Summary: Eli Goldsworthy, a narcissistic son of a billionaire, has his life quickly going down a spiral. After being expelled from private school he ends up in Degrassi and on the bottom of the food chain. Luckily he's not alone. ELCLARE
T for Language!
As the Herse pulled into the public school's parking lot, the only word Eli Goldsworthy could think of was: Fuck.
He took a quick glance at the mirror. His dark ebony tresses were styled just the way he liked it and his displeased forest green eyes glinted with annoyance. He flashed a smile at his attractive looking reflection. As much as he would already hated his life here, he might as bang some girls here. He turned off the engine and stepped out of his car and onto dried out leaves before looking at the building before him. Here he will spend the next two years of his life. He scoffed, he simply couldn't believe it.
He was Eli Fucking Goldsworthy. Only son of the world famous radio speaker Bullfrog Goldsworthy. Heir to the Goldsworthy fortune. And a good looking bastard. And Eli Goldsworthy doesn't go to public school.
He was too good to be here and he knew it.
The double doors of Degrassi swung open roughly as he entered the halls. All eyes turned to him and he began to smirk his signature smirk. All eyes on him, just how he liked it. He delved both hands into his pockets and began to walk the halls as if he had owned it for years.
A group of girls whispered with a smile as he walked passed them. He gave them a quick wink and flashed his pearly whites. As he strutted down, all of the girl's eyes were glued onto him. The guys looked at him from head to toe and didn't know what was so fascinating about him. He seemed like a prick, little did they know, he was.
The whispers from other people could easily be heard behind him. Eli smiled, he knew he didn't have to break a sweat to get the attention of everyone from school. He laughed to himself as he turned the corner only to collide into an unknowing perfectionist.
Books and papers scattered across the floor and Clare gasped. She quickly knelt down to pick them up. She brought a blond curl behind her ear as she picked up her literature textbook.
"Sorry!" She said while hastily gathering them into a small messy pile.
Eli simply looked at her, not even bothering to pick them up. It wasn't his fault anyways.
When Clare stood up she excused herself and quickly went to her first period class. She didn't have time to care about the new student or whoever he was. She was late.
Eli turned as he watched Clare walked away, pondering why she didn't gawk at him like the others. He frowned slightly but pushed it to the back of his mind. There were so many hotter girls than her, why bother? A scoff escaped his lips and he pushed his hands back into his pockets and made his way to the office.
Clare Edwards had made it to her class two minutes earlier before the bell. Of course she wasn't actually late for class, she wouldn't allow it. She was always honest, punctual, hardworking, and a perfectionist. Being late would drive her absolutely mad.
"Ms. Dawes, I just had a question about the assignment you gave us last week. I was wondering if you would approve my topic?" Clare asked as she walked over with the papers in her hand.
Ms. Dawes quickly scanned it before nodded. "It's a great idea. You should go for it. Knowing you it'll end well." She smiled as she handed back the papers.
Clare beamed before she sat down in the second row of class, a seat away from the window. After a few seconds students began to pour in. By the time the bell rung everyone was in their seats and there was only one seat left open, the one next to Clare.
The class had an odd number of student and Clare happened to be the one next to it, that and because many people had a tendency of avoiding her, not like she cared.
Her notebook and pencil were out and ready to take notes. Ms. Dawes began the lecture on William Golding's, Lord of the Flies. Ten minutes into class there was a knock on the door. All eyes turned to Mr. Simpson and Eli stepping into the class.
"Sorry to interrupt Ms. Dawes." Mr. Simpson said.
"No problem at all." She replied with a smile.
"I just wanted to show Eli Goldsworthy his first class. He's a new student."
Ms. Dawes smiled and nodded.
"Thanks, have a good first day Mr. Goldsworthy." With a nod and a wave the principal was out of the class.
Ms. Dawes clapped her hands and smiled at the new student. "Welcome Eli. This is Advanced English. I hope you enjoy your stay here in Degrassi. Now if you can just take a seat over there next to Clare." She pointed to the empty seat next the window. Eli gave her his signature smile before strutting over to the empty seat, both hands still in his pants. On the way he noticed the odd girl from before, the girl who showed no reaction to his looks.
The idea of her had bothered Eli back in the office when he was handed his schedule but in his mind he had already declared that she was lesbian. Therefore his stunningly great looks didn't make her swoon for him.
After all, no girl can refuse Eli Goldsworthy. It just wasn't logically possible.
Ms. Dawes quickly handed Eli a literature textbook, one he was familiar with since Clare dropped it. That was her name right? It didn't matter to him anyways, she was a lesbian. Then again, banging a lesbian would seem awesome.
As the lesson resumed, Eli stopped daydreaming and began to take notes, which shocked Clare.
She had expected him to snore in class or whip out an electric cigarette and start smoking puffs. After all, he really didn't resemble the studious type, especially with his leather jacket and black clothing, and that eyeliner. She looked at him oddly for just a moment before turning her full attention to Ms. Dawes.
"Class, I'm going to assign a mini project which I expect to be done and handed in before the end of class." Ms. Dawes said as she wrote on the board. "I want you and your partner to discuss the different kinds of power in the book."
A hand quickly shot up in the air.
"Yes?"
"Can we choose our partners, Ms. Dawes?" A female student asked.
"Not today. Last time I did that you guys were so loud I got a noise complaint from the room next door. So let's try something new, your partners will be the ones next to you."
The girl pouted before turning to her partner who was not Eli Goldsworthy.
Clare turned her direction to Eli and gave him an amiable smile. "Well, I guess we're partners Eli."
He slowly nodded at her, completely uninterested. He didn't want her as his partner, he wanted a hot chick, then again there aren't many hot chicks in honor classes.
She was disheartened by his reaction but pressed on. "My name's Clare Edwards, nice to meet you."
"Yeah. It was nice bumping into you at the hall."
Her lips formed an 'o' shape. "Oh! That was you?"
Eli was completely flabbergasted. They had met not even an hour ago and she hadn't even bothered to remember him. He opened his mouth to say something but quickly closed it. He wasn't even going to bother with her.
"Let's start our assignment then. For the powers, we could list tyrannical, spiritual, and—" Clare suggested as she quickly jotted them down in her spiral notebook.
"You know what Clare, I have a great idea." He said with a fake smile. "How about you do the work and I'll just put my name on it."
Her eyebrows furrowed together. "Um… how about no?" She retorted with a scowl. She had been used for her brains so many times in the past, it wasn't even funny.
"I'm just saying, this isn't my thing." He said blankly.
"Then why are you in an English Honor's class?" Clare mused.
"Let's just say I have an unknown talent when it comes to writing." He said with a mysterious smile.
She looked at him oddly before peeking a look at the clock. There wasn't much time to finish the assignment. She groaned as she picked up her pencil and started working alone. Eli smirked, he knew he could talk her into it.
As Clare worked diligently, Eli would mess around on his phone, text girls from his previous school, which he was expelled from. Whenever Ms. Dawes came along, he would feign that he was working just as hard as Clare.
Five minutes before the end of class Clare handed Ms. Dawes the project with her name and Eli's name, to her disapproval on the back. She praised the two for working so well.
A minute before class ended and all of the assignments were collected, Ms. Dawes made an announcement.
"You guys all worked so well that I've decided to keep it like that. From now until the end of the year, these are your permanent partners."
There was a wave of groans and yay's but Ms. Dawes didn't care one bit. The last thing she wanted was a rowdy class, especially with all of the drama Degrassi goes through every year.
Clare on the other hand cared, a whole lot. Of all days to pick permanent partners, it had to be on the day she was paired with Eli. It was nearly the end of October. Why now!
The bell rang and everyone gathered their things and began to exit the class one by one. As Clare stood up, Eli smiled at her. "Looking forward to working with you, Edwards."
She narrowed her blue eyes before giving him a sarcastic grin. "Can't say I feel the same." And with that she stomped out of the class. Eli silently watched her leave with a sly grin. Looks like English is going to be an easy class.
He pocketed his only pencil and carried the textbook out of the classroom.
I realized after I thought of this story, there was already the new character Miles Hollingsworth III who has a similar background story to Eli. But I promise they are not going to be the same character, at least I hope not, since we don't know his planned story line.
This is my first Degrassi story even though I've been a fan of the show for nearly two years. This is just a start of a planned long story. It's going to be in two parts, I might write the second part, depending on the reception of the first part.
Entertainment is based off a song which I will keep a secret for now. You probably won't be able to guess it until near the end of the story.
Please leave a review, I'd love to read your feed back, especially since it's my first Degrassi story Thanks!
