly and simple, but the thing I like the most about her is her ocean blue eyes. You can see her every emotion through them.
"Eli, Eli, Eli!" Her screaming my name brought me out of my trans-like state.
"Sorry, I keep spacing out... So, can I walk home with you?"
"Ya, that'd be nice," She said with a smile. Oh, and her smile is amazing, too.
Once she finished putting her stuff in her bag, we headed outside.
"So why did you come to Toronto?" Uh oh, I knew she was going to ask this sooner or later. Well, it was bound to happen someday.
"I will tell you, but you cannot, I repeat cannot, tell anyone." She nods and I continue. "Last year my mom and dad told me that my mom was pregnant. We were so excited until one night I heard screaming and crying from my parents room. I went into the room and saw blood on the sheets. My dad told me to leave and that he would talk to me about it later. My dad brought my mom to the hospital and called me to come see her. When I got there my dad told me that my baby sister or brother had died. My mom was only 4 months along, Clare. I didn't even get to meet my sibling. I lived in a very small town and things go around. In a matter of days, everyone knew that my mom lost the baby, so we decided to move to get away from all of the memories." I didn't realize I was crying until I finished.
"Oh, Eli. I'm sorry I brought it up, and I promise I will not tell anyone. I won't bring it up ever again." I looked at her, and she looked so sad. I saw a tear roll down her cheek. I cupped her face with my hands and brushed my thumb on her cheek to wipe away the tear. She smiled and I let go so we could continue walking.
As we walked, I took her hand in mine and laced my fingers through hers. She looked up at me and smiled, a blush creeping onto her cheeks almost immediately.
When we got to her house, I hugged her and said goodbye. I kept the hug casual, and if anyone was watching us, they would think that we were friends. But inside, I was excited. I was screaming because she was touching me.
I can now say that I had the best day ever today.
Sooooo...?
