Mystery Girl-Eli

[malena]

Her first day and she could already feel the eyes burning like holes in the back of her head and her back at all the onlookers, but Malena was used to it, most people were drawn to the outlook she gave. They were probably also staring due to the fact she wasn't wearing the uniform that they all adorned, no the girl wore a black skirt that fell just above her knees and along with it a red silk tank top that clung to her body just right. She wore a pair of black strappy heels as well that clicked against the tiled floor and she walked over to the locker said to be hers. She tried what seemed like countless times to open it and then found herself being aided by a young boy. She watched him, not speaking once as he opened her locker for her and she nodded gently to him as he seemed to blush and recoil back to his friends. She put her things in her locker and after glancing around she shut it. She had told the principal about her requests to be in activities and he had accepted her into the volleyball team and photographer of yearbook with no problem, but he pointed out a picture of the drama club to her and the boy in the front of it and told her she needed to take that up with him. She was very confused but as she headed to her first class she bumped into someone and her books feel from her hand. She scrambled to collect them from the floor and when a hand reached over her own she looked up to the boy she had run into...it was him.

[Eli Goldsworthy]

Eli had spent his morning packing his lunch for school, he make himself up a salad, with steak tips on it. Eli wasn't much of an eater. His mania always pushed him away from eating as did his depression. Well.. nothing really tasted right when he was depressed. Eli put his lunch into a container listening to his uncle hurry him in the background. He wasn't even dressed yet. Eli ran upstairs hopping into the shower. He avoided his medication this morning, just in a forgetful state. he might have been affected by this later in the day, but he'd indoor it, he had been quite behaved recently, with the acceptation of flipping out on Clare and Becky. Eli shrugged and washed himself quickly hopping out and rushing to his room. Eli searched for his uniform putting on his kacki pants, and his school logo polo. Eli painted his eyes with a bit of eyeliner and then flipping his hair looking over himself before he head his uncle yelling up to him. "I'm coming!" Eli said a bit overwhelmed from being rushed.

He walked down the stairs and was tossed his uncles keys. He grabbed his black messenger bag and walked out to the car. Eli got into the drivers seat and looked over at his uncle. "No back seat driving this time?" He questioned with his famous smirk, before backup up and driving to Degrassi. He was lectured like always about his moods and when he was free he walked up the stairs proudly walking the halls of high school drama. Eli walked to his locker hearing the warning bell, he grabbed his books for his first two classes and then slammed his locker running to class and BAM. Eli looked down at the girl bending down helping her gather her papers and when her eyes met his he smirked a bit. She was new he could tell, but all that beauty.. Eli cleared his throat handing her the papers he had sorted together. He stood up slowly offering her a hand. "I'm so sorry." Eli explained and when she was on her feet he looked down then brought his eyes back to hers with a flip of his hair. "The guy that nearly ran you over, yeah his name is Eli Goldsworthy, and the pleasure is mine. What'd you say your name was?" Eli said with a smile, trying to avoid the fact he wasn't paying attention in the first place and this could have been avoided.

She watched him help her gather her things and apologize and she stood upright adjusting her skirt and gently taking her things from him as he seemed to say stuff about himself. She let out a soft giggle at his little third person refferencing of himself and when he said he hadn't caught her name she giggled again and looked into his eyes,"I didn't mention my name," she said her voice soft and lingering with her accent. She smiled at him though as she skimmed her bottom lip with her front teeth,"I am Malena Jensen, transfer student from Florida... the girl whom you ran over" she said as she giggled abit at her reference of herself before she looked around, all other students had disappeared into classrooms. She looked back to him and he seemed to have quite the focus on her, as most young boys did. She tilted her head,"You are the Drama club director correct?" she asked as she ignored the fact she should be heading to class. She looked him over and she smiled again abit wider than the last allowing a pink color to touch her cheeks,"I was told I could be in volleyball, and the yearbook photographer but had to talk to you about drama, correct?"she shifted her books to be cradled in one arm as she stood in a stance that showed confidence and she couldn't help but notice he seemed slightly distant, she snapped her fingers softly a few inches from his face,"Are you mesmerized Mister Goldsowrthy?" she asked with a giggle and scrunch of her nose.

[Eli Goldsworthy]

This girl was so beautiful, he just looked into her soft eyes and her introduction caught his attention, Malena it was pretty and unique he liked it. Another transfer student from Florida, like Becky. Eli could feel his eye twitch but she didn't present herself as a bitch, with religious morals that just thought she could intrude on everything he worked so hard to master. Eli snapped himself from his thoughts and nodded. "Yes, I am the man in which you can talk to about Drama, and I guarantee you won't regret it, Theater shall we?" Eli suggested with his signature half smirk, he turned himself around and proceeded to walk to the theater, he wanted so much to make this professional like every other audition, he gave Lilli hell, Adam even Cat but something about Malena's attitude prove to him she wouldn't need much of a resume. When he entered the theater he opened the door for the beautiful girl walking in after her, he always found himself to be quite a gentleman. "I'm Mesmerized by a lot of things, the mind can do that to a person." Eli corrected walking to his stool he sat down reaching into his messenger bag pulling out his clip board. "So, I do this to all of my members, but I want to know what make you think your good enough to be part of my drama club, I mean sure your beautiful but can you act? Can you sing? Are you prepared to do anything I ask of you?" Eli said standing up raising his eyebrow letting his eyes meet hers. He was so serious about what he did, he couldn't just have someone walk in and not be worthy of calling them self a crew member. Eli crossed his arms over his chest holding his clip board loosely in one hand. His serious face became a smile, maybe he was being a bit harsh but she wanted to be a wise ass and snap in his face he could be serious but for now he'd let he answer.

She follwed him toward the theater and when he opened the door for her she smiled slightly and courtseyed to him before she allowed him to walk by her now and toward his position he wanted to be in. She watched as he took seat on the stool and he spoke of what she could bring to his drama department and asked if she was prepared and if she could act and be willing to do anything he asked of her. At his last bit of words a smirk played across her lips and she walked up to him now, her heels softened by the carpetting but she now stood infront of him and she tilted her head to one side, her curls toppling as she did so and she reached up placing a hand on his chest and she leaned up bringing her lips to his ear,"I am willing to do anything you want of me Mister Goldsworthy"

[/color] she whispered, her voice so soft and held a tone of exotic uniqueness and she pulled her face back now and she looked him in the eyes for a moment, her gaze that of love and adoration and she spoke now a small monologue of her own to him,"I can see it you know? That glint in your eyes when you look at me, it is the same sparkle you once held for her and clung to so demanding of needing to be saved... and yet now, you give me this look instead of her, and I can only wonder what you need from me? Did she not do it well enough? Love you that is...? Of course, I had imagined she couldn't handle it, i had known that no one would be able to love you as I do, but now you run back to me and expect me to just accept you back with open arms.. I love you, but I need to know this time if it is real, I cannot be your rebound girl any more my love, I need to be your one and only," the entire time she had been looking in his eyes as if she were a heartbroken ex girlfriend who desired nothing more than to mend an old love and make it right and lasting again. She smiled to herself now and watched his expression,"I apologize, was that too sudden?" she asked wondering by the look he gave if she had caught him off guard.[/center]

[Eli Goldsworthy]

The goosebumps started to raise on his arms and he listened to her tone, her voice so close to his ear and he couldn't help to raise his eyebrow. When she back up he looked her over and took in a deep breath, the words started to spill from her mouth, with such emotion and honestly, and somewhere he could feel the broken in her tone, the broken in her heart. Eli listened on, her he felt himself a little emotional as he nodded slowly, in awe at what she had presented him with. This was of no musical, this was of no dialog verse. This was one from the heart, and he knew from experience what an original piece of work was. Eli brought his hands up and clapped, looking into her eyes. "Brava Miss Jensen. Sudden you say? I don't think so at all, I actually enjoyed every moment of it...surprisingly." Eli admitted giving her his own warm welcome to the drama club, he was still in shock trying to remember the words she has recited him, certain parts stuck in his mind and he felt more connected to Malena, like they had a past connection on relationship grounds. Eli thought for a moment, and shook away his random thought of Clare Edward, and got back in his zone. "Your really amazing, you have what it takes to be here in my club, that original style is special not something you find everyday." Eli admitted, this was shorter then most of his auditions but it was unique, and differently styled then what he was used to. Eli have her his signature half smirk and looked to his watch. School wasn't quite over yet, but he didn't feel like attending class. Eli walked over to the stage and pulled out his clip board, returning to Malena's side handing her a permission slip. "You have to have that signed, Drama practice can run pretty late and it's required." Eli said, he then turned his clip board to his approval sheet, the names on it made him smile, thinking back to when he worked with Lilli. Where was she these days? He just hoped she was alright he caught ear of rumors, and wasn't pleased if need be he'd have no problem cleaning them up. Eli handed her his pen, then the clip board. "Sign there please, It'll be an honor to work with you Mel." Eli said pointing to the line on which would sign her over to the drama club. When she was finished he smiled and nodded taking a seat looking up at his stage, he looked over his shoulder to still see her there. "First day, wouldn't want to skip all your classes now. I'll walk you if you'd like.." Eli offered.

[malena]

She watched as he brought his hands up and clapped and she smiled at him, genuine and soft, so subtle were her features and she listened as he complimented her work,"Well I am glad you liked it Elijah, that is what Eli is short for is it not?" she asked softly as she raised an eyebrow with her question. She followed him as he walked to the stage and grabbed a clipboard and handed her a form, she folded it up and stuffed it into her purse before she took the pen from him graciously and signed her john hancock for him. "I hope these practices run late, you seem like quite the guy to spend time around, I wouldn't mind staying late night with you as my director" she decided to stroke his ego just a tad bit as she watched him now sit down and she debated on whether she should go or not, maybe that was her cue to leave? But when he turned around and looked to her she looked at him and gave him a small smile as he spoke of her classes. She walked over and she sat in the seat behind him and she leaned forward so that she wasn't far from his face and she shrugged ever so slightly,"First days are always quite boring and all ooohs and awws about who the new girl is...I'd much rather not deal with that today, I'm already having an overload of it just walking down these halls," she said with a soft giggle and she tilted her head and twirled a curl around her index finger as she met his gaze with her own,"Besides I would much rather get to know my director, I like to know about the people I will be closely working with" she said pursing her lips slightly in thought.

[Eli Goldsworthy]

Eli felt his eye twitch when she called him by his real name, and he cleared his throat and nodded a bit. "Yea, but can we just go with Eli, Elijah is so...biblical." He corrected with a smile, no one except his real parents had called him Elijah. Elijah was just so, biblical and that wasn't one of his strong points, nor was it him. Eli thought for a moment and allowed her to stroke his ego, and he gave her a smirk and nodded walking right up to her while she was seated looking into her blue eyes. "Yeah, they run pretty late, and if you'd like to stay just to help me with props or painting stage scenes I'd love your company as well." Eli offered, he didn't know what she had planned after school, but he could use all the help he could get. If he brought this play together, with the least amount of Becky's help he'd feel accomplished. Eli looked at Malena. "Hey can I ask you something, over lunch. You seem to know what your doing, and I have no clue how to produce a musical maybe give me some pointers?" Eli asked, she didn't seem like she wanted to go back to class anyways and nor did he. Eli had a lot of pride but something about this girl, made him feel comfortable with asking for a little help. Becky, that was a different story, even if it was her musical and her idea. This would be an Eli Goldsworthy production, with some help from Adam ,Imogen and Malena, he wouldn't need Becky in the slightest amount. Eli put her arm out. "Shall we Darling?" He asked waiting her her to cling his arm.

[malena]

She rolled her eyes ever so slightly at his saying he didn't want to be called Elijah and she looked at him,"Fine, for now, but I cannot promise it won't slip here and there" she warned. She grinned when he asked for her help and she nodded as she walked over to him and she clung to his arm but walked with him, her head held high as always. She wasn't sure where they were going yet but she simply followed, trusting him. She looked at him as they walked,"So what are your concerns and questions that you need help with?" she asked raising an eyebrow as she kept close to him leaning against him slightly as they walked. She looked around for a moment before bringing her gaze back to him,"Has anyone ever told you that you are quite charming?" she asked as she giggled softly and a slight pink color touched her cheeks. She looked down at her heels now and she got quiet, she shouldn't be flirting like that, not so soon, they had just met. She shook her head slightly and kept her eyes on the ground trusting him to lead her properly not into danger. "So where are we going?" she asked trying to change the subject slightly from her attempt at flirting.
