Biting off more than we can chew
chapter 1- PDA anyone?
Clare's pov
The heavy air felt like it was making my already ten pound backpack even more impossible to carry. It was late April, just a few days away from Easter and the Ontario air was almost dripping with the oncoming thunderstorm that had been forecasted for about five tonight according to the weatherman, but they were always wrong. I sighed happily, just remembering that there were only 42 days of school left and, of course a summer break before I was a senior at Degrassi. Eli only had 42 days of highschool left period, however luckily for me he had agreed, well actually it had been his idea to wait a year before going to college so we could go together after I graduated from Degrassi next spring. That was really thoughtful of him and of course being me I tried to convince him to go to college without me and that I would be just fine always being grade behind him. That didn't work obviously because this is Eli we're talking about here for god's sake and he can't just do as he's told for once, oh well I guess I shouldn't complain most girls would do anything to have a boyfriend like Eli. So that's the plan, and I don't think it will be changing any time soon, but as much as I hate to admit it that plan sounded quite wonderful to me.
I smiled as Eli appeared at his locker just five down from mine and walked over to meet him there, setting down my backpack with a loud thumping sound. " hey, how was French?" I asked him while slinging my jacket over my forearm. " Okay, I guess... except I ... I might have accidently called my French teacher a bitch..." He said with fake shame. " Eli, cant you just behave for one period ever." I teased pretending to be angry at him. " how much detention did you get for that?" I questioned " just an hour for today." he said, " well, then" I said sliding closer to him " then I guess you have nothing to lose." I said as I put my arms around his neck and he puts his behind my back and we kiss. In the hall in front of everyone, I don't care because Eli already has detention for french so I might as well get detention for PDA right?" It was perfect, until Mr. Simpson came along and basically pulled us apart and gave me detention for PDA, I managed to talk him out of giving it to Eli saying I made him and things along those lines. So I got detention and Eli got off with a warning and a threat of detention next time it happened. Eli smirked at me, with his I can't believe that actually worked look and finishing loading up his backpack traded with me so I was carrying his, much lighter than mine backpack and he was carrying my ten pound one as we walked side by side but unfourntautly not hand in hand, fingers intertwined to room 208 for detention.
