Clare's P.O.V

London, England, the most inspiring place in the world. That's where we were going, we, being the entire school of Degrassi. No school, no parents, no stress, just relaxation and the giant city of London to explore for a whole month.

We were at the airport, waiting for our flight. I personally hate airplanes and airports. There is so much security and so many people running around like chickens with their heads cut off. They shove and push, it's really not enjoyable. I also am terrified of airplanes. I hate the discomfort of being in the air, it's nauseating and it's such a small space filled with dozens of people for long periods of time, not really my cup of tea.

I am, however, excited to be going to London. I've been once before, and the architecture is gorgeous, the scenery is breath taking and there are so many museums and galleries to visit. All I have to do is get through the nine hour flight, then I will be in, what I think is, one of the greatest cities on Earth.

It was five o'clock in the morning, and I was really tired. Everyone had to be at school at two o'clock, and then we had to go through the airport stuff, so I was relieved to have about an hour to just relax on a bench and read before our flight.

"Hey Clare!" a bubbly Jenna said.

So much for relaxation, I thought to myself.

"Hi Jenna, how are you?" I said with as much energy as I could.

"I'm great, no I'm fantastic. I'm so excited to be going to London; this is like one of my dreams, especially to be going with all my friends!" she replied.

How does this woman have the energy? I wondered.

"Where's Eli? Aren't you guys like joined by the hip?" she asked.

One thing I forgot to mention, my break up with Eli. It ended terribly and I haven't seen or talked to him since. However, during this trip my goal is to completely forget about him. London is huge, and the chances of us running into each other are slim to none. Another thing you should know is, nobody really knows. I mean, Adam and Ali know, but the gossip hasn't really spread around Degrassi yet.

"I don't know." I replied awkwardly. "I should go their going to start boarding soon."

As I got up I looked behind me and saw the pair of green eyes I'd been hoping to avoid this trip. He was close enough to of heard the conversation, and I could tell he did.

I probably should have told Jenna that we'd broken up, because with her big mouth everyone would know before we started boarding. But I really did not feel like answering questions, getting pity, and have people try setting me up with someone new. If I was going to get over this I need to forget it ever happened. Erase him from my memory. And I was hoping he'd do the same.

"Boarding rows 1 to 29" an announcer said.

I looked at my ticket.

Row 25, seat E.

I boarded the plane and started walking down the rows and stopped at twenty five.

I looked at the people I'd be sitting beside for the next nine hours and my jaw dropped slightly.

"You've got to be kidding." I murmured to myself.
