Degrassi fan fiction.

Eli Goldsworthy and Clare Edwards.

Eli's POV

As Clare and I walked out of the school building, past all of degrassi's metal detectors and police officers I take her hand, hoping I am forgiven, after three weeks, for almost getting in a knife fight with Fitz. I admit it wasn't the best idea, but hey, I can't change the past. Fitz just needs to calm down and stop trying to steal Clare, she is mine.

"Eli, what are you doing?" Clare said taking her hand back also taking with it the one piece of hope that went with it. "Holding your hand. Come on, Clare, three weeks and I am still in the dog house?" I said hoping to soften her up a little bit. "Yes, Eli, you are. Maybe you shouldn't get in knife fights about me and I would forgive you." Clare said with a slight smirk on her face. This wasn't funny, at least not to me it wasn't. "Clare, please. I was trying to defend you and get back at Fitz. Can I not have a little-"I said quickly interrupted. "3, 2, 1 okay you are forgiven." Clare said smiling and hugging me. The feeling of her embrace had been missed, missed A LOT. The feeling of her arms around me gave me a pleasant ease. I loved this feeling and I wish I could stay here forever, but sadly, I couldn't. A few seconds later Clare pulled away. This had happened far too soon.

Over Clare's shoulder I caught a glimpse of another person in the knife fight. Fitz was coming around the corner. Wait… I thought Fitz was in jail. This was all too much for my first day back at degrassi. "Eli, Come here, I think we have some unfinished business." Fitz said. Clare knew the voice. "Eli, Don't. He is just trying to get under your skin." Clare said. I knew she was right, I almost couldn't help it. But since Clare was standing in front of me I decided not to. My life is complicated enough as it is. I was new this year and already getting in knife fights with people, and a fight every other week without the knives. And always with the same person, Fitz. He and My best friend Adam had some beef, too. Adam is transgender so, he was born in the body of a girl, but really, at heart, Adam is a dude.

"Eli, I said, come here!" Fitz yelled. "Come, on Clare, Let's leave." I said putting my arm around her and pulling her away.
