This is for the few people out there that actually felt bad for Fitz by the end of the boiling point, because all he wanted was a simple apology from Eli, but instead got poisoned by epicac. And yes, I know that he took it too far when he fake stabbed Eli, but he ended up getting a real, sincere apology right? Oh and this is kind of a prolouge and if i decide to continue this story, the later chapters will be written once season 10 continues in fall. Anyway..Eclare is promised but this story is just to get into a little more depth of Mark Fitzgerald...because deep down, I know he is a sweet guy :) POV's will probaly change in each chapter. And this is my first story, so sorry if it sucks. Oh and Degrassi owns everything..not me...sadly..

Fitz POV

That was the last straw. I am not letting that emo punk ass get away with slipping Ipecac into my drink, and having me barf right in front of everyone at school. You'd think that blaming me for setting off a stink bomb and sending me to jail was already enough punishment for ripping off that stupid skull on his corpse car, but no. He had to push me even more. I mean seriously, when would that kid give it a rest? Did he not know that I could easily send him to the hospital with just five damn minutes with him? Then I thought of his girlfriend, Clare. She'd probably hate my guts after what I'm about to do to her little emo lover. So for her sake, I wouldn't send him to the hospital, but I will not let him just slip out of my fingers this time. I crept down a few empty halls passing by the endless rows of lockers, with the knife suddenly starting to feel heavier in my back pocket.

"Eli, he has a knife!" I heard Clare say.

I shot my head towards the sound of her voice and spotted them. "Aww..don't you two look cute?" I said with a smirk while taking out my knife.

"I think you should go," Clare chocked, while slowly backing away while I stalked towards them.

"And make pretty boy make time with my date?"

"Please Fitz, don't do this." She pleaded. I almost reconsidered for a split second, but she was probably involved with Eli's little plan too. So I just shook off the little guilt I had in doing what I was about to do. This punk needed to learn his lesson.

"Shut up bitch!" I shouted, not really caring about her feelings anymore. She obviously liked emo boy way more than me to still put up with his shit all of the time.

"Go away from me." Eli murmured while pushing Clare aside as if I were going to hurt her too. The thought alone made me sick..stabbing her beautiful porcelain skin...ugh. This chick is really starting to turn me into a sap.

"Look, I'm sorry about before. About everything. You win." He said in a surprisingly calm voice. But the look in his eyes made it evident that on the inside, he was terrified.

"Yeah, I've heard that before." I spat as I gave him a push.

"Stop, I'm serious" He spoke in a low, panicked voice.

"So am I. You've had this coming for a while." I spoke as I gave him another shove. "What's wrong emo boy? Out of smart ass comments?" I spoke louder, cornering him.

"Please..don't do this." Eli begged. I think I even saw a few tears in his green eyes...what a wuss.

"Someone's gotta shut you up." And so I did. I drove the knife towards him, barely missing him. I heard Clare scream from behind as the knife dug into the wall. I almost laughed at how terrified Eli looked as he slowly sank to the floor, but instead I gave a sinister smile. I couldn't help but smile at the fact that I had won this stupid war that could have so easily ended long ago. Yeah, that's right. No one messes with Mark Fitzgerald. I chuckled inwardly.

Clare stumbled her way to Eli and started checking to see if he was injured. "Don't worry, you could bleach out urine stains." I laughed as I was sure that I scared the piss out of him.

"Hands up! No body move!" I turned around and saw a cop with a flash light pointed at me. Shit not again. Oh well. I was almost giddy at the moment. Not even being arrested could wipe the smirk off my face. I slowly raised my hands up as the officer ran towards me and motioned me to put my hands on the lockers to search me up and down.

As the officer led me to his car, I made sure to take a good look at this hell hole that they called school, because I might not ever see this place again. I threw one more death glare at Eli and saw a glimpse of Clare before the cop shoved me into the back of his car. I think I heard her say something about not being able to be with him any more too. THANK GOD. What the heck did she see in him anyways? He's short, skinny, wears more makeup than she does on a daily basis, and he drives a damn hearse! On the other hand, she is smart, cute, considerate, and is probably actually going places in life. But I guess in a way, I'm kind of glad that she would even look twice at a guy like that. Because if she gave him the time of day, she could probably go out with a guy like me,right? I mean at least I don't look like a vampire and I am pretty ripped. Don't girls like that? But I also have to remember that Clare is no ordinary girl like Bianca or some other skank. I heard that she writes vampire fan-fiction, so maybe Eli reminds her of some sort of Edward Cullen. Well I guess I can't compete with that..

As the car drove away from Degrassi, I thought about my mom and how disappointed she would be when she finds out that I got arrested yet again and how I blew any chances I had with a girl that actually wasn't a slut. I thought about my dad, who probably didn't even give a damn about me getting arrested because he was probably drunk at a bar right now or hooking up with some prostitute. I thought about what changes Simpson would make to the school because of the little commotion I caused. But most of all, I thought about Clare and how I hoped that she didn't think I was scum of the earth and that she would ditch that bastard of a boyfriend for good. But what difference does that make? Because I'm probably going to juvie and Clare Edwards will probably never talk to me again. Suddenly I felt as if a jagged blade was tearing through my insides. The feeling was so unlike me. I never get upset over girls. But the thought of not seeing Clare made me hurt badly. Maybe going to juvie is a good thing after all. That way I can forget about everything and anything about Clare Edwards. That way I can go back to being my normal cold hearted, insensitive, shallow self for good.

That was the preview! And i know it sounds like i hate Eli in this chapter but I don't! In fact, I love him! Please review! It took me a long time to write this and like I said, it's my first story.
