"Clare, I saw him with another girl." Alli said depressingly as she followed her in the bathroom both taking their spots in the mirrors.

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Clare asked looking over at her best friend, pulling a curl behind her ear.

"Eli, I think he has a new girlfriend or something."

"Oh." She muttered looking down. "Why do you think that?"

"I saw him talking with some girl at his locker, laughing and talking and stuff."

She brushed off her jealousy, "That's great for him."

But Alli knew Clare better than that, she knew she despised the fact that he moved on so fast and every night she went home, she would cry and cry until she cried herself to sleep and Alli knew it was bothering her.

"Clare, I know you're not okay with it."

"Alli, its fine." She said shaking her head in denial.

"Clare, its oka-"

"Alli." She interrupted getting aggravated. "Drop it."

Alli held up her hands in defense, "It's dropped."

"Ready to go?" Alli asked so they can dismiss themselves from school. Clare nodded and they both threw their matching bags over their shoulders heading out the school building.

They began walking to The Dot and finally arrived. There was no other than Eli and probably the girl Alli had mentioned earlier with him sitting at the bench right in front of the Dot.

"He's right there." Alli whispered as they stood across the street.

"Alli, its fine. It doesn't kill me to see him with another girl." She fibbed. "I broke up with him remember? It's fine if he moved on."

Clare and Alli walked across the street when Eli made eye contact with her. Piercing green eyes striking with her blue orbs. She hid her face down and continued walking to the neighborhood hangout.

As soon as Clare opened the door to The Dot, a tall figure came colliding in with her small one spilling coffee on his red polo.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry." Clare apologized.

"Its fine, don't worry about it." The boy said wiping his shirt with a napkin as he threw his empty coffee cupin a garbage can.

"I'm really sorry, is there anything I can do? Do you want me to buy you another?" She asked trying to find an answer for this disaster she caused. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately. Causing disasters.

"It's totally fine. I'm good. You go to Degrassi?" He asked gesturing towards her Degrassi logoed shirt.

"Um yeah, I do and I'm assuming you do too?" She asked gesturing to his polo.

"Yup, new student.

"So I'm guessing I'll see you around?" She asked with a smile.

"I didn't catch you name." He said

"Clare." She bluntly responded.

He nodded, "Jake."

"Nice to meet you." She flashed a smile as he walked off with responding, "Same to you."

About to enter the known corner hang out spot, she turned to Eli who was looking right back at her. They were both holding up masks, pretending they were okay but it was so much more to it than that. Clare took in a breath, "Guess it's time to move on." She told her best friend as they both walked in, ready to go on with a life. A life that didn't consist of Eli.

Just a short start. This is definitely an Eclare story, don't worry. But Imogen and Jake are in. The idea came from EclareForever24. Having hope for this story, don't know where its going though. Hope you enjoyed. Review
