Wow, I haven't written in so long, this is probably terrible but oh well.

Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi or any characters or references associated with it, the only thing that is mine is the plot.

Clare's POV

"Clare! Clare, answer me right now!" This may be the worst time for me to hear this voice, Eli and I were just having a great, soul-bearing staredown.

"Yes Holly J, may I help you?" I turned to her with a slightly annoyed smirk.

Amused she smiled at me and said "this weekend, me, you, Fiona and Alli are having a girls weekend, sorry Eli."

Eli laughed, "Eh take her, I can only annoy her so much."

"You are NOT annoying. Well, not all of the time."

"Always there to puncture my heart just a tiny bit."

"It's what I'm here for."

"Well, I'm going to leave you two underclassmen to your flirting session, adios. Oh Clare, don't forget you have a Skype date tonight!"

"How could I forget?"

Eli frowns at me. "Skype date?"

"I'll tell you about it another time, but right now we need to go to English, but first I have to stop at my locker."

"You go to your locker, I have to go find Adam, I'll see you in English."

"Alright." I smile at him, he smirks back and I walk away, feeling him staring as I walk away.

Eli's POV

That girl is always a cliff hanger, she never explains anything right away. This "Skype Date" is getting me pretty upset. I mean, I like Clare, a lot, but what if she is interested in someone else? This wouldn't be the first time someone I had feelings for didn't return them, but it still hurt.

I sat on the bench outside of Degrassi for a few more minutes, just thinking, only to be interrupted by some guy standing in front of me.

"Hi sorry to bother you but do you know a Clare Edwards?" This made me stand up, who is this guy?

"Yeah, why?"

"I've been looking for her, usually she sits outside before school starts."

How the hell did he know that?

"Well, she's inside." Why am I giving this guy information?

"Thanks man, oh I'm Declan by the way."

"Eli."

"Pleased to meet you."

He entered Degrassi, most likely looking for Clare, so I went in too. Only I knew where she was and he didn't.

Then I heard her.

"DECLAN!" She shouted and I saw her sprint towards the guy and jump in his arms.

"Prop Master Clare, long time no see."

"Not since that weekend in New York this summer."

"That was a fun few days."

They were grinning at each other, I should've known she'd be into a pretty boy like him.

"I thought we had a Skype session planned for tonight?"

This was the Skype guy? You've got to be kidding me.

"Well, I wanted to surprise you guys instead. I'm going to move in with Fiona and have my senior year at Degrassi."

"Declan are you serious?"

"Yes, I'm back!"

They both smiled at each other again, Clare began looking around and she saw me.

"Eli! Come here."

I walked over to them, not really wanting to talk to either of them.

I smirked at her blue eyes, lit up with joy.

"Declan, this is Eli."

"We've met. Good to see you again."

"Wait how did you meet?" Clare looked a bit confused.

"Outside. He asked if I knew where you were." I said.

"Oh I see. Well Eli, we have to get to English, I will see you later Declan."

"Of course you will."

They hug one more time and then Clare grabs my hand and we walk to class.

Clare's POV

Eli looks upset, like someone just stole his kitten or stomped on his heart.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing." He's a pretty bad liar.

We walked the rest of the way to class in silence, and he took his hand out of my grasp. What is wrong with this boy?

I need to talk to Alli.

We walk into English and he sits down in front of me, I sit in my seat and pull out my notebook, writing a note. Once I'm finished I pass the note behind me, into the hands of Alli Bhandari, my best friend.

A few moments later she gives the note back.

He's jealous Clare.

Of who?

Declan.

Crap. I've got some explaining to do later on.

Alright, I know this sucks. I've had the worst writer's block for months and have finally gotten some inspiration thanks to Eli and Clare, and of course Declan.

If you read it and like it, thanks. I'll probably continue it no matter what. Please review though with any critiques or plot ideas.
