As I look in the mirror. I cant believe the person that is looking back at me. She has messy auburn colored hair, and wears all baggy clothes. She has sorrow and pain in her eyes. She is being eating alive by her own family. She is clare Edwards. The girl whos life has been turned upside down by just one month. Its been a month since she told eli shell give him some time, and that one month has been hell.

As she slowly made her way to school she couldn't help but remember how her life was before. She had the perfect life and perfect family. And now her sister was gone and her parents weren't any better.

Eli's pov

As I sat on the steps of degrassi I couldn't help but realize that Clare wasn't acting like herself. She used to be positive and always upbeat. She wore bright colors and skirts. Now shes always sad and she started to wear baggy clothes. Not that theres nothing bad with that, but something off and im going to find out.

I was knocked out of my imagination when Adam showed up.

"hey dude" he said. Sitting next to me.

"whats up" I answered looking up and saw Clare walking to school. Her head was low and she looked depressed.

"bye dude" Adam said standing up. He saw the was I looked at Clare and that was disturbing to him.

Clare was making her way towards me and I stood up.

"hey blue eyes"

"hey" she said blank. She walked past me and into the school just as the bell rang.

I stood there watching her walk away from me. I was going to find out whats wrong with her and im going to right now.
