Okay guys. Knowing me, I would've been really lazy to update it tomorrow, so chapter two was already sitting in my computer. (Yeah. Weird, but I kind of was working on this story earlier and decided to finish the second chapter earlier). Thanks for your reviews.
I don't own Degrassi.
Eli's POV
"So you going to walk me to my door or what?" I asked in a joking manner, she giggled and got out the car with me.
"I really had fun tonight, Edwards. I needed it" I said stroking her arm "Of course. We both needed it. We should do it again" she replied smiling back at me "You act as if this is the only date we're going to be going on" I joked poking her side, she squealed "Well, then, I look forward to going on more dates with you, Mr. Goldsworthy" she smirked and kissed me softly.
"I'll see you at school tomorrow?" I whispered, she nodded "Do you need a ride?" she grinned, I knew she loved teasing me about rides now since I had no car. "Well I would appreciate it if my lovely girlfriend could give me one" I said laughing while playing with her curls "It would be my pleasure" she replied and gave me one last kiss.
"Hey Clare" I yelled out, she turned around "Yes?" she replied back "I love you" I said and smiled at her. I saw her chuckle to herself "Love you too, Eli" and with that she went into her car.
I couldn't have asked for a more perfect than this.
Clare's POV
I set my alarm for 6:30am for the next morning. I smiled to myself thinking about tonight's date and I was completely right about the movie, Eli admitted that he really liked it. I laughed to myself softly, I should cherish these moments from now on. I kept thinking about how we started as a couple to where we were right now and I couldn't be happier.
I guess I fell asleep while I was daydreaming about me and Eli because my phone was vibrating my crazy the next morning. "What is it?" I said groggily into the phone "Are you coming to pick me up or what?" I recognized his voice immediately "What time is it?" I asked, I didn't hear my alarm go off "It's 7:15, Edwards. We're going to be late for school no doubt about it" he said.
I screamed and hung up on Eli while jumping out of bed. I've never been late to school, ever! Nope. I was going to make it to Degrassi by 7:30, it was my mission. I ran out of the door skipping breakfast and I sped off the Eli's house.
"Relax Clare, if you keep driving like this, you're going get pulled over" I said to myself as I pulled up to Eli's. I honked the horn a few times until he came out of the door "Relax. You're going to wake up the neighbors. Some people are still sleeping!" he told me while hopping into the passenger seat.
"It's easy for you to be calm, Eli. I've never been tardy to school ever! I'm not going to make that happen" I said wondering how on earth can he be so calm about not being late to school. Especially to Dawes's class, she would give you a detention automatically and I just couldn't afford that. I mean, sure, I was dating bad boy Eli Goldsworthy, but I still needed to have some of Saint Clare's personality in me. Maybe I'm just overreacting.
We arrived on school grounds and I looked at the clock, 7:25 "See you made it" Eli said and kissed my forehead.
Eli's POV
"Did you guys hear?" Adam said "Hear what?" Clare asked looking at him suspiciously "You have some competition" he said looking at Clare smirking "Competition with who?" she burst out laughing "Imogen Moreno… she's new to Degrassi and apparently has her eyes set on Mr. Green Eyes here" Adam said pointing at me.
"Oh, Imogen" I started off "She's in my Calculus class, she just transferred here from California" I finished "Wait.. back up. Who is Imogen?" Clare said looking confused "I heard my name" a girls voice randomly popped out of nowhere. All three of us turned around and saw an average height girl with glasses and her hair up in harajuku like buns "Hi, Imogen Moreno!" she said a little too cheerfully and stuck her hand out to Clare "Clare Edwards" Clare responded smiling "Hi Eli! Hi Adam!" she said again.
"So why were you guys talking about me?" she asked curiously "Word on the street is, you're new to Degrassi! Welcome!" Clare said, I looked at Adam weird then back at Clare "Yes. I just transferred here yesterday from California. It's a really beautiful place, Canada" Imogen replied, Clare smiled and nodded "Well if you need anything. Don't be afraid to come up to one of us. We'll be more than happy to help you find your way throughout Degrassi" Clare said "Oh thanks. Well I uh better get to class. I'll see you soon, Eli" she giggled and smiled at me.
"She seems a little bit… creepy" Clare said "Don't be rude, blue eyes" I said to her "She's new. She needs some time to adjust to a new environment. I guess Degrassi is a little different from her school in California" I said defending Imogen "Alright. If you say so" Clare said and the bell rang.
I was about to walk to class until she grabbed me by my shoulder "Be careful…. Please" she said, I smiled "I'm not going to let her do anything. Remember what you said? Nothing and no one is going to come between us. Trust me. You'll be on my mind throughout the entire class period. Okay beautiful?" I reassured her, she nodded, I gave her a little squeeze on the shoulder and walked to class.
Clare's POV
"I don't like her" I said to Adam glaring at her from afar "Clare, you haven't even talked to her and if anything, she was really sweet to you when you introduced yourself to her" Adam said rolling his eyes "Yeah. Well it just shows how extra careful I have to be with Eli now" I said grunting and closing my locker "Dude. I hope you aren't turning into overprotective Eli" Adam said looking at me.
"What's that suppose to mean?" my tone was kind of harsh, I didn't mean for it to come out that way "Uh, remember when Fitz came back? And Eli got a little crazy… oh you know that moment when he crashed his hearse for you. You know that Eli" Adam said sarcastically acting like I didn't remember that event "Look Adam, I'm not going to get crazy and keep Eli on a leash. I'm just saying I need to be more careful now…" I said "Hm. Okay, well good luck with that" Adam said and walked away.
I saw Eli approaching me "How was Calculus?" I asked "It was… good. Imogen is really fun to talk to. You should get to know her. I think you would like her" he replied smiling, I huffed and I guess he got the vibe that she wasn't exactly my favorite person right now because he said, "No pressure though. It was just a suggestion".
"Look Eli, I'm not saying I expect you to not talk to her but… just be cautious. I don't know her really. I'm just scared she's going to take you away from me" I said "Clare bear, she's not. Trust me. No one is right for me, except for you. Now can you please calm down?" he said putting both hands on each side of my shoulder, I nodded. He kissed my forehead and grabbed my hand leading me out of the school "I know she isn't your favorite person right now but you have to cut her some slack. Like I said she's new to the school and you barely even know her. Just give her a chance. I promise, she's not as bad as you think she is" Eli said to me. Maybe I was overreacting, I mean I barely knew her, I just knew she had a crush on my boyfriend.
"Fine. Okay" I responed "Before I forget, here's your pill" I said again handing it to me. I looked away when he swallowed it down "Also, do you think Imogen would be able to do this for me? Keep track of when I have to take my pills? Having to deal with my panic attacks? Hm?" he questioned me "Okay enough with bombarding me with questions. I get your point. I'm yours and you're mine" I said.
He smiled "That's my girl". Yes, I was Eli's girl, not Imogen, but me, Clare Edwards.
I'm not too happy with this chapter. I feel like I sort of rushed it just to get it over with. I kind of got lazy towards the end. Please review! I promise I won't be updating every hour, every second of the day. I'm going to try my best to update almost everyday. It's just really easy for me to update fast this week since I am on Spring Break! Thanks for reading! xoxoxo
