The Loverboy who could

(Clare's POV)

"Clare…Clare…are you listening?" I heard Adam say, Adam is one of my close friends and he is a FTM, female-to-male transgender I've always been okay with it. You are who you are. As I snapped back to reality I realized I was drooling all over my homework, but his eyes just mesmerized me. Elijah Goldsworthy, he was the new kid that came to Degrassi. We were working on an English assignment for Ms. Dawes. She chose our partners; I had been paired up with Elijah. I acted like I didn't like the idea but in my mind I was freaking out.

(Eli's POV)

I had been paired up with Clare for this English assignment. I acted like I was against the idea but I was flipping out on the inside. I liked Clare I just think she wouldn't go for a guy like me. A guy like me is; always being teased for wearing black and being "EMO". Just as we were leaving English I bumped into Clare and dropped her books, I left without helping her pick up her books. I wanted to keep my bad boy reputation, so I just left.

(Clare's POV)

What an asshole I thought to myself as he walked past me not even bothering to help me pick up my books. But I couldn't help the way I felt so I just let it go. The next week I had enough of Eli's teasing so after school I went to his housing to ask him why he was so mean to me.

(Eli's POV)

"Clare what are you doing here?" I asked upon seeing that Clare was on my front step. She had asked me why I was always teasing her. I just stayed quiet, I didn't want to tell her how I felt about her, because I thought she might reject me. I didn't want to feel like I did with Julia.

Flashback ends

(Clare's POV)

"Why are you always teasing me?" I asked as Eli opened the door. He didn't answer me until two minutes later, bringing me into a long passionate kiss. As we were kissing, our tongues were fighting for dominance. He won of course. After that long kiss I asked him "what was that for?" He said "I've been wanting to do that for a while now and I like you."

(Eli's POV)

After two minutes of just staring at Clare I kissed her, I actually kissed her. I told her I had been waiting a long time to do that and that I like her. I brought her up to my room I asked her if she wanted to be my girlfriend, right on the spot. She said"…..
