10 Reviews in one day? AMAZES me. This truely excites me for things to come with this story. Just to let you guys now, I was so amazed when Aradiea said that all the characters were amazingly in character. That's the thing that almost stopped me from writing a Degrassi fanfiction. I didn't know if I could do that. But, thanks for lifting my spirits :)
"Oh oh the places we'll go!" Eli happily cruised around downtown Toronto . It amazed me how content he seemed after almost losing his life yesterday. I tried to store that memory deep inside my head so I wouldn't have to deal with it.
Bleep. Bleep. Bleep. My phone vibrated in my pocket.
I looked at the phone and scoffed at the caller I.D.
"Is that your parents again?" Eli said keeping his eyes on the road.
"Yeah, I can't seem to get them off of my tail. They've been calling constantly for an hour now." I could picture them all in my mind pacing back in forth in my living room waiting for my call. It made me extremely guilty.
"But that's basically what you did right Clare?" Adam said.
"Thanks for sugarcoating Adam." I said.
Eli did his signature smirk "I'll handle it. Let me see the phone."
"Am I going to regret this?" I asked.
"You'll see." He grabbed the phone from my grasp and held it up to his ear. "Ummm..Plan B." He hung up on my parents and threw my phone out into the distance. The last I saw of the phone was the remains of it rolling away on the asphalt.
"ELI! WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT? THAT'S MY ONLY PHONE!" I glanced behind me at my now destroyed phone.
"You said you wanted them off of your tail. Don't blame me for actually thinking you wanted them off your tail." Eli spotted a McDonalds in the corner and moved into a turn lane. "We don't want anyone interrupting you at your gourmet breakfast wouldn't we? Besides, Plan A just consisted of me trying to reconcile with them. Plan B just seemed more fulfilling."
And Adam's chuckling his ass off in the backseat like everything is just hilarious.
"It's not so damn funny Adam!" I said. That only makes Adam laugh harder. And now Eli's joined him in the fun. Wonderful.
Eli parks the car in the McDonald's parking lot and we all walk in the fast food joint.
Turns out McDonalds is terribly crowded at eight a.m. It takes us about thirty minutes to finally get to a table and start chowing down on our food.
"Why does everyone has to take so damn long to make up their mind?" Adam says getting started on his bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit.
"Well, people are storing food for 2012. Didn't you get the memo? We're just like squirrels." Eli takes a bite of his hash browns.
Suddenly, screamo starts to blare from Eli's pocket. Everyone around us gets whip lash trying to figure out what's going on.
Eli's cheeks turn a pale shade of red "Damn, it's like no one's ever heard screamo before…" He holds the phone up to his ear "Hello?"
"Where the hell is Clare ELI!" I heard from the receiver.
Oh crap, somebody knew where to find me.
"No "Hi, how are you?" I thought after I started dating Clare we'd become telephone buddies ?" He said.
Alli?
"Don't play with me Eli. Her parents have been blowing up my phone. She must be with you." People all around us became more and more nosy. I could feel their eyes burning holes into my head.
"Smart girl. She's right here." He passed the phone to me "It's your bestie."
Of course Alli would be the one to figure out where I am. She's one of the only people who know about Eli and me. "How'd you know where I was?"
"Please, I couldn't reach you on your phone so I knew you'd be with your boy toy."
I glanced over at Eli as he sipped some of his drink. Boy toy? I wouldn't call him that. "Well, I'm here. With him. You aren't going to tell my parents where I am are you?"
"….No. They don't even know I called Eli. Besides, I think you need this vacation. Just don't do anything I wouldn't do okay?"
So that basically rules out...nothing? "Alright. Anything you say."
"I'll be in touch. Have fun!"
"Yeah, I'll try." I hung the phone up and set it on the table.
"I hope Alli isn't too terrified about this little vacation. It's not like we're alone or anything.?" Eli said. Eli took his utencils out of a plastic bag and started on his pancakes. They all were different, but the one that caught my eye was the knife.
The side view of the situation seemed to mask what was actually happening. I wanted so much to jump right in front of Eli and take the knife for him, but I was too paralyzed in shock. My eyes fixated on the knife in Fitz's hand. The way the light reflects off of it making it shine. Then to Eli, who was taking Fitz seriously for the first time. Just in time for Fitz to get a knife. But for those few seconds I thought the knife had penetrated his heart, a piece of me died inside.
"Day dreaming Clare?" Eli snapped his fingers in front of my vision. I could respond to him, I just stared. He was here with me. No reason to worry. I grabbed his hand in mine eager to feel his pulse. And when I did, I sighed out of relief.
"No, I'm not dreaming." I said.
"Good. But like I said, Alli's a smart girl to know where you are. But, we should get going. We have to look for a hotel so we won't have to live the next two weeks in my hearse."
"And I was so looking forward to that!" I said.
"I see my sarcasm is contagious." He smirked. "But we should get going." Eli scooted out of the booth "Adam, come on!"
"But I'm not done with my hash browns!" Adam said.
"You can eat them in the car, just don't spill anything in there."
"So you'd rather smell dead bodies than potatos?."
"I'd rather stick with what I'm used to. Don't bite the hand that drives you." Eli said.
After a couple of minutes we stumbled upon a little hotel in the middle of a shopping center. It seemed like the perfect place to crash.
We parked the car and headed into the hotel.
Eli walked up to the reception table "Reservations for Elijah Goldsworthy?"
The receptionist searched her computer "Oh! Here it is. Here's your key. Have a great stay!"
"Much thanks." He grabbed the key and heads into an elevator.
Like his little minions, we follow right behind him.
"So, how nice is this room?" Adam asked.
"It's okay. Better than I thought I could get actually." Eli said.
The elevator door opens and we start to search for a hotel room. We end up at room 405. Eli swipes the key and lets Adam and I in.
Eli must have understated everything. The room was completely nicer than I thought. The bathroom looked extravagant and the mirror seemed to travel forever. We had a patio in the back with a glorious view of downtown Toronto. The television was a decent size and the two beds…
Wait, back track. Two beds?
"Eli, where's the missing bed?"
First Degrassi Fanfiction. :) This is starting off slow, but I promise that it'll get juicy. I'd love reviews of any kind. Especially on grammar mistakes, I'm terrible on catching those. Thanks for so much for reading.
