Clare's P.O.V.
After a week, I walked into Degrassi Monday morning. The halls were filled with students walking and talking, heading to their lockers. I saw Alli by her locker and
I took a deep breath and started walking towards her. Alli had been nice to me for the following week, but we hadn't tried much to hang out. She was still with Jenna a lot, and I didn't need to be by her. I could probably end up with more detention for a fight between me and her.
"Alli," I breathed. Alli turned around and smiled at me politely.
"Clare!" She exclaimed. "What's going on?"
"Oh nothing. You?" I replied.
"Nothing. So how are you and Eli doing?" Alli prompted. I laughed weakly. Actually, I didn't know how we were doing. After he rejected my skip detention idea, I didn't talk to him much. I ignored his texts and his emails and IM's. Whenever I saw him in the hallway, I quickly walked the other way.
"Pretty good," I lied. Alli stopped getting her stuff from her locker and looked at me, quickly detecting the lie. "Okay, fine. We aren't really on speaking terms right now."
"Why is that?"
"Um, long story. You probably don't want to hear about it."
Alli's long black hair hung in her face. Her big eyes looked at me up and down, looking for any flaw in me. I covered my wrist and glanced at the ground, then back up to Alli. Alli's small body was turned towards me. She wore a black skirt with a white shirt. Bracelets covered her wrists and she now had two earrings on each ear, something I didn't think she would ever do because of her parents. But knowing Alli, she either did it secretively, or she actually convinced her mom to let her do it.
"Tell me tonight?" Alli asked. "How about a study session at your house, like the old days?"
"Sounds great!" I said, and headed for my class.
Eli's P.O.V.
I parked Morty in the parking lot and walked up to Degrassi. I went to my locker and grabbed stuff for my first class. My eyes scanned the halls for Clare, who I hadn't talked to or seen in a week. Ever since she wanted me to skip detention, she was avoiding me at all cost. Walking away in the halls when she saw me, and ignoring texts, emails, and IM's. I wondered how long this would go on for, and if it would even stop. I worried about her, since Darcy was lost and her parents were newly divorced. I was scared that she would go right back to cutting herself.
When I sat down in first hour, I begged mentally for it to quickly be done, so I could get to lunch in just a few hours. But of course, first hour seemed to go on forever, but when the bell rang, I quickly shot up and went for the door. I walked out of the classroom and ran right into Adam. He smiled at me.
"What's going on?" He asked, noticing my rushing.
"Just excited for lunch," I answered. We started walking down the hall.
"Is Clare finally talking to you again?" Adam asked me.
"Sadly, no. But I need to see her at lunch to talk to her. I hate it when she ignores me like this." Adam nodded his head and we turned the corner towards his locker.
"What is there to talk about? Oh Clare, I love you so much!" I punched Adam's shoulder playfully and he rubbed it and glared at me. "Okay, okay. Only kidding."
"Uh huh, sure." The bell rang and we waved to each other and went to our next class.
Clare's P.O.V.
When I went to gym class, I saw Alli sitting with Jenna. She motioned for me to sit next to her, and I did. It was a little uncomfortable, but Alli filled me in on everything they were talking about. It helped a little bit, but it was still awkward with Jenna being right there.
"Hey, Clare!" Jenna said. I smiled weakly at her.
"Hi." It felt like all eyes were on me now, and I quickly looked down at my feet. I tapped them on the floor the whole time, just waiting for the moment for Jenna to snap and spring at me.
"Hey, me, you, and Alli should hang out after school!" Jenna said. Alli looked at me and I nodded absently and Alli agreed.
When lunch finally came, I had planned to eat on the stairs like I had been, but I saw Eli and Adam motioning for me to sit by them. I sighed and walked over to them. Eli grabbed a seat and I sat down next to him.
"What's going on?" Eli asked me.
"Well, I'm hanging out with Jenna and Alli after school today," I answered quietly. Eli looked at me like I was crazy and I focused on my food.
"Seriously, Clare?" Eli said. I nodded and Adam sunk down low in his seat. "Did you forget what Jenna did to you?"
"Is that a good idea?" Adam asked. I sighed and pushed my food away, not wanting it at all anymore.
"Who died and made you two my parents?" I asked. Eli and Adam looked at each other then went back to their food.
After school, I met up with Jenna and Alli. We hung out in the front of the school for a little bit, and I saw Eli sitting by the picnic area with Adam. I knew they were spying on me, so I tried my best to ignore them, but I knew it was a matter of time before Eli came over and dragged my away from them.
The whole time we talked about guys and all of that girly stuff. Jenna mostly talked about K.C., and I knew it was because she wanted to make me mad. But I put a smile on my face and pretended that it didn't bother me.
"He has such nice abs too! You should of seen them, Clare!" Then, I cracked.
"I would of, but then you stole him away!" I yelled. Jenna scooted away from me a bit.
"Chill, Clare. Not my fault K.C. liked me more then you." I got up and walked towards my house, not able to take this crap from her.
Eli's P.O.V.
I went to Clare's house and knocked on the door. I knew she was there, but she refused to answer the door. I said, "I'm coming in!" I opened the door and heard Clare crying in the bathroom.
"Its all my fault," I heard her say.
"What?"
"Everything is my fault!" I opened the door and she was sitting on the floor.
"C'mon Clare," I said. She refused to get up and he hugged her wrist. I took her hand and saw the marks on her wrist. "Clare, what is this?"

I don't own Degrassi:(
I don't really like this chapter… I wanted to update fast because I'm getting really tired and I forgot to update earlier today.
Boy, Wisconsin has been having some crazy weather! Tuesday morning it was pouring out and we were on tornado watch and the winds were up to 40 mph. In 1st hour the clouds were like swirling around and we had to have our stuff ready in case we had to take shelter. And then Wednesday was super windy again and the sky was almost purple. Thanks, Mother Nature!
Don't forget to review:)
