Wow. I legit made this account like 3 days ago, so I wasn't expecting ANY reviews. Thanks, they made me really happy and so as soon as I read them, I started typing the 2nd chappie - THE WHOLE THING ON MY IPOD OMG IT WAS SO ANNOYING :) I also forgot a couple things, it seems.

DISCLAIMER: If I owned Degrassi, Clare and Eli would still be together and Dave wouldn't be such a bitch to Adam

Also, VERY IMPORTANT note at the bottom. So, here's Awkward Situations chapter 2! Enjoy and review

A/N: After reading the reviews, I felt like I had to fix this. Sorry! And also I have no idea how to make indents since the Doc Manager won't let me press tab haha. And, well if you haven't read the chapter yet, then good for you! You get to dodge my fuck-up ness :)

Awkward Situations chapter 2.

CLARE POV

I hate this already.

First, there's that "boy" smell that seems to crowd every nook and cranny of each and every room. Then there are the boys themselves, who are loud as fuck, and seem to have some odd obsession with throwing footballs and wondering which girls from degrassi girls school are"easy". I'm pretty sure I heard Alli's name in there too. We've been in school a month, and how that girl already has a reputation amuses me.

But worst of all, there's me.

As a guy, of course. Before the year started, I had to cut my long locks (which I have been growing for THREE years) into a short and shaggy hairstyle which could pass as "male" since I refuse to wear a wig. I also have to wear hats every day to cover my face before people get a look at how girlish I look. I've been trying to keep a low profile, but one day Riley burst into my class room yelling "Hey li'l bro!". He seemed to find the whole situation funny and had to make fun of me in every which way.

While Riley's outburst was annoying, I didn't realize the attention it'd give me. "The chairman's son". Before long, my struggle to stay under the radar was thwarted. It's not like I hate acting like a guy, it's actually kind of fun. Making my voice deeper...finally having someone to talk to about hockey...being a guy is easier than I thought. I just hate lying to everybody. And I get especially scared whenever someone makes a comment about me being a girl. One time, I snapped at my friend, Drew, for knocking over a couple of books I was holding, by throwing a football.

"What the hell man!" I yelled.

"Sorry dude it was an accident. We cool?" he sounded sincere.

"Uh, no. Now I'm going to be late for Mrs. Dawes' class." I continued.

"Geesh I'm sorry, what are you on your period or something?" he asked with a chuckle at the end. The worst part was, I WAS on my period.

"Alli, being a guy is so annoying!" I complained to Alli one day while we were getting coffee at our favorite hangout, The Dot. It was the weekend, so students were allowed to go home, and I was allowed to wear a skirt.

"Oh come on, all you need to do is be all macho and buff and talk deeper." she giggled as her voice got deeper towards the end.

"Ugh," I sighed, " I do all that stuff already, but while its fun and all, I want to be girly too. I mean, how am I even going to get a boyfriend if I'm a guy?" I used hand quotation marks when I said the word "guy".

"Well what about your roommate? If you can't date, you can at least fantasize." she winked

"My dad told me he wouldn't give me a roommate to make things easier for me and to ensure my safety or something."

"Awwww, cause I was hoping you could introduce me to some hot guys when you get out of there."

"Please, Alli, the degrassi schools party all the time. You'll have a boyfriend in no time."

"But Clareee." she whined. I promptly ignored her as my phone started to buzz. It was a text from my dad.

Okay clare-bear, before you freak out, I want u to know there was no other option and that degrassi needs this kid becuz he scored highest on the intramural high school acceptance test. Unfortunately, were out of empty beds in dorm rooms. He has no option but to room with yousweetie! He'll be coming in a week due to being away at a national writing competition, but his stuff will be there today! Xoxo luv, dad.

I reread the long ass text at least five times. No way. No fucking way. Alli stopped whining long enough to notice the look on my face.

"Everything alright, Clare?"

I didn't answer her for a while all I could think of was the troubles I would have to go through soon. Waking up before he does to shower, hiding the bindings for my breasts and the tampons, LIVING WITH A MESSY HIGHSCHOOL BOY...

"Clare..?"

I slammed my head on the table and started thunking it against the edge again and again.

"No." thunk. " Alli." thunk "Everything isn't." thunk "Okay!"

"Clare, will you get a grip on yourself? What the hell happened?" I started to tell Alli about my dad's text and how difficult my life was going to be in a week. After a long discussion on what to do and where to hide my stuff, Alli and I said our goodbyes, and since it was Sunday, I started making my way back to my dorm room. I really wanted to go inside and lie face down on my pillow until the morning when class started, but a LARGE trunk of my new room mate's stuff reminded me that I needed to start packing away my womanly things into a more secure place. As I was putting tampons away into a locked drawer by my bed, I passed by the trunk for like the bajillionth time in the small room and for the first time, noticed something scratched into the side.

Property Of: Elijah Goldsworthy

So this was the name of our genius kid, who had to come ruin my life. I decided to look him up on the internet to see if he was really this big hot-shot, or if I could convince my dad that degrassi didn't need him. The wonders of Google. His name brought up LOTS of results. Descriptions ranging from babies to old dead guys, I narrowed the result by adding degrassi to the end of his name. A certain article caught my eye.

Elijah Goldsworthy, winner of the 25th annual Canadian writing competition for young writers!

Elijah, 16, took a month off from high school to take part in the competition, which in turn took part all across the country. At such a young age, he is astounding with his winning story "Stalker Angel" which about the tragic love between the protagonist and his interest, Rachel. He will go back to attending degrassi all male boarding school, after taking a month off. He has been receiving tutoring, though, and is excited to jump back into his classes with his fellow peers. Elijah's story will be published as a featured story in many zines and literary newspapers and magazines. Upon winning, Elijah claimed he would like to thank...

Starting to get bored of the article, my eyes drifted towards a picture of a very, and I mean VERY hot guy smiling and holding an award in the corner of the page. He had dark hair and piercing yet sexy green eyes. He wasn't overly muscular, but he wasn't all skin and bones either. He was wearing a dark button down shirt and skinny jeans. At first glance, I guess he would've seemed emo, but looking closer, I didn't see any guyliner. In the photo, his lips were turned up in a smirk, which I couldn't help but want to huff about. It seemed to say " look at me, I'm Elijah and I won this contest and you didn't."

Needless to say, this guy was really cute. And though he would be ruining my somewhat easy dorm life, I couldn't help but think of that smirk of his. Somehow I knew I would be in for a hell ride. And as I drifted off to sleep, I kept rolling the name of my dorm life wrecker around in my head.

Elijah Goldsworthy, Elijah Goldsworthy.
