Author's Note: I'm glad that you guys like stalker Imogen! Hahahah. I want to make her creepy without being like…WOAH RAPIST creepy. From the promos it seems like she'll be pretty stalkerish, but I don't know how much. So I'm just gonna do whatever I feel like hahaha. Reviews!
Imogen's POV
Eli said that he would spend my entire first day with me and I was ecstatic. From FaceRange, I knew he looked great. He was ten times cuter in person.
At lunch, I sat with him and some guy, Adam. Actually not some guy, I knew about him too. One of Eli's best friends – a FTM Transgender named Adam Torres who was also friends with that bitch Clare. It was awkward but I knew everything about Eli. Or at least as much as I could find out.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Imogen. And you are…?" I acted as if I didn't know.
"Adam. Glad to have you join our little group. Looks like we're back up to three, Eli, eh?" Eli gave him a death glare. Already I was starting to take Clare's place. How perfect is this?
Lunch consisted mostly of small talk; where I was from, what my old school was like, if I missed my friends.
I simply stated that moving here was the best thing that could have happened to me. Back home, I barely had friends. Everyone labeled me the "freak". I don't understand teenagers.
Degrassi would be different. Adam would be one of my best friends. Eli would be my boyfriend. Those two were all I would need.
I admit that my 'stalking' was a teeny bit creepy but hey, a girl had to make friends somehow. And this was the only way that I knew.
As long as I kept my cool and didn't let Eli find out that I was…dedicated…to him, all would be well.
"Imogen? Are you listening?" asked Adam.
"Sorry! I was just thinking. What did you say?"
"The Dot, after school with Eli and me?"
Hm. Although Adam would be going, it was almost a date. I could do that. Eli could get to know me better and maybe I could invite him over after.
Don't get too intense, Imogen. We don't want to scare him away.
"That would be so much fun! Thanks so much for inviting me, I really appreciate it. Could you tell me where it is, though? I hopefully won't get lost."
"Imogen, I could show you. Adam will meet us there because he has to tell his mom first, but I'd be glad to take you. Sadly, we'll have to walk, but it's better than going alone."
Walk, right. He just crashed his hearse and probably didn't have a way of getting around anymore. I listened intently as Eli talking and nodded my head, smiling. From the way he looked, it seemed as if his voice should be monotone but it wasn't. He still had no feeling in his eyes.
How can I get him off those pills?
First I should probably get him to tell me he's on them…Slow down, Imogen. These things take time.
I didn't want to wait to get things with Eli and me going but I had to. Going to fast would be dangerous, especially with his current mental stability.
"I'm sooo excited, guys."
"I am too, Imogen", Adam replied. I thought for a second. Adam had an easy name to say and Eli was a shortened version of Elijah. I needed an easier name to say.
"You can call me Mo, by the way. If you want, that is. Some people just find it easier, you know?"
Eli looked into my eyes. "I like that – it's cute."
Was this real life? Did Elijah Goldsworthy just call me cute? I felt my heart speed up.
"T-thanks." I tried to hide my blush to no avail. Adam noticed and chuckled while Eli said nothing.
Author's Note: I thought this would be a good place to end this chapter. The next will be the Dot! What will happen there? Maybe our dear Clare will make an appearance? Hmmm. Review and find out! More reviews = faster chapters.
