I know, cheesy song, right? But I'm obsessed with Glee. I'm actually wearing a Glee sweatshirt right now.

Halo/Walking on Sunshine

Glee Cast

I never felt comfortable telling anyone about my parents arguing. Not even Alli. Actually, come to think of it, I hadn't even mentioned it to her.

And now I was talking about it with my English Partner? We had known each other for barely two days.

Eli-gold49: More public embarrassment tonight?

Clare-e23: anything to get out of here...

Eli-gold49: ...?

Clare-e23: my parents are fighting

Eli-gold49: sorry. :(

Clare-e23: don't fret over me, just come pick me up!

Eli-gold49: ...fret? really Clare?

Clare-e23 has signed off.

It was so weird...how open I had become with him. Maybe it was the way he broke my glasses. Maybe it was the way he smirked...maybe...it was the way he was himself.

In a few minutes I heard the doorbell ring. He must have lived pretty close.

I went overt to the door. I opened it. "Oh. It's you." I pretended to close the door on Eli's confused face but didn't.

I laughed. "Gotcha!"
You never really striked me as the pranking type, Clare," he said as we walked to his hearse.

"Gosh, I was kidding. I wouldn't really shut you out."

He smirked and opened the car door for me. "Thank you," I said.

We got in the car. "So, where are we going?"

"Who knows?" He said.

"Uh...aren't you supposed to know? You're the one driving."

"I'm not very big on planning. I like doing whatever comes to me at the time."

"You mean like the quote, 'when life gives you lemons, you make-' "

"Lemonade," He finished. "But I don't like that quote, because life doesn't give you lemons, you buy them at the supermarket. And when my mom buys lemons, she doesn't make them into lemonade, she makes them into a sauce."

My stomach rumbled. "That made me hungry."

"Do you want to eat?" He asked.

"Sure."

We pulled into the Dot and got a booth.

"Turkey sandwich and an unsweetened iced tea."

Eli looked at me. You ordering that almost wants to make me order something healthy." He turned to Peter. "Cheeseburger and a coke."

I rolled my eyes while Peter went into the back. "Yeah, that's so healthy."

"I said almost."

Eli cleared his throat. "So, um, to you want to talk about your parents?"

I sighed. "The just argue and I don't know why."

"Did you try, I don't know, asking them?"

I glared at him and his smirk.

"No, I didn't. It's not like they're going to tell me."

"Will it hurt to try?"

"Yes! Everything anyone says in my house results in an argument." I put my head in my hands. "You're not doing a very good job of making me feel better, Eli."

"What about now?" I looked up and realized that Eli was inches from my face.

"Uhh-" I squeaked.

Eli was getting closer and closer until our noses were touching.

"Did I ever tell you that you have pretty eyes?" When he spoke I could feel his hot breath on my mouth.

"Yes," I said so quietly that I barely heard it.

Before he leaned in, I could sense his smirk. From then we were just kissing, and it was pure madness.

Yes, I could feel people staring at us. If this was public embarrassment, it was so worth it. I suddenly felt that Eli was sort if like an angel, in a way. Instead of wearing white, he wears black and drives a hearse. It's pretty ironic, because a hearse symbolizes death, but he was just so...I don't know.

I felt elated, like I was walking on sunshine, when we broke apart. Everyone in the Dot was staring at us, including Peter, who was at our table with our food.

"You know how I said screaming wasn't my thing?" Eli said."

"Yeah."

"Well. in the forms of not caring what people think, that was my thing."

I blushed at Eli's smirk. How did he make me feel so good?

I really hated this chapter. Ugh! It was bad. And I'm not just saying that to make you say "it was good." I actually thought it was bad.
