Chapter 9 part 1
Eli's POV
Today is when our big game is. Not only that but Clare is going to tell me who she is in love with… then I can kick this guy's ass. Oh god… what is wrong with me? Oh yeah, that's right, I am in love with my best friend who is in love some other lucky bastard. I sighed as I slammed my head on my desk in the English classroom. This is our last class of the day. Just a few more hours until I get to find out who the lucky bastard, Clare is crushing on is. I felt someone tap my shoulder so I lifted my head up and realized it was Clare. I leaned back in my chair so I could hear her better.
"Are you okay?" she whispered and I shuddered as I felt her hot breath against my neck. Oh the things I wanted to do to her right now. I wanted to jump up and shove her against a desk and show her how it's done. I shook my head from those thoughts.
"Uh, yeah, just thinking about the game." I finally responded.
"Well I need to talk to you before the game so I'll meet you in the locker room right before the game." she whispered back.
"But it's the guys locker room." I pinned my eyebrows together.
"Then make sure there's no guys in there, we need to be alone" I don't know if it was intentional, but when she said 'alone', she sounded very seductive.
I swallowed hard and nodded. She leaned back in her seat and I could see her smirking from the corner of my eye. The bell rang and I sighed as I got up and grabbed my books before heading to my locker.

Clare's POV
Bianca and I just finished getting ready for the big game. Bianca was wearing a pair of grey skinny jeans with black paint splattered everywhere with rips in the legs. She had a red top that hugged her curves perfectly and a simple necklace that ended at her belly button along with some hoop earrings.
I had on a pair of blue jean short shorts with black and purple paint splatters, along with rips on the butt pockets and on the front. I had a dark purple thin strap tank top on with a light grey short sleeve cardigan over it.
"Ready?" Bianca asked.
"Oh yeah." I smiled and we both laughed before walking out of my house and into her car.
I have gotten a lot more confident about telling Eli how I feel, all thanks to Bianca. She kept telling me even if it doesn't work out, which she thinks it will, that I will find someone else. But I don't want anyone else.
As we pulled up to Degrassi I noticed all the cars that were parked there; it looked packed. We both got out and headed inside. Once we got into the gym we found some seats and took them. There was about 10 minutes until the game actually starts, but 10 minutes is all I need to tell Eli. I told Bianca where I was going and she smiled at me as I left. I noticed the team was already out on the benches waiting for the game to start, but Eli wasn't. I figured he would be in the locker room.
I sneaked over to the locker room and slowly entered it. As I walked in more I noticed Eli sitting on the bench in there, looking at his hands that were folded in his lap. I made sure he was alone before I leaned against the wall and cleared my throat. He looked up at me and gave a small smiled before getting up.
"So, what did you need to talk to me about?" he asked.
"Well I was going to tell you who the 'mystery guy' is but if you don't want to know..." I put air quotes around mystery guy and I started turning around to walk out the door.
"No! I do" he said quickly. I giggled and turned back to face him.
"Guess." I said, deciding that I wanted to have some fun before I told him.
"Oh come on." he whined. I gave him a look and he sighed. "Do I know him?"
I laughed and nodded. "Very well actually."
He stood there thinking for a moment. "Is he on the team?"
I nodded.
"Dave?" he asked.
"No!" I yelled. He smirked.
"Drew?"
"No, he is with Bianca, and even if he wasn't, it would still be a no."
"Then I don't know!" he yelled throwing his hands in the air dramatically as he leaned against the wall.
I smirked and walked closer to him. He eyed me carefully and readjusted his posture as I got closer. He stood up more and looked down at me when I stood directly in front of him. I lifted my head a little so our noses were touching and my lips were only a centimeter away from his. He stared into my eyes as I stared into his.
"It's you." I whispered, my lips brushed his.
I backed up a little and he just stared at me in shock, but it wasn't the bad kind. I smiled shyly at him and started to turn around and walk towards the door. As soon as my hand touched the door handle I was pulled back away from it. I was spun around and face to face with the green eyes I've grown to adore.
Eli smirked at me and started walking towards me, making me step back. I whimpered as my back came in contact with the wall. Eli reached up and moved the hair that fell in front of my face. My leg lifted up and slid up his leg. He reached down and grabbed me by my thighs and picked me up, wrapping my legs around him and hostelling me up against the wall. My arms snaked around his neck and my fingers threaded through his silky locks as his hands ran up and down my sides. He leaned down and I shuddered as his lips brushed against my ear.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to hear you to say that." He whispered huskily before he kissed my neck. I let out a small moan as his lips trailed to that one spot.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to say it." I whispered back.
He lifted his head and stared into my eyes. He smiled and started inching closer, as did I. And of course, just as our lips were about to collide, the buzzer buzzed, signalling the game was starting. I reluctantly pulled away and jumped down from his waist.
"Win the game, and you can do whatever you want to me." I whispered in his ear and smirked as I walked out of the locker room.
I let out a deep breath that I didn't know I was holding in, and walked back over to Bianca. I sat down next to her and she stared at me with a smile.
"So, how did it go?" she asked.
"Well, let's just say if the buzzer didn't buzz when it did, we might have lost control." I smirked.
She squealed and nudged me. "See, I told you everything will be fine," she smirked. "So how far did you get?"
"We were just about to kiss when the buzzer buzzed."
"You didn't even kiss yet!"
"No, but he had me up against the wall." I smirked and she raised an eyebrow.
"Kinky." she wiggled her eyebrows. I laughed and shook my head.
As I looked out into the gym, I noticed Eli had come out. He must have felt me staring at him because he looked up and we locked eyes. He smirked and winked before giving his attention back to the coach.
"Did you see that!" Bianca asked as she hit my arm.
"Yes" I smiled as a blush formed on my cheeks.
The game begun and everyone was cheering, especially me and Bianca. (1) The game was off to a good start; Dave got the first shot, which surprised me since he is a lot shorter than most of the players. Degrassi was definitely winning, but the other team got some shots here and there. The half buzzer buzzed and the teams went to the benches. Degrassi had the lead in the score while the other team was just behind them. The guys all huddled and the Coach started talking to them. Soon the buzzer buzzed again and the teams went back onto the court. I watched as Eli grabbed the ball and faked left before jumping and shooting the ball into the net. Our whole side of the bleachers cheered and Bianca and I stood up while cheering. Eli noticed us and he laughed while shaking his head. We sat down as the game resumed and just watched.
The game was just about to end with only a few seconds on the clock. Drew had the ball but he was cornered, so he threw the ball over to Eli who made a shot and after the ball spun around the net a few times, it finally went in. Our whole side of the gym jumped up and cheered as the team went and surrounded Eli. Bianca and I made our way down to the guys as they lifted Eli on their shoulders. Bianca and I laughed as we got closer and the guys were cheering. Eli noticed me and he jumped down from the guys, making his way to me. I ran to him and jumped into his arms; he caught me and spun me around before putting me back down.
He cupped my face in his hands as we stared into each other's eyes. I leaned up as he leaned down and our lips finally came together. Actually having his lips over mine was WAY better than dreaming about it. His lips moved over mine as mine moved with his. His tongue slid across my bottom lip and without any hesitation I opened for him. I have never kissed like this before but with Eli, I felt like I knew what to do. His tongue roamed my mouth before he started begging mine to play with his. I mentally smiled and entangled my tongue with his. Our tongues danced while our lips moved in sync. I was enjoying this kiss so much that I didn't even notice there was confetti falling down on us or the big group of people jumping around and congratulating everyone.
We broke apart from the kiss, mostly because we needed to breathe, and smiled at each other.
"Have you ever kissed anyone like that?" he breathed.
I shook my head and he smiled before kissing me again.
"So you're in love with me, huh?" he said against my lips, smirking.
"Depends, are you in love with me?" I smirked back.
He leaned down and pressed his lips to mine again. "Definitely" he said against my lips.
"It's about time!" I heard Bianca yell.
Eli and I pulled apart to see Bianca and Drew standing there along with Adam by their side. Ever since I was with KC, I haven't really talked to Adam. I missed him. Eli moved his arm around my shoulders and I moved mine around his waist.
"Sure took you guys long enough!" Drew yelled.
"I win!" Adam yelled with a big grin.
Eli and I pinned our eyebrows together as we looked at each other, then back to them.
"Care to elaborate." Eli said.
"We had a bet going. I bet that you guys would have been together 2 weeks ago, Drew said last week and Adam said the big game." Bianca explained.
"You guys had a bet going?" I asked.
"Well yeah, you guys were taking long enough so we all decided to have some fun." Drew shrugged.
"So you guys knew how we felt this entire time, but you didn't say a word to either of us?" Eli asked.
"I told you to tell her dude, but you got too scared." Drew defended.
"Yeah, and I told Clare to tell you way before now." Bianca defended.
"How long have you felt this way about me?" I asked Eli.
"Uh, about a few months maybe" he scratched the back of his head.
"Are you kidding me!" I sighed. "God we are so stupid."
Drew, Bianca and Adam agreed.
"Well, if you will excuse us, we have a few months of kissing to catch up on." Eli said while pulling me away from the group and towards the locker room.
I blushed a deep shade of red and everyone smiled and waved. Eli kissed me once more before entering the guy's locker room. I stood there alone while Eli changed. When the door opened I looked over, hoping to see Eli, but instead it was KC. He saw me and stood in front of me.
"So it was Eli?" KC asked. "I thought you guys were best friends."
"Yes it is Eli and we were best friends." I smiled.
"You little slut." KC spat.
"Say's the one who cheated on me." I spat back.
"That's because you wouldn't even kiss me!" he yelled.
"I didn't want to kiss you! Get that through your head!" I yelled back.
I noticed KC's face expression changed to pissed off. He started breathing heavy and he clenched his fists. I watched as he raised his hand and swung it at my face. I squealed and shut my eyes, getting ready for the pain that was yet to come. When I didn't feel anything I opened my eyes to see Eli standing there holding KC's hand up.
"Touch her, and that will be the last thing this hand ever does." Eli growled.
KC looked at me and then Eli. He scoffed and got away from Eli's grip before walking away.
"Are you okay?" Eli asked.
"Yeah, thanks."
"Mind telling me what that was about?"
I explained what happened and Eli just smirked when I added that I wanted to kiss Eli instead of KC.
"Well, I kept up my part of the deal, now it's your turn." he smirked.
"What do you plan on doing to me, Goldsworthy?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"You'll have to wait and see." he smirked as he pulled me out the doors and towards Morty.
(1) I don't really know anything about basketball games, so if I did it wrong, I apologize. I tried, I really did. -_- I didn't know what Degrassi's basketball team name was, sorry. I also couldn't think of another schools name. Oh well.
