Disclamer: I do not own Degrassi

A/N: Alright so here is the first chapter of the crew. It will be much longer as promised and I hope you enjoy it.

Now I really didn't wanna have to do this cause I don't wanna be the kind of author that makes people review but I only 2 reviews on the preface or the intro chapter whatever you wanna call it but I got several alerts and favorites on it.

So this tells me that people are reading but not reviewing and the thing is if you want me to continue I need feedback if I don't get any I'm just gonna assume that you guys don't like it and don't want me to continue.

So if I get 5 reviews I'll put up the next chapter. Alright so enjoy chapter one.

Clare sighed as she opened her locker and put her books and bag in getting ready for her morning class.

She had been at Degrassi for a little over a month and she was still considered the new girl.

She was excited to have a fresh start at a new school and make new friends it was what she and well her mom needed the most.

Clare and her mom had moved to Toronto over the summer because her mother needed a new atmosphere after her father past away.

She was so distraught and upset that Clare had suggested a move to get away from all the memories and her mother had agreed so here they were.

So far though her mother was doing better with this move than Clare herself. Her mother had found a job and had made coworkers and friends so why couldn't she?

I mean sure she had Connor and Wesley whom she met her first week here but they were loners themselves really and Clare had wanted more I mean high school was supposed to be the time of her life.

She wanted to be one of them she thought and looked at herself in the mirror in her locker but it was hopeless.

As if on cue she heard a very distinct voice and then a group of people laugh and immediately she knew who it was.

She turned her head slightly and saw them coming.

All of them looking beautiful and perfect as always.

The Crew was made up of around 7 people.

Alli Bhandari who Clare sort of knew , Her boyfriend Drew Torres , His brother Adam , A girl who had a bad reputation but was still beautiful named Bianca , A rich snobby girl named Fiona , A Bully named Fitz and of course the most beautiful dark boy Clare had ever seen.

Elijah Goldsworthy. He was known as the leader and he was captain of the football team. Every girl in school wanted to date him and every guy wanted to befriend him.

They had power. The power to make someone or break them and if they hated you the rest of the school would hate you as well.

Clare envied them. As they passed by her locker she looked up shyly and caught Alli's eyes who gave her a warm smile.

Clare smiled back and then she saw Alli nudge Eli's arm slightly gaining his attention away from Fitz and nodding her head towards Clare.

Eli locked eyes with her. Green met blue. His eyes were so intense and beautiful and when he smirked Clare had to blush and look down. Until they passed her locker.

RINGGGGG

The tardy bell went off. Clare shut her locker and leaned against it. She was gonna be late but right now she didn't care.

At lunch Clare sat with Connor and Wesley halfway listening to them go on and on about how Wesley was gonna break his world record that he wanted to accomplish by the time he was 16 in 2 weeks.

"So I was thinking of lying in a tub filled with 800 scorpions for 3 minutes but my uncle says it's a little too extreme"

"I agree with your uncle, plus where are you gonna find that many scorpions?" Connor asked taking a sip of his juice.

"Hmm true" Wesley said taking a bite of his sandwich and pausing to chew and swallow. "Maybe I could do the most pogo stick jumps in 24 hours?"

"That could work and I could time you"

"Alright!"

"Clare what do you think?"

"Hmm"

"About the pogo stick idea?"

"Oh! Umm I think its great Wesley" She said giving him a small smile and then continuing to play with her food.

English was the class Clare usually did very well in but not this year. She could barely even focus actually. Why you may ask?

Well 1 she was in Advanced English and none other than Eli was in her class. 2 Of all the seats in the class he just had to sit right behind her so she was tense all the time. And of course 3 Mrs. Dawes had decided to make them writing partners so whenever she spoke to him the few times she did she would blush and sometimes get tongue twisted and he'd just look up at her with those forest green eyes and cute smirk.

"Alright my brilliant minds you all did exceptionally well on your letters a lot of improvements very nice. Mrs. Dawes said as she walked around the room passing back papers.

Clare smiled as she looked down at her paper and saw an A in red marker at the top of the page. She felt the seat behind her shift and then she felt someone's hot breath on her neck.

"How'd you do?"

She blushed a shade a red and tried to quickly compose herself as she turned in her desk to look at him.

"Great" She smiled showing him her A "Thanks for all your side notes it really helped"

"No problem that's what English partners are for" He gave her a smirk.

"Yeah English partners… So umm"

RINGGGGG

"Alright class have a good weekend and don't forget about the big game tonight good luck Eli. Go panthers!"

Everyone started gathering up their stuff and heading out of class.

Clare watched as Eli became surrounded by a few girls who were hanging on him and obviously flirting with him.

She sighed as she grabbed her bag and headed out of the class room. What she didn't know was that Eli had his eyes on her the whole time.

He had actually been watching her since the first day she got here. He and Fitz were late as usual and they went to the front office to sweet talk old Mrs. Johnson into give them late slips and that's when he saw her.

Ever since than he's kept watch on her and she's intrigued him.

A voice brought him out of his thoughts "Ah Ah ladies sorry to steal Eli away but we need to practice for the big game tonight I know you'll be there right?" Fitz said grinning as he grabbed Eli's arm.

All the girls giggled and nodded as Eli and Fitz joined the rest of the crew outside the classroom.

"Your such a little whore magnet Eli" Bianca said glaring at the girls

"Awl Bee don't be jealous" Eli laughed

"As if I already had you and you weren't that great"

"Ohhhh"

Bianca smirked and crossed her arms

"Sweetie you just weren't enough woman for me or than again maybe you were a little too much" He said giving her a smirk back

"Ohhhhhhh BURN" Adam, Fitz and Drew yelled laughing.

"Fuck you Eli!"

"Maybe later bee but right now I have to ask you guys something. What do you think of Clare Edwards?

"Eli! Really Clare! She's a nerd I know where this is going"

"Shut up Bianca" Alli Said "Clare's really sweet I have her for math class.

"Yeah I'm in their class to Alli's right" Adam said

"I don't know her really" Fiona said

"She's Fucking Hot!" Fitz and Drew said at the same time causing Alli to glare at Drew.

"Emo boy are you thinking what I think your thinking "Fitz said putting his arm on Eli's shoulder.

"Maybe Fitz boy"

Fitz grinned "You want Little Edwards to hang with us?"

"What do you guys think? I can tell she wants it bad. Oh don't look so grumpy bee you know I'm not just gonna let her be one of us we have to see how well she plays first." Eli said smirking

Fitz Chuckled "Alright let's give her a shot than everyone agree?"

They all nodded and Eli smirked "Ok, You guys go on to practice I need to have a word with Alli."

The guys did their handshake and Eli gave Bianca and Fiona a hug before draping an arm over Alli's shoulder as they headed in the opposite direction.

A/N: So? I know it's not that great =/ but Let me know what you think! Things are just getting started their gonna get a lot better in future chapters i promise!

Next Chapter there will be a lot more Eclare and maybe some steaminess ;)
