Hey guys its Kitkat. I thought I'd try writing a new story. I'm gonna take a little break on Degrassi In The Wild because I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it. Sorry. A few things:

1. Clare,Eli,and Jake are all best friends.

2. They all grew up together.

3. Julia,Fitz,and K.C haven't happened...Yet...

4. Clare and Eli are just friends EClare does not exist. Neither does Cake.

5. Alli,Adam,and Drew are also all their good friends.

6. Right now they are all in Middle school, Clare,Adam,Alli in 7th grade. Eli,Jake,Drew 8th. Degrassi is for middle school and high school. Okay I think thats it.

Disclamier: I don't nor will I ever own Degrassi. I really wish I did. :(

Eli's POV

"Baby boy wake up, it's time to get ready for your first day of 8th grade." Was the first thing I heard in the morning. I looked at the clock, 6:00am. Ugh! I wish I didn't have school today. Or at all really. I got up and hopped in the shower. Once I was done I got dressed in the usual 'Dead Hand' tee, a pair of black skinnies and black converse.

"Eli, Jake is here!" I heard Cece yell from down stairs. Jake, my best friend well other than Clare,Adam,Drew,Alli,and Bianca. Anyway, Jake and I met when we were 5 because he just moved next door to me. 2 years later Clare moved across the street and we became a trio of best friends. Jake and I were very overprotective of Clare for some reason I think it was because I liked, well like her. I walked down stairs and greeted Jake with our special hand shake.

"Hey man ready for 8th grade?" I asked.

"Yeah it's gonna be epic!" He said enthusiastically. I chuckled at him and nodded.

"Lets go get Clare." I said to him grabbing an apple and walking out the door with Jake following. We walked across the street and rang the door bell. A few minutes Alli answered the door and shreiked.

"Come in." She said smiling and motioning us inside. I looked at Jake confused, and back at Alli. I didn't see Clare.

"Where's Clare?" I asked. She smiled.

"She's still getting ready, I'll go help her." She said walking up the stairs. I looked at Jake confused. Clare always wore her uniform and was ready before anyone else. What was taking her so long? I heard a loud shreik and an 'Ow' from upstairs. Alli walked down stairs smiling widly. I was about to say somthing when she put her hand up and said.

"Wait for it." I looked at the stairs where she was pointing and saw Clare walk down I had to do a double take and if I was drinking somthing I would've spit it on Alli. Clare wasn't in her uniform she was in a jean skirt, a blue tank top, and black flats, and was she? She's wearing make up! I looked at Jake and his mouth was hung open as he stared at her.

"Wow." I heard Alli say looking at our reactions. Clare blushed and smiled.

"Um, How do I look?" She asked nervously.

"I like it." Jake said. Her pink cheeks were now very, very red.

"You look nice." I said blushing myself.

"Thanks." She whispered looking down walking next to Alli. We still had 10 minutes before we had to leave for school. The door bell rang and I answered it revealing Adam and Drew. They walked in but stopped when they say Clare. They had the same reaction Jake and I had.

"Woah." Adam said.

"I know right. Alli did you make her do this?" He asked looking at Alli. I met Drew in 6th grade when he transfered into my math class. We became good friends and from that I met Adam who I could talk about comic books with for hours. I met Alli through Clare they knew eachother from 5th grade, Alli was loud and annoying at first but I got used to it and she is one of my good friends. Adam and Alli both like eachother but are to scared to admit it. Drew had his eyes on Bianca when he came to school and he invited her to the winter semi formal and from that they became a couple and have been ever since.

"Yes she did, she slept over and threw my uniform out in the middle of the night." Clare said glaring at Alli.

"Good job Alli." Adam said laughing.

"We should get going." I said noticing the time and walking out the door. Jake and Drew led the way talking about how 8th grade is gonna be amazing. Adam and Alli took the middle talking about their summers and flirting as usual. While Clare and I took the back walking in comfortable silence. I think everyone knows I like Clare except Alli and well Clare.

"You really do look nice." I whispered in her ear. She smiled and blushed. Again.

"You don't look to bad yourself." She said giggling. Once we got to school we all stood outside watching all the little groups walking in. The 6 of us plus Bianca made our own group. We walked in and said our goodbyes. Clare and I had lockers near eachother so we walked together until homeroom.

"Well I should get to homeroom." Clare said smiling as she shut her locker. I hugged her and said 'Bye'. I walked to my homeroom and saw Drew and Bianca flirting. Drew turned to me and waved me over. I pulled up a chair and said hi to Bianca.

"So Eli, still crushing on Clare?" She asked. I looked at Drew who put his hands up in defense. "He didn't tell me it's just obvious." She said grinning.

"Oh, well yeah I am actually, but don't tell-"

"Anyone or you'll kill me, yeah I already know." She finished for me. I smirked as the bell rang signaling the start of 1st period. I walked to English class and smirked when Clare walked in. Even though she is in 7th grade she was always really smart and had a bunch of advanced classes. She smiled and sat behind me. I turned around and smirked at her.

"Nice to see you again." I said. She rolled her eyes and smiled. As our teacher Mrs. Stranger(1) walked in and began class.

"Hello class welcome to 8th grade advanced English. I'm Mrs. Stranger and I'll be your teacher for the year. I'm gonna try somthing different this year, you'll each have a partner who will edit all of your work throughout the year." She looked down and began asigning partners and I blanked out until I heard my name. "Goldsworthy and Edwards." And so on. I turned around and smirked at Clare who blushed and looked away. "Ok for your first asignment just write about yourself and have your partner edit it. It's due Thursday." She then went on to tell us what the rest of the year will be like. I just thought about how Clare was my partner which means more time together. I was brought out of my thoughts when the bell rang. I turned around and noticed Clare was already gone. This is gonna be an interesting year.

Adam's POV

Today was already a good day. Alli was in almost all my classes except Math because she's super and I mean super smart. We were even partners in English, could the day get any better? I walked into the cafeteria and saw Alli sitting alone she saw me and waved me over. I walked over to her and sat across from her.

"Hey partner." I said smiling.

"Hey." She said blushing.

"Where's Clare?" I asked looking around.

"She's in the lunch line." Alli said pointing to Clare who had just got lunch and was heading over. She sat next to me and smiled.

"Hey guys." She said. I waved and Alli smiled.

"So how was your English class?" Alli asked Clare.

"Good Eli is my partner." She said blushing.

"I knew you liked him!" I whisper yelled.

"What, no, I-"

"Clare we all know you do I think the only people who don't know are the 8th graders." She said refering to Eli,Jake,Drew,and Bianca.

"Well I don't know kinda I guess." She said. I knew Eli liked her too but I wasn't gonna tell him because they need to tell eachother when they are ready. Just like I have to with Alli. I think she may like me but I'm gonna wait until I'm ready.

"Adam and I are partners in our class." Alli said matter-of-factly blushing. I smiled and nodded. Clare looked at us both weirdly and smiled.

"Well this year is gonna be interesting." Clare said smiling. Yes, yes it is.

Okay so I'll leave it there let me know if you want me to continue. Again sorry about Degrassi In The Wild.

(1) It's not Mrs. Dawes because they are only in 8th grade English.
