AN: / I got this idea from reading a few stories. I want to write about all of the characters that are on this season of Degrassi. So, it won't just be focused on Clare and Eli or Drew and Bianca or any other couple. It will be focused on all of the couples and non-couples. So, I want you all to sit back and enjoy. Please read and review. I don't want to think I came back for nothing.

About the story:

Clare is with Eli (for now). He's in NY still. In here, they don't really talk much—you'll find out why. Drew is with Bianca (for now). She's away at college and the two are still engage. Alli is with Leo (don't hate me, please). He moved here with her and NO they're not married. Maya is with Miles who is secretly dating Zoe (which I'll get into more details about in this chapter). Adam is VERY much alive and is torn between Becky and Imogen. Jenna and Connor are doing rather fine, but they'll have a few problems. Tristan finds a new hobby. Chewy makes friends with the wrong crowd, but someone helps him through. And Dallas, well, Dallas is just trying to get Alli to say one word to him.

This chapter is actually about Clare, Miles, Zoe, and Eli (in this particular order).

Degrassi

(CLARE):

As soon as she gets home, she zooms up the steps and into her room. She flings her book bag on the ground and runs towards her laptop. It is 4:30 on a Friday afternoon. Eli had assured Clare that they could Skype for an hour since they barely had time to talk anymore. He was busy with university and she was busy with her senior year. They've been missing each other calls and texts; it was infuriating Clare.

It's been a whole month since she has had a long conversation with Eli. Their conversations usually lasted for five minutes and that's if Clare was lucky. She was never that busy to the point that she couldn't pull out her phone and send Eli a quick text. He, on the other hand, couldn't even take a second to text her.

Clare signs in on Skype and waits patiently for Eli to log on. When he does, his picture pops up. She clicks on the answer button and his face shows on the screen. A grin appears on her face and her heart skips a beat. She misses Eli and it was heartbreaking that he was so far away.

"Hi Eli," she greets.

"Uh, hey Clare," he says slowly, "I know I promised that we would Skype for an hour, but I'm going to busy so I only have a few minutes to spare."

Clare's heart sinks. Eli doesn't even look at her while they talk and that's what makes her heart sink even more. He's looking around his dorm room, almost as if he's expecting something. When he finally does look at her, Clare bites her lip and forces herself to nod her head.

"I understand, Eli," Clare says sadly, "I miss you."

Clare hears Eli's door creak open. A girl walks in and flops on Eli's bed. His face brightens up and he turns his attention to the girl as if Clare isn't even on the screen in front of him. Eli waves eagerly at the girl and they began to converse briefly before he realizes that he's still on Skype with his girlfriend.

"Shit, Clare," he says, "I'm sorry. I have to go. I'm busy, but you understand right?"

Before Clare could respond, Eli hangs up and signs off. Clare stares at the screen flabbergasted at what just happened. She signs off Skype and furiously closes her laptop. She goes over towards her bed and flops down. She begins to stare at the ceiling and tears trickle from her eyes.

Was Eli cheating on her?

Clare curls on her side and lets the tears soak her pillow. She brings her knees to her chest and sobs silently. Why would Eli cheat on her? If he wasn't happy in this relationship, then why didn't he just leave? He told Clare that he was all in. Since when was cheating apart of being all in?

(MILES):

It was a late Friday evening at the Hollingsworth house. Miles was lying on his bed—in his bedroom—making out with Zoe Rivas. He knew this was wrong, especially since he had Maya Matlin as his girlfriend. She was everything he could ever wish for, except she never wanted to go far in bed. The most Miles has down his grope her breast through the fabric of her shirt! It took a lot to convince her to let him do that!

He never wanted to cheat on Maya and especially with her number one nemesis. It had happened over night at one of Miles' parties that he always threw when his father was out of town. When Maya had told him that she couldn't make it he decided to be laid back at the party. That was until Zoe showed up. She flirted with him; she teased him. It made Miles desire her. While everyone was focused on buying booze, Miles and Zoe had snuck away to make out. Things soon got heated and that night they lost their virginities to each other. He regretted it as soon as it was over, but he couldn't tell Zoe that.

He remembers Zoe asking him, "What are we going to do about Ms. Matlin?"

At the time, Miles didn't know. He was only thinking about how he was afraid if the word would get out. He was afraid of how Maya would look at him when she found out that he had cheated on her.

"We won't tell her," He says, "I love her."

"But you had sex with me!" Zoe shrieked angrily.

"I know and we're going to be together."

"You're with Maya, so how exactly is that going to work out?"

"We can have a secret relationship," he says and Zoe rolls her eyes, "It's not so bad, Zoe. We won't be able to make out in public, but that just means that you can spend all day at home with me. Well, unless Maya or Chewy decides to come over."

"I guess this can work, but how long will our relationship be a secret?"

"Until I find a way to break up with Maya."

"Well," Zoe says breaking the kiss, "This was quite nice, but it's getting late and I need to head home soon."

"How will you get there?"

"My mom will pick me up at the library near here. That's where she thinks I'm at. Call you later, boyfriend."

Zoe kisses Miles sweetly on the lips before she straightens out her clothes. She grabs her purse and kisses him again. Miles stands up and grabs her hand. They walk down the steps and he walks her to the door. Before Zoe leaves, he kisses her again and closes the door.

Sighing, Miles goes back up the steps and into his room. He flops on the bed and shakes his head. He had two amazing girls. One of them was willing to secretly date him and the other only thought he was dating her.

Here he was, breaking Maya's heart and only because she wasn't ready for sex. He jumped for sex the first moment someone offered it to him. He didn't care that it was the girl Maya despised. He didn't care that it was the girl who always tried to break him and Maya up. He only cared that she gave him what he had truly wanted: sex and lots of it.

"I'm such a pig!" he says to himself.

(Zoe):

Zoe strolls down Miles' driveway and heads down to the library her mother was on her way to. She walks expeditiously, hoping she could get there in time to fix her makeup. A smile creeps upon her face as she replays what just happened between her and Miles.

Miles Hollingsworth was everything Zoe ever wanted in a guy. He was tall, handsome, rich and most importantly unavailable. Well, that was until she had gotten a hold to him. Of course, he was still dating Maya Matlin—the girl who wants to practically tear Zoe in half—but he was also dating Zoe.

If word ever got out that Zoe was dating Miles while he was with Maya, people would call her a "ho" or say that she's desperate. They didn't understand the connection that she and Miles actually experienced. In school, they had to avoid each other. They barely even looked each other's way. When school was over and they were alone, things were hot between the two.

Their relationship was mostly intimate, but she knew why. Maya didn't want intimacy at the moment and Zoe was willing to give it all to Miles even if that meant keeping it a secret. She knew Miles was using her and it actually broke her heart that he only wanted her when she gave him what he wanted. She was degrading herself just to get Miles to notice her.

Zoe made it into the library and looked around to spot her mother's car. When she didn't see it, she ran into the bathroom to fix her makeup. Her red lipstick was smeared and her eye shadow was wearing off. She went into her purse to reapply her makeup and fix up her clothing. When she came back out of the bathroom her mother was glowering at her.

"Mom!" she gasped, "When did you—you startled me!"

"I can ask you the same, Zoe. You weren't at the library all day, because I came earlier to check up on you. Where were you, Zoe and I won't take some stupid lie."

(ELI):

After signing off Skype with Clare he turns his attention to the blonde on his bed. She kicks off her shoes and pulls her hair back, giving Eli a cheeky grin.

Lenore Mantino was Eli's gorgeous roommate. The two were close and there was some sexual tension, also. He would never cheat on her due to the fact he was with Clare although the opportunity was tempting.

He loves Clare, but there's so much distance between the two. They hardly talk and it's his fault. Every time he gets the chance to talk to her or hear her voice, he gets upset and starts to miss her like crazy. He hates that she's at Degrassi, devoting all her time into being VP while he's here devoting all of his time into Lenore.

"Eli," Lenore calls out flirtatiously, "What do you want to do tonight? Maybe we can go to a bonfire or you and I could go have a private party?"

Eli sighs and shrugs. Does he want to go to an innocent wild bonfire or did he want to have that private party with Lenore. Clare's innocent face pops into his mind and all he can think about how bad he's hurting her. All she wants to do is talk to him and he keeps distancing himself from her. He was a terrible boyfriend.

"Let's go to a bonfire. How bad can it be?" he hears himself saying.

Lenore stands up from Eli's bed and walks over towards him. She sits on his lap; her face is inches from his. He feels her hot breath tickling his face. He cheeks goes red and he instantly goes hard.

"You sure you want to go to the bonfire, Eli? I hear the private party is way better," she coos.

"I love Clare."

Lenore gets off Eli's lap and huffs sadly. She walks back to Eli's bed and flops down. Eli expects to see her angry, but she had a smile on her face. She shakes her head, letting her blonde hair fall in front of her face before she pulls it back.

"That's really sweet, Eli. You love your girlfriend so much that you don't even want to screw the girl that you've wanted since day one. Your girlfriend is lucky. Now, I'm going to change and then we'll leave for this bonfire."

Eli watches Lenore grabs some clothes and then she heads into the bathroom. He lets out a sigh of relief and rakes his fingers through his silky hair. He did well. He managed to get past another attempt to fuck Lenore's brains out. The bathroom door squeaked open and Lenore's head popped out.

"I forgot my bra," she says and Eli blushes, "Could you get them for me?"

"S—Sure," he stammers.

Eli walks over towards Lenore's dresser and she tells him it's a black, strapless one. After he retrieves it, he walks towards the bathroom and covers his eyes so he doesn't have to see Lenore's breasts. She laughs and grabs it. After Eli hears the door closes, he opens his eyes and decides that he needs to change. He quickly changes out of his sweats and Dead Hand shirt into a pair of black skinny jeans with a gray button up. Lenore emerges out of the bathroom wearing a pair of short, cutoff shorts and a tube top that her breast practically spills out of.

Eli groans quietly. This was going to be one hell of a night!
