I'm sorry this is so late, but I had exams –still do- and honestly I got lazy, and to the person that thought this story was over, it's not close to being over yet. What hasn't happened in the summary yet….so no it's not over still got 10 more chapters to go! and I feel really bad because I was supposed to add stuff to chapter 7 and I never ended up doing that so I hope I'll be able to fit in this chapter somehow…anyways enjoy!
Chapter 9
she was gonna be sick
"I hate November; thank goodness it's almost over….
"You guys know that contest I entered to win those tickets for us?" Bianca asked cutting off Becky and pushing her homework aside for a minute. The girls nodded "I won!" she said excitedly "us three are going to see the fray on January 29th" she said
"The fray is my favorite, Ah!" Becky fangirled
"I can't wait, the boys are gonna be so jealous"
"We'll have to bring them something back." Becky said after the excitement died down the girls got back down to work, doing homework in Becky's room.
"Homework, homework and more homework." Bianca wined hitting her pen on the math textbook.
"Well what do you expect this semester is almost over of course they're going to overload us with homework." Becky said with a little giggle.
"But why is it only the math teacher that gives ten pages of homework?"
"It's only 3 pages B" Clare said finally correcting her closing her book. "And the more you complain the longer it will take to do the work." She stood up leaving Becky's room going down to get herself a drink – you know you're best friends when you just go in to their fridge without asking- as Clare took a cup down from the cupboard Luke came down from his room.
"Oh hey, Clare." He said.
"Uh, hi, Luke." She said with a smile filling up her cup with some juice in the jug from the fridge. She went to put the jug back but Luke took it from her filling up a cup full for himself.
"So, uh…" he started closing the fridge making Clare turn around
"Yeah?" She said taking a sip.
"Do you um maybe want to go out with me sometime?" he asked Clare almost choked on her drink.
"Oh…I uh have a boyfriend." She told him
"Are you just saying that cause you don't want to?" he said looking down.
"No I'm not just saying that, I do really have a boyfriend and have for almost 3 weeks." She told him, she couldn't believe he liked her; it's always going to be awkward now between them. "I mean it, Luke."
"Never mind then, pretend I never asked." He said and walked away back to his room Clare sighed and went back to Becky's room. Getting back in the room the other girls were quiet and smiling.
"I can't believe my brother just asked you out." Becky said shaking her head as Clare sat back down back on the chair she was on before.
"I can't either…"
"Uh forget that, 3 weeks and you don't tell us you and Eli is a thing!?" Bianca said Clare blushed looking down.
"Hey, it's not my fault you two are blind and didn't notice the hand holding and kissing, KC noticed " Clare said
"You guys did that before you started dating though." Becky teased.
"Clare, remember that time when you said you would never like Eli Goldsworthy?"
"Don't even B" Clare said
"I see a Clare Goldsworthy in the future."
"Stop it." Clare laughed "do you math you still haven't started."
Bianca playfully glared at her and picked up her pen again. "I told you so." Clare threw her pen at Bianca.
The day before Christmas break came quickly after that, snow now on the ground, and it was finally time to read the one page project on their English partner, the night before Clare thought she was gonna be sick cause she knew she'd have to read it in front of the Class and Eli… three people have went already and she was afraid she was gonna be next.
"Clare! Why don't you go next?" Mrs. Dawes suggested, of course just my luck she though
"Okay…" Clare said standing up taking her page with her once in the front of the class she took a deep breath and looked at Eli quickly then back at her page.
"Eli Goldsworthy, what can I say about him…He is a big-headed, aggressive, egotistical, immature boy who finds fun in being mean to people. And think his green eyes and smirk will get him everywhere in life " I didn't have to look up to see that he went from being happy to hear what I wrote to not wanting to hear at all but I kept going
"but those words described him before I got to know him, turns out he's nothing that I thought before this semester started, I was being stubborn and judge full towards him even before I knew him, I thought that my senior year was gonna start horrible because we became partners, because I couldn't stand being in the same room as this boy before then I honestly thought I hated this boy, but now I know I could never hate him." She stopped for a second then started up again.
"He saved me from something I didn't want to lose yet, and I was so thankful. Eli Goldsworthy is an ambitious, artistic, brilliant, and brave, humorous, intelligent,
Loving, nice, reliable, respectful, romantic, witty, wonderful person. He became one of my best friends and in time he became the person I love." She finished finally and looked up from the page to see Eli smiling to himself.
"Very honest, good, good." Mrs. Dawes said with a smile, starting to clap. After her ,Eli went. He talked about how horrible he was to Clare and how much he regrets it still and how much he loves her , Clare kind of was glad Mrs. Dawes made her and Eli partners because if she didn't they would probably not even say anything to each to her still. The bell rang and Clare, Eli and Bianca walked out of class
"You had me scared for a second there, Edwards." Eli chuckled holding her hand.
"Sorry about that" she said looking over at him Bianca rolled her eyes and laughed.
"You guys just admitted your love for each other in front of the class." She brought up "it'll be sure to be around the school in a matter in 5 minutes." She said "it'll probably be the front page article on the degrassi daily." She teased
"Well if that happens I'll be sure to frame it." Clare joked and Eli kissed her cheek.
After the rest of the day at school and the date Clare and Eli went on it was about 10:30 and Clare had gotten ready for bed and placed the page about Eli from English under her pillow.
