"It's official, I quit chemistry."

Clare flopped down onto Eli's bed, letting out a huff and closing her eyes. Exams were over and summer was finally here!

"Oh, come on," Eli replied, sitting down next to her. "It's not that bad."

Clare gave Eli an incredulous look and sat up. "Says you! Besides, you finished it a year ago. You've had time to forget the horrors."

Eli gave a light chuckle and placed his hands on his girlfriend's shoulders, gently rubbing them. She groaned in pleasure at the touch, all the stress from exam week exiting her body.

"You know," he said. "It's officially summertime."

"Yeah, kinda got that…" Clare was a little puzzled at the obviousness of Eli's statement. "Your point being?"

"We can start our bucket list."

Clare's eyes shot open and she turned to face her boyfriend. "We can!"

Eli laughed at her excitement. "Anything special in mind to kick off our 'best summer ever,' Ms. Edwards?"

"Hmm…" Clare flipped her notebook to the page with their list. "I don't know where to start."

Eli leaned his chin on her shoulder, looking over the list and pondering. "How about…" He took one last look before pointing to an item. "This?"

A grin spread across Clare's face. "That sounds perfect." She kissed Eli's nose before getting off the bed. "Will you run me by my house? I have some ideas of what we can use."

Eli grinned and grabbed the keys to Morty. About an hour later, the couple returned and began to set up their summer kick-off.

It took a bit of convincing, but Clare's mother agreed that Clare could stay the night at Eli's. She trusted Clare, and after they had informed her of their plans, and she had talked to Cece, she agreed. The two teenagers then proceeded to grab their necessities and headed back to the Goldsworthy residence.

The sun was just beginning to disappear as they finished setting up, and they stepped back to admire their work. A small tent with sleeping bags and Eli's laptop resided in the backyard, along with a stack of movies.

"Operation movie campout in the backyard is a go." Eli kissed Clare's forehead and they climbed into the tent, snuggling themselves in the sleeping bag. The pair successfully made it through Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice and The Notebook before sleep overcame them.

They dozed peacefully, content in each others arms. The next morning, Eli awoke first, and smiled at his sleeping girlfriend. For a while he just smiled down at her, brushing hair from her eyes and wondering how on earth he'd gotten so lucky to get this girl. Just as the faint glow of morning light illuminated the tent, he kissed Clare's lips softly.

Her eyelids fluttered and she smiled. "Good morning," she mumbled, rubbing sleep from her eyes and stretching.

"Good morning, beautiful," Eli smiled, giving her another kiss. "Want to cross two things off our list?''

Clare looked puzzled for a moment, until Eli pulled her up and opened the tent flap. The sun was peeking over the mountains, and they sat in silence as the ball of light rose higher and higher in the sky. Eli wrapped an arm around Clare and she leaned into his chest.

"I love you."

"I love you too."
