AUTHORS NOTE
This is my first Fanfiction! This is an Eclare Fanfic. Somewhat Cake.. I will be releasing a new chapter everyday (most likely). :D
CHAPTER 1
Clare's POV
It's was a monday morning. The school wasnt as loud as any other day of the week, because no one likes Mondays. Coming back to school after the break-up was hard, cause Eli and I couldn't talk to each other without it being horribly uncomfortable. I wasn't feeling like myself today. Just thinking about Eli made me sad.
I walked down the hall going to Adam's locker hoping that Eli wouldn't be there. "Hey." I said to Adam. "Hey. Why so serious?" said Adam noticing my frown. "nothing it's just, what Eli and I had was-" Adam cut me off with a sigh. "hey Adam. Uh, Clare." said Eli as he walked up behind me. Why was Eli giving me so much attitude? "Hi, Eli." I said to Eli.
Eli's POV
What was Clare talking to Adam about? She's been ignoring all of us since the break-up. "I better get to class. See ya later." I said as I walked to my first class, Math. "is this Mr. Martin's room?" Asked a girl with a beautiful, smooth and quiet voice. "Yes. You must be our new student, Jessica DeFranco! Welcome to the class!" said as he read the class list. Jessica DeFranco huh? That's such a beautiful name. She had brown hair that was tied in a neat ponytail, big brown bold eyes and a large smile. She was wearing a yellow t-shirt and dark blue skinny sat in the desk beside me.
"Hey." I whispered and smirked
"Hey, what's your name?"
"Elijah, but you can call me Eli."
"Cool name. You can call me Jess."
"Ok. Is this your first day here?"
"yeah, It's really lame. You know, being the 'new kid'."
"nahh, you get used to it.. Uh so what's your next class?"
"English."
"Cool me too. Um, are you.. Single?"
"Single? Don't you think it's a little early to be asking me out? I mean I just met you."
"yea, I was just wondering."
"Yes. Yes I am. But I'm not gonna risk my heart. this year, I'm only dating if I'm completely sure."
"Yea. Have you made any friends yet?"
"nope. But I'd love to be your friend!"
"haha, how about after school, I show you around."
"sure!"
-after school-
I walked down the hall, ignoring everyone and just thinking about Jessica. I stopped at Jess' last class, French. I saw Jessica walk out of her class.
"Hey Jess."
"Hi Eli!"
"Ready to go? There is this coffee shop that the students of Degrassi go to after school. I thought you might wanna join me."
"Sure yea, let me just get my books."
After Jess grabbed all her stuff, we went to the Dot.
-at the Dot-
"This is the Dot. The place where everyone hangs out." I said. I glanced over to find a table and I saw Clare sitting with Jake. Don't get jealous Eli. Calm down. Jess saw the frustration in my face and said
"What happened Eli?"
"Nothing, it's just, nevermind."
"ok. But you can tell me anything. I'll keep it a secret!"
"haha ok."
We found a seat and started to talk
"So. What was that you weren't gonna tell me but now you are?" Jess said with a big smile on her face.
"Nothing. Well, can I trust you?"
"Sure why not?"
"Well, you see that girl over there.." I said nudging my head to the left. "We had a rough break-up and we can't.." my anger built up inside me. My nervousness made my heart pound 60X faster. I started to shake.
"Eli! Are you ok?"
"I. I have to go!" I said with frustration in my voice.
Clare's POV
From the corner of my eye, I could see Eli and a new girl looking towards me and Jake. "Jake.. Who is she?" I said. "I think she's the new girl. But why does it matter?" he answered. "No reason, just curious." I said. Eli couldn't be over me that quickly. I don't understand how he would! He drove a car into a wall for Christ Sake! He must just be showing her around. Whatever. I need to talk to Eli. I can't stand to see him with someone else.
Jess' POV
"ELI!" I yelled when Eli stormed off. I sat there confused. I got up, attempting to walk out, but i stepped on something. I looked down thinking that it was a piece of gum but it was a piece of paper, with Eli's handwriting on it. It read
"Dear Jessica,
Welcome to Degrassi! If you ever need anything, you can call me or IM me. 416-555-6677 Goldz_220409 :) Good luck!
from, Eli Goldsworthy"
Hmm. Eli does seem amazing. Let's see if I can try my luck.
-later that day-
I walked inside my house and sat down. The note said to IM him, so lets see how this goes. I grabbed my laptop and started to type. Eli seemed really cool.
Narrator
Jessica started to type like the wind. Jess knew she liked Eli, but Eli was clearly not over Clare. This should be fun.
