Okay I know Eclare is over on the show but I just can't stop writing these stories! I had an idea and I could not let it go so I wrote it ! :)

Btw I already have this story all done and written so if you guys like it, please review and tell me if you want more :)

Clare's POV

I woke up about 30 minutes ago. I just finished doing my hair, which was now sleek straight, and I was now just adding some make-up. I added a sparkly silver eye shadow to the lid of my eye, along with a thin line of black liquid eyeliner. I applied some mascara and some black pencil eyeliner to the bottom lid of my eyes. I applied some clear lip gloss, just to add a little kick to my look.

I walked out of my bathroom and into my walk in closet. I grabbed a dark green t-shirt that hugged my curves, and threw it on. I added a small black vest to go over it and then threw my dark blue skinny jeans. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled.

HONK HONK

I looked towards the window and smiled wider knowing Eli was waiting for me outside. I grabbed my bag and ran out of my room and down the stairs. I grabbed an apple from the basket sitting in the middle of the kitchen table and threw on my convers. I yelled goodbye to my mom and ran outside and into Morty, Eli's hearse.

I opened the door to the passenger side and climbed in, smiling at Eli. He smiled back and started to drive out of my driveway.

"Oh, for me? You shouldn't have" he said while grabbing my apple and taking a bite.

"I didn't" I shot back as I grabbed the apple. He smirked and started driving to school.

Eli Goldsworthy is the most popular guy at school. He's on the basketball team and he's got the looks. Every girl wants to be with him and every guy wants to be his friend. Now as for me, it's kind of the same story. I'm not trying to sound self-absorbed but I am also pretty popular. A lot of girls envy me, but a lot just want to be friends with me. Some hate me but I don't mind. Every time I walk through the halls of Degrassi, there are always eyes on me. Guys always check me out, even if they have a girlfriend. Normally a girl with this kind of attention would love it, but not me. I could care less.

So I bet you're wondering how a guy like Eli, could ever be best friends with a girl like me. Sure were from the same kind of world, but were totally different on the inside. First, let me start from how this all began.

*Flashback*

It was about 5 months ago. I was new to Degrassi and I met this girl Bianca. She and I instantly clicked and we became friends. She told me about this party that was being thrown and she invited me. I decided it might be a good way to meet people so I tagged along.

At the party, Bianca and I were just talking and drinking. Normally I'm not one to drink but I only had one cup. Soon some guy came and took Bianca to the dance floor, leaving me alone. I didn't mind because this gave me time to think and examine everybody. I looked around noticing all the people dirty dancing, making out, drinking, smoking, and more. I sighed and took a sip of my drink.

"Hey" I heard someone say. I looked beside me and saw a tall guy with brown hair. He was smiling at me and I smiled back.

"Hey" I replied.

"I'm Mark, but people call me Fitz" he held out his hand.

"I'm Clare" I replied, shaking his hand.

"So Clare, tell me, what's a pretty girl like you doing standing here alone?" he smirked, which kind of scared me.

"I'm here with my friend" I pointed to Bianca grinding next to some guy.

"Your friends with Bianca?" I just nodded. "Well, you're going to be popular in no time."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well, she is pretty popular, and if your friends with her, you will be too. Plus" he paused and stood a little too close for my liking. "Your very attractive" he started staring at me like I was something to eat.

"Uh, thanks" I tried walking away but he stepped in front of me.

"So, what do you say we go upstairs and have a little fun" he started to slide his hands up and down my side. I tried to get away but he held onto me tighter.

"Uh, no thanks. I have to go now" I tried getting out of his grip but he pushed me against the wall and attacked my neck with his lips.

I tried pushing him away but it was no use, he had a good grip on me. I tried pushing him away again and this time it worked. He looked mad and then he grabbed my hands before slamming them to the wall and holding them there.

"I see you like it rough" he whispered before attacking my neck again.

I shook my head and tried pushing him away again but he held onto my arms tighter and kept them against the wall. I felt tears prick my eyes and I closed my eyes, wondering why no one was stopping this creep. A few moments later, that Fitz guy was off of me. I opened my eyes to see him and a shorter guy with black shaggy hair, black button down shirt and black skinnies. He was glaring at Fitz.

"What the hell!" Fitz yelled.

"What? You think I'm going to let you get away with coming onto my date?" The black haired guy asked. Date? I thought to myself. What does he mean?

"She's your date?" Fitz asked.

The black haired guy smirked and walked over to me before putting his arm around me. "Yes" I was now officially confused. I have never seen this guy before. I guess he noticed how confused I was because he leaned down and kissed my temple before whispering "Play along"

"He's your date?" Fitz asked.

It was either play along with this saviours plan or go with the guy that might rape me. "Yes, he is my date" I hesitantly wrapped my arm around the black haired guy's waist and felt him hold me closer.

"Well Fitzy boy, what are you still doing here? She's mine" Mystery man said.

Fitz glared at us and then walked away. I sighed and unwrapped my arm from mystery man's waist while he unwrapped his from my shoulders.

"Are you okay?" I heard him ask. I looked up and was immediately amazed at how beautiful this man's green eyes were. They were breathtaking. "Hello?" he waved his hand in my face.

"What? Oh, yeah, thanks" I said as I came back into reality. I looked at his whole face and I had to admit this man was very attractive.

"No problem, he's an asshole anyways" he smirked and I officially fell in love with it. I just smiled and laughed a little. "So, are you new here?"

"Yeah, I thought I would meet people better if I went to a party, but that didn't work out to well" I laughed nervously.

"Well, you met me" he smirked again.

"Yeah well, I'm still debating on if that's a good thing or a bad thing"

"Oh really?" he raised an eyebrow. "Well I could always go tell Fitz that you're not really my date" he started walking away. I grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

"No!" he laughed and shook his head.

"That's what I thought" he smirked. I rolled my eyes and leaned against the wall, he did the same but he propped his foot up and rested it against the wall. "So, why are you here alone?"

"I'm not, Bianca brought me"

"You know Bianca?"

"Yeah, I met her my first day and we instantly clicked. It's weird; I never thought I would be friends with someone like her."

"Someone like her?" he asked.

"Yeah, she's popular and the wild partying type, while I'm more of the lame type" I laughed nervously.

"I don't think you're lame" I looked up at him and he looked serious. I smiled and turned my head, trying to hide the blush that was creeping on my face.

"Thanks" I finally said. "Well I'm sure you want to get back to your actual date so I'll just go find Bianca" I said as I got up from the wall and started walking. To my surprise, I felt a hand wrapped around my arm and pull me back.

"You realize you're the only date I have" he smirked.

"You mean you didn't come here with anyone?" I asked a bit shocked.

"Why do you seem so surprised?" he asked smirking.

"No reason, just figured you would" I shrugged.

"Well this loud music is really getting to me; do you want to go outside for a while?" he asked.

I was shocked. Why would he want to spend time with me when he could be doing anything with anyone here at this party? I shrugged the thought off and then nodded. He smiled and took my hand before leading me through the dancing couples. We finally reached the door and he opened it, letting me outside first, before he followed.

Once we got outside I walked over to the front lawn and took a seat. He walked over and sat next to me. You could still faintly hear the music. I then realized I don't even know this mystery guy's name.

"You know, I don't even know your name" I said as I looked over to him.

He smirked and replied, "It's Elijah, but I prefer Eli" I smiled. I really like that name. "And yours?" he asked.

"Clare"

"That's a pretty name" he smirked.

"Thanks, I like yours" I looked at the stars "Elijah" I said his name trying to see how it sounded. " you know that's pretty catchy" I smirked and looked back at him.

"I normally don't like it when people call me by my full name" he looked at me and smirked before saying, "But I don't mind when you say it"

I felt my face heat up so I turned my head and looked up at the stars. I heard the song 'If We Ever Meet Again by Timberland and Katy Perry' come on. I smiled and listened to it as I looked at the stars. Once Katy Perry started singing, I did too. This was my favourite part of the song and I always sing it. I didn't even realize Eli was staring at me until that part was over.

"You have a nice voice" he said.

I looked over at him slowly and laughed nervously before replying, "I normally don't sing in front of people, but thanks"

The rest of the night we continued talking. He told me that he and Bianca are actually good friends and that I might see more of him. I rolled my eyes on the outside but on the inside my stomach did a back flip. We played 20 questions and learned more about each other. I learned that he drives a hearse who he named Morty. At first I was a little freaked out about it but I realized it fit his personality very well. He told me he was on going to try out for the basketball team. I'm not that into sports but if he joined basketball, I might have to change my mind.

I told him about my sister being in Kenya and how my parents are fighting a lot. It was really nice to actually have someone actually listen to me. I told him about my laser eye surgery and he looked shocked. He said I have really pretty eyes and that he never would have guess I used to wear glasses. The rest of the night we stayed outside and kept talking, until a drunken Bianca came out and stumbled in front of us laughing her head off. Eli offered to drive us home and I said yes. At the end of the night he ended up kissing my cheek before he left and I walked in to the house with the goofiest grin on my face.

*End of Flashback*

And now here we are, 5 months later. After that night, Fitz left me alone for the most part, but he would occasionally 'run' into me in the hallways. That was until Eli and I became best friends. We were inseparable. He made the basketball team and became very popular; as did I. Bianca had a lot of effect on that part. If it weren't for her I would probably be invisible. Bianca and I wouldn't miss a single one of Eli's games. Bianca and I would always be in the bleachers cheering him on. We all became really close but Eli and I were closest. They even helped me on my look. I told them how I was getting sick of wearing dresses and floral tops, so Bianca and Eli took me shopping. Bianca threw out all of my clothes and bought me a whole new wardrobe. I told her I couldn't let her pay for it all but she insisted since her dad is rich. I finally gave in and we spent the whole day trying on clothes for me. I got a whole new wardrobe with short shorts, short skirts, skinnies, t-shirts that hugged my curves, and some tank tops. She even got me some accessories to go with everything and she told me what to wear with everything.

After my new change I started getting a lot more attention from guys. They would always check me out in the hallways or if they had enough guts, they would ask me out. I would always reject them because there was only one guy I had my eyes set on. And I was sitting in his car right now but I would never admit my feelings for him. I never let it show. If I did, I am pretty sure it would ruin our friendship.

The hard part is that we even have sleepovers. I know, weird, but it's what we do. Some of them would be the three of us, Bianca, Eli and I, but some would be just Eli and I. His parents are very open and they love having me over. When we do have our sleepovers, it would be at his house since my parents are always arguing. We would talk about everything and anything. We even shared the same bed, but to us, that was normal.

The only problem was each time we were that close, I felt my heartbeat get faster with every second. If only he knew how I felt.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when the car stopped. I realized that we were at school.

"Clare, are you okay?" Eli asked. I looked over to his gorgeous face and smiled.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"

"You were quite the whole ride. You didn't even eat your apple" he glanced down at the apple in my hand that had a bite taken out of it from him.

"Oh, just have a lot on my mind" I shrugged and took a bite. I didn't feel like eating it so I opened the door and spit out what I had in my mouth and threw the rest of the apple away.

"You know you can talk to me about anything" he smiled.

"Thanks, but it's nothing bad. Don't worry about it" I smiled back.

He nodded and we both got out of Morty and headed up the steps of Degrassi. We walked in the doors and down the hall. The same thing happened every morning. Girls would check him out and I would mentally glare at them. The only thing I liked is how Eli never paid attention to them.

Now as for me, guys would check me out. I wouldn't pay attention to them though. Two reasons why. One, because I have my eyes set on Eli, even though I know it will never happen. The other reason why I don't pay attention to the guys is because I know what they all want, sex. Even though I'm not that same innocent girl as before, I still believe that your first time should be with the one you love. I may have decided that if I find true love before marriage, I would consider making love. The only problem there is that the one I love, is my best friend.

We finally reached our lockers, which were right beside each other's, and we got our books. I closed my locker and turned around to bump into someone. The books I just got went flying to the floor as I stumbled back. I finally got my balance back and I leaned down to pick up my books, when I noticed another hand helping me. I looked up and saw K.C Guthrie. I have never really talked to him before but he's on Eli's basketball team.

"Sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going" I said.

"No, no, it's my fault. I'm so clumsy" he laughed nervously and handed me my last book for class. We both stood up and he held out his hand. "I'm K.C."

"Clare" I shook his hand.

I hate to admit this but he was actually really cute. He is the first guy to actually grab my attention ever since I started developing feelings for Eli.

"I know who you are. I've always wanted to talk to you but I would always get nervous" he laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head.

"Why would you get nervous?" I asked.

"Well, you are a very beautiful girl and if I asked you out and you rejected me, I would feel like crap" he laughed nervously again.

"Well, why don't you ask me out and see what happens?" I smirked.

He laughed and then looked me in the eyes. "You know the party that's happening tonight?" I nodded. "Would you go as my date?"

I smiled and looked him in the eyes. I didn't even notice Eli was standing there listening to the whole conversation. I didn't even notice the hint of jealousy in his eyes. I didn't even notice his lip twitch when I answered the word, "Yes".

So? Good? Bad? Did it suck?

Review and tell me what you think and if I should add another chapter. :)
