Ta daa! I present to you, chapter two! Oh and I've decided that Clare will actually be in 10th grade and Eli in 11th, just like the T.V. show. And Clare will also already have her short hair, laser eye surgery, ect. Ect.

I'd also like to thank everyone who reviewed and/or subscribed and/or favorited! Thank you

Disclaimer: I do not own the T.V. show Degrassi and I do not own its characters. The end.

Lunch Table of Isolation Day 2

"Hey Eli." I said. I might as well make the best of this situation. It's not like I have anyone else to sit with.

He gave me a nod.

Okay then, I guess I'll try again. "So how are you liking Degrassi so far?"

He gave me a noncommittal shrug.

Okay, now I was starting to get seriously annoyed. "Are you even going to talk to me?" I exclaimed. It was bad enough that Alli and Drew had abandoned me, but now this random person with apparently no friends was refusing to talk to me.

Had I somehow mutated overnight into a hideous being or was I just not good enough now?

"No." Eli said. He glanced at me, just to see my reaction.

"Great," I grumbled, "Well, at least that's one word."

We finished the rest of lunch in silence.

Lunch Table of Isolation Day 3

I ate my lunch. He ate his lunch. He hummed screamo again. I rolled my eyes. The end.

Lunch Table of Isolation Day 4

"Hey Alli!" I said as Alli walked by. She glanced at me and then walked over to Drew's table.

Sighing, I got up from the table I was at. Eli watched me as I walked over to Alli and Drew.

They were very, let's say, preoccupied when I arrived. So I slammed my hand down on the table and shouted, "Hey!" The shouting and slamming my hand onto tables was totally not like me, but I was frustrated. My well of patience had just run dry.

"Ugh." Alli crinkled her nose at the sight of me. "What do you want Clare Bear?"

"You guys haven't been acting like yourselves lately and I want tot talk to you. Both of you," I said, glaring at Drew as he tried to be invisible.

"Uh, can we talk later?" Alli said snottily. "We're busy."

I glared at her. "Fine. Meet me at the park after school."

"Fine!" Alli snapped back at me. Ugh, what was her problem?

I glared at her, and then marched back to the table to sit with Eli.

"Tough." Eli commented.

"Not in the mood, Eli, not in the mood."

Lunch Table of Isolation Day 5

"So remind me again why you're sitting here." Eli said as he sat down.

"Surprise, surprise. He actually speaks." I snarled grumpily.

"I can speak, I just usually chose not to." He said airily. I normally would have found this funny. Heck, normally I would've laughed. Unfortunately, this was not normally. Yesterday, I had decided to tell Alli and Drew how I felt about them abandoning me, and then they just blew me off like it was no big deal! I try not to be clingy or stress a lot when it comes to my friends, but they are just refusing to acknowledge me. And I admit it hurts.

So, I waited all last night for Alli and/or Drew to call me so they could apologize for the way they had been acting. They didn't. My cell phone didn't ring once. Nothing. Nada. The only sound I heard was my parents fighting.

"Just shut up, okay?" I said as I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples. I was sooo tired. I hadn't had a good night sleep in forever, not since my parents started fighting.

"Someone's in a bad mood." Eli said jokingly. I laid my head down on the table. "Do you want to talk about it?" This tie he actually sounded concerned.

"With whom?" I asked, teasing.

"Ouch, Edwards my feelings are hurt." He said, mocking heartbreak.

"Oh you'll get over it." I said playfully punching him. "Do I have any other options?"

"Looks like I'm your only option." He said, this time more serious.

You know what, he was my only option. And that made me kind of sad. I don't mean that as an insult to Eli, just the fact that the only person I had to confide in was a guy a met three days ago was sad. Pathetic.

"It's going to be a long story, you sure you want to hear it?" I asked. Stalling for time.

"I'll take my chances." He smirked.

And so I talked. I talked about how I had been best friends with Alli and Drew for what seemed like forever, and now I felt like I had no one. I told him a little bit about my parents not getting along, but not a lot. I didn't really want him to know how bad it was and how much it was getting me down. And it wasn't really any of his business, thank you very much.

"And now I just feel alone and I'm wondering why my friends aren't talking to me and the more I think about it, the more I can't think of one redeemable quality about myself." I finished. I had been staring at the floor the entire time, but now I finally had enough courage to glance at Eli.

He was staring at me. What was the expression in his eyes? Pity? Sorrow? Amusement? Did he even care?

I sighed and looked down at the floor again. Maybe I shouldn't have spouted out my life's story. After all, I barely knew Eli and now I probably just sounded like some whiny little kid.

"Well I can think of at least one redeemable quality about you." Eli smirked.

"And what's that?" I asked sarcastically. I expected a sarcastic answer in return.

He looked at me thoughtfully for a second. Then in that monotone voice he uses that makes me unable to figure out what he's thinking he said, "Well you have pretty eyes."

Okaay. Not what I expected.

Yay! I will probably update later on today or tomorrow!

And as requested there will be a food fight, so tune in if you want to see that,

Reviews are appreciated!
