DISCLAIMER; I do not own Degrassi, If I did. Fitz would get hit by a bus. Thank you. -bows-

Clare frantically searched through her notebook as she read the page on the assignment her and 'Eli' would be working on together. She started taking notes until she realized he was just sitting there staring at her, her eyebrows pulled together into a confused expression. She lifted her head slowly and saw that he was in fact staring. "Uh.. Can I help you?" She asked brushing her short choppy bangs out of her face. He just sat there looking rather smug. "No, Im fine." He said with a shrug, he placed his elbows on Clare's desk. She cocked an eyebrow and watched his every move carefully, she kicked his leg gently. "Earth to Elijah?" She asked and he just stared at her cheek looking deep in thought. She remembered the cut and quickly covered her cheek looking around the desk grabbing at stuff. "W-We should get to wor-" She stopped talking as he ran his thumb across her cheek right under the scar. She looked at him his expression confused and a bit distant. "What happened?" He asked suddenly interested in Clare's well being. She shook her head quickly standing up slowly, "Fell down the stairs." She attempted to brush off the question cool-y and he didn't believe it one bit. The bell rang with a loud shrill and she had ran off leaving Eli with so many questions unanswered.

- Eli's POV-

Eli wanted to know her- He needed to know her. Her fears, her dreams, her favorite color,
favorite music, her first pet, what made her happy; because he wanted to make her happy. He followed after her quickly grabbing her shoulder as she made it through the double doors of Degrassi. She turned around quickly a terrified expression on her face, she shook her head frantically and he turned his head slightly seeing from the corner of his eye some big burly kid. Fitz was it? He chuckled lightly and turned fully around crossing his arm across his chest. "Touching my girlfriend are you goth boy?" Fitz asked with a testing smirk. He marched past Eli taking his blue eyed girl wrapping his arm around her waist. Jealousy washed over Eli and he sucked in a deep breath. "What are you going to do about it?" He asked taking a slow step forwards rocking back on his heels. "Oh, Man you don't wanna know." He dared to say and before Eli could reply this Fitz character had swooped Clare up in his arms a kissing her with everything he had making Eli furious, his fists clenched and his eyes locked on Clare. It was SO on.
