I do not own Degrassi. If I did Declan and Holly J would still be dating and she would NOT be with Sav.
I wrote this while listening to a combo playlist of angry emo/alternative rock and Miranda Cosgrove/Carrie Underwood. Its not really based on those but maybe influenced by it.

I do not believe in slavery so I, obviously, don't Miranda or Carrie.

Hope you like it. If you don't: kiss my a$$. Don't leave mean comments!

Claire's POV.

Eli. Eli's eyes. Eli's lips. Eli's smirk. Eli. Eli. Eli. "Claire. Claire. Claire!" "Eli!" "Claire! Where are you?" I'm running through a fun house looking for Eli. I cant find him. I head a yell of pair and then I see a glint of metal. Eli! "Eli where are you?" "Claire…Claire…Claire!" "Eli?" "Claire!"

Thank god, it was just a dream…more like a nightmare. "Hi, Mom." "Good Morning, sweetie." Mom kissed my head and left the room. I got up and, still in my PJ's, logged onto AIM. While checking my e-mail, I got a message.

Eli-g0498: Hey, Blue Eyes.

Claire-e2690: Don't you ever sleep, Eli?

Eli-g0498: "Hi, Eli. How are you?" How hard is that?

Claire-e2690: Hi, Eli. How are you? Happy?

Eli-g0498: Yes.

Claire-e2690: What are you doing up so early? You have a car.

Eli-g0498: I like getting up early so I can relax in the morning.

Claire-e2690: Oh. Did you pick the book for the English assignment, yet?

Eli-g0498: What English assignment?

Claire-e2690: Eli! The one we're working on together? The one worth half our grade! Don't tell me you forgot!

Eli-g0498: I'm just kidding, Claire. Yeah, I picked one. The Davinci Code.

Clair-e2690: Eli, please tell me your kidding. I cant read that book. I'm Christian.

Eli-g0498: Okay. We'll talk about this at school. I haven't even read it. I'm hungry.

Claire-e2690: Me too. See you at school, Eli. Actually, can you pick me up? We can get a bite to eat at The Dot.

Eli-g0498: Yeah. Cool. I'll be there in 20 minutes. Is that cool?

Claire-e2690: Yeah. Great. See you, soon.

Eli-g0498: Bye, Claire.

I then got a message from AIM that told me that Eli had logged off. I quickly saved the IM convo so that I could use it for inspiration for my next fanfic. Then I called Ali.

"Hello?" my groggy best friend answered. I think I woke her up. Ooops. "Hi, Ali.

Its me- " She cut me off. "Claire. Why in the world are you calling me at 6 in the AM?" "Eli's picking me up and taking me to breakfast at The Dot!" I squealed. I could just imagine Ali shooting up in bed. "Oh My God! Okay, when?" "In 20 minutes?" I said it as a question because Ali would now tell me exactly what to do. "Okay, don't take a shower. Just wash your face, put on deodorant and wear perfume. But use the matching deodorant, facial wash and perfume I gave you! Now wear some of Darcy's old clothes. Go with a dark pair of either jeggings or power skinnies. For the top, go with a tunic top or screened graphic tee. I suggest the tee. Now for shoes go with either a cool pair of converse if you go with the tee or a pair of dark metallic flats if you go with the tunic. So I just gave you two outfits. Jeggings with a tunic top and flats or power skinnies with a graphic tee and converse. Go with the latter this time and then when he asks you out go with the former. For your hair curl it and straighten your bangs. Got it? Now I'm going to try and go back to sleep. Good Luck Claire." With that she hung up. I went with her suggestion and wore a pair of black power skinnies with a cool graphic tee and my checkerboard converse. I curled my hair and straightened my bangs and just as I was putting the hairspray on my text ringtone for Eli rang. I checked it and it said "I'm outside in Morty." I replied, "Ok."

"Bye, Mom." "Where are you going?" "To the Dot with Ali and Sav. He's driving us. So that we can have breakfast and talk about our English project." "Do you need money?" "Nope, I'm good. See you later." I shut the door behind me and ran. Then I hopped in Morty. Straightened my clothes and fixed my hair, completely oblivious to Eli. He cleared his throat. I jumped in my seat and he stifled a chuckle as he smirked.

Eli's POV

"Hey!" She laughed as she play hit me. "Ouch!" I said in my charmingly sarcastic way, clutching my arm. She giggled in this perfect way. I looked at her. She's so beautiful. The most beautiful girl I had ever known. Her bright blue eyes locked with my green one for what seemed like forever. I smiled and she looked down and blushed. I could tell she was getting nervous and this was getting awkward so I wasn't surprised when she changed to subject. I was actually amused. "So are we going to The Dot?" She asked, hope evident in her voice. I smirked. "No," I said it simply.

Clare's POV

Wow this is so awkward. I wonder if he can tell. Am I blushing? Oh my gosh. This is the longest anyone has not talked ever. SAY SOMETHING!

"So are we going to The Dot?" I said, as hopeful as I could be. Now as along as I've known Eli, I knew he was pretty unpredictable, but this I did NOT expect. He smirked. "No," he said it so simply. I was shocked that I didn't notice when he started talking again. "I've got something different planned for today," his smirk spreading into a grin.

Oh gosh. Whenever Elijah Goldsworthy has a plan it involves ditching.
