Eli POV

I had just gotten to school when the bell rang

"crap I'm gonna be late" I started speed walking into the building when I collided with someone

"OW watch it will ya" a girls voice said

"OH…Hi….Eli right?" I looked up and saw I had run into Jenna

"yea, sorry" I apologized. I mean I did knock her to the ground. I extended my hand and helped her up. I was walking past her when she grabbed my wrist,

"Look please don't tell Clare what you saw yesterday, it meant nothing. KC is not cheating on Clare." She pleaded.

"look I don't plan on getting involved with degrassi drama, its none of my business Clare is my English partner nothing else her personal life is no concern of mine" I lied through my teeth but luckily she didn't see that.

"oh ok thanks….." she kissed me on the cheek and walked away. I turned back to walk into the building and see none other than Clare she kind of made a disgusted face, rolled her eyes and kept walking.

"what was this girls problem" I thought to myself…I didn't know but I was going to find out!

I had a spare period right before lunch. I saw Clare go into a classroom before the bell so I knocked on the door and said

"excuse me Principal Simpson needs to see Clare Edwards." I could hear the OOHHHHSS as a confused Clare made her way out of the classroom.

"why does simpson need to see me" she asked nervously it was cute to be honest.

"he doesn't I just needed to talk to you" I had a hint of smugness in my voice. She looked angry and tried to walk away but I grabbed her arm and took her into an empty classroom.

"what are you doing" she had venom in her voice

"now Clare I knew you didn't like me but I never thought you hated me" I said sarcastically answering her venomous tone of voice

"what are you talking about" her voice no longer angry just really annoyed

"why do you hate me so much. what have I done to you….besides compliment and make you blush" I added acting slightly smug.

"first of all…" she began her tone inching toward venomous again

" I don't hate anyone, but your right I don't like you very much"

"ouch" I said full of sarcasm but it really did hurt a little.

"can I ask why" I asked

"I don't like people who are smug and cocky and think that sarcasm will get them through life." She said as a matter of factly. I stated to speak but then she started again

"and btw I saw you and jenna and that is a mistake waiting to happen. She is a backstabbing train wreck" the venom in her voice was back.

"Clare I don't know what you thought you saw but Im not interested in Jenna, besides so What if I was why would you care?" After I said that she looked uncomfortable. I regretted it but didn't apologize.

"it has nothing to do with you. you wouldn't understand" She said she tried to walk away but I put my hand on her shoulder, all sarcasm gone and said

"try me"

"no forget I said anything I have to go" she said as she headed back to class.

I stood there once again dumfounded. I had figured out two things.

Clare did not like me

She was not as together as she seemed

I decided not to tell her about the incident at the Dot she seemed to have a lot on her plate.

The day dragged on. By the time I got to English she was already there with her nose in a book….Typical Clare..I had come to see. I sat down and took out a sheet of notebook paper and wrote on it

Clare:

I know I am not your favorite person in the world, but if you ever want to talk or just need a friend

You can call me at (insert Canadian number here…im from Pennsylvania so I have no idea LOL)

Eli

I tossed the note behind me. I heard her unfold it. She gave me a strange look and just shook her head. I saw her blush slightly.

"yes" I thought to myself.

We worked on individual assignments so I didn't get to talk to her today. The bell rang and I got out the door first for a change. I heard someone catch up to me

"Eli..wait up" I stopped and turned around and saw Clare walking up to me my heartbeat was quickening

"dude chill" I told myself

"hey I read the note and thanks" she looked at me and I got a great view of her blue eyes. She quickly looked to her feet and walked away.

"Clare" I called after her…" I Meant what I wrote…ok?"

She nodded and headed out the door. I saw walk up to KC and her Indian friend Ali think her name was.

I ran into Adam who again was within ear shot of mine and Clare's conversation.

"was I hallucinating or did Clare not totally blow you off today" Adam said through a slight chuckle that was laced with disbelief.

"no she didn't I was as shocked as you" I said truthfully

"so whats going on with you two then?" Adam raised his eyebrows suggestively

"absolutely nothing" I said to Adams disappointment, but I quickly added

"for now" I watched as she went over to KC had hugged him.

Clare POV

I had just said goodbye to KC and Ali and I were walking home.

"so I have to tell you about the impromptu meeting between Eli and I today" I said

"omg….what! why am I just hearing about this" she squealed. Leave it to Ali to over react when I mention a boys name.

"Ali chill, its nothing like that he pulled me out of class so he could ask me why I hated him"

Ali stopped and turned around "and what did you tell him…." She questioned

"I told him I didn't hate him because I don't hate anyone….but he was right I didn't like him, he asked why and I told him flat out I didn't like his smugness or his 24/7 sarcastic attitude." I replied Ali started walking again

"OH and I told him kissing jenna was a mistake shes a train wreck waiting to happen" Ali skidded to a halt whirled around and grabbed my shoulder….

"WHAT eli kissed that…..that…ugh" Ali was lost for words like I was when I saw it

"actually jenna kissed him on the cheek but he didn't exactly push her away" I said.

"Do you think they like each other" Ali asked cautiously

"Eli told me that Whatever I thought I saw was not what happened, then he proceeded to ask why I even care…I told he wouldn't understand and walked back to class." I answered

Ali Started to speak but I beat her too it. "Also in English he gave me a note" I pulled it out and showed it to her. She squealed.

"must you do that" I said sarcastically.

" I KNEW he liked you" Ali said

"even if he does IM WITH KC remember" I pointed out.

Ali's smile disappeared. " oh yea….right" she and I talked about homework the rest of the way. I intentionally avoided guys. It was not a safe topic for us. I got to my front door and said goodbye to Ali.

I walked in and as usually there was quiet bickering in the background

"Randall this is ridiculous we HAVE to talk, how are we supposed to fix this if your never here"

"well Im sorry if I am busy Keeping a roof over your head!"

I slammed the door as I walked in. The fighting ceased and my parents entered the living room

"hey Clare how was your day" my dad asked

"fine" I told them I had a ton of homework to do so I headed up to by room. I dumped the contents of my bag onto my bed. My gaze fell on the crumpled up paper on my English book. I opened it and smiled,

I put the paper in my desk drawer. Normally I would have thrown it away but he really seemed sincere for the first time since I met him. I had to admit that when he wasn't being such a sarcastic jerk he could be really sweet.

"wait what am I thinking….bad thought clare BAD thought" I scolded myself. I walked over to my desk and picked up a picture of me and KC at the dance where we first got together. We looked so happy. I looked at all our pictures and the more recent ones I looked the same but he seemed so distant, I didn't understand why. It was hurting me.

I Picked up the phone and dialed KC's number I had to know why hes been so distant. I got his voicemail which was strange because we had just seen him 10 min ago. I left him a voicemail saying to call me back it was important.

It was 9 pm and KC still hadn't called me back. It was really strange. I was about to call again when I heard a PIINNG on my laptop. It was KC

KCG: Clare can you meet me at the park before school we need to talk.

ClareE: Sure is anything wrong?

KCG: I don't want to talk on here, just meet me at the park around 6…ok?

ClareE: ok?

KCG has signed off.

I decided that if I had to be up early I was gonna get to bed. I was really confused about what KC had to talk to me about. He never initiated a serious talk before so this had to be big. I thought about what he could have to say as I fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up and started getting ready. At about 530 I headed to the park. I saw KC on the bench and he looked awful

"KC are you okay" I said I tried to hug him but he pushed me away.

"Clare you Know I really care about you right" He started all color drained from his face

"yea…KC whats going on your scaring me" I said

"I cheated on you…..it was a stupid mistake and I can't take it back I am SOO sorry" He rushed his words

"WHO" I said my heart breaking not really wanting to know.

"Jenna" he said in a small voice…..

I exploded "YOU SLEPT WITH THAT BACKSTABBING SLUT"

He looked taken aback I had never spoken like that to or about anyone. I started to walk away he follows me.

"Clare please it was an honest mistake I was drunk and she seduced me….please it meant NOTHING" I turned to face him

"WHAT DOYOU WANT ME SAY KC….. THAT ITS ALRIGHT BECAUSE YOU WERE DRUNK…NO ITS NOT ALRIGHT, YOU KNEW SHE WAS TRYING TO STEAL YOU FROM ME, YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THAN TO DRINK WITH HER" I was screaming at this point tears escaped my eyes, He brushed them away.

"please Clare please forgive me…" I started to walk away "Wait Clare please…..I love you" He looked shocked at what he just said. I was just as surprised. He had never said that before and THIS is how he says it….UGH HE RUINED IT! I thought to myself.

""KC how dare you say you love me after this….." I was getting really mad I had to walk away

"KC we will finish this after school." I walked away with a mix of emotions Heartbreak/Confusion/Rage

I got to school and avoided everyone. It was best that way. I also skipped English because Eli would know something was wrong. He seemed to know exactly what was going on in my head. Idecided I would used that time to think about what to say to KC later that day. I headed to my first class and started what I could already tell would be a very trying day.
