I randomly picked this. Using my baby cousin's grubby fingers and a blindfold.
And I pray you like it because it was a lot of work!
Eli and Clare
Family
"Does anyone know what it's like to be married?" Mrs. French said and I sighed in my head. No. And I never will.
"No? Well... since no one does I think we should learn. But there are more boys than girls. So I got a junior, he's my nephew, Eli?" she asked and Eli begrudgingly inched in.
I was sitting up front next to Alli and her jaw dropped, but she recovered. I dropped my pencil. He sighed and picked it up.
"Hi English partner," he whispered. I rolled my eyes at his amount of saracasm.
"Hi,"I said and he went back to his aunt, smirking.
"I take it you know her?" she said as the class let out a round of suggestive ooo's and I shrunk in my seat.
"She's my Engish partner, Mrs. French." he says, looking at me intensely.
"Well, yes and no. Eli, she's your new wife."
And there went the class. Eli's eyes bugged out and I hit my head on my desk.
"She... doesn't like me... that much anyway." he says, and Alli looks at me and rolls my eyes.
Mrs. French shoved him in the desk next to me anyway.
Well, this'll be... fun.
"Ok, Dave is the best husband ever! Ahh, he got me this candy ring. I ate it though, but it was sweet, the gesture too." Alli was blabbing as I rolled my eyes.
"What's that?" she singsonged. Crap, she saw my hand. Eli gave me his skull ring yesterday.
"What are you talking about?" I mumble.
"What everyone else is talking about. You and Eli Goldsworthy are seven kinds of perfect." she raised her eyebrows at the end.
"I'd say negative seven," I said as I slammed my locker. "He irks me sometimes."
"Admit it," she fanned herself. "He's also seven kinds of hot."
I sighed, busted.
"That is kind of true?" I say meekly. I shake my head. "But I can't think that."
"Yes you can! Everyone else does!"she shook my arms.
"Fine, I think he's... cute. In a weird way... just... Ok? Are you happy?" I said and she smiled.
"Not as much as me," I heard Eli behind me and I froze. Alli!
"Now I am," she singsonged and followed after Dave for more candy bling.
"So, we're married one day and our relationship goes from 'See you in English' to 'Eli is hot,'." he states, smirking that smug smirk. I close my eyes and bite my cheek. This is how he irks me.
"No, I said cute in a weird way. Don't misqoute me." I growled and he looks after me, staring.
"See you later Mrs. Goldsworthy." he says after me.
I stop for a second, letting fury and a feeling I don't recongize in. I turn around and I can see his smirk and frankly... his crooked smiles and cocky smirks... they really are...
Something.
Leave it at that? Or no?
