I do not own anything but the idea because if I owned DeGrassi Owen would still be on it.

Each story is its own universe; they are not related in any way. Most stories are told entirely from Clare's pov except for Man Behind the Badge which is told in Spinner's pov, The Soldier which is told in Sean's pov, Not with My Best Friend You Don't which is told from Adam's pov and Vampiric Vagary which is told from both Drew and Clare's pov but both are labeled.

Please do enjoy this collection of fluff and smut beginning with some fluff and Clare/Maya/Bianca friendship.

Beat them with a Kiss

"How can he be so horribly irritating and yet I still want him to kiss me or even look at me!" Maya complains.

"At least only one guy is avoiding you. I'm over Eli, very much over Eli, but no other guy at this school will even think about asking me out! They all think I'm still hung up on him!" I say in exasperation.

It was lunch and we were eating together in the garden griping about boys. Maya was griping about one boy in particular who went by the name of Zig Novak. Ever since Cam's death a couple of months ago Zig, who did like her, was avoiding her so much he'd hardly look at her. As for me, the whole school seemed to think I was still pining after Eli but I wasn't. He had broken my heart for the last time and I was over it within a couple of weeks but anytime I tried to get a guy to ask me out he would say he didn't want to be a rebound.

"Boys suck! All except the gay ones. Too bad Tris has no interest in either of us," Maya remarks and I have to smile.

"And they're dumb very dumb! How am I ever going to convince the male population of this school that I am over Eli and ready to date again?" I exclaim.

"You know there is one easy solution to both your problems," Bianca says appearing in front of us suddenly and making the both of us jump.

"What's that?" I ask the older girl with the raven curls.

"Kiss," she replies simply.

Maya and I both exchange a look and then look at Bianca like she's insane.

"I'm not a lesbian. I want to get the attention of the guys in this school, not date Maya," I assert.

"Yeah and I just want Zig to look at me," Maya adds.

"I know and I didn't mean kiss now. Tomorrow at lunch it's supposed to rain and everyone will be eating in the caf or most everyone anyway. If you two kiss, even a quick kiss, in front of most of the school it will solve both your problems. I guarantee it will catch the attention of Zig and every other male horn dog in this school," Bianca tells us.

"I guess it's worth a try," Maya says slowly.

"Well it can't hurt," I shrug.

"Trust me it will work. 90% of guys, especially teenage guys, get turned on at the sight of two girls kissing. God knows why but they do, once the blood leaves their brain for their other head they won't be thinking anymore. And I know just how you should do it too," Bianca says sitting with us, putting an arm around each of us and leaning in close so we could scheme in private.

I have to admit Bianca's plan was actually pretty brilliant and when it came to what guys like I had to admit, Bianca was the expert. Maya and I were smiling by the time she was done and while we were a little nervous about kissing, we were looking forward to tomorrow. I knew if I thought about it too much then I would over analyze and back out, so I put it out of my mind until the next day.

It was raining today, just as Bianca said it would, and at lunch time nearly the whole school migrated to the caf. Maya and I met Bianca just outside ten minutes after the bell so we could be sure it would be packed.

"Okay, I just peeked in and it's packed, the Ice Hounds are in there eating with Drew. Zig and his friends are at a table and Adam, Connor and Dave are at a table in the middle. Eli's in there too eating with Imogen and Fiona. You ready to do this?" She asks me.

"Yeah, just come in on your cue," I tell Maya and she nods.

Bianca and I adopt angry expressions so we can walk into the caf faking an argument. Bianca throws open the caf door with such force that it attracts the attention of the first few tables.

"Face it Edwards, you are not over Eli. You will be hung up on that dramatic emo boy forever," Bianca says in a haughty tone and does it so well I almost forget that this argument is fake.

"Uh oh," I hear Drew say from his seat at the Ice Hounds table.

"Awesome it's a cat fight!" Exclaims another Ice Hound.

"Think we should break it up before they kill each other?" Owen asks.

"I am over Eli! I was over Eli weeks ago! I couldn't be more over Eli. I am so over him, and to prove it I'll kiss the next person that walks through that door!" I proclaim.

The whole caf goes silent and from the corner of my eye I see everyone look at the door expectantly. Of course I know who's coming through the door because that was Maya's cue. She walks in, the entire caf gasps audibly, I walk over to Maya put my hands on Maya's shoulders and place my lips on hers. It's so quiet I can hear people breathing, our mouths stay closed but we hold the kiss long enough that people start to come out of their shock. Then our lips part and Maya and I exchange a satisfied grin.

"I told you I was over Eli," I say the words while looking at Bianca but I'm really saying them to everyone else.

"Gee, guess you showed me," she smiles and gives me a wink.

She saunters off to the Ice Hounds table setting herself into the lap of her shocked fiancé and I look out over the shocked faces in the caf. Zig jumps out of his seat and runs over to Maya taking her hand, guess it worked for her.

"Maya you should eat with us, that was, uh… you doing something this weekend? Maybe we could go to the movies or something," Zig asks her and she looks back at me with a happy smile.

"I'd love to go to the movies Zig," she says.

Adam, Connor and Dave keep blinking at me like I was replaced by a pod person. Eli probably has the best expression, somewhere between utter shock, anger and a carnal curiosity. Everyone else is just staring at me and I look at Bianca, she moves her fingers motioning that I should start to leave. I turn around taking a couple steps to the door and then I hear the scraping of several chairs against the linoleum floor.

"Clare wait, you want to come to the game on Friday?" Luke's voice calls after me.

"How about dinner tonight?" Owen asks reaching my side.

"Buy you lunch?" Offers Julian.

I reach the door and look back at Eli who's still gaping at me in astonishment.

"You don't win this time Eli because my heart is no longer broken and my social calendar just filled up. I will have to thank Bianca for this suggestion, who knew one little kiss could do so much?"
