I push through the double doors, trying to find Fitz. He'd made an offer to drive me home on his motorcycle during lunch. Me, being the adrenaline junky, hastily accepted. When I turned the corner to the hallway of Fitz's locker, I pushed Eli's reaction to Fitz out of my mind. Fitz was standing by his locker with an even taller and muscular guy. Once he saw me, he smiles a little and shuts his locker.

"Hey, Charlotte. This is Owen," Fitz shrugs to the guy next to him. Owen hardly glances my way when Fitz introduces me.

"I'll just leave you two alone, to uh, flirt." Owen snickers, and playfully punched Fitz's bicep as he walked away.

"So, uh, you need a ride home?" Fitz asks, not meeting my eyes.

So he's shy? What happened to the Bad Boy side of him?

"Yeah, my ride kind of bailed on me." I say, not wanting to tell Fitz the entire truth about Eli. If what Eli said was true, I didn't want Fitz hating me just because he was my cousin. Okay, so that was really shallow of me to say, but I really really want him to like me.

"Cool, follow me," he says with a sly smile. I follow him out to the parking lot, and I prayed to God that Eli had left the school and didn't plan on staying to fight Fitz. Thankfully, his hearse was nowhere in sight, so I exhaled silently, relieved I wouldn't be breaking up any fight today.

Fitz's motorcycle was sitting in an empty space, with two helmets hanging off a hook on the back.

"Don't you think someone will steal it one day?" I ask with curiosity, since it looked pretty expensive. Fitz looked at me and snickered.

"Everyone knows me enough not to fuck with me," he says in a husky voice.

"Not to fuck with me?" Maybe Eli was right, maybe he is bad news…

Fitz then bent down to unhook the helmets from the back of his motorcycle.

Yes, but bad news that looks sexy in those jeans…

I shook all the thoughts from my head as Fitz handed me a helmet and asked me for my address. I told him my address, then wondered what would happen if he found out Eli lived in the same house I did. What if he saw his hearse in the driveway? Hell would probably break loose. After saying a silent prayer to God asking if Eli had the wits to leave his car in the garage, I climbed onto the narrow seat in back of him.

"Hang on, Charlotte. I don't bite." He says, obviously amused.

I blush, and wrap my arms around his muscular waist. I leaned into his back as he starts his motorcycle, and inhale a whiff of Kilo Axe spray.

Wow, that just made him a thousand times hotter.

We flew out of the Degrassi parking lot and start down the road. I watch as the houses and trees blur by, as if they were a wet watercolor painting. I always loved motorcycles- my father had one when I was thirteen, but he had to sell it to pay our rent. And I especially loved the part when Fitz popped a wheelie about five minutes into the ride.

Was he trying to impress me? Two can play at that game.

With that, I squeeze my arms around his waist even tighter, pulling myself closer to him.

We arrive at my house about five minutes later, and thankfully, Eli's hearse was nowhere to be seen, so I assumed it was in the garage. There was also no sign of Eli and I wanted to keep it that way. I was planning on saying "thanks for the ride" and getting the hell in the house before Eli came out of the house and saw me this close to Fitz. I got off the seat and took off my helmet, trying to tame my curls that seemed to double in size after the fast ride on the motorcycle.

"Enjoy the ride?" Fitz asks with an amused smirk on his face. I felt my face turning a shade of pink as I realized the dirty side to his question.

"Yeah, I love motorcycles," I say as I hand him the helmet. "See you tomorrow?"

"Yes you will," Fitz says before I watched him drive off.

I had a feeling this is going to be a very interesting semester at Degrassi.

Author's Note: So, I did not plan it this way, but Fitz and Charlotte's relationship are almost exactly like Eli and Clare's. Sorry bout that, I'll try to swtich it up for the upcoming chapters. Also, I'm not gonna update for a few days so I can work on my other fanfic. But, in the next chapter, will Fitz learn of Charlotte's family ties with Eli?
