A/N: I have written other Eclare stories but hopefully this one will be different I hope everyone likes it and please keep in mind that this is the first chapter so nothing interesting really happens this is more to get the story rolling. In this story Eli and Julia are niners just like Clare and her friends, also they might be a little OOC.
Sadly I do not own Degrassi
KC and I are still going strong, it is a little harder now that he is the star of the basketball team since he has to practice a lot but we make it work.
I am the prop master for our school play Spring Awakening which is being directed by the handsome Declan Coyne, Alli tells me I shouldn't look at Declan like that but I really don't see anything wrong with it I mean it's like when you go to a restaurant just because you already ordered your dessert it does not mean you can't continue to look at the menu. I mean I would never act on my little crush on Declan because first of all we both have a significant other and I am not that type of girl, and to tell you the truth I'm a little scared of Holly J I really think she could destroy me literally.
So here we are with three months left of school and busier than ever. Alli and I were planning on double dating this weekend but of course Johnny thinks he is too good to hang around with minor niners so we had to cancel.
I really don't know how Alli can date that jerk, he treats her like dirt he doesn't respect her and the only reason he is kind of talking to her in public is because she sexts him, I mean what kind of boyfriend is that? Now I know KC is not perfect but he does respect me and he treats me good.
Eli's POV
There are three months left in school, and what do my parents decide to do? Move, that means I will have to attend a new school for three months and then we are out for the summer. I really don't know what my parents were thinking who would talk to the new guy coming in to the school year so late and especially one that looks like me. Not that I really care what people think of me if I did I wouldn't dress the way I do or look like most people call it like an "Emo" but I don't care what people think.
I walk up to my new school Degrassi Community School, there are kids all around and you can easily see the different groups in the school you have all your jocks either in the basketball court or tossing a football back and forth, then there are the cheerleaders those girls are so annoying they are all on the front of the school welcoming the students with big fake smiles. The deadbeats are all huddled in a corner in the far end of the school I'm almost positive they are smoking, I also see the "nerds" as some people like to call the smart kids sitting on a picnic table studying.
People are giving me weird looks but I ignore it, just as I was going to walk in to the school I see an angel, her jet black hair is pulled up in a ponytail her bangs are covering one of her hazel eyes, she is wearing black skinny jeans black converse and a black DeadHand t-shirt that was cut out and you can see her shoulder and her midsection. She is leaning against a wall alone she looks up and sees me staring at her I give her mi signature smirk she just glares at me and turns to get her bag.
I walk in to the school and walk to the front office but I can't take that angel out of my mind she is beautiful. I get my schedule from the front office and the first bell rings I walk to my first class math, hurray; can you tell I am being sarcastic? I hand the teacher a note that the front desk gave me she asks me to sit behind some girl named Julia like I'm supposed to know who that Is I just moved here sometimes people can have no common sense.
I stay staring at the rows of desks to see if there is an open one and then I see a girl raise her hand and motions for me to go to her I can't see her too well because there is a big boy sitting in front of her. When I reach her desk I see the angel from earlier this morning she nods and point to the desk behind her, I guess she is Julia. As soon as I sit down the bell rings and the teacher begins to talk.
"We have a new student with us so everyone please make Elijah Goldsworthy feel welcome" I hate when people call me Elijah only my parents can call me that and only on rare occasions. "I actually go by Eli" The teacher eyes me and just nods then continues to her lesson for the day.
I spend almost all my time coloring my nails with a sharpie I am that bored all though I don't want this class to end that way I have more time to look at Julia.
Clare's POV
There are about ten minutes left in first period and since Alli and I are done with our work the teacher lets us sit all the way in the back and talk.
"Did you see the new guy?" of course Alli would be talking about a boy that is all she ever talks about sometimes I wonder how we are best friends we are so different.
"No I didn't." Alli's big almond eyes open up even wider if that is at all possible. She takes a deep breath and begins to tell me the story of this "hot" new guy and how he has dreamy eyes she goes on and on about him I pretend to pay attention to her by nodding in some occasions and oh and ah in others. I get bits from her story but I really could care less about this guy I already have a boyfriend.
The bell rings I get my books and Alli is still going on about the new guy can't she ever give it a rest. "So yeah he is totally hot I hope I have a class with him even though he is not my type he looks like he would be more into girls like Julia." Alli says I can hear the venom dripping from her mouth as she says this, I really don't know why she is upset that she is not his type she doesn't even know his name.
"Who is Julia" I ask her as we walk to our lockers.
"That girl that is always wearing all black" I don't recall this Julia but I know if I tell her I don't know who she is talking about she will spend all next period talking about her so I just nod and smile.
KC is waiting for me at my locker I get to him and he kisses my cheek he knows that I'm not much for PDA and he respects that. Jenna comes running behind us she stops in front of Alli and they start to giggle I can kind of hear what actually more like who they are talking about, yup you guessed it the new guy.
"So how was science?" KC asks me putting his hand around my waist I smile at him "It was ok there was not much to do, Oh I almost forgot to ask you do you have any plans after the championship game?" Degrassi had made it to the Finals in basketball for the first time since Jimmy Brooks stopped playing which was a while back so the whole school was really excited about it.
"No I guess if we win the team is going to want to go celebrate, you can come along if you want to or we can do whatever you want." You see why I'm crazy about this boy he is always putting me first we reach our math class which is one of the few we have together.
"Well I don't have anything special planned but I thought we could just hang out especially if the team wins, maybe we can go out with the team for a bit and then go to Connor's house and watch movies." I say with a devilish grin on my face, KC and I have never been intimate the farthest we had gone was kissing but last week we started really making out and let me tell you making out with KC is great.
That's why I want to go to Connor's house see his room is the basement and when we are there Alli knows the drill she distracts Connor and KC and I have a little alone time he does know that it can't go any further than making out though because I do intend to keep my promise to stay pure until marriage I mean we haven't even said I love you yet and I am not sure if I do love him I know I like him a lot but I don't think I love him at least not yet.
"That sounds good Clare-bear" the bell rings and for the rest of the class I just doodle on my notebook.
Eli's POV
The rest of my classes were a big blur I really didn't pay much attention all I wanted was to see Julia again, there was something about her that intrigued me maybe it was the way she dressed or the fact that she liked DeadHand.
It was now lunch time I got my food and looked around for a table to sit at, everyone was looking at me some of the girls were looking at me some in a "he is so cute way" and others in a "who is that freak way" but I don't care.
I see Julia in a table there are a few people with her but there is a free space right next to her I debate on whether or not to sit there, I decided to just go for it and sit with her "Is this seat taken" Julia looks up at me and smiles she shakes her head and motions for me to sit next to her.
"So Eli, how has the rest of your day been?" Julia turns to look at me and smiles.
"It's been all right and yours?" I give her my signature smirk again and this time I get the reaction I usually get from girls her cheeks start to get a hint of red on them.
"It's been good, so let me see your schedule we might have another class other than math together." She holds out her hand and I hand it to her she looks over my schedule and smiles really big.
"It seems like we have four classes together." She hands it back to me and stares straight into my eyes I can't help but get the chills at the way she looks at me.
Clare's POV
One month down two to go.
Degrassi won the basketball championship all thanks to my boyfriend when we went out with the team to celebrate KC gave a speech and said that he dedicated that game to me all my friends thought that it was the sweetest thing ever and I have to admit I did too.
So now here we are getting the last things set up for the school play which opens up in two weeks. Declan and I have been staying after school to work on it I have really started caring for him as a brother I still think he is good looking but now that I'm getting to know him more I see that he is really not my type. Even Holly J and I have started to talk more she is really nice once you get to know her and of course as long as you don't cross her.
Alli is still with Johnny he started changing a bit with her, he even talks to us "niners" in public now. Let's see Jenna dated Chantey's cousin, Dave, for about a week that was fun to watch I felt bad for Dave but he is such a clown sometimes, no wonder Jenna got tired of him I think it also didn't help that she is crazy about the new guy that I still haven't really seen. But apparently he is already dating Julia she sure works fast she didn't give the other girls a chance, but according to Alli they are meant for each other whatever that means.
Eli's POV
I have been at Degrassi for a month and it has really been a good month, Julia and I started dating two weeks after I got here we would spend every afternoon together even on the weekends so it was bound to happen sooner or later I preferred it be sooner. Now a days we don't spend as much time together as we used to because she started working for Holly J and Jane two girls that are running a baby-sitter business, it sucks for me but I don't want to creep her out so I just go with it and settle for seeing her at school.
When I started dating Julia the girls here at Degrassi started rumors about her they said that she had done some sort of witchcraft on me which I found completely ridiculous, Julia is everything I could want in a girl she is hot has a great sense of humor and she loves DeadHand what more could I ask for? She put up with a lot of the crap the girls were giving her because of me and that was another reason why I like her she doesn't give a shit about what people think of her just like I don't.
The rumors have cooled off but on occasions I still hear people snicker when we walk by hand in hand. I have made a few other friends though like Sav he is a really cool guy he is in a band, STUDZ, with two seniors, Danny and Peter, and another guy that graduated last year, Spinner, he is dating Jane the girl Julia works for, they are all pretty cool but the only one that I can actually consider a friend is Sav.
Clare's POV
I can't believe the time is finally here "Spring Awakening" opens tomorrow I am so excited and at the same time nervous. Hopefully tomorrow will go by according to plan.
Please review I really love to get reviews.
