Narrative POV: Chapter 2 - Seeing Her
Flashback...
How many times had he thought about her that day? Ten, twenty, one hundred? He couldn't even count. She occupied his mind 24/7.

Clare pressed her knuckles into her eyes to stop herself from taking the situation too far. Tonight was the big Degrassi dance, and she was determined to have fun.
