I was in English, staring at the black board, fiddling with my pen, bored out of my mind. It's not that I hated English, I loved writing, more than anything else but it's just that that was the only class I shared with Eli, and I couldn't even show any contact with him because it was "breaking the rules" thanks to Mr. Simpsons crack down from Vegas Night, even though Vegas Night was like two months. Whatever back to English. Ms. Dawes was explaining a scene from Sophocles' play, Antigone, even though I basically knew the play by heart. Eli was fidgeting in his seat in front of me, he hated to just seat still and listen to people talking. I tried not to laugh at his constant moving. Eli and I, for the past couple of weeks have been cleaning his room. He had really improved from his hoarding problem; he was got better and better at throwing things away every week. My thoughts were interpreted by a knock on the door. I turned around to see who it was. It was our honorable class president, Sav Bhandari.
"Oh Mr. Bhandari, what do we have to pleasure to seeing you in 11th grade English?" Ms. Dawes asked as she stopped her lecture. Sav walked into the class room from the door way.
"Actually I have to talk to one of your students for a minute, with your permission of course." Sav was so polite.
"Oh, of course." She said as she turned around to write something on the board. Sav made his way towards me, as the class kept looking at him.
"Hey, what up Eli?" Sav tapped on Eli's shoulder. Eli turned to Sav with a smile. They were good friends, sharing the interest of the band Dead Hand.
"Hey Sav, nothing much." Eli answered. Sav turned his attention from Eli to me. He kneeled down, so we were eye level.
"Hey Clare. I got something to tell you"
"Oh, hey Sav, what is it?" I got kind of nervous because he was the president and maybe he had news of something to do with the principle. He must of show my nervousness. He shook hid head.
"Oh no, it's nothing presidential or anything. It's actually personal." I was kind of relieved, but I was questioning what would Sav tell me that was personal. I nodded my head to signal him to continue. He smiled; he cupped his hands together and placed them near my ear.
"Alli is here, in Degrassi." I hung my mouth wide open, and took three deep breathes, trying to stop the urge from screaming of excitement. But I couldn't help it. I guess Sav knew it was coming and he cupped his hands on his ears.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Everyone looked at me shocked. It must have been very loud because Eli jumped a little in his seat and turned to see me. Ms. Dawes turned around as well. I didn't mean to disrupt class or anything, bit I was full of excitement.
"I….I'm sorry, but I have to… have to GO!" I started to apologize to Ms. Dawes but I couldn't help from screaming. I packed my notebook and shoved it in my purse. I looked at Sav, who was trying to not laugh out loud from my humiliation. I was wondering why he was still there.
"Come on!" I grabbed his wrist and we left the class running, well me basically pulling Sav with me, who was laughing. Could you blame me for being excited? I haven't seen Alli for about two months, since she left from Degrassi to go to an all girl school to help her problems with boys. It's been a lonely two months without her putting some drama in my life, well Eli kind of replaced her in a way with the drama, but a girl still needed her best friend. Sav and I kept running until we reached the entrance of the school, near the office. As we turned the corner, at the other end of the hallway, I saw a small, dark haired, tanned skin girl facing the other direction, talking to Principle Simpson. I let go of Sav's wrist.
"Alli!" I yelled. Principle Simpson and she turned to my direction. Alli, the second she saw me, her face light up, with a great big grin on her face.
"Clare!" she started running to me with open arms. I started to run to her. We collided and embraced with a big bear hug.
