I Do Not Own DeGrassi

This story is AU and begins after the break in season 12.

For the purposes of this story EClare did not get back together but are very good friends.

So I really don't like the idea of Dallas and Clare but this idea popped into my head and wouldn't leave so I had to get it out.

It'll probably be pretty short like 3 chapters unless I come up with more ideas or guys are just begging for more.

Ch.1 Not In A Million Years

(CLARE)

The mall was not my favorite place to be, unlike my best friend Alli who lived for shopping, I typically loathed it. The mall being one of my least favorite places to shop, the neon lights and the mindless people walking though like drones. But here I was on a Monday afternoon, because Jake's birthday was tomorrow and even though our new relationship as step siblings was somewhat tenuous, I felt the need to buy him a present.

I walked around looking through the stores wondering just what do you get for your ex-boyfriend turned Stepbrother? After a couple of hours with no luck I gave up, my stomach was growling and I needed to eat. I left the store I was in and walked toward the food court, I saw Drew working at the cell phone kiosk and waved to him, he smiled and waved back.

I glanced at the fast food choices and settled on pizza, after ordering a slice and a soda I took a seat at an empty table. I sat there absentmindedly eating my pizza thinking about what I could possibly get Jake, staring into nothing and paying no attention to my surroundings. That is until two male figures sat down at my table, one next to me, the other across. I kept eating but eyed them cooly.

The one across from me had medium length dark hair, light skin, sharp features and brown eyes, he reminded me vaguely of Reese and I shuddered internally. Reese, there was someone I hadn't thought of in forever, the way he looked at me wasn't helping the fact that he reminded me of Reese. The one sitting next to me had short spikey chestnut hair, olive skin, his face was slightly rounder than the other boys, his eyes were almost as green as Eli's, but he was bigger and more muscular than the other boy. He was also looking at me like was dessert.

"Can I help you?" I asked tersely.

"Oh there's lots of ways you can help us cutie." Said the one sitting next to me as he grasped my hand on the table.

I yanked my hand away. "Gross! As if I would ever touch either of you Neanderthals. I've lost my appetite excuse me." I said through clenched teeth, then I got up and tossed my trash and walked out of the mall.

I began walking around the outside toward the bus stop so I could go home, I passed one of the back allies where the trucks unload stuff for the stores and someone grabbed my arm and pulled me in. Before I could react I was shoved against the wall, the back of my head hit the brick wall with a thud. It hurt and my eyes went blurry for a second. I could feel two hands on my biceps forcing me against the bricks, and could make out two fuzzy figures. Finally my eyes focused, it was the two guys that had sat at my table, the look in their eyes was unmistakable, they were about to take what they wanted from me.

"GET OFF ME YOU CRETIN!" I yelled and tried to push him away but my arms were pinned to tight.

"Relax babe this'll be fun!" Hissed the one holding me, his eyes grazed over my body, his lecherous smile grew bigger.

"NO LET ME GO!" I screamed again, and tried to kick but he dodged me.

He leaned in to kiss me and I turned my head, so he couldn't kiss my lips. Tears broke from my eyes and I felt ill. And then he was jerked off me, I heard a grunt and looked to see him on the ground holding his cheek. I looked up to see Mike Dallas standing between him and me, Dallas still had his fist clenched from punching the guy. I looked to the side to see the other boy being stared down by Luke Baker. Never in a million years would I have thought that when I needed a savior most it would be Ice Hounds players and especially not Dallas and Luke.

"The Lady said let her go. Both of you get the Fuck out of here, and I better not ever see you come near here again!" Dallas said calmly but his tone was harsh, and the look in his eye said he meant business.

The two boys looked at Dallas and Luke, probably trying to decide if they could beat them in a fight. After a few seconds the one who had pinned me got off the ground and took off running, his friend followed. When they were out of sight Dallas and Luke turned to me. I was still leaning against the wall, a few tears still ran down my cheeks. I was breathing hard and couldn't seem to stop shaking slightly.

"Th..thanks," I choked out quietly.

Dallas and Luke came closer to me, I would have been frightened again but their faces were kind.

"You alright Clare?" Dallas asked me his tone was sweet and caring, something I admit I didn't think the hockey players were capable of.

"Yeah I…I'm fine, thanks again I should catch my bus." I said softly trying my best to smile as if nothing had happened.

I started to take a few shaky steps but Dallas blocked my way. "Let me give you a ride, Mrs. Torres let me borrow the car. Besides I can't be sure they won't double back and try to find you again if I don't take you home myself."

"Plus you're kinda trembling, you sure you're okay?" Luke spoke for the first time.

"Yeah I'm just…it was scary and I'm still a little shaken, I'll be fine though." I tried to assure them even though I didn't feel fine in the least.

"Come on Clare we're taking you home, there's no way I'm letting you walk, or take the bus." Dallas said.

"No really I do it all the time, I don't want to be any trouble. Besides my house is in the opposite direction of Adam's."

"It's no trouble to make sure you get home safe and anyway Luke lives in the same direction as you." Dallas persuaded offering me his arm.

I smiled a little at this gentlemanly show of manners. Seeing no point in trying to win this argument any longer I bit my lower lip and took his arm. The three of us walked to the parking lot and Dallas unlocked the car, opening the passenger door for me. I got in and buckled my seat belt, Luke got in the back and Dallas hopped into the driver's seat and off we went.

"My house is just…" I began but Dallas interrupted me.

"I know where you live," he said, I looked at him curiously and he explained, "I dropped Adam off last week."

I nodded and we rode in silence until we reached my house, I moved to get out of the car but then stopped and looked at both of them.

"Thanks again both of you, if you hadn't…anyway thanks."

"No big deal, I mean your Adam's best friend I couldn't just let them manhandle you." Dallas assured me and Luke just kinda nodded.

"Yeah but not everybody would have stopped them it was very…noble of you. Like tossing your cape over a puddle of water for me." I smiled.

Dallas chuckled a little, "Well next time I'll remember my cape. Wait where's your phone?" I pulled out my phone and he grabbed it from me gently. He fiddled with it for a moment and handed it back. "In case you see those guys again I put in my number, or if you just need to talk cause your still scared."

I smiled and could feel my cheeks blush. "Thanks again, both of you." I got out of the car and went inside without looking back. I closed the door and leaned against it, suddenly Jake was standing before me.

"Uh why did Mike Dallas and Luke Baker just drop you off?" He asked the look in his eye was one I had only seen vaguely in Peter and Spinner's eyes.

"Boy he moved from jealous boyfriend to overprotective older brother faster than I thought." I thought to myself. "Relax Jake I was at the mall to get you a birthday present and they saw me walking and offered me a ride." I smiled at him. There was no way I was about to tell him about the two sleaze balls that tried to rape me.

Jake nodded and his face relaxed, "So what'd you get me?" he asked raising his eyebrows.

"Actually I couldn't find anything that I thought you'd like. How does a gift card sound?" I asked.

Jake smiled, "Sounds fine, but you really don't have to get me anything sis."

"Well I'll feel bad if I don't so I'll pick up a gift card after school tomorrow." I said.

Jake shrugged and I went up to my room, to start on homework but I couldn't get the incident or how nice Dallas and Luke had been off my mind.

Beep Beep Beep, my alarm sounded. I groaned and turned it off, tossing the blankets off I felt a sudden rush of cold air. I looked out the window to see the ground was soaked, it had rained the night before. I scrunched up my face and went to shower, after the shower I wrapped up in my bathrobe, the house was warmer now, someone must have turned on the heater.

I went to my closet and pulled out a pair of dark jeans, a long sleeve purple shirt and my jean jacket. As I was getting dressed I heard Mom call for breakfast and I yelled that I'd be right down. I quickly dressed, did my hair, applied light makeup, slipped on my boots and ran downstairs. After breakfast Jake and I drove to school. Jake left to go find Katie and I walked up the steps to find my own friends. Alli and Jenna were talking in the foyer and I joined them. A moment later Adam and Eli joined us as well.

Suddenly our attention was drawn to a commotion coming through the doors. Allison, a girl who was trying really hard to outdo Bianca's old rep as school floozy, and who currently was a very eager puck bunny, walked into the school soaking wet below the waist. Everyone was laughing, partly because she looked silly but mostly because she was so mad about it and was yelling rambling things to the hockey players and the puck bunnies that followed her in.

"What happened to you?" I asked trying to keep a straight face.

"I slipped in a puddle and took an unwanted bath." She spat at me.

I laughed and looked at Dallas who was standing just behind her. "What didn't put your cape out for her?"

"Nah I only wear it on special occasions." He smiled at me, then his group of hockey players and puck bunnies walked down the hall.

I turned back to my friends and they were all staring at me with a curious look on their face. "What?" I questioned.

"What was that about?" Adam asked and the others nodded.

"Oh uh inside joke." I said nervously and began heading to my locker.

"Since when do have inside jokes with Dallas?" Eli questioned and I swear he had a tinge of jealousy in his voice.

"Ummm since yesterday." I said opening my locker.

"So what exactly happened yesterday to spur a friendship with Dallas?" Alli asked.

"Nothing I was at the mall and Dallas and Luke were there and…we talked a little." I said shifting nervously.

They didn't really look like they believed me but the bell rang and they stopped asking me questions. I let out a sigh of relief, I didn't exactly want to explain that they had saved me from being raped, especially to Eli and Adam.

(DALLAS)

I walked away from the puck bunnies to my locker. Don't get me wrong they could be fun, but some of them, like Allison were just too desperate. And it had been fucking hilarious when she slipped in the puddle because she was trying to kiss me. I was still smiling from my exchange with Clare when I reached my locker. I opened it and started to retrieve my books when I saw a fellow Ice Hounds jacket leaning next to me. I glanced over to see Owen looking at me.

"You got a thing for St. Clare?" He asked.

I looked at him, "St. Clare?"

"Been her nickname since grade nine, you know good church girl with the purity ring, dresses conservatively. Do you have a thing for her?" He asked again his tone more harsh this time.

"No she had some trouble at the mall yesterday and Luke and I helped her out and gave her a ride home that's all. Anyway why do you care?" I asked just as the bell rang.

Owen just kinda shrugged and walked away, I watched him go wondering if he had a thing for Clare, then shook my head no he doesn't go for girls like Clare. Neither of us do. So why can't I stop thinking about her?

Update soon I do actually have more I want to add to this but as I said I'm not expecting it to be very long.
