What the hell? How did I get here? My story was ONCE again taken as a multi chapter story, if it was gonna be multi chapter, and I probably would've delayed the kiss. But now that I'm thinking, it sounds nice. I can make a good story out of this, "THE RISE AND DOWNFALL OF CLARE EDWARDS!" Yeah, I'm working on it. I guess I'll have to build the wall with what I've got!
Clare woke up from a terrible dream; it was where she had gone all the way with some geek. And the worst part? That geek was Eli Goldsworthy! She looked over to her side table and saw her iPhone beeping uncontrollably with 8 messages and 24 missed calls.
Hey Clare! It's Alli! I heard u and Eli had sex! What the hell is that about? Call me!
-Alli
Clare, I know I don't know u well, but is it true that you slept with Eli Goldsworthy? Plz tell me thanks.
-Chantay
I knew you had it in you! How was your night with Eli? *Troll face*
-Adam
Clare…please call me. This is serious.
-Alli
Alli wanted me to ask u to call her cuz she thinks Ur mad at her.
-Sav
Fitz is gonna kick Eli's ass! Wanna watch?
-Owen
KUH-LARE! ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE!
-Alli
Hello, Gorgeous. Want me to pick u up today?
-Eli
That last text made her heart beat fast, not from flattery, but from the rush she was gonna get when she set Goldsworthy straight. She got up, picked out an outfit, and headed into the bathroom. She wanted to show him what he was missing, but he could still be her ride to school. Wonder what care he drives? She thought. BMW? Volvo? Minivan… Her mind was taken aback when the sound of a horn honked outside. Clare rushed to the window to see a long black hearse parked on the street, Eli was propped up against it, texting. Then her phone vibrated. She ran to it and looked at the screen in awe.
Yo, Rapunzel! Let Ur hair down so I can climb up and save u!
-Eli
She couldn't help but laugh. She grabbed her bag and headed out, her mom and Glen were still on their vacation so she and Jake had the house alone. "Morning, prince charming abides outside." Jake spat. She made a face, you know, the If-I-could-hate-you-a lot-more-than-I-already-do-I-would face. He smirked and threw her an apple. "What? You need the vitamins!" He defended. She grabbed her coat and ignored Jake, knowing though he would make her think of him later. She opened the door and saw Eli standing there, with an apple in his mouth. He opened the passenger door to the car and let her slide in. He went around to the other side and hopped in. "TO DEGRASSI WE RIDE!" He shouted, turning on the radio. She was glad that the sound of Dead Hand blocked out her giggling. She didn't want to give him the wrong impression.
At Degrassi, Clare, Fiona, and Alli walked the halls like models. Waving and making small talk with people around them. They could hear the boys whistle, and the girls smack their gum in jealousy. One person though, didn't give a damn about them, and she was coming towards them. "Well, if it isn't Clare Fartin', Alli Ban douche bag, and Fiona Cunt. How cute!" Imogen whipped her pigtails in happiness at her clever remark. "Imogen Morlezbo! How are you? Still cutting yourself? Must be lovely, you know, letting the blood flow is so invigorating. But get away from though, red isn't my color." Clare shot back. "Is that why you settled for puss yellow today? Sounds nice on you, fits you better than Eli's nuts." Imogen countered. Clare's face dropped. How does everyone know about this? She never told anyone…unless Eli did. But his only friend is Adam! So Adam told someone, and it caught on? They were BOTH dead now. "Excuse me while I barf at your attempt at being smart." Clare made a barfing noise in her hand and pushed Imogen down. The three girls bent down to speak to her. "If you ever do that again…" Fiona started. "You will truly know why we run the halls." Alli spoke. "Bitch." Clare finished, stepping over Imogen's pathetic body.
In lunch, the trio got their trays of food and started for the ramp. It was only for cool people, and jocks were monitoring it ever second to make sure dorks didn't get in. On their way, Dave Turner, or as Clare called him, Dave Virgin, and his friends came up to Clare. "Clare, we just wanted to know if you would like-"Wesley started. "Wait a minute! Is that desperate I smell? Nah, it's the smell of $500 worth of cologne caked on all of you, attempt at being manly, yeah?" Clare commented. Connor was next, "Clare, what happened? We were all best friends until they came along!" Clare laughed. "I'd take pity on you, but that's a waste of pity isn't it?" Alli pushed the boys out of the way, making Dave spill his lunch on himself. They walked up the ramp, and sat down at the table. "Hey, Clare!' Is it true you and Eli did the deed?" Chantay said, turning away from the table with Holly J, Anya, Jenna and the rest of the power squad. "No, and if I did, I was probably drugged by Eli's cookies." Clare said quickly. Maybe that was what happened, maybe Eli drugged the cookies! "Oh…ok." Chantay went back to talking with her friends, making Alli and Fiona question her sanity. "Clare, um, did you REALLY sleep with him?" Clare didn't answer, just rolled her eyes. The truth was, she didn't really know.
Later on, in English class, Eli finally found Clare standing next to the bathroom. "Clare, we need to talk." He said clenching a bouquet of roses. "Don't say those are for me." She looked at the flowers in disgust. "…Uh, no. They're for my, um, my mom." He lied. She smiled, he was cute, but nerdy. "Look, About yesterday, I have no idea what happened. Refresh me?" Clare looked at him with pleading eyes. He grinned and sat down on the floor, patting the spot next to him. She looked at awkwardly, but sat. "Ok, so last night we kissed for awhile. We never got undressed, so I guess it didn't count as sex. After that, I stayed over until you fell asleep, then this guy named Jake walked in and I hid under the bed. He kissed your cheek and turned off the light. I Climbed out of the window when he was gone. Oh, and if you're worried, don't be, I passed my math test." He chuckled, making her laugh. "Well, good. So, look nobody hears about this okay?" He looked at her for a long moment, for any sign of joking, but there was none. "Um, sure. Definitely. Nothing happened." He looked down. "Great, see you tomorrow." She kissed him on the cheek and left the hallway. Eli couldn't help but think, Really? My mom is allergic to roses!
A/N: Well, that's that. I know what the next chapter is gonna be about. Eli invites Clare over to his house for dinner, and she says…yes? Oh, shit! That's some drama right there, am I right? Sorry if I cuss a lot, It's become a habit of mine. Well toodles, noodles!
