AN: This is a Lemony Crackship. Get ready for some Dralli and Clowen. (also some LuKat, Fimogen, Badam, Bianson, Jennor) This is somewhat AU. Assume Degrassi cannon except no Cam suicide, no Asher, and all other changes will be apparent in the story.
Prologue One Week Ago
Alli was at the Dot crying. Another failed relationship, another jerk for a boyfriend. This time Dave cheated on her over spring break and he left her for Jacita. Clare saw her crying and ordered them a chocolate milkshake with two straws. This always cheers up Alli.
"It's gonna be okay," Clare told her as she sat down with the treat.
"When did you come in?"
"A few minutes ago, but you didn't see me."
"Dave cheated on me and he left me. Why do guys always leave me?"
"I don't know. I'm not the best with relationships myself."
"You just got Eli back at the Frostival."
"Yeah, and now he just wants to smoke weed with Jake. He's hardly been a boyfriend. We didn't do much at all over spring break. I thought maybe we'd have some sexy time."
"Really, but your ring."
"I've been thinking about it for a long time. I don't think I want to wait until marriage anymore."
"And Eli passed it up to smoke with Jake."
"Well I didn't say, stop smoking so we can have sex, but I thought he'd at least try to romance me a little, take me out to dinner, a picnic anything, but he would just get high and laugh at stupid stuff. I miss Eli. I feel like I just got him back and he's gone again."
"Did you tell him how you feel?"
"Yes and he swears it helps with his bipolar disorder, but I think it makes him worse. I also begged Jake to stop giving him so much weed because of his medication and he laughed it off too."
"Guys suck, Clare."
"You can say that again."
"Thanks for helping me stop crying."
"Anytime Alli. We're always in each other's corners. No matter what."
We fist bump and then laugh about it.
Alli's POV
Clare's right. I need something to distract me from Dave. I'm good at math and I could use some money, so I go ahead and make up the account SexyMathTutor online to see if I can get any customers. I put up the coursework I've done, and I hope for the best.
Clare's POV
I finally have a real date with Eli. He promised to take me out to dinner and a movie and be sober. I am relieved. I put on a sexy bra and matching panties hoping we can get some affection going on. I want this to be a good night. He picks me up, and I kiss him on the lips. "Shall we?"
He borrowed his Mom's car since Morty's long dead, and he takes me to the Dot, which is dinner I guess, but not that special. He could have at least sprung for Little Miss Steaks. After dinner, we go to the movie, which is some horror movie. Not so great, but maybe we can just make out during it. I try and kiss him, but he doesn't seem too interested. What am I doing wrong? Why doesn't he want me anymore? At the end of the date, he brings me home.
"How was your date?" Mom asks me.
"Sucky!" I go upstairs and text Alli. "I don't think Eli wants me anymore."
She calls immediately.
"What! He's crazy about you. He almost got stabbed; he wrecked his car. He wrote that crazy-ass play."
"He took me to the Dot for our dinner date and didn't even want to make out during the movie."
"Ooh! That's bad."
"Duh! I had on my sexy underwear, and he didn't even try to see it."
"Ouch! Maybe you should dump him before he dumps you."
"I just might do that."
The next day, I call him to ask him where he is. He says he's at home, so I go over and he's not there. I remember Adam put Find my Friends on our phones, and I track Eli to a house. I go over there and he's making out with some bitch.
"ELIJAH GOLDSWORTHY WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
He looks up, busted. "Clare let me explain."
"Let you explain what. Why you ignored me all spring break to get high with my stepbrother? Why you would barely kiss me on our date last night? Why you told me you were at home when instead you're making out with a girl who looks like she's strung out on meth! We are SO OVER!" I stormed out. He ran after me, claiming he was only kissing her because he ran out of money to buy drugs and he and Jake were out. "SO YOU'RE A PROSTITUTE TOO! GET OUT OF MY LIFE!"
I am too upset to cry. I call Adam, and he picks me up to take me home. I tell him it's over. Eli picked drugs and another girl over me. We're done. He gives me this sympathetic look. "I'm sorry if I interrupted your date," I tell him.
"I had to drop off Becky anyway. You didn't mess up anything."
"Thanks for the ride." I run upstairs. Jake asked me if I had seen Eli.
"YES I SAW HIM HOOKING UP WITH A SLUT SO HE COULD SCORE SOME DRUGS FOR YOU TWO! I HOPE YOUR HAPPY!" I ran into my room and locked the door. My mom heard the commotion and asked me to open it. I did, reluctantly. The waterworks started now, and it wouldn't stop.
In the morning, Glen told Jake no more drugs, again. He told him like three times already. When will he grow some balls and be a father? If he had, maybe I'd still have a boyfriend. I go over to Alli's and tell her what happened. She says guys suck and maybe I could be a tutor. She's going to tutor in math to kill her newly found free time and make some money for the summer. I could try the same for English. I have plenty of time to burn.
