So here it is chapter 2!Yay! Sorry that this one is kind of short i promise that the next one will be longer
I hope you like it.
DISCLAIMER Oh Degrassi how i wished i owned you, but i don't. None of the characters or anything!
"CLARE! What were you doing! Have you forgotten that purity ring on your finger?"
"No mother I have not forgotten about the ring you forced on mine and my sister's finger!"
"Clare, you don't mean that and you know it." Eli whispers in my ear, I suppose he is right but…
"Eli, I do not think this is any of your business really. This is between me and my daughter." My mom practically yells. Eli doesn't deserve that. This is my fault. I should take the blame.
"Mom it isn't Eli's fault. It's mine. I wanted to do it. He didn't do anything to me!" I say trying to reason with her. Defending Eli will probably make my plan even more convincing anyway. I guess working on Space Awakening was a good idea after all, if it means i can pick up acting skills.
"I am just going to go make dinner now, try not to commit any sins while I'm gone." My mom says as she seemingly examines the design on the floor. She can't even look at me, let alone look at Eli.
It's Perfect.

So this is… awkward. The ghost of silence is circling our heads. No one really has anything to say. My mom is pushing the food around on her plate with a knife and fork. My dad is just staring at is plate. He looks up every few minutes as if wanting to say something but he doesn't. When my dad got home before he seemed to take a liking to Eli. After he went in the kitchen with mom that seemed to have changed. I guess I have to be the one to break the silence.
"Mom, thank you so much for letting Eli come over" She just gives me a curt nod of her head.
My dad decides to take this as a chance to grill Eli with questions. "So Eli, How do you and Clare know each other?"
"We're in English class together. She's one of the smartest even though she is younger." Awww that was sweet. And Eli seems relieved one of them finally said something. Maybe they will get along after all. Who wouldn't want to know Eli?
Then I see it. It lights a fire in my heart. My parents are glaring at each other. I can tell they don't want to be anywhere near each other. It's not fair why can't they be happy? And why are they doing this to me? But at least I know how to make it better.
"And I have a wonderful editor when we aren't skipping class." Ha I wonder how they will react to that one.
"So Eli what do your parents do?" Dammit. I guess she decided to ignore that one. It's not like she wouldn't make a scene in front of Eli if she were mad.
Eli opened his mouth to answer but I cut him off "Eli's dad is a shock jock. The Bullfrog on Solid Rock 98, that station you hate." He would always bitch about that station when I was 12, after he saw Spinner and Darcy parked outside our house listening to it. Darcy seemed bothered by it but Spinner loved it. I guess it goes against their traditional Christian values.
Eli's face fell. He just looked at me with wide eyed scared of how my dad would react. To his but not my relief he says "I bet your home life must be colorful". Even a comment like that gave Eli relief. Why won't my parents just get mad!
To Eli's dismay I cut him off again." Less colorful more black. Eli even drives that hearse outside."
"Well I guess now we should get started, Eli do you want to thank the lord for this meal?" Oh god now this is going to piss my mother off.
"Oh, Did I forget to mention? Eli is an atheist." Well now it's awkward. Perfect. My parents are going to be so mad. Maybe now they won't get a divorce. As long as they are mad at me, they won't be mad at each other.
"Umm yes well I'll do it then." As my mom thanks Jesus, I start popping grapes in my mouth completely satisfied with myself. Eating before thanking God, that's got to be a sin right?
So whadya think? I know it wasnt the best but you know what would be awesome?
