Clare's POV

After Eli left my house about an hour later I took a shower and finished the rest of my homework that I needed to get done. I'm so excited, the dance is in three days! I still don't have a dress but Alli and I are going to the mall to go dress hunting. Tomorrow is going to be very interesting, with that thought I went to bed hoping for sweet dreams.

.

Next morning

You know how I was hoping for sweet dreams, well I got them. But the most odd thing about it was that I was dreaming about Eli, I never dreamed about him before. But what had happened in my dream last night is something that will remain a secrete, but to give you a little hint it was pretty steamy in my perspective. I got out of bed and got ready for school, when I was done getting ready I said goodbye to my dad and left on foot towards Degrassi high school.

.

When I got to school I was walking up the steps when I hear someone crying, I walked towards were I heard the crying from and found Jenna Middleton crying into her hands. I walked up to her and sat down on the bench next to her and tapped her shoulder trying to get her to look at me.

"Jenna?"

"Clare-bear? Is that you?" she asked.

"Yeah. What happened? Why are you crying?" I asked concerned.

"KC broke up with me because I'm pregnant." she broke out crying again and I pulled her into a hug and she cried into my shoulder.

"What and ass-hole! Why would he do that?" This explains so...much, he only wanted to be with me again because Jenna is pregnant! WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE THESE DAYS? ESPECAILLY GUYS?

"Because he just got his life back to normal and he didn't want a baby ruining things, that's why."

"THAT JERK! He has no right to do that to you, he is as responsible for that baby as you are, he should be by your side not running away because things are getting tough." I stated angrily.

"I know right! Why are you helping me Clare-bear, after everything that I did to you last year, you should hate me!" she exclaimed.

"Jenna that is in the past and this is the present, so I'm willing to forget if you are and move on."

"Yeah, I want to forget because I miss you as a friend Clare-bear." she said and I pulled her into another hug.

"I missed you too Jenna, want to get inside before were late for Ms. Oh's class?" I asked getting up from the bench as Jenna did and locked arms and walked into Degrassi.

The day went on like it usually did and then soon enough the end of the day had came and I was walking to my locker to get what I needed for homework. When I closed my locker door Eli was standing their and scared the crap out of me! How did I not notice him walk up to my locker?

"Hey Eli, thanks for the heart attack!"

"Only for you blue eyes, ready to go?" he asked.

"Sorry Eli, I'm going dress shopping with Alli."

"Have fun dress shopping, talk to you later Clare." he said and left towards the schools front doors to lead him to the school parking lot.

"CLARRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE..." I heard Alli yell from down the hallway walking towards my locker.

"Hey Alli, is you brother ready to drive us to the mall?" I asked.

"Yup, and I've heard that you and Jenna have made up? Is that true?"

"Yeah. We made up this morning why?"

"Well before we were talking and she was all excited that you and her were talking again." she stated and then Jenna came walking down the hallway and I waved her to come over towards us.

"Yeah its in the past. Hey Jenna do you want to come with me and Alli dress shopping for the dance Friday?"

"Really? I would love to!" she said with a smile and hugged me and Alli and we walked out of Degrassi and headed for Sav's car( his moms) were he was waiting for us.

"Okay Sav, to the mall!" Alli said and hopped into the front seat and Jenna and I sat in the back.

.

We all went into about three stores and found nothing we really liked, so we went into Sears to see if they had any thing that we might like. When we got their they had a decent selection of dresses and then I saw the perfect one for me. It's a pink strapless dress with black roses that goes from the bottom left corner of the dress to about mid stomach. Jenna found a nice blue dress that sparkles and Alli found a tight hot pink dress that has a bow on the side with a few large rhinestones on it.

"Thank goodness we found our dresses! Lets go to the food court and get something to eat." I suggested.

"Yeah." said Alli.

"Okay." said Jenna and we walked to the food court and got pizza from Mario's pizzeria. After we ate Sav came back to the mall and picked us up and dropped Jenna and I off at our houses.

When I got into my house I walked to the kitchen to see a note on the counter.

Dear Clare,

I have to work late again honey, the office has been really busy lately. I'm sorry I'll see you in the morning, sweet dreams.

I read aloud "Love Dad." yeah right, might as well have mom here this week because she would actually be here instead of working 24/7.

I walked up to my room and went on my laptop to start typing my history essay due Friday, I had already written it down I just like to type I so it looks neater.

DING

I looked at the bottom of the screen to see that I got and IM from non other thank Eli.

Clare-e23: yeah night!

I closed my laptop and walked over to my bed and lied down and let out a long sigh. I can't wait till Friday, only if the day would come sooner. I turned on my side to turn off my lamp and got comfortable on my bed and closed my eyes.

"Crash!"

Ooooohhhhh...a cliffy eh? What is going to happen? Clare's all alone at home and a huge crash sound comes from down stairs! Is there an intruder in the Edwards' household? I'm not so sure myself at the moment, so who wants to help me figure this thing out? sorry if their is any mistakes but i wanted t update because i haven't in a while.
