Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi

A/N: Hey guys thanks for your reviews! I'm sorry it took so long to update but I kept debating back and forth on how to do a scene in this chapter and after a few days I finally decided which way to go with it. So anyways here's chapter 2.

Eli and Alli walked towards the front doors of Degrassi. Once they got there and Eli held the door open for her Alli spoke.

"So what's up Eli?"

"I need you to find Clare right now and ask her if she wants to come to the game tonight and then hang with us after. You can tell her this is her chance but nothing else clear?"

"Got it" Alli said nodding and heading out of the school as Eli went to practice.

Clare sat at the dot with headphones in her ears and book in her hands. She sipped her tea and was just getting to her favorite part when she suddenly felt someone tap her shoulder.

She looked behind her and noticed it was Alli. She pulled her ear phones out and smiled. "Hey Alli"

"Hey Clare. Do you mind?" She asked gesturing to the other empty seat at Clare's table.

"No no not at all sit" Alli smiled and sat down across from Clare.

"So what's up?"

"Well you know the big game is tonight and the crew and I were wondering if you wanted to come. Maybe hang afterwards?"

Clare's eyes widened and a little smile lit up her face.

"Really? No joke?'

"Really" Alli nodded "And… ok I'm under strict instructions from Eli himself but he is letting me tell you this. Tonight's you chance Clare."

"Alli are you serious?" Clare asked excitedly

"Yeah after the game"

"Oh my gosh Alli… What do I wear?"

Alli chuckled and checked her watch ""We've still got time before the game. I could help you pick something out if you want?

Clare nodded and the girls grabbed their stuff and headed to Clare's house.

XxXxXxXxXxXxX

"Your house is really nice Clare" Alli said as she browsed through her closet.

"Thanks"

"Alli are you sure I look ok?" Clare asked again as she looked at her self in her full length body mirror.

Alli went and sat on her bed. "Clare you look great! I'm sure Eli's gonna love it" she said with a wink.

Clare blushed and smiled "And your sure this is ok for whatever were doing later?"

"Clare you know I can't tell you anymore" Alli laughed

"Alli please just one hint! Please!"

"Alright but don't tell Eli I told you ok?"

"Promise"

"Your gonna be getting a little wet"

"Clare's eyes widened for a sec but she relaxed "Ok… so I'm fine than?"

"You're good! And the cute little corset style bra and panties set was a good idea"

Clare blushed again and looked herself over one more time. She wore a white corset bra and lace panties. A tan button up blouse and a black floral skirt with black flats. She had on a thin coat of eyeliner and blush with a touch of mascara and lip gloss.

"Ok are you ready?" Alli asked.

Clare smiled and nodded. She grabbed her bag off her bed and her and Alli headed to the game.

When they arrived at the game the band was playing, the team was on the field with Coach Armstrong and all that could be heard being chanted by the fans.

"Eli, Eli, Eli"

Clare smiled as her and Alli made their way up the bleachers to where Bianca and Fiona were siting.

"Hey Guys" Alli said as her and Clare sat down. "Bee you know Clare. Fi this is Clare"

Bianca gave Clare a fake smile and resumed watching the game while Fiona gave her a real smile and extended her hand.

"Fiona Coyne" Clare smiled and shook her hand "Clare Edwards" she said as they got settled and began to watch the game.

Now one would think that because of the Eli dressed in all black and had his hair swooped to the side and wore lots of rings and such that he wouldn't be too athletic or great at sports. But he was.

Watching Eli play football was really a beautiful experience. He was so graceful and amayzing on the field. He was like the school hero and Clare couldn't help but be memorized by him.

By the last few seconds of the game the score was tied 52 to 52 and Degrassi had the ball all they needed to do was score to win.

Alli and Bianca were yelling and the Eli chants started once again. As the huddle of boys broke and got ready to get in position Eli looked at the crowed and winked before putting his helmet on making several girls swoon and melt.

"Stupid whores" Clare looked over at Bianca who was scowling.

"Bee come on you gotta let it go already. You and Eli have been over for months." Alli said placing a hand on the girl's shoulder.

Clare gasp slightly. Eli and Bianca had been dating? The crowed erupting in massive applause brought Clare back to reality. Alli gripped Clare's shoulder and screamed. "Clare we won!"

The girls embraced each other and as they hugged Clare could see the football team hoist Eli up and began to cheer his name as they headed towards the locker rooms.

"Well see you guys in a bit" Alli said to Fiona and Bee as she started pulling Clare down the bleachers. Clare gave her a confused look so Alli told her "were gonna be riding with Eli and Fitz."

Alli and Clare waited by Eli's infamous black hearse morty while the guys got changed. Clare was nervously fidgeting with her hands and biting her lip.

"Clare it will be fine just relax" Alli said nudging her shoulder.

"I know just nerves. It's not gonna be anything to extreme right?"

Alli laughed "No Clare, were not gonna kill you."

Clare gave her a small chuckle "And how do I know if I'm in for sure?"

"Eli decides, Speak of the handsome devil himself." Alli smiled and nodded her head towards the field and Clare blushed as she Eli and Fitz approaching. They were laughing about something and Clare couldn't help but stare as Eli smiled.

"Well Well hey Alli and Clare" Fitz said when they got to the car. Clare gave Fitz a small smile but felt a bit uncomfortable as he eyed her body up and down While Alli smiled and greeted the guys each with a hug.

Clare watched as Alli let Eli go and he than glanced up at her while unlocking the back of morty for them. He gave her a smirk "Hey Clare"

She smiled and tried not to blush as she said "Hey Eli"

After her and Alli were situated in the back Eli and Fitz got in front Eli started up the engine and sped out of the parking lot.

The drive was mostly silent. The only noise really was Fitz telling Eli about what an asshole his dad is and Eli's rock music on low.

As they drove farther and farther away from town Clare kept trying to get any clue about where they were going but so far no luck.

She stared out the window as they started to get into the woods and saw out of the corner of her eye as Eli glanced at her a couple times though his review mirror a smirk on his face.

They drove for about 20 more minutes before Eli finally pulled up to this huge lake with a waterfall and a high cliff. Eli cut his engine and Clare looked out her window and noticed a shiny silver pickup truck not too far away.

Eli and Fitz got out and Fitz whistled as Eli went around to the back to let Clare and Alli out. When they stepped out Clare noticed that the rest of the crew was here standing with Fitz.

She and Alli slowly made their way over and Alli went to Drew's side and gave him a quick kiss while Clare stood next to Fitz as they waited for Eli to lock up morty and join them.

Once he joined them Fitz spoke "So Clare you wanna be one of us do you?"

"Yes" She said nervously

"How bad do you want it?" Drew asked

"More than anything" She answered

"Well there's only one thing you have to do" Fitz said

All eyes turned to Eli and Clare watched as his eyes drifted up to the cliff and then back to her.

"Make the jump" was all he said and Clare gulped as she looked back at the cliff and then at everyone around her. She wanted this so much. She could do it. Yes she was a little scared of heights and the water was probably cold but right now she had to be tough. She couldn't look stupid in front of them or childish she could do it.

She locked eyes with Eli and smiled "Alright. I'll do it."

Fitz and Alli lead Clare up through the woods to reach the cliff. When they reached it she walked to the edge and looked down. It was scary she wasn't gonna lie but then she saw Eli and the rest of them down there and she took a deep breath.

"You'll be fine Clare" Alli's voice broke her thoughts and she gave her a small smile before she got ready to jump.

"Umm are you sure you wanna get your clothes wet?"

"What do you mean?"

"You could jump in your underwear" Fitz said with a grin

Clare looked behind Fitz to Alli who just nodded to go along with it. Clare blushed and rolled her eyes slightly. "Fine"

As she slipped off her shoes and started to undo her top she heard whistles and noises from down by the lake and she knew that everyone down their including Eli could see.

Once she stripped she walked toward the edge of the cliff. She was about to jump when she heard Bianca's voice "Hey Fitz why do you give her a good luck kiss!" She blushed as she felt Fitz come up behind her and grab her waist. He pressed his lips to hers and she tried not to push him away. The kiss was sloppy and gross.

When he pulled back he just grinned and Clare put on a fake smile as she got ready to jump right before she did she locked eyes with Eli and she frowned as she saw his face. It was emotionless but she swore there was something else there like… Jealousy?

XxXxXxXxXxXxX

An hour later everyone was swimming in the lake with Clare except Eli. They had music going, a fire with a couple logs to sit on and of course lots and lots of beer. Clare watched as Eli just sat by the fire a beer in hand like he was lost in his own world.

He hadn't talked to her since before the jump and she wondered if she did something wrong.

She was heading out of the water when Fitz caught her around the waist. "Come on Clare what do you say me and you take a walk in the woods and "explore" nature a bit"

Clare rolled her eyes Fitz had been trying to get her alone all night and she had rejected him twice already. She knew she had to be nice though because he was Eli's best friend. She put on a sweet smile and said "No I don't think so Fitz" and walked off right after

She slowly walked towards the fire where Eli was sitting and when he didn't notice her she cleared her throat lightly and said "Hey"

"He looked up and smirked slightly "Hey Clare... Sit down" He said gesturing to the spot next to him.

Clare smiled and went to sit next to him. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, yeah just thinking about the game" He said sipping his beer

"You were really amayzing" Clare said giving him a small smile and shivering slightly.

Eli smiled back "Thank you"

"Are you cold?" He asked noticing her shivers and got up starting to pull his blazer off.

"Oh no its fine" Clare started to say but Eli interrupted her.

"No no I insist its ok Clare" He said placing the blazer on her shoulders.

"Better?" he asked

"She smiled "Much"

A silence fell between them as they both watched the fire and Eli continued to sip his beer.

After about 5 minutes Eli broke the silence

"Welcome to the crew Clare"

Clare looked up at him and smiled wide and blushed "Thank you Eli"

They locked eyes and Eli slowly reached up and brushed a stray curl out of her face and then cupped her face as he lent in. Clare could feel his warm breath on her lips and her heart beat sped up as Eli captured her lips.
