Two short chapters equal one long one! Hehe....yeah.....

I like writing Alli! But sorry if anyone *cough*everyone*cough* is OOC, that's just how I roll C:

Clare was dreading going to school on Monday. She tried faking sick to get out, but she had always been a bad liar. So, she found herself standing next to Alli at the Degrassi entrance. Alli was openly staring at Peter, who was sitting on the steps.

"Alli stop! I never should have told you!"

Alli shook her head and turned to Clare excitedly. "It's good you told me! Or else you wouldn't know he liked you back!"

Clare's eyes practically popped out of her head. "No way!"

Alli nodded. "Now go!" She proceeded to start pushing Clare over to Peter.

Clare wiggled away. "I can't!"

"Why not?"

Clare shrugged. Then, the bell rang and Clare practically ran inside, heart pounding. There was no way he liked her back! No way….

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Peter watched as Clare ran inside. "See dude? She doesn't like me!"

Sav rolled his eyes. "Don't you remember when you were that young?"

"You make it sound like I could be her father!" Peter yelled.

Sav laughed. "You know I don't mean it like that. It's just….you are older."

Peter glared. "You suck at this."

Clare walked with Alli to the Dot in a better mood. Alli hadn't forced Clare over to Peter, and KC had been sick. Clare wasn't one to wish that people were sick, but she was relieved when he wasn't at school. She didn't know how she could face him. Especially now. She liked two guys! One was a senior and the other had rejected her! It was all too complicated and Clare wished she'd stuck to her 'only here for learning, no boys' rule.

They walked inside and Clare stopped dead. Peter was there with Sav! Alli tugged Clare along as she made her way to their table. Peter looked up and met Clare's eyes for a second before she turned away.

"Sav, I'm glad you're here!" Alli exclaimed.

"I told you I'd-"

Alli cut off her confused brother. "I have a question to ask you."

Sav raised his eyebrows.

"Alone."

A look of understanding crossed his face and he nodded before standing up. "Ok."

Clare glared at Alli. "Don't you dare!" She hissed.

"It's important!" Alli insisted and she and Sav walked away.

Clare turned towards Peter and blushed. Peter smiled. "Subtle friends."

Clare nodded in agreement and sat down. There was silence before Clare spoke up. "So what do we do about…you know."

Peter sighed. "That depends."

"On what?"

"Do you like me?"

Clare turned beet red and nodded hesitantly.

Peter smiled. "I..like you too."

Clare looked at him in shock. "What?"

Peter rolled his eyes. "Don't act so surprised."

Clare bit her lip and hid a smile. Then, Alli and Sav came back over. Alli was trying to drag Sav away from the two but he was stronger.

"Sorry to break you two up but we have practice." Sav cut in.

"Uhhh no they don't!" Alli insisted.

"Yes we do!" Sav tugged out of Alli's grip and looked at Peter, who nodded.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Peter promised.

"Bye." Clare replied weakly.

Sav and Peter left, but not before Alli yelled, "I hate you!"

Clare glared at her. "You're so evil!"

"But you're so cute together!"

"We're not together."

"Yet!"

Clare knew she wouldn't win this argument so she decided to play along. Alli sat down and they talked about what Clare should do next.

Sav and Peter were talking about the same thing.
