Chapter One: The Beginning

Eli's POV:

She looks amazing, always does. Her beautiful brown curls shining in the sunlight as we lay in a field the three of us found. Adam nudged my arm to stop me from staring. He laughed and Clare gave him a confused glare but shook it off with a small giggle. Even the smallest of sounds that escaped her lips were cute.

This crush has been lasting since we first met at the age of twelve. I had moved to Degrassi because Bullfrog and Cece were given a job offer at a radio station and Clare had lived right across the street. My parents thought it would be nice to meet the neighbors so we stopped by to introduce ourselves and the moment I saw her big blue eyes, I was hooked. They were so intoxicating. As a twelve year old I didn't quite understand what had happened at the moment but it didn't bother me either. Clare had asked if we could hangout in her backyard and I agreed along with her parents. We spent the rest of the day getting to know one another and that's where the friendship begins.

Those feelings have never left me alone since that day but I can never get the nerve to tell her. Adam keeps bugging me to but what if she doesn't feel the same and what if I ruin this whole friendship? I couldn't handle that. So I will wait until the time is right and hopefully it will fall into place. I was interrupted by my thoughts by a loud sigh. I looked over at Clare with a curious look and she smiled her gorgeous smile.

"I think we should do something new today" She said looking up at the sky. I sat up and turned to face her. "Like?" I dragged out the question trying to get inside her brain. She shrugged her shoulders. "I'm not sure yet." She looked over at Adam. "Any ideas?" He looked up at her. "Hmm... How about we go skydiving?" He joked and I rolled my eyes.

Clare stood up. "I have a surprise." She said with a smile. "Oh no. Edwards and surprises? This has got to be good." I teased her with a smirk. "Haha. Very funny, Eli." She rolled her eyes to me with a smile. "But I promise you will like it." Adam stood up and I followed. "Just tell us Clare. You know you want to." Adam begged. She skipped across the field to my hearse, Morty. "I got us tickets." She turned to face us and I froze. "T-tickets?" I stuttered. "You can't mean to the Dead Hand concert tonight?" I asked completely shocked. She giggled as pulled out the three tickets from her back pack. "Oh But I do."

Clares POV:

I smiled big when I was Eli's face light up at the sight of the tickets. He's been talking about this concert for over five months and I knew I had to get the tickets. "No way." Was all he said as he ran up to me to get a closer look at them. I smirked. "Doubting my abilities, Goldsworthy?" I asked and he nodded his head. "A little. I've been trying to get these tickets for a month.. How?" He asked as he glared at me. I smiled and looked at him. "This Saint Clare has got her ways." I said before I flipped my hair a bit and turning to get into Morty.

Eli drove Adam home to get ready. I kept thinking about the way Eli was looking at me earlier. Then again, he seems to look at me like that a lot. I always shrug it off but I'm starting to feel something from it. I try shaking off my thoughts but part of me doesn't want to, until I was interrupted by Eli. "So blue eyes, tonight's going to be.. amazing." He smirked his one-of-a-kind smirk. That smirk was starting to have an effect on me. No Clare. Eli is just a friend. Stop. My mind of going off into different directions and I could tell Eli had something planned. But what?

We pulled into his driveway. "I'll be over at seven so we can leave, alright?" I more told him than asked him as we got out of Morty and he nodded. "See you then, Edwards." He smirked and I turned to walk to my home with my mind wondering what Eli had planned in his own mind.
