hey i just wanted to say sorry i realized after i posted the first chapter that i made a lot of mistakes, like repeating the same paragraph twice! so sorry about that! anyway i decided to change the format of the story to make it easier to read. btw eli has the same name as his father so when i am talking about his father i will refer to him as elijah because that is more formal. when i talk about eli(junior) i will always call him eli. remember that so you won't get confused.
Chapter 2
Finally we arrived at my school. Degrassi High School. Drama
school. I said bye to Bob and walked towards the huge school. 'So
many cute boys! I think I might like this school!' lost in my
thoughts I ran into some guy who looked like a senior. Oh great
out comes the jerk...or so I thought. He was actually pretty nice
to me.
"I'm so sorry let me help!" I fell on my knees and grabbed his
books first. He knelt down to help me with my books. "It's ok.
First day here? It was my fault anyway so I should be
the one panicking." I wasn't really paying attention to what he was
saying but I looked up at the exact same time he did and our eyes
met. He had the most beautiful emerald green eyes that were way
too hard to stop staring at. I wasn't staring at him because I liked
him but I felt something. It was really weird because the feeling
came to me as soon as our arms touched. I'm pretty sure the feeling
was mutual because he looked at me the same way. Oh my
goodness! Our eyes are the exact same shade of emerald! What!
That was a weird coincidence. Some jerk kicked the back of my
head by mistake and I hit my head against his. "Owwww! Why did
that hurt so much?" he moaned. We stood up at the same time
books in hand and smoothed our clothes out. Both of us had our
left hand on our heads. Wow great first impression Cait! "Hi my
name is Caitlin Morty. Sorry about that. But it was nice to meet
you anyway-why are you laughing?" he made a weird but nice
smirk and continued to laugh quietly to himself. I was getting
annoyed so I began to walk away, then he grabbed my shoulder
and began to talk. " Sorry for being rude, I didn't mean to laugh
like that but your last name-Morty- is the name of my car. Sorry I
just found that really funny." yeah what a knee slapper. He saw my
blank face and then I started laughing a little too. It was kinda
funny. He turned to walk away but I tapped his shoulder and he
turned facing me again. "I never caught your name."
"Oh sorry. Hi I'm Eli. Eli Goldsworthy. Very nice to meet you."
Oh crap. What do I do! What do I do!
"Eli as in Elijah? Elijah Goldsworthy Junior?" I asked.
"Yeah, you know a lot about me don't you?"
"Umm, sure gotta go nice to meet you. see ya!"
"Wait!" I ran through the hall and tried to find my locker but I
looked back and Eli was still standing there reading his schedule.
he turned around and entered a class. I guess we never realized the
whole school was in class while we were getting acquainted.
Homeroom
Homeroom was boring. My teacher gave a really boring
speech about her expectations and she gave out textbooks.
I just couldn't get my mind off of Eli. Is he my brother? Well we
do look a like. We also have the same eyes. Maybe I will find my
father here in Toronto. It would be best to befriend Eli just to see if
we are in any other way related. Blah, blah, blah. The rest of the
morning was the same as homeroom.
Finally I can eat! I entered the cafe and scanned the room to
see if Eli and I shared this period together. Nope didn't see him. A
frown entered my face. I really wanted to get to know my own
brother. I saw an empty table and made my way towards it. On my
way I saw a dark tanned girl who had the prettiest mini dress on.
It looked just like mine but it differed in color.
"You know how to look good! Haha! Nice dress." she said to me
without stopping as she walked towards her table. "Thanks " I
yelled after her but I don't think she heard me. I hated sitting alone
but I'm used to it. I didn't pack anything and I would never eat
school lunch so I just sat there and took out my notebook and
started writing. It wasn't a diary, it was a novel. A very long one
that I worked very hard on for the last 2 years. It was based on my
life but it wasn't mine. Today I had a lot of writing to do because
my novel just took a turn to the-I really don't know. I guess I'll
just have to live through it to see if its for the worst or for the
better. I hope things are for the better. I can only hope now. My
hands started to cramp so I took a break. I looked up and saw
through the window Eli. He was eating outside with a girl and
another boy. Hmmmm the boy looked cute. 'Should I walk past his
table to see if he will notice me? Or should I just sit outside just
cause I can? Of course in the hopes of him noticing me.' I decided
to walk past him to sit at the table next to him and pretend not
to notice him. I stood up and did exactly that and gracefully sat
down and continued to write even though my hand was still sore.
From the corner of my eye, I could see and hear them talk about
me. 'Yes my plan worked!'
"Cait! Cait! Over here! Can you come over here for a sec?"
I stood up and walked over to his table as calm as can be. "Yes,
Eli?"
"I just wanted you to meet some people cause I saw you there by
yourself. This is Clare Edwards and this is Adam Torres. Adam,
Clare this is Caitlin Morty. She is in tenth grade."
"Nice to meet you Caitlin!" Clare said. She was very pretty. The
way Eli and Clare looked at each other I could tell there was
something between them. 'Eli's got a girlfriend!' I was actually
grinning ear to ear and they were just staring at me. Crap. There
I go always getting lost in my thoughts! "Oh sorry! Daydreaming!
I do that a lot. Nice to meet you guys too! Clare I love your shirt!
Especially the color." I really did though! It was a mix between a
turquoise and green and it just made her eyes POP! I turned as if to
return to my table..."Wait! Sit with us! We don't want you to be
alone on your first day. See how generous we are? Sit, sit, sit!"
yelled Eli. I turned again and sat next to Adam. He was so much
hotter the closer you looked at him. Oh my gosh I'm blushing!
Stop it, stop it!
"You ran off earlier... why?" Eli asked. Again I wasn't paying
attention but I still heard what he said. "Uhh black. Yeah that's my
favorite color." Clare giggled. I wonder why.
" I except all answers...I'm not judgmental. Anyway...seriously
why?" he asked again.
'Crap I have to tell him. But not without seeing my dad...or Bob
first.'
"Um I had to find my class. Its a really big school and I knew I
would get lost." he smirked in approval and started talking to
Clare.
For some reason I blushed at that. What? I don't understand
things anymore. I heard Adam talk to me but I blocked him out. I
didn't really want to cause I like him but I just needed to think
straight. I jumped up and ran towards the door. I didn't look back
but I heard them questioning what I had just did behind me. I think
I dropped something but if it was that important I would have
remembered and went back to get it. So I just kept walking.
After school
I called Bob and told him to stay home because I'm walking
home. I still needed more time to myself and to think. Is Adam mad
or confused about my reaction to his question? What was his
question? I kept hearing my name but kept walking. I made it to
my house and my dad was in the living room watching a taped
game.
He greeted me properly and I went to my room. I took another
shower then realized what I was missing. The necklace my mom
gave to me when I was born. It was a sterling silver diamond
encrusted heart. I loved it, and I still love my mom. After thinking
hard about it I realized that she created me with love before she
wanted to get pregnant to get a man. It made a difference to me.
I love my mom. Always have, Always will.
I started to panic! 'Where did you have it last?'
Shizz...school. I wasn't exactly sure if that was where I last had
it but I decided to ask my dad if he saw it today. I threw on
underclothes and a black slip. I also put a dark blue cardigan on
over it and put on gray heels. If my dad hadn't seen it I would be
ready to return to school so I could find it. As I made my way
down the stairs I heard voices. It was Bob's and...Eli's? It was
Eli. Both of them turned to me when I arrived and said hello.
"Dear ELI came to see you. Don't keep him waiting now. I'm
going to step out for a bit ok?" with that he left and walked down
the block.
"Eli! I'm sorry about lunch I didn't-"
"Its ok its none of my business. Sorry if you felt weird about sitting
with me. I came here to return this to you...".
He dangled my necklace and my face filled with joy! I wanted to
hug my possible brother ever since he told me his name and now I
have a reason to! Not gonna pass that up! I literally jumped on
him and he started laughing. "Okay! I have a feeling this is exactly
what you were looking for!" I only hugged tighter but this time I
was on my feet. I became filled with glee after I noticed he hugged
me back. Cause when I almost let go he was still hugging me! We
finally let go and he said "What was that for? All I did was find a
really valuable necklace and I returned it to its owner."
"Well thank you Eli. Seriously I owe you a lot. I love this necklace
more then anything!" we stopped smiling and just stared once
again at each other in a weird way. He made his way off my porch
and I said "Eli, do you want to ummm, I don't know go to the dot
or come in? Or something."
"Sure lets head to the dot. I'll drive you there c'mon." I grabbed my
phone and purse and followed him to his car.
'Oh my gosh'
"You drive a hearse? " I asked.
"No, no, no I'm on my way to a funeral actually. Check the back
there is a dead body in a coffin in there!" he smirked his regular
brother smirk and opened my door for me. I sat and waited for him
to come in. The dot was a walking distance away so the silent
ride there didn't really mean anything bad. When we got there we
ordered right away. I just asked for grilled cheese and a water.
I forgot what he ordered. I really didn't care about that.
"I wasn't supposed to say something but...(in a hushed voice)
Adam likes you. Do you think its weird that you are in 10th grade
though?"
"No not really. Age is just a number to me. I don't really care. Plus
he is only older then me by a year." I replied. It was true to me
though.
"Actually I really like Adam. He seems nice, and cute." I
stated. Eli raised an eyebrow and smirked once more. "Really? I
should set you two up. Would you like a boyfriend?"
Hmmm do I?
"Yeah I guess."
"Anyway subject change! Do you have any problems with gay, or
lesbian people? How do feel about them?"
"Uhh no not really. I am actually a gay rights supporter. I don't
believe in bullying of any kind and if someone bullies then they
should get what they deserve. At my old school I kind of had a
rep as a... as a uhhh. Never mind."
"tell me!" he pleaded.
"A threat. I always won and ended revenge wars. Its not something
I think I should be proud of but I am. I don't care what people
think of me at all. You hit me...I'll hit back harder."
Eli's jaw dropped "I think you are my long lost sister! You are like
my other half! Hahahaha!"
"Uhh yeah. Hahaha. Are we really alike?" I asked.
"Very alike!"
Our food arrived. We ate, laughed, and had a great time together.
We ended up at the park. He showed me all the great things about
it and I had just the best time. He was the best brother ever! How
could I tell him that? I really wish I could. Maybe I should tell
him before the end of the week. What would I say though? I think
this should be kept to myself for now.
"Oh shizz its almost 12. Maybe we should get home. I cant believe
we spent the whole day together!" I said.
"Why can't you believe it?" he challenged.
"Actually I can believe it. We were meant to be best buds I guess.
one in the same!"
"Definitely! Ok let's get you home." He said.
ok no drama in this chapter but i just wanted to get a closer look on how much eli and caitlin are alike so please review! the third chapter will be up soon i just need to finish editing it! thnx!
