Eli sighed, running a hand through his hair as he let his body drop back so his butt hit the grass, legs bent and leisurely spread. His arms rested on his knees as she spoke, simply glad the girl was alright. The reaction he had was completely unexpected, making him start to think he might have...
The TV in the living room was on, two of his friends, Mark and Jason, already rifling through the video games as the other, Nick, rifled through the fridge. Eli and Nick talked, ignoring the two fighting over which game they wanted to play. His friends could never all agree on the same thing...
Eli only looked up for a moment, watching her place the bag down, smiling faintly when he realized what was in it. He didn't reply, only glancing at the kids across the street before looking back to his work. By the time the street lights were flooding the dark road, he was finally disappearing...
Hey! Sorry about my lack of attention this week. I'm out of town and will be away from any computers until Monday, but I should be back in full swing by Tuesday. Until then, have a great week! Thanks. :)
Eli didn't like excuses, so old age wasn't an acceptable one, a thought which made him crack a smile. He watched her paint along the skyline, listening to the story. When her adoptive parents were mentioned, he looked up at the house, guessing she probably wasn't the only child in there. He...
Although she said she was fine, he could tell she wasn't. "You're lying. I can't tell a cough from smoke." Having experienced and listened to them countless times, he knew the sound the second it was made. He was about to question her again, though her own question surprised her. Rubbing his...
Eli had figured the coast was clear, that no one would be coming after him at that point, so he finally moved from his back yard to the front. He had been cleaning the yard up, making it look decent, which he was about to do with the front. That's when he noticed the easel on the lawn across...
He ignored her comment, not caring what she said, though up hearing her question, his head popped up. "What?" Looking around, students were already starting to move out of there seats. When he caught site of the small flame, frustration began to build within him, causing the flame to shoot to...
Eli rolled his eyes at the angry girl. When she moved his feet, he placed them on the back of her chair's legs, watching the grey cloud appear. His expression was indifferent, not really caring that she was mad at him; there was really no reason to be. "You try to put up such an emotionless...
In the midst of pulling his phone from his pocket, Eli's headphone's pulled loose, cutting off his music, yet he could still hear singing. Raising his head to look around, he saw a shoulder from the other side of a tree. The hair that rested on it told him exactly who the voice belonged to. He...
It was dark by the time Eli made it home, the path up to the old brick-laden Victorian strewn with weeds. Compared to the well-kept blue house across the street, his looked to be a devistated wreck; he'd do something about it after school tomorrow, since he'd have the whole weekend to finish. I...
Eli's eyes narrowed as the girl stopped to speak to him. She just couldn't mind her own business, huh? He could tell she was going to be a nuisance from the beginning; he just hadn't realized how much of a nuisance she'd be. Her words were a naive assumption that he might just have to knock...
Even though it was only his first day in the school, Eli was already sick of it. Art was the last class of the day, so when he entered the room, he simply picked up a stool and took it to the corner. He paid no attention to the people inside, or what the teacher said, having already made the...
Eli quietly watched the world around him change, noting the colors she made appear. When she said he shouldn't be able to move, he tested the theory - by staying still. Her words hit his ears, though he paid more attention to her actions, watching her walk, noticing the longing in her eyes...
