Clare's POV
It was my first day of junior year at Degrassi and I decided that I wasn't going to let these stupid uniforms stop me from feeling good about myself. New Year new Clare is all I kept saying as I walked through the doors on my first day back after summer, and down the hall was where I saw my best friend Alli at her locker. I hadn't seen her in almost 3 days which was pretty long considering we saw each other almost everyday this summer. I decided I was going to sneak up on her and surprise her. That's when I did the most embarrassing thing that could happen to me on the first day back. I guess I had missed "caution wet floor" sign and I ran right over the wet floor. All I can picture was everyone staring at me as my books went flying and I knew I was going to fall flat on my face. Then I felt something underneath my back and it wasn't the hard floor.
"are you okay" I heard a voice say
"…uh yea" I said kind of shocked that I hadn't hit the floor
As I looked up I noticed the person who had saved me embarrassment from falling was none other the Drew Torres the hottest guy in the senior class and the ex-boyfriend of my best friend. He was standing with a bunch of other senior football players, which was embarrassing in itself. I looked up and I saw his gorgeous eyes looking down into mine and I noticed he was still elevating me from falling on my face.
"Good because that was a close one" he said laughing
He slowly brought me back to my feet and then he helped me pick up my books
"Thanks Drew for helping me and catching me before I made a fool of myself on the first day back"
"no problem…um Clare? Right" he said in a questioning voice
"yep that's my name" did I really just say that…I'm so embarrassing
"cool, well see ya" he said as he walked away with his crowd of friends
"oh my god Clare did you really just fall after being back for about 5 seconds, and into my ex boyfriends arms might I add" Alli said laughing so hard she was almost in tears
" Ha Ha Alli, that was so not funny"
"umm yes it was, sorry Clare I love you but that made my day, wait no my LIFE" Alli said still laughing
"whatever, so are we still hanging out tonight" I said trying to change the subject
"of course, what time are you tutoring connor until? Alli questioned
"like 7ish at the dot, ill come right after" I said reassuring her
"cool, make sure you bring me a latte from the dot after" Alli said while walking away to her first period class
"Yes master whatever you say" I said yelling down the hall as Alli turned around and smiled at me
