I don't feel like writing I long authors note, but this is a short chapter because this is an intro to the sub plot. Keep reading to find out the whole thing!
Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi, or the song the best day by Taylor swift.
Labor day was approaching quickly, and Degrassi Community School was hosting a soldiers home-coming celebration.
Clare sat in her English class, in her typical seat, third row, second seat, right in front of her boyfriend Eli. She always sat there, because everyone left her alone (except Eli, but she didn't want him to leave her alone). But for some odd reason, Eli was late, something that never happens. So Clare sat there alone, doodling Mrs. Clare Goldsworthy in her notebook, waiting for class to start.
Eli came running in, barely making the bell. He took his seat behind Clare giving her a kiss. "Hey blue eyes!" Eli said happily. Clare wondered why Eli was so happy, but dismissed it, assuming it was the meds he was on.
Mrs. Dawes came in, and stood at the front of the classroom. "As you may know, soldier homecoming day is fast approaching, so Simpson is making us do something special. Art class is making flags out of clay, drama is putting on a play, we are writing songs! Best one gets to preform at the homecoming! Must be at least 2 minutes long, and have fun with it. Group up and get busy!" Clare automatically turned around to Eli, staring into his eyes. She looked around, and saw Bianca as the only one without a partner or group. "Can Bianca be in our group?" Clare whispered to Eli, feeling sorry for the girl. Eli shrugged, so I gave him a quick kiss, and made my was to Bianca.
"Hey, do you want to partner with Eli and me?" Clare offered politely. Bianca smiled and nodded, grateful that the girl had offered. Bianca and Clare walked over to Eli. The group walked over to the wall and sat on the floor. Clare sat alarmingly close to Eli and he put his arm around Clare pulling her closer if possible. Bianca sat awkwardly in front of them. An awkward silence filled the air. "So." Eli said, desperate to break the silence. "We should get started." Clare said. Clare got out a pad of paper. "It should be about a little girl who's brother or sister goes away, and she's thinking about them. It would be perfect for the little kids who come!" Clare proposed. Bianca and Eli nodded, thankful that Clare was as creative as she let on.
"So the chorus could be something like 'I don't know why all the all the trees change in the fall. I know you're not scared of anything at all, don't know it snow white's house is near or far away, but I know I had the best day, with you today." Clare spoke. Bianca and Eli sat stunned at her songwriting ability. "What!?" Clare asked innocently. "How did you come up with that so fast?!" Bianca asked, amazed. "When I was little, my parents fought a lot, so Darcy taught me to song whatever you feel to make it better. I guess it's just a habit now." Clare said calmly. Bianca, Clare and Eli chuckled. They were going to get an A in this for sure!
Read and review with ideas to help me! I am suffering with you guys because I have writers block. But thank my brain for making me listen to Taylor swift, it inspired me to write this. Have a great day and God bless you!
