HEY GUYS, THIS IS MY SECOND STORY, AND I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT. THIS IS WHAT I THINK WILL HAPPEN AT THE LOCKER SCENE. (WHERE ELI IS FREAKING OUT)

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN DEGRASSI IN ANY WAY, BUT I WISH I DID. (:

CLARE'S P.O.V

I was walking to school deep in thought. It seemed like that's all I did lately. THINK. I was thinking about my parents, my new home, and Eli. My life has changed so drastically in a blink of an eye, and it scares me.

My Parents

I can't believe it's actually happening. My parents are actually getting separated because of me, or so I thought. They say it isn't my fault, but that they were to "different." That they were always different, but hoped they would fit together. It reminds me of my relationship with Eli.

Eli

He says opposites attract, but I say that doesn't matter. Love sucks. All you do is get married, make love, have kids, and get divorced. That isn't love, it's a complication. I've come to the conclusion that love doesn't exist, but with Eli I feel like there's an exception. I think I'm falling for him. I may even love him, and always will even if he doesn't love me back.

I was finally at the Degrassi parking lot. I made my way across, and towards the doors of the school. The hallways were cold and empty since I was early. I went to my locker and put in my combination. I grabbed my books, and made my way to Jesus club. I entered the classroom, and saw that they had started without me. I smiled at Luke, and made my way to my seat in the inner circle.

"Clare," Luke started, "we were just discussing about unnecessary stuff."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"We are cleaning out our lockers today. To start of fresh. Do you need help with yours?" Luke asked.

That gave me a great idea. Eli's locker did seem pretty messy yesterday. Maybe I can clean it up for him, and he won't hate me anymore.

"Actually," I started, "My boyfriend, Eli, needs his locker cleaned out. Can you help me with his?"

"Of course, Clare, Anything for you", He smiled.

We went to Eli's locker, and I put in the combination. 17-23-48. I opened his locker, and immediately saw the picture of me and him at the Dot on our first date. I smiled, and started cleaning his stuff. I got to the bottom of the locker when I saw it. A picture of her. She had long, curly black hair with green eyes, and freckles across her face. Needless to say she was beautiful, and I was trash compared to her. I got her picture and some more papers and threw them away in the trash. Luke and I finished cleaning, and got ready for 1st period. I went to my locker to meet up with Eli for English. As I waited I kept thinking about how much he loved Julia. How he slept with her when she was fragile. Has he changed? Will he pressure me? I saw him turn the corner, and make his way over to his locker. I smiled at him, but he ignored me.

"Hey, Eli. Look I'm sorry about yesterday. Please forgive me!" I said.

"Clare," he started, "I should be the one apologizing not you. I was a jerk yesterday, and I'm sorry"

"Wow, Eli Goldsworthy is actually apologizing to someone," I teased and leaned in to give him a gentle kiss. We pulled back, and he opened his locker.

"Clare, where is my stuff?" he asked, freaking out a little bit.

"I thought it would be nice to clean your locker beca-"

"Clare!" he interrupted, "Where is my stuff!" He screamed.

"In the t- trash," I stuttered.

He closed his locker and ran towards the trash. He opened the top, and was going through everything. What was going on? I ran over to him and said, "Eli, Eli. You have to calm down!"

He turned towards me, eyes wide, and veins popping out scaring me half to death.

"I can't believe this!" He screamed at me, "Clare, you can't just go around cleaning people's locker!"

"I was just trying to help!" I was starting to get angry. "This is about Julia, isn't it?"

He sighed, "Clare…"

"Eli, what aren't you telling me?" I asked.

"Met me by my locker after school. I have something important to tell you."

I nodded, and went to my class hoping school would end soon. I wanted to know what he was going to say. NO... needed to know. I guess I'll have to wait until after school.
