Well I have a feeling this chapter is going to stink. But just to clarify before I start. The last two chapters were on a Tuesday. So this chapter is on Friday. And thanks for the reviews! And thx to bcuzily! Ur review made my day it was soo long and awesome! Okay this is a long authors note. On with the story!
Miss Dawes class couldn't get any more boring. I swear if she didn't let us start on our new assignment I was going to blow a fuse. She was talking about something to do with Shakespeare. Blah! Uhh. I really need to learn to be more patient. I decided to keep my mind busy by doodling on my paper.
"Clare?" Eli was looking at me with curious eyes. I looked up and saw his body turned around in his desk. Apparently while I was trying to keep busy the teacher said to get with our partners.
"I was just doodling." I smiled. I could feel my face turn a bright red. "Um I wasn't paying attention. What are we supposed to do?"
"Obviously! What is this?" he smirked and pointed to a picture of a cat. I named him Mr. Tickle.
"That is my imaginary cat!" I started laughing hysterically from embarrassment.
"Well it's very cute." Eli started laughing with me. We were being obnoxiously loud.
"Excuse me, but can we keep it down Mr. Goldsworthy and Miss Edwards?" she gave us a stern look. I shut up right away. But Eli had to make a smart comment.
"Of course Miss Dawes. I'll try." He kept laughing. I tried to quiet him down but he wouldn't stop laughing.
"Eli shh! Let's get to work." I still had no idea what we were supposed to be doing.
"Clare I'm sorry. I think I am just hyper right now." He said trying to catch his breath. Once he was breathing normally again he started to explain what our project was. "We have to write our own version of one of Shakespeare's plays. Easy enough."
"Yeah. Which play do you want to rewrite?"
"I was thinking we could rewrite Romeo and Juliet."
"Okay." Interesting. I thought he was going to pick something more humorous.
"Let's get started shall we?" we spent the rest of the class thinking of ideas for our story.
Later that evening
Eli and I were sitting on his couch watching 28 Days Later. I don't know why he picked this movie to watch. He knows it scares me. In the middle of the movie I get a call from my mom. I grab the remote and turn the volume down.
"Hello?"
"Clare? Hi. Do you think you could stay at a friend's house tonight? Things at home are a little crazy and I don't want you in the middle of it."
"Is everything okay?" Eli asked. I put my finger up to my lips, indicating for him to keep quiet.
"Mom, things can't be that bad between you and dad, can they?"
"Clare, we can talk later. Just please stay with a friend tonight, all right?" her mother's voice sounded sad. Before I could respond her mother hung up. I put my phone on the table in front of the couch.
"Clare what happened?" Eli said putting his arm around me.
"My mom told me not to go home tonight. She said things were crazy at home and said it would be better if I weren't there."
"Where are you going to go? You know you could always stay here if you want to." I thought about it for a couple of seconds. It would be nice to spend the night with Eli. And it's not like we are going to do anything.
"Would that be okay with your parents?" I asked. I can't believe I'm doing this.
"Oh please Clare. My parents love you. Of course they will be okay with it." He smiled at me. A really big real smile. I couldn't help but smile but smile back at him. I rarely got to see these smiles from Eli. it made me happy to see his smile.
"Well then I guess I'm spending the night." Eli jumped up from the couch.
"Yay! A sleepover!" he started jumping around like a little girl and clapping his hands. I started laughing super hard. I loved when Eli did crazy stuff like this. "Okay to make this a true sleepover we have to get tons of junk food, get in our pajamas and watch scary movies. Oh and how could I forget? We have to do our nails."
"Wait you forgot about the pillow fight."
"Oh yeah!" he plopped back down on the couch and we kept laughing. A couple minutes later his mom came in the front door and saw us laughing on the couch.
"Hey Clare. Hi Eli. What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing." Eli said calming down a little. "Hey mom, it's all right if Clare spends the night, right?"
"Well of course. You don't even have to ask. Clare, you can stay here whenever you want to." She smiled at me and went into the kitchen.
"Thank you." I yelled after her.
"C'mon Clare. Let's go get changed." He grabbed my hand and lead me upstairs to his bedroom. When I first saw his room it was nothing like I expected. The walls were grey with tons of band posters. There were way too many CDS and a stereo. There was also a guitar but he said he didn't play and it was only for show. But I didn't believe him.
He walked over to his dresser and pulled out a black V-neck T-shirt and a pair of green and black checkered boxers. "Here ya go." He threw them over at me.
"You want me to wear theses?" I held up his boxers thinking it was joke.
"You want a different color?"
"Uh no. I'll be right back." I walked out of his room and into the bathroom. I can't believe I was going to wear his boxers. Couldn't he have just given me a pair of pants? I got his shirt on when someone knocked on the door. I opened it. It was Eli's dad.
"Hey Clare. Sorry didn't know you were in there." He was about to turn away but he turned back and pointed at the bathroom floor, where I happened to put Eli's boxers. "Aren't those Eli's?" he asked.
"Um yeah. Well Eli gave them to me so I could wear them. See I'm spending the night and I don't have anything to wear-"
"Clare, it's okay. I get it. Bottom right drawer of the sink." He winked at me and chuckled as he made his way down the stairs.
I closed the door and opened the bottom right drawer. There were three tooth brushes and about thirty condoms. I slammed the drawer shut. Wow. I can't believe Mr. Goldsworthy thought Eli and I were going to have sex! I tried to forget about the whole thing. I continued to change and when I was done I quickly made my way back to Eli's room.
"Hey." I looked over at Eli. He was wearing neon pink boxers with smiley faces on them and baggy black T-shirt. I giggled. He looked so cute in pink.
"What's so funny?" he smirked at me.
"Um have you what you're wearing?" he came over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer?
"There is nothing wrong with what I'm wearing." He smiled. He kissed me and twirled me around. "Shall we start our sleepover Edwards?"
"We shall."
So I decided it would be best to split the sleepover into two different chapters because their sleepovr is going to have lots a detail and I really wanted to post this tonight. And what do u think of Eli's personality? A little crazy right?
Reviews are lovely
