Clare's POV
I just started Lake Hurst I can't believe my parents sold the house. I miss my Eli, we still date, but I'm still upset. It's the middle of the year and my parents decided to go their separate ways I swear they hate me.
I stood outside of my new school I miss Eli so much I could only think about him. We had taken pictures of ourselves I bought my favorite five with me. One of Eli and I kissing, one of Eli and I on a date, one of Eli standing behind me with his head on my shoulder and one arm around my waist, one of us in Morty laying in the back, and the other of both of us showing off our matching piercings, then there was a few of Eli, Adam, and I some were of us making faces at the camera, some were candid, and there was one of us being serious like in group photos where we all smiled looking at the camera.
Eli and I both cried when I cleaned out my locker at Degrassi. It was the first time I've ever seen Eli cry, Adam looked like he was going to cry too, but he held back the tears. I was just happy to remember that Eli's coming to get me after school I'm not sure if he's bringing Adam. I then held back the tears and walked inside.
There weren't any uniforms so it was ok I guess. I wore skinny jeans and a Dead Hand t-shirt Eli had given me, it smelt just like him. I then went to my locker, opened it, and took out some books, I wasn't ready to put up the pictures of Eli and I, I thought it'd be better to take them all to class.
"You must be new here" I heard a voice say
"Yea, I'm Clare" I looked over as I shut my locker
There stood a tall(about the same height as KC) guy with dark brown hair cut short with no bangs, a red t-shirt, and baggy blue jeans.
"I'm Matt" He said casually leaning against a locker "What's your first class I'll take you there?"
"It's Mr. Garret's Algebra class" I said
"That's my first class too, and after" he said as we started to walk
"Mrs. Dawson's English 3, then Chemistry, then lunch at noon, then History, if I don't skip by then."
"Skipping classes on your first day? And nice piercing."
"Thank you I just got it done last week."
"Well we're here."
I took a seat in the middle of the class just like Eli and I used to. I tried so hard not to go through the pictures of us because I missed him so much. I kind of wish I did put them in my locker.
"Today kids we are going to open our books and work on page 35 numbers 1-10."
It didn't take me long to do the problems I was done within the ten minutes I was a few chapters a head of them. I then put my head down I still wasn't myself.
I had classes with Matt for my first and third classes he met me outside of all of them to make sure I got to my next one on time, we have lunch together. He was nice and he was like a big brother.
Eli POV
Clare left school yesterday morning and we both cried. I tried not to cry in front of her, but when she hugged me, then kissed me the realization kicked in. I'm now walking the halls on my own.
"Eli you're moping" Adam said to me
"Sorry man, I just really miss Clare"
"So do I it's not the same without her here."
"I know, at least I have this bitchass piercing and pictures, plus I'm picking her up after school."
"Can I come with or do you two need your own time."
"Honestly Adam, I'm not sure if I'll make it though the day without her here, I mean I'll probably get a new English partner and I don't think I'll be able to handle it."
"So you're just going to skip English?"
"It's either that or break down, and I broke down yesterday I don't need that again."
"Yea dude, they sent you home."
"Well now to class."
I dreaded class, but it was the only time I could clear my head. I dreaded everything about school now I felt like half of me was missing. I needed Clare, just as much as or if not more than she needs me.
I couldn't even make it through to lunch I had to find Clare.
"Adam it's lunch Clare's at Lake Hurst I'm going to see her, wanna come?"
"Hell yea"
We then went drove off.
"So what if she has class now?"
"I get to see her for what 5 minutes, the point is I still get to see her"
"Ok, so how will we know where she is?"
"We'll just have to figure something out. Trust me we will see her"
When we got to Lake Hurst I noticed it was very different from Degrassi it didn't have basket ball courts from what I could see and the parking lot was small. I decided to park on the street because Morty would attract attention and I didn't need that.
When we got inside I noticed there were a few classrooms there were also double doors which marked the entrance and separated the cafeteria and library from other classes.
I noticed Clare walking with some guy and her head was down so I told Adam to hide behind the lockers.
Clare POV
"Clare, want to have lunch together so you're not alone, you've been walking with your head down just about all day, I don't know you too well, but that either means something's up or you just like looking at your shoes."
"Yea I like looking at my shoes" I said sarcastically.
"Clare!" I heard a familiar voice call
I looked up and seen Eli I couldn't even move I was so shocked.
"Do you know him?" I heard Matt ask
I was too speechless to reply. Matt nudged my shoulder to move, but it was like my feet were nailed to the floor.
Eli then ran up to me and I dropped my books. He picked me up and spun me around.
"Eli what are you doing here?"
"I missed you, I mean whenever I thought about you I would rub my ear and think back to when I asked why you had to pick out such painful piercings…"
"And I gave you hot sauce to take your mind off the pain." I giggled
"Oh I have a surprise for you and what class are you in?"
"Actually my lunch is this period, I wasn't aware that they let you out for lunch, so what's this surprise tattoos?" I said sarcastically
Just then I seen Adam come from behind the lockers.
"Clare!" he yelled coming over "Degrassi just isn't the same without you I can't deal with a moping Eli all day and be depressed at the same time."
"Oh Adam" I said hugging him
"So who's this guy?" Eli asked looking at Matt.
"Oh this is Matt he's a friend and in a few of my classes…well my first, third, and lunch, he made sure I didn't get lost going to them. Matt this is Eli and this is Adam." I said introducing them
"Hey man, thanks for taking care of Clare. I hope she wasn't too much trouble for you." Eli said as he still embraced me
"She wasn't any trouble and I just wanted to make sure she didn't get lost, but she just looked at her feet all day is that normal for her?" Matt asked
"No it's not" Adam said
Eli lifted my face up to look in my eyes. "You've been crying your eyes are all blood shot and red" he said seriously
"I just missed you Eli" I said holding onto his shirt "I missed you too Adam"
"We better go so we don't get in trouble by a teacher, Matt since you've taken care of Clare how about I treat you to lunch?" Eli said as he pulled away
"It's cool, but I'll tag along and pay for myself" Matt added.
"To the Dot?" I asked
"The Dot it is no complaints." Eli said
"How are we getting there and what's the Dot?" Matt said
"My car and it's a restaurant we like to eat at" Eli announced as we walked out of the school.
"Where did you park Morty?" I asked looking around the parking lot
"On the street I figured he'd attract too much attention and we don't need that."
"How would a car attract too much attention?" Matt asked
"Oh Morty is a hearse" I added Matt looked shocked.
"Guys no rainbow puke please when I'm with you" Adam added
"Adam you can just turn your head" Eli commented
"Just let me know when" Adam said as he ran up to Morty
"So you really drive a hearse?" Matt questioned noticing a hearse parked a few feet away
"What did you think Clare was kidding" Eli rolled his eyes
"Yes I did" Matt said
I giggled
"So what's rainbow puke?" Matt asked
"Dude, you'll find out soon enough trust me" Adam said
We stayed quiet and just walked Eli had his hand around my neck the whole time and my hand was around Eli's waist, then we got to Morty.
"Adam I can't wait any longer turn your head" Eli said
"Rainbow puke time" Adam said to Matt as he turned his head
Just then Eli pinned me up against Morty and gave me the most passionate kiss I have ever experienced. Matt cleared his throat "So that's rainbow puke…"
"We better go" Eli said
We all got inside I sat next to Eli and both Adam and Matt decided to lay in the back of Morty, then we drove off to the Dot.
"So I didn't know you have a boyfriend Clare" Matt announced
"You never asked."
Eli then turned the music down.
"Eli you kept your nails black?" I said looking down at his hand
"Oh, Clare you should know that Degrassi might be able to determine how I dress, but they can't determine how I look and it doesn't say I can't wear black nail polish in the handbook."
"Or guy liner for that matter" Adam added
"Wow Eli, and no one said anything?" I replied
"Tried to, but I pointed out that the handbook does not state that a guy can't wear nail polish or black under his eyes."
"So Eli, you wear guy liner and nail polish?" Matt asked
"Only black" Eli replied
"And you're ok with this Clare?" Matt asked
'I wouldn't have him any other way" I replied to him as I looked over at Eli with a small smile on my face
Just then we stopped at a red light and Eli grabbed my chin and turned his head, I felt his warm lips up against mine as he kissed me tenderly.
Just then I heard Adam "Rainbow puke guys"
I looked at Adam who was no longer laying down, but instead on his knees facing Eli and I.
"Adam aren't you supposed to be laying down or something?" Eli asked
"Dude aren't you supposed to be driving?" Adam finished.
"Red light Adam" Eli said
"Not anymore" Adam announced as Eli started to drive.
The rest of the way was quiet as we got to the Dot.
