Author's Note: Hi everyone. This is my second fanfiction story. I got the idea while watching the show, New Girl. So this is going to be based off of the show, but everyone will have their same Degrassi personalities, so if you haven't seen New Girl, it won't really matter. Adam and Drew are not related in this story and everyone is in their first year of university. Clare is religious but not as religious as she is on Degrassi. Clare is based off of Jess, Eli is based off of Nick, Drew is based off of Schmidt, Adam is based off of Winston, and Alli is based off of CeCe. Bianca, Katie, and Fiona will be added in as friends of Clare's, and some other characters will be added in as well. This is going to be an Eclare story, with some other couples and friendships on the side.

Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi or New Girl.

"Alli, what am I going to do? Thanks to my parent's divorce, I don't have anywhere to go!" Clare exclaimed to her best friend as they were sitting at The Dot.

"You could always live on campus, you know." Alli replied like it was no big deal.

"Alli! Campus registration passed last month! I figured I'd be living at home so I didn't bother filling it out!" Clare stated, annoyance rising in her voice.

"I'd say you could live with me but you how the loft is. They're all, 'Alli, this place is for models only, not for friends.'" Alli said with a frown as she got up to order. She came back to the table with her coffee and a piece of paper in her hands.

"What's that?" Clare asked.

"It's an advertisement about some people looking for a roommate! And the apartment is only ten minutes away from campus! I'm calling them right now!" Alli exclaimed excitedly as she dialed the phone number on Clare's cell.

"Alli! It says it's three guys. What if they're, like, murders or something?" Clare asked, slightly scared.

"Oh hush up, Clare. It's ringing! Hello? Yes, hi. Um, I was wondering if you're still looking for a roommate. Oh you are! Well that is just so great. My friend is looking for a place. Her name is Clare." Alli kept talking to the guy on the phone and Clare was waving her arms around trying to get Alli's attention.

"Can you hold on for a second?" Alli asked the guy. "What Clare?" She said to her friend, slightly annoyed.

"Alli! You can't just set this up! They could be dangerous!" Clare said, trying to reason with her friend.

Alli rolled her eyes and went back to talking to the guy on the phone. "What did you say your name was?" She asked him. "Eli. Okay, well I just wanted to double check that you and your roommates aren't, like, murders or something. No? Okay, great! Well Clare will be by for the interview in ten! See ya!" Alli hung up the phone, grinning at Clare. "See! They aren't murderers!"

"Alli! They wouldn't tell you if they were! Of course they're going to say no!"

"Oh, come on Clare. You need a place to stay and this guy seems great, so I bet his roommates are too. Just go check it out and I'll wait outside for you. Keep your murderer radar on if you're that paranoid."

"Ugh! Fine! Let's go."

"Eeeep! Clare! Look at this place! It's so snazzy!" Alli exclaimed with excitement as she and Clare pulled up to the apartment complex.

"Calm down, Alli! It's just a building."

"Oh, whatever. You know it's nice! Now get your ass inside!"

Clare left Alli behind in her car and went up to the buzzing system. She pressed the numbers that, Eli, was it, gave to Alli.

"Hello?" A male voice answered.

"Um, hi. I'm Clare. I'm here to check out the apartment." Clare replied.

"Oh, great. I'll buzz you in. It's number 3C." He said as he buzzed her in.

Clare walked up to the third floor and knocked on apartment number 3C. A very attractive guy with dark brown hair and the most gorgeous pair of green eyes Clare had ever seen answered the door.

"You must be Clare!" He said with a smirk. "I'm Eli. I spoke to your friend on the phone. Come on in."

She smiled in return as he led her over to the couch where two other guys were sitting. One was wearing a beanie and had light brown hair and blue eyes, while the other was quite tanned and had brown hair and brown eyes.

"This is Adam," Eli said as he pointed to the guy wearing the beanie. "And this is Drew," he said pointing to the tanned guy.

"Hi. I'm Clare." Clare replied with a smile.

"Damn dudes! Look how hot she is!" Drew replied as he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at her.

"Oh my God! Drew! Twenty bucks, douchebag jar, now!" Eli exclaimed to Drew.

"I'm so sorry," Adam said to her as Drew fished twenty dollars out of his pocket and put it into the jar with a frown. "This knucklehead over here can't remember how he was raised. We keep the douchebag jar for him to put money in whenever he gets out of line, which, let's be honest, is quite often."

Clare giggled at their little system as Eli smacked Drew on the back of the head.

"So, Clare," Eli stated, "tell us about yourself."

"Okay," she began. "Well, I'm eighteen. I'm socially awkward, but I'm working on it. I'm a Christian, but I'm not crazy religious so I'm not going to try and convert you guys or anything. I'm about to start my second semester at Ryerson University in the English program, and obviously, I'm looking for a place to live," she said with a giggle.

"No offense," Adam said, "but why don't you just live on campus?"

"Oh, I missed the deadline. I was going to live with my friend Alli but she's a model and lives in a strictly 'models only' flat." Clare explained.

"Model? You're friends with a model?" Drew exclaimed, his eyes bugging out of his head.

"Models, yeah. All of my friends are models." Clare replied.

"Oh my God. You are in. Welcome to our, well now your, home!" Drew exclaimed, bringing her into a hug.

"Um, are you sure? You didn't even discuss it with your roommates." Clare said.

"Oh it's fine! Right guys?" Drew asked, giving Eli and Adam the death glare.

Eli and Adam talked amongst themselves for a minute.

"Welcome to the misfit family, Clare!" Adam exclaimed with a smile.

"Misfit? Oh, is that your last name?" Clare asked, confused.

"No," Adam said with a laugh, "none of us are related. We just call ourselves the misfits."

"Oh, okay. Well, um, as much as I want to live here, I don't really know…" Clare began, but was cut off by Eli.

"You don't really know us and are worried that we're going to murder you in your sleep?" He said with a smirk.

"Um, kinda." Clare replied as the boys laughed at her. "Hey! It's a normal fear!"

"Sure, Clare. But don't worry. We're not murderers. I know, us saying we're not murderers probably won't make you believe us, but look at our faces. Do these faces look like the faces of evil, murderous people?" Adam asked as he and Eli smiled. Drew, however, was making a creepy face. "Oh my God!" Adam said. "Don't look at Drew. Eli and I don't have the faces of murderers. Drew's harmless too, he's just naturally creepy." Clare laughed at this.

"Okay fine. Maybe you aren't murderers. But I still don't know anything about you guys!" Clare exclaimed.

"Well, I'm Eli, obviously. I'm nineteen and I go to Ryerson for English as well. Looks like we'll be having some classes together." Clare couldn't help but blush at that fact. "I love Dead Hand and comic books, my parents are...eccentric, and I'm an only child. Adam, you're up."

"Well, you already know I'm Adam." Adam said as he began stuttering. "Shit, sorry. Dude, why'd you have to put me on the spot like that? You know I'm terrible under pressure. Ugh. Anyways, I'm eighteen. I also go to Ryerson but not for English. That's lame, sorry guys. I go for film. I also love the band Dead Hand and comic books, so be prepared for Eli and I to geek out. My mom's a crazy bitch and I hate her. Drew!"

"Well, gorgeous. As you know, I'm Drew. I'm nineteen and also go to Ryerson. I hate it there. I only go because I have a football scholarship. I'm not a nerd, so I don't read comic books, or, any books for that matter. Did I mention I play football?"

"Okay then." Clare said. "Well, I guess that's enough information for now, but I'm expecting more later."

"So...do we have a new hot roommate who's friends with tons of hot models?" Drew asked with hope in his voice.

Eli pointed to the jar and Drew sighed as he deposited a five-dollar bill.

Despite the fact that Clare could practically hear her mother screaming for her to run away from the apartment complex and never look back, she couldn't help but trust them. "Oh, what the hell! I'm in!" Clare replied with a smile as the guys engulfed her in a hug.

"Booyah!" Adam exclaimed.

"Booyah?" Clare asked through laughter.

"It's his thing," Eli said. "Weird, but hey, that's Adam."

"So Clare," Drew began, "I remember you mentioned that you find yourself socially awkward. The guys and I can help you with that."

"Really?" Clare asked happily.

"Yep. If, you introduce us, well, more importantly, me, to your hot model friends." Drew replied.

Clare started laughing. "Okay. I'm sure Alli, Fiona, Bianca, and Katie would be thrilled to meet you. All of you."

"Booyah!" Adam exclaimed happily.

"We have some friends that would love to meet you, too." Eli said with a smirk.
