Alli's POV

As I was getting out of my brother's car, I yawned and started walking up to Degrassi. Sav dropped me off early today, and because he had an early presidential meeting, I had to come in early, too. Frustrated, I walked up to the top of the steps of Degrassi and sat down. I didn't feel like watching my brother talk about the school, or whatever it is they talk about at those meetings of his. While sitting, I saw Adam walking up.

"Hey, Adam" I said, half-heartedly.

He sat down next to me and said, "Hey Alli. What are you doing here, so early in the morning?"

"Sav had a meeting to go to and he was my ride. You?" I said.

"Drew had something for football." He said. I perked up when I heard Drew's name, but slumped back down when I realized he couldn't see me while playing football or anything, or else he'd get in trouble. I muttered and 'oh' to Adam, and we sat there in silence. Mostly, because we were too tired to say anything else. After a while, we heard loud music, more like screaming. We saw a hearse pull up the Degrassi parking lot, and into a parking space.

"Hey, look. It's Eli." Adam said, he started to stand up, but I quickly stopped him.

Adam's POV

I was sitting on the top of the Degrassi steps with Alli, when we saw Morty park himself in the parking lot of Degrassi.

"Hey, look. It's Eli." I said. But, when I went to stand up, Alli grabbed my arm and quickly pulled me back down. I looked at her. I was kind of confused as to why she wouldn't want me to leave. Before I could say anything, she crawled over to the side of the steps, bringing me with her. She pointed to another spot in the Degrassi parking lot. I looked to where she was pointing and I saw Clare getting off her bike.

"Oh!" I said, loudly. Alli shushed me and covered my mouth. She took her hand off and I whispered, "Sorry!"

She rolled her eyes and whispered, "We've been doing this for weeks, and now you choose to be loud?" I shrugged and we both pointed our attention to Clare, who was now walking up to the hearse. Yes, we were watching Clare. And yes, that sounds weird. But, hear us out. We weren't only watching Clare. We were watching Clare and Eli. Alli and I know they like each other, I mean, they told us themselves. And, yet they still skirt around their relationship, always flirting. So, naturally, we made bets. We started the bet two weeks ago. Alli bet that they would be together in two weeks. Since, she said that when we started the bet, that meant today was the day that determined who won. I bet that they would be together in a month. If they were together by the end of today, she won. If they weren't together by the end of today, I won. But, if they found out, no one won. Because, if they found out, well needless to say we would be in a lot of trouble…

Alli and I were lying on the cold ground beside the top of the steps of Degrassi, watching our friends minding their own business.

"How do they not notice each other?" Alli whispered, "I mean, they're practically the only one's here?"

"Well, Eli knows Clare's here. But, Clare has her back turned." I said, as I pointed to the hearse, "See? Eli's just sitting there watching her."

"That's kinda weird. He's just looking at her." Alli said. I gave her a look.

"Alli, that's exactly what we're doing." I pointed out. Alli's mumbled an 'oh, yeah' and we went back to our watching. As Clare turned around she saw Morty. Her face lit up and she picked up her bag and walked across the parking lot.

Eli got out, "Hey, blue eyes." He smirked. I snorted, Blue eyes? Really, Eli?

Clare smiled and said, "Hey, Eli." She lay down on Morty's hood and Eli joined her. After a while of them just lying there, Eli grabbed Clare's hand. I looked at Alli, who had a very smug face on. A face that just screamed, "I'm soooo gonna win!" I didn't want to give her the satisfaction, so I tried to hide my nervousness. I was nervous that I wouldn't win. I mean, I knew they were eventually going to end up together; it was just the little fact of when. Right as I thought I was going to lose the bet, students of Degrassi started arriving. Eli and Clare got off Morty, grabbed their backpacks, and started to walk up to the front doors of the school. Alli and I got up and slid through the doors before either of them could notice. "Man," I thought, "That was so close."

"Man!" I heard Alli say, "That was so close!" Didn't I just say that? Oh wait, I thought it. You know what? I should probably say something before she thinks I'm crazy...

"Yeah," I finally said, "You almost one! Guess today's my lucky day."

"Don't be so sure, Torres." She said, "The day's not over, yet." And with that, she walked away. I will win this bet. I knew my best friends more than anyone. Even Alli… Right?

Hope you guys liked it! :) I had an idea for the next chapter and I'm writing it right now. By the way, I don't really know what to name this chapter, so if anyone has any ideas let me know! And, yeah, it's really weird for an author to ask their readers what to name a chapter, but I'm stuck!
