Clare's POV:

He was never the kind of guy I would imagine falling in love with. I couldn't even stand him when we first met, but he won my heart in the end.

I woke up Monday morning and started getting ready for school. I hated wearing that stupid uniform but I had no choice. I showered and got dressed then rushed downstairs to make breakfast. My parents had already gone to work so the house was silent, which is a rare occasion since they never stop fighting. It was 7:40 and I knew Eli would be here in five minutes so I just had a pop tart and some milk. A few minutes later I heard eli knocking on my door telling me to hurry up. I ran outside and gave him a good morning kiss then jumped into Morty and headed off to school.

"hey Clare, did you remember to bring your lunch today" Eli said while giving me that cute little smirk

"oh crap. I forgot!" I said as I went through my purse to find some lunch money.

"don't worry about it. We can go to the dot at lunch. My treat" he said as he put his hand on mine.

that is one thing that I always liked about eli, he always made sure that I was doing alright. Ever since my parents started fighting, eli has been letting my sleep at his house if the fighting got too loud and I couldn't sleep.

"thanks babe. I don't know what I would do without you." I said as we arrived at the front of Degrassi.

He leaned over and gave me a passionate kiss.

"wow..that was nice" I said still trying to catch my breath.

"well since we can't show affection at school I figured I would get a good one in before class" he said with a smirk.

"well I hope it was good enough since we might be late now" I said as I rushed out of Morty and in through the metal detectors that they school has installed after the Vegas Night issues.

Eli and I rushed into our English class right before the bell rang.

"wow..dodged a bullet there" eli said as he jumped into his seat.

"I thought you only dodged knives" I said with a little smile and sat in my seat.

"well I'm a man of many talents" he said with a smile as we both faced the front of the class and started to take out of homework.
