Author's Note: Ohmigawd. I know most of you probably don't care, but I'm going to the Degrassi premiere thingy that's going on on Monday. And I'm gonna like cry. When my mom said yes, it made me want to write some wonderful fanfiction, so here's another chapter while I cry. xD thanks for reading and reviewing! This chapters gonna be a tad shorter, but the next one will be longer.

Clare's POV

I woke up in Jake's arms. It was still very dark out, so I checked my phone. 4:23am. I'd have to get up in a few hours for school, but I wasn't ready yet. And the couch with Jake was pretty uncomfortable, so I carefully got up and went to my room to sleep a while longer.

Before I knew it, it was time to get up again. I heard my mom and Jake downstairs as I put my uniform on.

"Are you feeling better, Jake? I see you've got yourself a bruise. I apologize for Eli; sometimes he's not the smartest boy. And Clare is so sorry too."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Edwards. I'll be okay, thank you for everything."

I walked downstairs and said to Jake, "We should probably get going. How's your mouth feeling?"

He told me that it was fine, and only hurt a little.

I hope that he and Eli don't have any more encounters like this one. If Eli was planning on being with me again, he'd have to change his attitude. Yeah, Jake and I were kissing. But really – it wasn't any of his business. We're still broken up at the moment anyway.

Jake and I didn't hold hands today. He didn't really talk much either. It could have been because he was tired, didn't feel good, or whatever other reason, but I had a feeling that it was my fault. When I was talking to Eli last night, I technically called our kiss "nothing" and I see how that could be offensive to him.

We got to school and Eli was with Imogen again – on his motorcycle. She seemed completely enthralled by it. Or at least pretended to be. Every time I saw them together, an immense feeling of jealousy spread over me.

Why do I have to still like him? And why do I have to like Jake at the same time? It's so terrible to lead Jake on while I still have feelings for Eli. It's unfair to both of them. Why does this have to happen to me?

I decided I had to make some sort of conversation with Jake. We were awkwardly walking silently.

"So Jake, why did you move back here?" He hesitated for a moment.

"My parents got a divorce, and I'll be living with my mom. She wanted to come here." I gasped. His parents too?

"Really? My parents are too…" He looked at me.

"What? Your parents were always so perfect though."

"So were yours. I can't believe that both of our parents are getting divorced. At the same time." We had so much in common. We talked a few more minutes on the subject until we both had enough. It's hard to talk about something like that for too long.

The day was just like the last few. I walked with Alli and Jake and sat With Jake at lunch like usual. Today, Alli joined us. She was talkative so there wasn't a dull moment today.

In English, Eli tried to talk to me. It was his only time during the school day that he could, that is, if he was to avoid Jake.

"Clare…about yesterday. I'm so sorry. I was just so angry and you know I have trouble with that. I'm planning on apologizing to Jake too, really." He looked so sad. I couldn't be mean when he was sad.

"Its, uh, okay I guess. Just apologize to him, seriously."

"Can we still do something after school today?" I grinned. I didn't want to turn him down again. Also, I really did want to see him after school. Why not just go for it?

"Of course, Eli."

Author's Note: ohohoho, what are they gonna do after school? Anyway, I have to go for now but I'll add another chapter in a bit! Reviewsreviewsreviews my friends. Xoxoxo. :D
