A/N: Hola! (No, I'm not spanish..) Just wanted to say that I looove all of your reviews! Makes me so happy to know you guys like the story :)
Emily-Danielle: Congrats on your A! :D
Elisbiotchhh: Haha, thank you! Loved your review :)
As I closed my locker I heard whistles. I rolled my eyes, but smiled slightly to myself. They had been doing this since I came to school 10 minutes ago. Seriously, I'm used to it, but have they never seen a girl before? I turned around as I heard Alli speak my name.
"See I told you they were going to love the outfit" She smiled at me.
"I know Alli, I look great thank you" I smiled at her.
"You're sooo welcome" She grinned at me. "But I have to go, loverboy's coming"
"What?" Alli was gone, and I was left with no answer. I turned around and understood what she meant. Loverboy my ass. I rolled my eyes at her, even though she was long gone.
"Hey" Eli said as he looked me up and down.
"Hi" I said smiling at him. Not the normal smile, but the 'sexy-smile' as Alli likes to call it. If I was going to trick him, I might as well have as much fun as I can doing it.
"Ehh.." He looked at me and swallowed hard "Nice outfit"
"Well, thank you" I said leaning to the locker.
"So... what inspired this new look" He had stopped staring, and gave me his famous smirk.
"Oh, nothing special. Just felt like it" I looked him directly in his eyes, and he shifted his weight from one foot to the other.
"Well, I love it" He smiled. He actually smiled. Not a smirk, a smile!
"You should smile more often, it looks good on you" I blurted out. My eyes turned wide as I realized what I said.
"Well, thank you" He said looking down while.. blushing? That was something new. I smiled at him.
"Mind walking me to class?" He looked up at me.
"Yeah, sure"
"Then let's go. Don't wanna be late"
This class was so boring. I had this class plus another one left. This one was almost over, but the last one was math. I hated math. There isn't really any point for me showing up in that class. I never understand anything so Alli always has to help me after class. I took up my phone and sent a quick text.
Clare: Hey! Wanna ditch last class?
I put my phone in my la as I pretended to pay attention. After a minute or so, I got a reply.
Eli: Sure thing! Meet outside?
I smiled.
Clare: See you there in a few ;)
The bell rang and I hurried out. I was actually kinda exited. Maybe it had to do with me not being tortured in math class? Or maybe it had something to do with the beautiful weather? Or maybe, just maybe, it had something to do with the gorgeous boy waiting for me outside... I walked out of the front doors and there he sat, on one of the steps. He didn't move, so I moved closer. When I was Able to see his face I saw he had his eyes closed. He was leaning back enjoying the sun. No wonder, it had been a rainy week. He looked kinda cute. So peaceful. I smiled, before speaking up.
"Wakey, wakey" He opened one of his eyes looking at me.
"Five more minutes" He said as hi closed his eye again. I laughed at him.
"I'm not your mom waking you up to school"
"The what are you?" He asked smirking, his eyes still closed.
"I'm a high school girl waking you up to get you out of school. So get that ass of yours moving, or I'll find someone else" He opened his eyes and looked at me.
"You're right! You look nothing like my mom. Let's go" He winked at me as he got up and started walking. "Well, you coming?" I laughed at him as I walked after him.
"Where exactly are we going?" I asked.
"Don't know, where do you want to go?"
"If you haven't noticed I'm new here. I've just learned to find my locker, don't expect me to know what's in this town" He smirked at me. God, stop it.
"When you put it that way..." He seemed to be thinking. "Wanna go to a valley?"
"A valley?"
"Yeah, it's nearby and it's really cool. It has view over the city, and with this sunny day it's gonna look amazing"
"That sounds awesome. Let's go" Wow, I didn't expect that from Eli. He doesn't really seem like a guy to take you to a valley to look at the city. I thought he was more of a party guy. Maybe he's that too. I have no clue. Something just hit me. I don't really know much about him. Maybe I can change that.
Wow. That was the only word that came to my mind. It was beautiful. The valley was covered in fresh green with some yellow flowers. If you looked closer you could even spot some red ones. I wonder if it's roses... The sun gave all a last touch. It was simply amazing. I turned around and looked at the city. It seemed so quiet and peaceful from here. No stressed students. No drama. No problems. Just a dreamy city lying quietly in the sun. I stared in awe for a moment before I remembered I wasn't alone. I looked at Eli. He was watching the city. He looked so different. The sun touched his face in ways I can't describe, and he looked so peaceful. He looked happy. Not like the Eli you would know from school. Seeing him like this made me wonder if 'school-Eli' was an act. Probably not. It's like watching a troubled kid sleep. It looks like a different person. Suddenly Eli turned towards me.
"Like it?" he asked with a smile. Again, a smile. I couldn't help but smile.
"I love it Eli, it's beautiful" He smirked.
"Well, yeah. It is. It's amazing only a few people know about it"
"Really?"
"Yeah. Most people here don't have time to go out and look for new places. You know? They're busy all the time. And the kids our age aren't really the outdoor-types" I chuckled.
"This is gonna sound weird, but that makes sense"
"I don't mind though. If everybody knew, it would never be the same. It would definitely be turned into a party place. I mean it's perfect" he smirked "It's far away, so the cops won't notice. Our parents would never expect us to be here—"
"You've though of this before, haven't you?" I asked amused.
"A few times" he admitted. "But I've never done it" He sat down. I followed his gesture.
"So how did you find this place? I never thought you would be an outdoor-person"
"Don't judge a book by it's cover Clare" He winked at me. I rolled my eyes.
"So?"
"I knew this girl. She showed it to me. She was a real nature-girl. She loved getting away from the city. And as I never did anything than party, she decided I needed some 'air'" He chuckled.
"So I was right. You're not an outside-type. You're a party guy" I grinned at him.
"Maybe... doesn't matter. You shouldn't judge people"
"Even if I'm right?" It was his time to roll his eyes.
"Even then"
"So this girl. She sound sweet. You still know her?"
"Not really.. she's not here anymore"
"Oh, she moved? That's too bad" Eli smirked. Not his normal smirk though. This one was more of a 'sure-smirk'. Oh great, now I'm giving names to his smirks. Haha, I'm weird...
"So tell me more about you" Eli said looking at me.
"Well.."
A/N: So, 70 reviews = next chapter? sounds good? :)
