"So Clare, want to play 20 questions?" inquired Eli, My annoying English partner that I'm hopelessly in love with. "Sure. Why not?" I said. "OK, I'll start. What is your favorite movie?" he asked. "Starting with the basics are we?" He smirked then nodded. "I'd have to say grownups or dinner for schmucks." I stated. "Nice, your turn." 'What is your favorite food?" "Pizza. Why do you write?" he questioned. "I write because when I do, I feel I can be anybody," he raised an eyebrow.

"Like on a bad day I write about something happy and pretend I'm there. When my heart was broken by K.C. I wrote about fairytales where the princesses always found their knight in shining armor." I sighed and finished explaining. "So you dated the big head jock K.C.?" I nodded. "Wow blue eyes, didn't think you'd go for a dumb jock." "He didn't always act dumb. He was in the gifted program too. He was really sweet and nice to me but then he went and cheated on me with my best friend, ex best friend, Jenna." I explained. He raised an eyebrow. "The pregnant cheerleader?" I nodded again.

"Yeah, karma's a bitch isn't it?" he gasped. "Did I just hear the school saint cuss?"

"Yeah yeah so sue me! Any way I believe it's my turn. Who's your favorite person at degrassi?" I asked.

He thought for a moment he said, "That's easy. My crush." My eyes widened, and I got curious. "So who is this crush of yours and what is she like?" "She's not thin but she's not fat. She's not too tall but not too short. She's very smart and organized and she has beautiful blue eyes." He said like it was the easiest thing to describe. I think he might be explaining me. I hope so. I don't know if he likes me but I sure as heck like him.

"She sounds nice." I say. "Oh she is. She's absolutely beautiful and I think I may have fallen in love with her she's perfect." He stated. My heart broke. She's perfect he said. That can't be me. I feel the tears welling in my eyes. "I think I should go." I said my voice barely audible.

I got up to leave and I started running towards my house letting the tears fall freely. I hear footsteps behind me. "Clare! Wait!" I heard Eli yell as he finally caught up with me. I stopped and turned around. "Eli I need to go. I…I really like you Eli I might even love you. But, you seem to love someone else so I'm just going to leave you alone." I say turning around to walk away.

I felt a hand on my shoulder. He turned me around and I was staring into his hypnotizing emerald eyes. "Clare, do you want to know who this girl I've fallen madly in love with?" I sigh and nod my head. "It's you Clare. I've loved you since I first saw you. I normally don't believe in love at first sight, but like usual, you proved me wrong. I love you Clare Diana Edwards!"

I looked up at him after he finished his speech. I stared at him for a minute with confusion in my eyes and hope and nervousness in his. "That can't be right. It can't be me. The girl you described sounded beautiful and perfect. I'm ugly and a mess." I started to cry again."

"Oh that's where you're wrong Clare," I looked at him confused, "you are the most gorgeous girl I've ever laid my eyes on. You make mistakes, so what! Everyone does. But you are perfect to me." I then did something I thought I'd never get to do. I kissed him with all the passion I've ever held. He was shocked at first but then relaxed into the kiss. He grazed his tongue on my lip begging for entrance and I happily obliged.

I pulled away first. "Eli that is the sweetest thing I've ever heard. I love you too Eli!" he smiled instead of smirked for once. He picked me up and gave me a quick peck on the lips. "So are we together?" I asked. He laughed."Of course. That is if you want to…" "Well duh I do!" I giggled, "So…do I get to see that smile more often?" he just laughed and kissed me. "I think I could get used to this." He smirked. I love 20 questions…
