I don't own anything Degrassi, or anything related to it.
Chapter 2
The teacher looked at the paper over my shoulder.
"Ahh, Mr. Goldsworthy, you will be paired up with our newest writer." The teacher said.
He got up and sat in the seat next to me.
"So what do you think you want to write about?" He asked me. I just looked at him.
He doesn't even remember me at all. Like I never existed to him.
"Eli?" I said kind of scared.
"Yeahhh?" He looked kind of confused.
I couldn't bare to look at him, I walked out with all my stuff, crying.
I went straight to the bathroom, went into one of the stalls.
I couldn't believe it. This is where he was, and that girl, is probably his new girlfriend, huh….
Then I heard his voice.
"Clare, go look, I think she's in there."
I guess he remembered who I was after all. I can't face him like this.
I quickly lifted my feet up trying not to let her see me. Not her of all people, I presume.
"Noo, I don't see anything."
I heard him sigh in frustration.
That's Eli for sure. Always upset when things just don't go the way it should.
Then
"Caroline, get out of the stall!" he yelled, if he remembers me, then he knows that's not going to work.
"How do you know she's in there?" Clare asked.
"She is, I know it."
"Caroline, I know what I did was wrong. But come out, I need to talk to you."
I couldn't take it anymore.
I opened the stall door.
"No Eli, if you wanted to talk, then you should have done before you left."
I walked out of the bathroom.
It was lunch, and I had no where to be.
So I sat on one of the benches outside.
And soon he followed me.
"Caroline. Please." He kept begging, and somehow, he always reels me in.
"Ok, Eli." He sat next to me. And soon Clare followed him, but was stopped by Adam.
"Is that your new girlfriend?" I knew the answer. Yes.
He just looked down. He always did that when he didn't want to answer.
"I guess so." I told him.
"Look, I didn't mean for it to happen the way it did." I cut him off.
"So then why did you? Eli, I spent hours trying to understand why you would do that to me. Not much because we were together, but because we were best friends. Best friends since we were 5! And you just leave; leave everything behind, like it didn't even matter to you. Like you didn't care about us."
"I did care!" he claimed.
"Then if you did, then why did you do it!" I tried not to cry.
"I guess I didn't know how."
I could see Clare's face through the glass doors.
"Are you happy with her?"
I didn't want to know, really, but better to find out now.
"Carol, please."
"No, Eli, I spent a year, waiting to hear from you. And now you think apologizing would make it better?"
"I know. Its" I cut him off again.
"You keep claiming that but yet you" He cut me off.
"LISTEN. I loved you. You were not only my girlfriend, but my best friend. What guy wouldn't want that? I wanted to tell you that I was moving but it was just too hard, before I knew it, it was already too late. Understand, please I didn't mean it."
I didn't know what to say.
So I just hugged him.
I still had so much more questions, more anger, but not now.
