Hey all I am so sorry, I was supposed to have this out well technically yesterday but I have been in such shock by the bomb Degrassi dropped on us the other night that I completely forgot. Anyway here is the next chapter, hope you enjoy!

Chapter 4

"Dude, what the hell were you thinking?" Adam asked as Eli entered their dorm room

"What? No Hi how was your first day of classes' roomie?" Eli smirked

"I just had to listen to a hysterical Clare ranting on for a solid twenty minutes about how you agreed to go on a date with her roommate!" Adam shot him a questioning look

"Oh that? That's nothing" the dark haired boy said calmly as he threw his bag on the ground. "But just out of curiosity, what did Clare say exactly?"

"I couldn't really make out most of it through her shrieking and speed rambling, but all I know is she's upset, and something about you, Imogen and a date!"

"Don't worry Grasshopper; I am not going out with that Imogen girl. I only agreed to go out with her to get a rise out of Clare. Turns out you were right, she does still have feelings for me" Eli said plopping onto his bed, placing his arms behind his head.

"Dude that's so cruel, that poor girl thinks you're going on a date with her and not to mention how Imogen is going to feel when you cancel on her."

"No worries bro, Imogen was in on the entire thing. I ran into her last night at the vending machines and we got to talking. That's when I found out she was Clare's roommate. So when she mentioned that her and Clare had the same first period; I remembered what you had said about Clare still liking me. That's when we devised a plan to find out. You know Imogen was pretty convincing."

"You do know when Clare finds out, she is going to be pissed"

"That's why she isn't going to find out!" Eli said leaning on his elbow and shooting Adam a stern look

"Well when this all blows up in your face, just remember I told you so!

"See that's where you're wrong! You my friend are going to help me with my plan"

"No, no way. I am not getting drug into your half brain scheme to get my best friend to go out with you again. Why don't you just go up to her like a normal person would and ask her out?" Adam quizzed

"Oh where is the fun in that?!" Eli retorted

"Fine, but if this backfires I was in no way, shape, or form a part of this!"

"Agreed!"

"So what exactly is your plan?" Adam asked

"Well, I don't actually have one yet, but when I do you will be the first to know" Eli smirked

Adam rolled his eyes at Eli when suddenly Clare burst through their door.

"Speak of the Devil" Eli said sitting upright

"And what is that supposed to mean?" Clare asked looking at Adam

Adam, a little too frightened to answer just shrugged.

"So what do we owe the pleasure of your visit Clare?" Eli smirked

"How could you agree to go out with Imogen? Especially right in front of me!" Clare Screeched

"Um, yeah, that's my cue to go" Adam said sneaking past Clare before disappearing down the hall

"I didn't know I had to check with you before I asked someone out" Eli responded

"That's not what I'm saying" Clare stammered, her cheeks beginning to turn red from frustration

"You know Clare; you are cute when you're angry" The boy with the fierce green eyes smirked

"You know I actually thought this year was going to be different. We finally got past the whole Drew and Julia thing; I thought we were going to be friends again. But then, then you go and pull a stunt like today and I don't know what to think anymore." Clare said as she paced the room tiny tears began to run down her cheeks

"Clare" Eli said standing up a placing his hands on both of her arms to stop her pacing "if I would have known you were going to get this upset over saying yes to hanging out with Imogen I would have said no!"

"I have to go" Clare said turning for the door

"Wait" Eli said grabbing Clare's hand pulling her close to him. "it was all a setup" he said staring into her crystal blue eyes.

"What are you talking about Eli?"

"I asked Imogen to ask me out to see how you would react"

"Why would you do such a thing?" Clare questioned

"Because I … I still have feelings for you, and judging from your reaction today, you still have feelings for me as well"

Before Clare could respond Eli gently grabbed her chin, tilting her face upward he pressed his lips to hers. Clare returned the kiss as Eli deepened the kiss pulling her neck toward him.

"Whoa" Clare exclaimed when they pulled away, both of them breathing heavily.

Eli walked over and closed the door to the room before returning to Clare with a passionate kiss. Slowly he walked Clare toward his bed mid kiss before he softly pushed her onto the bed. She let out a slight giggle as Eli climbed on top of her.

"You are so beautiful" Eli said looking down at Clare as he brushed a curl from her face. Clare's face became flush once again as she leaned up onto her elbow and placed her lips to his.

"I've decided that this is my room too" Adam said as he barged through the door. Both Eli and Clare turned in shock to see Adam standing there with his mouth hanging open.

"Well this is awkward" Adam said

"Yeah, I was just leaving" Clare replied as she pushed Eli off of her sprinting for the door

"Dude!" Adam exclaimed with a tone of shock and confusion.

"Cock block" Eli said throwing a pillow at his roommate before leaving the room.

"What the hell?" Adam asked himself shaking his head

Much love
