Eli's POV:

I walked into Degrassi and let out a sigh, another day. I took in a deep breath before heading to my locker on the second floor to find my girlfriend of three months waiting. I smiled wide, genuinely excited to see my beautiful girlfriend. I leaned in and pecked her on the lips.

"Morning beautiful!" I said cheerfully before reaching for the lock on my yellow locker. Clare leaned up against the locker right next to me. Someone cleared their throat behind us causing us to both turn our heads, startled.

I couldn't believe who was standing right behind me.

"Maria?" I questioned, shocked.

"Eli? I havent seen you in forever!"

"Yeah, not since...Julia."

"I'm sorry Eli, I know it must be hard for you."

"She WAS your sister, Maria. I'm sure it must be hard for you too." God she's grown up a lot. She looks just like Julia now. She's a year younger than me, but she started wearing make-up later than most girls. And God, she looks good. But Clare...

"Right well I believe your in the way of MY locker.." she said looking at Clare. Her locker's right next to me!

"Sorry, I'll just go to class now." Clare said.

"I'll walk you there!" I shouted as she started to walk away.

"Uh.. thats fine... " she responded before walking away leaving me to talk to Maria.

Clare's POV:

Right now, I'm absolutely sure of two things. First thing: Julia's sister is at Degrassi. Second thing: No matter what, I'll always feel like im competing with a ghost for Eli's affection, that ghost being Julia. I continued to walk to my Visual Arts class when suddenly I bumped into another body causing both our books to fall to the ground.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" I apologized.

"God, could you be any more of a klutz!" I looked up to find myself in front of none other than Bianca. I got a little daring and decided I wasn't going to put up with this.

"Could you be any more of a bitch!" This caused her jaw drop to the ground.

"E-excuse me?' she stuttered.

"You heard me!" I snapped back. She responded to my statement by slapping me in the face. I held my face in pain with a look of shock planted on my face. "What the hell was that for?" I yelled at her.

"To teach you not to mess with me!" She yelled as she turned around to walk away.

"Well too bad for you I'm a slow learner!" I screamed before she could get away. She stopped dead in her tracks but didn't turn around.

"Well learn quicker or you'll have a lot of hell here." She said turning around and taking a few steps in my direction.

"No, I don't think I will." I said moving towards her daring her to say something. When she didn't I continued. "I highly doubt I'll have to worry about a whore with a big ego. You're sure talk a lot, but you never do anything." I smirked.

"You little bitch!" she screamed grabbing my hair and pulling me down to the ground.

"Ah!" I yelped pushing her off of me and into a nearby bench. She grabbed the back of her head and I laughed. I got up and took a step towards her only to have her kick me in the shin causing me to fall on top of her. She grabbed my shoulders and pinned me beneath her. She began furiously shaking me and I did the same to her. I managed to push her off of me and I tried to crawl away but she pushed my head against the leg of the bench. And let me tell you, it hurt like HELL!

"Ahh!" I screamed out in pain. But she wasn't done yet. She punched me in the nose and I was sure it was going to start bleeding.

"Stop it! Bee get off of her!" I turned around to see Fitz running towards us.

A/N: The whole catfight thing was most likely COMPLETELY RANDOM! I promise Bianca is not going to be a regular thing. That was mainly to state that this story is NOT going to be about Eli developing a relationship with Maria and that Clare is NOT going to be irrelevant. And Fitz and Clare are most likely going to end up being good friends. I honestly am a Flare fan, but I honestly don't think this will turn into a Flare story so don't worry about that. And Clare is not going to be the clingy girlfriend in this story, and Eli's kind of going to be an asshole about the whole Maria situation, deal with it, I'm sick of reading stories where Eli is ABSOLUTELY perfect, because newsflash! He's not, no one is. But this is probably going to end Eclare. No promises though...
