Hey Guys, this is my new story. This one I am going to keep track on because I have a little bit of ideas to do. This story will be mostly on Eclare and my new character Georgia. Enjoy.

Adam Torres walked down the halls of Degrassi community school, sweating. He was wearing an undershirt and over top a short sleeve plaid top which was too hot for 30 degrees. He whipped away the sweat droplets from his forehead and headed to his new locker. Although Adam was highly uncomfortable he was beaming inside. Today was his first day of grade 11. Only two more years until he could start with the transformation he was yearning for.

Adam opened his locker and examined the graffiti. Just a "Jamal was here" and a "Sarah 2010-11". He smiled smelling the new locker scent. Adam was ready for this new year. This would be his year. This year he was determined to get a girlfriend who actually liked him for who he was. He looked at his schedule and headed for English.

On the way to English he saw his best friend Eli with crutches. Eli struggled to pick up one of his books that had fallen on the ground. Adam was still a little uneasy about Eli. He had gone crazy last year and Adam didn't know what to expect of him. Adam decided against his uncomfortable feelings and walked over to Eli. Adam bent down and picked up his friend's book.

"Thanks." Eli said not wanting to make eye contact with Adam. He felt really bad for what he had done to Clare, after therapy. He kind of felt embarrassed too and ashamed especially in front of Adam who Eli had heard still maintained his friendship with Clare over the summer. Feeling awkward, Eli started crutching away.

"Wait!" Adam called. Eli stopped and clumsily turned around."I'm sorry with what happened to you and everything. But I'm truly sorry for not visiting you in the hospital. Really. And not talking to you the whole summer. I hope you're alright and maybe we could you know...hang out some time?" Adam asked, feeling sympathy for his injured friend.

Eli just nodded and started to leave again.

"Hey, what do you have next?" Adam called out.

"English." Eli murmured.

"Me too. Here, let me carry your bag." Adam said taking Eli's knapsack from his shoulder making sure not to hurt Eli.

"You really don't have to." Eli croaked.

"But I want too."

The two boys walked to English together, or in Eli's case crutched to English. Either way both felt like a weight had been lifted of their shoulders. Adam was just glad to have his friend back and get rid of his guilt. Eli was just glad Adam hadn't shunned him and felt happy, for he hadn't felt content in a long time.

"I am so excited to have you all back in my class. Anyways there is one new student. Georgia, why don't you come up to the front of the class and tell us a little more about you?" Ms. Dawes said.

Clare turned her attention to a tall girl who stood up and made her way to the front of the class. She was slender but very toned Clare could see and her skin was the colour of a chestnut.

"Hey, I'm Georgia. I'm from California and I like sports. Bye." The girl said which made the class erupt in glaughter. The girl sat down and smirked with amusement which reminded Clare of him.

She knew Eli was in this class. She even knew he was sitting two seats behind her. Clare flashed back to last spring and the night of the accident. Eli had been so manipulative. So possessive, Clare had run out of the hospital. Clare knew that was the right thing to do but still felt regret. She knew deep down she still loved Eli. The boy who made her scream out in public. The boy who said she had pretty eyes. The boy who made her feel light headed when he kissed her. She was still in love with that Eli even though she knew she shouldn't be and would never admit it.

"Ok, thanks Georgia. Ok, this year we are to start off differently. We are going to right away start off with a book report." Ms. Dawes said. The class whined.

"Wait. There's a twist. It has to be a current book. No earlier then 2008. Also it will be in partners." Ms. Dawes said. The class cheered. "That I will pick."

"Ok, let's see. I have my list somewhere here." Ms. Dawes went to her desk and rummaged around the papers. "Here it is." She read out the list of names then handed out the outlines. The class then got into their pairs.

"Ok, what book do you want to do?" Clare asked Adam. She was filled with relief. If there was anyone she would want to be paired up with it would be Adam. If there was anyone she wouldn't want to be paired up with it would be Eli.

"Ummm... I wasn't thinking maybe Fortnight." Clare teased.

"Please, no." Adam pleaded.

"I was just kidding." Clare giggled which made Adam giggle.

Across the room Eli sat in envy watching Adam laugh with Clare. He fist and unfist his hands try to channel his rage like that doctor had said. He took a few deep breaths.

"Jealous?" Georgia asked.

"No, no, so what book do you want to do?" Eli asked erasing the image of Clare from his mind.

"You know, Chuck Palahniuk? Maybe one of his recent books." Georgia suggested.

"Chuck Palahniuk? Wow, I wasn't expecting that." Eli said looking at the fresh-face girl. She was pretty, no question but she sort of had a sporty feel to her with her dark curls being tied up in two braids.

"What were you expecting then?" She smiled showing a row of snow white teeth.

"Twilight, Gossip Girl, that sort of crap." Eli admitted returning her smile.

"Ok. The twilight books are good, just the movies are crap." Georgia reasoned.

"Typical." Eli laughed.

"So about this book report." Georgia said getting back on topic.

"Yeah, I have all of the Palahniuk books; you can come over after school?"

"I just met you, how do I know your not some psycho killer." Georgia flirted.

"I guess you just have to trust your instinct." Eli said smirking.

"I guess it's a date then."

"Yeah." Eli muttered not returning the same enthusiasm. He looked over at Clare and thought about the first time they kissed. He missed the feeling of her lips on his and her innocence. Eli had a feeling that Clare would never be his again. He knew he had to get over her knowing Clare had already got over him. He had to move on and Georgia would be a perfect participant. Georgia would be a perfect distraction from Clare.
