Hi. Oh my God its been so so so sooo long and I am SO sorry for it taking this long. I have had no inspiration or anything and I'm sorry if I made this chapter a little depressing. I've been.. Stressed and depressed lately and mainly now knowing that I may never get to see.. Most of my friends again.
Sorry again! By the way - Helen and Randal are divorced in this story.. And Darcy lives with Randal.
Disclaimer - I do not own Degrassi. I own a bunny named Bunny Hop Hop. Yeah youmad?
She may not remember her best friend from preschool perfectly. But neither did he. Clare Edwards meets and old friend, at a new school. Will their old relationship turn into something more then they ever imagined?
October 31st, 2000.
Knock Knock.
"Clare can you get that? I'm finishing my hair!" Helen called down the stairs at her adorable daughter.
Clare nodded to herself and scurried to the door, unlocking it and swinging it open. She smiled wide at the people in front of her. Eli and Cece Goldsworthy here to go trick or treating with her and her mom, then go to a small Halloween costume party at the fanciest restaurant in town. The one that Clare's mom's friend owns.
"Hi Mrs. Cece!" Clare chirped. Her gaze fell on Eli and she smiled wide, opening her arms to give him a big hug.
He gladly accepted and hugged her.
"Cece you look great!" Helen said, walking down the stairs while putting her other earring in.
Cece looked down at her pirate outfit and smiled. "Thanks! You look amazing yourself!" she grinned at Helen's belly dancer outfit.
"Thank you." Helen smiled and looked down at Eli. "Eli and Clare! You look so cute in your matching outfits! Picture time!" Helen exclaimed and ran around frantically looking for a camera.
She found it fast and came back. Eli put his arm around Clare's shoulders and Clare put her arm around his waist, both smiling wide and Helen took the picture.
"Awh!" she smiled and showed the picture to Cece.
"My baby boy..." Cece cooed and Eli rolled his eyes.
"Well we had better get going!" Helen sighed and slipped on her shoes.
It was surprisingly warm for October and she was grateful for that.
"Lets go!" Clare smiled and ran out the front door with Eli trailing closely behind her.
Clare and Eli ran up the sidewalk to the front door and Eli rang the doorbell because he was taller.
A middle aged looking woman came to the door and smiled softly holding an orange and black striped bowl filled to the brim with candy.
"Trick or Treat!" Clare and Eli sang in unison. The woman's smile widened and she bent down, putting the bowl of candy in reach of the children.
Both kids grabbed 2 pieces of candy each and smiled, thanking the woman and running back down the sidewalk to their mothers.
The process repeated itself until the night was up and both kids were stuffed with candy, and tired from walking to each house.
Clare and Eli laid snuggled next to each other on the living room floor of the Edward's house.
Helen sneaked in and placed a red plush blanket over the two and went back into the kitchen where CeCe sat sipping coffee.
Eli slowly woke up, and looked around, smiling when he noticed Clare beside him snoring softly. Her nose crinkling slightly when she breathed in.
He carefully and quietly leaned over and kissed her cheek, before laying back in his original position with his head leaning against hers, and his hand resting carelessly on her wrist.
"I love you, best friend." he murmured before falling asleep.
Chapter V
Clare's POV
His eyes.
Those.. Amazing.. Alluring green eyes.
"Clare."
"Claaaaare.."
"CLARE!"
I finally snapped out of my daze and glared at Alli from across the table.
"What!" i snapped and looked down at my plate of spaghetti.
"I've been trying to get your attention..ALL EVENING. What's wrong with you? Green eyes got your tongue?" Alli chuckled and i rolled my eyes.
"No. I was just thinking... i've seen him somewhere before. I know i have but i just.. can't remember when." i replied nonchalantly.
"Well you're gonna be seeing him alot more soon so.." Alli started but stopped herself.
"What? What do you mean?"
"I.. got us a double date... For this Friday." she mumbled.
"NO ALLI WHAT THE HELL!" i quickly stood up but stopped myself and looked at the ceiling, murmuring 'Sorry God' under my breath.
She stood up also and put her hands on her hips. "Your going. I can see the way you look at him like he's the only guy left on the Earth! Its fate!"
"Its not fate, Alli. I don't know anything about him except his name is Eli and he drives a hearse!" i exclaimed, hysterically.
"Yes it is, Clare, And your going weather you like it or not." Alli deadpanned and i knew i had no choice.
