"Faster than a shooting star

baby you stole my heart

And I never want it back..."

Chapter 1

Clare was sitting at her desk in English class listening to Ms. Dawes talking about assigning everyone a partner for the semester. Who ever you got partnered with would be editing your work and vice versa. Letting her mind wander to who she could get partnered with Clare had zoned out until she heard who her partner was.

"Clare Edwards you will partnered with Eli Goldsworthy." Ms. Dawes announced, pulling Clare's thoughts back to the class she was in.

'Why does that name sound familiar?' Clare thought.

She was racking her brain as to who it could be when she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"So I guess we're partners." Eli remarked with that gorgeous half smile of his.

'Now I remember.' Clare thought to herself.

Clare turned around in her seat. "I guess we are." She replied with a small smile.

She would have known that voice anywhere, even though they had only met yesterday. Only now she could finally put a name with his face. Eli had been the guy to run over her glasses yesterday when she and Alli had been leaving school.

Clare and Alli were walking on the sidewalk talking about the rumor Jenna had started about Clare getting a boob job. Which was way off 'cause Clare had gotten lase eye surgery, but all Jenna had apparently heard was the 'surgery' part and come up with her own random conclusion that couldn't have been farther from the truth.

"Maybe I should just go back to wearing my glasses." Clare remarked to Alli.

"And hide those beautiful baby blues, no way." Alli replied jokingly.

She went to grab Clare's glasses from her and accidentally sent them flying to the pavement where they were crushed by a black tire. A black tire that was attached to a hearse. And out of that hearse stepped a boy with dark black hair and green eyes that were almost the color of emeralds.

"I think they're dead." He said dryly as he picked up Clare's glasses and handed them to her.

"I...it-it's okay. I-uh...I don't need them anymore." Clare responded stumbling over her words. She took a deep breath. "I got laser surgery." She finished and looked up at him.

He was staring back at her with a half smirk on his face. A very attractive half smirk.

"You have pretty eyes." Eli stated not looking away from Clare for a second.

Clare blushed slightly, looking down at her feet for a second and then looking back at Eli. "Thanks. I'll uh see you around?" She asked looking up.

"I guess you will." He replied as he turned back to get back in Morty.

Clare had watched him go, with a smirk on her face that did not go unnoticed by Alli.

"Uh-oh I've seen that look before." Alli remarked as she and Clare continued there walk home.

"I have no idea what your talking about." Clare replied, but she couldn't help but smile.

He was definitely cute. And she wanted to get to know him better.

"So our first assignment is to write a letter. You wanna meet up here tomorrow and we can review eachothers work?" Eli questioned leaning back in his desk chair.

"Sounds good." Clare answered grabbing her bag as the bell rang. "See you back here before class."

"See you then." Eli replied turning to walk out the door.

This should definitely be one interesting semester. Clare thought smiling to herself as she walked towards the lunchroom to meet up with Alli.

A/N

Ok so yeah I've now started another new fanfic lol But this one should be longer than my other Eclare story which is only gonna be a three-shot. I'm really liking the way this one is coming so far. I got the idea riding in the car with my dad a few hours ago and I was actually able to get this entire chapter written out in about 2 hours. I'm proud of my self. ;) And the lyrics at the beginning of each chapter are from the song that inspired this story, Found by Phillip LaRue. I'm in love with this song and it made me think of eclare the first time I heard it. It's just PERFECT for them in my opinion. Anyways I'm gonna let you all know now that I probably won't be updating this story that often 'cause I really want to make it good and not rush it. Good news is that means the chapters should be longer than my other stories. Hope you all like it. ;) And please remember to review. It makes me smile. :))
