Clare's P.O.V.
I walked into Degrassi Monday morning. It was raining out and the sky was almost pitch black. The wind blew a little bit, and students walked up the steps with umbrella's hanging over their faces. Rainy days were always so boring. The teacher's weren't too happy, so they would give us tons of homework. But I didn't care if it was a rainy day or not. I was only happy because I was able to see my boyfriend, Eli Goldsworthy, and my best friend Adam Torres.
I walked to my locker and opened it. I grabbed my stuff for first period and turned around to see Adam standing there. I jumped up and clutched my stuff.
"Someone is jumpy," Adam said. I rolled my eyes.
"Haha, very funny," I said. Adam laughed and then jumped when Eli slammed a hand on his back. "Karma is painful."
"Okay, we're even now, Clare," Adam said. Eli's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, but shrugged it off. He walked towards me more and pressed his lips against mine. Adam cleared his throat. "Get a room."
"Shut up, Adam," Eli said. Adam laughed. His face looked serious when Eli playfully put a fist up. Adam laughed weakly then walked away fast.
"Hi," I said, still catching my breath from the kiss. He smirked, and I forgot all about breathing.
"Hello, Blue Eyes." I blushed at the nickname. My big blue eyes lead him to calling me Blue Eyes. "How is everything?"
"Good. I'm, um, going to my… mom's house tonight," I said shakily. I still wasn't use to all of this divorce stuff, but it was getting better.
Eli looked down at me with his emerald green eyes. He gave me his signature smirk and I smiled right back. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it. Just looking at him gave me goose bumps. I was still in shock that he still wanted to be with me after all that we had been through.
The bell rang for class. Eli let go of my hand and I walked to my homeroom.
When homeroom finished, I walked to my first class, which was math. Math was easy for me, but sometimes it just really bored me. Then after Math, I went to gym. Gym was awkward. Jenna and Alli were always together, laughing and having the time of their lives.
I walked inside the gymnasium and sat down on the bleachers. Alli looked towards me, then walked over to Jenna. I sighed. Would this feud between us ever stop? I wanted my best friend back. I needed a girl to talk to. I needed my best friend back.
Jenna started walking towards me and I shifted the other way. She tapped my shoulder.
"What?" I asked sourly.
"Clare-bear, your still not mad at me, are you?" She asked. I cringed at the nickname. It sickened me how she pretended to be so nice, and then the next minute, she stabs me in the back.
"What do you think?" I asked. Jenna shook her head.
"Just to let you know, it wasn't my fault K.C. broke up with you. You were just too boring."
At lunch, I sat with Eli and Adam, like I usually did. Eli and Adam discussed comic books, while I sat there, playing with my food. Alli and Jenna walked past us, bursting into laughter as they glanced at us. Adam turned around and stood up.
"Adam!" Eli said, dragging Adam back in his chair. Adam sat down unwillingly with his arms folded across his chest.
"There is no reason for violence," I said gently. Adam rolled his eyes.
"It doesn't bother you how Alli just left you for Jenna?" Adam asked. I looked down at my food and sat down lower in my chair. "Sorry, that was uncalled for."
"It's fine. Your right, it does bother me. But I cant let it control my life."
"That's the spirit, Clare!" Eli said, sitting back down next to me. I smiled and he smirked back.
The bell rang, and we all exited the lunchroom.
I walked into my English class and took my seat behind Eli. He turned around, and then Adam walked in. We greeted each other, and then sat quietly when Ms. Dawes walked in. She wrote on the board 'memoirs' and started the lesson. We had to write a memoir on the hardest time in our life, and right away I knew I wanted to write about my parents.
My mom lived in a 2 bedroom apartment on the other side of town, and my dad still lived in the same house. It was so weird going back and forth all the time. And whenever my parents came together, it was super awkward. I really wished they were together, but I knew it would probably never happen.
The bell rang and I got up. Eli grabbed my hand and he, Adam, and I walked to my locker. I grabbed my homework and I faced Adam and Eli. Fitz then walked past us and started to laugh. He pushed past Adam and Eli.
"Hey, emo. Tranny," Fitz said, motioning to each of them. Bianca and Owen started to laugh and Eli just kept glaring at him.
"Go away, Fitz," Eli said sternly. Fitz and Bianca busted into laughter.
"Go away, Fitz!" Bianca said in a girly tone. They high fived and they all walked away. Eli and Adam shook their heads.
"Such idiots," Eli said. Adam nodded and we walked outside.
We waved to Adam, and he waved back. I got into Morty, Eli's Hearse, and Eli started to drive. Rain pelted the car and Eli parked Morty on the side of the road. We made a run for it, trying not to get too wet. But of course, that failed. When we got inside, we were drenched in rain.
I looked at the mail that sat on the counter. I reached for the first one, that was from Kenya. I immediately opened the letter, ready to see when Darcy would be home. I read through the letter and dropped it.
"What?" Eli asked. He picked up the letter and began to read it. "Oh gosh, Clare." I shook my head and put my hand on my mouth to cover up the screams. My head started to spin and Eli took my hand. I grabbed the letter from him. It read:
Mr. and Mrs. Edwards,
We are sorry to inform you of this. Your daughter, Darcy Edwards, was coming home in the airplane to surprise you. But something happened and the plane crashed. There is no sight of Darcy. We are doing all we can to help bring your daughter home.
Sincerely,
The Save The Children Corporation in Kenya.
I collapsed to the ground and sobbed.
Author's Note:
I don't own Degrassi:(
Hope you liked the first chapter of Broken! The sequel to Falling Down.
Yay, Degrassi is BACK! Not going to lie, I was very happy when Alli finally left. But I felt bad for her. Did you guys see the promo where Clare was all like "I wanna spend the night with you." I was freaking out!
If you loved me, and this story, you would review:)
