Chapter One.

Clares POV:

I'm glad I moved to this new place. I hated my old school. It was just filled with two-faced sluts and players. I needed somewhere to start over. There's a school nearby my house, called Degrassi. Looks cool. Time to start fresh.

I was unloading my boxes when I heard a friendly voice behind me, "Need a hand?"

"Oh, Uhh, I'm fine!" I quickly turned trying not to make any eye contact. I took a step back and tripped over the curb. "Ahh!" My glasses flew and slid against the sidewalk. Just my luck, my glasses are probably scratched up now.

"Umm, you won't be needing that anymore, I guess. Haha" The dark-haired boy said. "You're eyes are really pretty."

I pulled my hair behind my ears and giggled, "thanks." Note to self, Must get contacts.

A few hours passed and I'm sitting on my front steps watching the dark-haired guy unload the boxes. When he put down the last box, he rushed over. "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Elijah Goldsworthy, but call me Eli."

"Nice to meet you, Eli." Sticking out my hand.

He shook my hand and asked me, "You're attending Degrassi, right?"

"Yeah. Do you go there?"

"Yeah. If you want, I'll come over tomorrow and walk to school with you. Give you a tour around the school." Eli said with a smirk.

"Oh wow. Well, that would be nice. Thank you." I replied.

It got late and so Eli drove home in his hearse... Who drives a hearse? Now thinking about him... he's actually pretty cool... and cute. Can't want 'til tomorrow. First day at a new school. Yay...

Eli's POV:

Today's the day I take Clare to school and show her around. While I slipped on my thumb-ring Bullfrog came into my room and told me it was time to go or I'd be late. I got my keys and left with Morty.

I could see Clare from a distance, sitting on her front steps waiting for me.

"Oh, I thought we were walking." Clare said confuzzled.

"I always drive Morty to school."

"You named your hearse Morty?"

"Yeah. Why? Is it a bad thing I named my car?"

"N-No its fine. Let's just go."

It was total silence during the whole ride. It was so awkward that you can feel the awkward-ness.

"Soo, umm... Did you get your schedule?" I asked, trying to break the ice. I looked over to see if she was alright. She sure is beautiful.

"Yeah. I have English first period then I have..." I didn't hear the rest of her classes since I wasn't really paying attention to it. Too distracted by her beauty.

After going twice around the parking lot, I finally found a spot to park Morty. From my rear view mirror, I could see Imogen walking towards Morty. Great. This girl is crazy about me. I mean CRAZY. She knows a lot about me and has this creepy crush on me. I stepped out of the car and Imogen wraps her arms around my neck. I could feel the awkward-ness again.

"Imogen, I would like you to meet Clare. Clare meet Imogen."

Imogen stepped closer to Clare. Slowly stepping around her, studying her. Then from behind Clare, Imogen whispered into her ear, thinking I wouldn't hear, "Don't get any idea's with Eli. He is mine." She then quickly skipped away.
