~*~*~One Year Later~*~*~Clare's POV:

I can't believe today is the day I've been dreaming about….well maybe it's a bit better then I imagined it. Today is the day I graduate from high school and to make the news even better, I was chosen for valedictorian! I heard that I beat my friend Connor out by one higher grade. I felt really bad for Connor but he said that its cool with him and then he congratulated me on it.

I was currently in my last class of the day with only thirty seconds left of my senior year. After school, me and Eli are going to the Dot to lunch with Marissa and Adam. Everything is going really well right now. After what happened at the concert, I never regretted my choice on quitting on my career.

I know I did the right thing choosing Eli over my famous life. I loved my normal life more then I've ever loved fame. I guess after I ran out, Marissa went on stage and performed but when she finished her set she said, and I quote 'I hate singing! I love you fans but I can't deal with this so I'm out! Later' and she walked off stage.

After a week of this happening, me and Marissa were just regular girls and not the famous Black Pixie and Marissa. Also, after the night of the concert Adam asked Marissa out on a date and ever since they've been dating. When I first heard this happening, I jumped up and down for hours singing 'my best friend has a boyfriend!'

Me and Eli have also been doing well and even though we've had a couple little fights once in awhile, we still are in good shape. And for the past three months, we have been getting intimate lately. We've done foreplay but have yet to have sex.

I was so into thought that I didn't notice the final bell of the year rang until I noticed that everyone was hugging each other and was already out the classroom. I smiled and picked up my bag before heading towards the front doors to see my three favorite people waiting for me on the school steps.

I walked out and into Eli's arms. I pulled away and gave a big hug to Adam and Marissa at the same time.

"Finally! We are done with high school!" Marissa said as she threw her arms in the air.

"Well technically, we will be done once graduation is over," Adam stated.

"Don't ruin it," she glared playfully at him before pecking him on the cheek and grabbing his hand.

I smiled at them before I felt Eli wrap his arms around my waist. I turned my head to look into his beautiful green eyes.

"Hi," I said to him without breaking contact.

"Hey," he whispered before pecking my lips.

"Save for the bedroom you two! Let's go to the Dot so we can eat," Adam said wrapping his left arm around Marissa's shoulders and began walking with me and Eli trailing behind.

On our way to the Dot, we all started talking about our last day and in five minutes, we were walking up to the entrance of the Dot. We went to a booth in the corner of the room and I sat next to Marissa as Adam and Eli sat next to each other. I looked around noticing that the Dot wasn't really busy which is surprising.

"So can you believe that in less then four hours we will be wearing caps and gowns while getting our diplomas? This is amazing," Adam said.

"And the best part is that we will all be together," Marissa added.

"Plus, I'm not being mean or anything but I'm glad you didn't graduate last year Eli. I would have missed you so much if you graduated," I told him while smirking.

"I know but hey, at least I'm going to NYU in three months," Eli stated proudly.

I smiled at him but to be honest, on the inside was frowning at the reminder. It's gonna hurt that he's going to be in New York and I'm going to be going to college here. But I know Eli enough to know he won't cheat.

"Hey what can I get you guys and ladies?" our waiter asked.

"We'll have four burgers with fries," Adam ordered for us.

"Okay and to drink?" the waiter asked.

"I'll have a coke," Eli answered.

"Sprite for me," I said.

"Pepsi," Marissa said.

"Ice tea," Adam responds.

The waiter walked away and then we started falling into different conversations with each other. We talked until the waiter came back with our food and drinks. AS he was walking away, I picked up my drink and cleared my throat.

"Guys, pick up your drinks I'm making a toast," I stated.

They all picked up their drinks and motion for me to start.

"I would like to toast to having great relationships with all of you. I just wanted to thank Marissa for letting me stay with her and her parents, for making me feel like I was apart of their family. To Adam for being the best guy friend I've ever had, and of course to the best boyfriend of all time, Eli," I finished while looking into his eyes.

They all smiled at me before clinking their glasses with mine. We all took a sip then Marissa started talking after we put our drinks down.

"I will add to Clare's little speech and say that I'm glad that we are all graduating today together and I don't think me and Clare couldn't have met anyone better then you two boys."

They both smiled at her and Eli said thanks while Adam gave her a side hug and kissed her cheek which caused her to turn pink.

I giggled at their little moment then looked over at Eli to see him smiling at me and I just simply winked at him.

~*~*~Graduation~*~*~

"Please give it up for Degrassi's 2013 valedictorian, Clare Edwards!" Principal Simpson announced as he and the crowd applauds for me to come on stage. I took a deep breath before stepping on the stage and making my way to the podium. I stood in front of it and looked out until I saw the most important three people of my life.

"Thank you Principal Simpson. Well fellow graduates, we have finally made it through high school. And I know that in order to get to today, that we had to go through essays, projects, speeches, notes, and of course the drama," the crowd laughed before I continued, "but we all got something right now that we didn't when we first came here three years ago, ourselves. We all entered this school as someone who didn't know who they were.

But now, we stand here today knowing the person we have transform to from those years. I remember I entered as a little shy school girl with the long hair and geeky glasses who only focused on school work. But now, I'm a confident girl who knows when to take a brake from school and to enjoy life with the people in it. So as we leave Degrassi, we should remember who we use to be and love being the person we are now. Congrats graduates and let's rock the real world!"

As soon as I finished my speech, everyone clapped and cheered really loud. I smiled out into the crowd before walking back to my seat next to Marissa. I started listening to Simpson as he started calling out names.

"…..Marissa Daniels, Clare Edwards,…..Elijah Goldsworthy,…Adam Torres…."

After ten minutes of names after Adam, the last person took their seat before Simpson went to the microphone to speak, "Let's here for our 2013 class graduates!"

We all stood up and yelled before throwing our blue caps into the air and letting them land wherever they went. After I threw mine, I turned around to Marissa and pulled her into a hug and squealed with her. We finally graduated and together makes it better. I pulled away to look over at Eli and Adam to see them doing a 'man hug'.

I smiled and grabbed Marissa's hand to lead her towards the guys. As we were almost there, her parents came in our view and made their way to us.

"Congrats girls," Marissa's mom said before pulling us both into a big hug.

"Thanks mom," Marissa responded.

"Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Daniels for everything you've done for me," I stated with a smile.

"It's no problem dear, you will always be welcome to our home," Mrs. Daniels said.

We all started talking until they excused themselves to bring the car around and just as they left, Eli and Adam came up to us. I hugged Eli first while Marissa hugged Adam then vise versa. As we pulled away, I took a deep breath and sighed.

"I am so glad I got the speech over with, I was fucking nervous up there," I said.

"But you gave an awesome speech," Marissa told me with a smile.

"Couldn't have said it better myself, maybe shorter," Eli teased me with a smirk.

"Like you would have given a speech at all. I picture you saying this," Adam cleared his throat before continuing, "'I'm so glad I'm done with this place. See you losers later!'"

Me and Marissa started to giggle at Adam's impression of Eli and started to crack up when Eli smiled before smacking Adam upside the head. Once Adam "recovered" from his injury, Cece and Bullfrog came up and hugged us in a big group hug.

"Ohhh you kids look so adorable in your cap and gowns," she stated while fixing Eli's gown.

"Mom! Stop, you're embarrassing me," Eli groaned.

"Shush Eli and all of you guys get together," Cece squeezed all of us together.

I was standing next Eli and Marissa between both boys. As soon as Cece was about to take the picture, Eli wrapped his arms around my waist with his head on my shoulder from behind. I smiled and saw Cece take the picture.

The next one was just Eli and Adam holding up their diplomas while putting up the rock sign. I smiled at their goofy faces and how cute they were. Then Eli and Marissa took a picture together with their backs against each other and holding their thumbs up with smiles. I wasn't jealous at all knowing Marissa is my best friend and she is dating Adam.

Once they finished up, I noticed Cece was motioning for me to take pictures with Eli now. I slowly walked up to him and wrapped my left arm around his waist while he put his left arm on my shoulder and as Cece took the picture, Eli leaned down and kissed my temple.

I couldn't help myself but blush when he did that action. After the photo portion of the day was over, Cece and Bullfrog went home and said that we would see them later. As they left, we noticed that everyone else was leaving but we decided to do something else before we leave.

After every student and parent left, we asked Simpson for the keys of the school to say goodbye. Simpson gave us the key but threaten to call the police if we destroyed school property. We agreed we wouldn't do anything and he left while telling us,

"Enjoy life and hope you enjoyed Degrassi." Then he left the school parking lot.

We all ran up the school steps and opened up Degrassi's entrance. As we entered the foye, we started shooting back memories with each other as we passed by a room or area. Adam explained to us how he told Eli he was transgender by the Zen garden.

Then as we passed the cafeteria, Eli talked about how when he first had lunch in here, he didn't know where to sit and was about to leave until he heard Adam yelling from across the cafeteria, 'New kid! Come sit over here!' and ever since, they've been best friends.

After about an hour worth of touring the empty Degrassi and down a couple trips on memory lane, we all realized we still had get ready for the graduation party at Adam's place, which I'm surprise his mom is letting him.

When we were almost to the school's entrance, Eli stopped us by a row of lockers and I then realized that he was standing in front of his and Adam's lockers from last year.

"What's wrong?" I asked

"Yeah why did you stop?" Adam questioned.

"We forgot the most important memory of all time that happen right in this very spot," Eli stated as he pointed to floor underneath his feet.

We all gave him a confused look and tried thinking for awhile until we gave up with a shrug. Eli sighed dramatically and rolled his eyes with a smirk before responding, "This is the spot that me and Adam first met you lovely ladies."

"Oh yeah! And of course you guys also realized that you were madly in love with both of us," Marissa teased.

"Of course," Adam said simply as he grabbed Marissa's hand and placed a gentle kiss on it.

"Awww," I sang in a high pitch voice.

"Way to ruin a moment Blue Eyes," Eli shot at me.

"But it was a cute moment," I said while looking at them.

We shared a laugh before continuing our journey to the steps outside. As I locked the door, I couldn't help myself and looked inside from the glass door so I can remember everything I went through while I was here.

I suddenly started remembering when I first came here and I did what I was doing right now; stare at my reflection while looking at everyone rushing to see their friends in different places. For a moment, I saw the old me; the girl with a ponytail, braces, in the catholic school girl uniform, and geeky glasses.

But as I continued to stare at my reflection, I saw the current me taking over the old me, only a shadow behind. I didn't realize that I've been looking at myself for a long time until Marissa was standing on my side and looking inside also.

"Hard to believe that we were once rock stars huh Clare?" she asked while looking over at me.

"Yeah, but I like the life we have now and that's all that mattered," I responded with a smile.

"We better get going if we want to look amazing for Adam's party in three hours," then she started making her way down to bring the car around.

I threw the keys under the Degrassi announcement board on the side of the steps and wrote in marker (which I conveniently had in my pocket) 'Keys under here. Thanks for the time here Simpson-The Misfits'.

I saw Marissa pull it up in front of the school and I made my way over to the passenger side but before I went in, I took one more glance at Degrassi before entering the car and driving away.

~*~*~Four hours later~*~*~*

"Marissa! Come on, Eli is texting me where we are," I yelled at her from the bottom of the stair case and went to sit down on the living room couch. I started playing the end of my skirt because my lovely best friend decided to take her sweet ass time.

I don't understand how she can take longer than me and I'm such a girl. Right now, I'm wearing with my dark purple skirt that stopped mid-thigh and I had a black-and-gray striped short sleeve shirt tucked in with a pair of black flats on. My make up was just normal, black eyeliner and massacre with a little gray eye shadow.

Five minutes later, I heard Marissa come down and then she entered the living room before standing in my view.

"What do you think?" she asked as she did a little turn.

Marissa was wearing a gray one shoulder long sleeve shirt with a pair of black shorts and wearing her gray converse she got this weekend. Her make up was eyeliner on the top and bottom lid with a coat of massacre and a little bit of dark blue eye shadow.

"Marissa, you look amazing…..now let's go," I said as I was already out the door.

I looked from the car to see her jogging over to the driver side to unlock it before the pushing the button on the driver side to unlock my door. As I slide in, Marissa starts the car up and begins to drive back out until we made our way.

After a ten minute, we finally made it on Adam's street and parked a house away from his house. It really wasn't that hard to spot his house since his is the only one with people on the front lawn and the music was blasting freaking loud.

I remembered I was suppose to send a text to Eli once me and Marissa arrived. So I pulled out my phone and shot him a quick text:

Me and Marissa jst got here. Where r u?

-Clare

I waited against my door for minute until I felt my phone vibrate in my bra. I pulled it out to see a response from Eli:

Finally! And I'm in the basement with Adam by the bar

-Eli

I looked over at Marissa to see that she was already almost to the entrance. I took off my flats before running to catch up with her. Once I got up with her, I told her that Eli and Adam were in the basement so we both went through the pushy crowd before finally going down the stairs that led to the basement.

Once we planted our feet on the ground again, I looked around the room and spotted Eli and Adam pouring in alcohol into four shot glasses. I smirked and elbowed Marissa to nod my head over to where the boys were.

I brought my hands up and covered Eli's eyes. I felt him jump out of surprise but then relax once he probably realized it was me. I got up on my toes and whispered in his ear,

"Boo."

I giggled and he grabbed my hands and brought them down to turn me around then interlacing our fingers together. I smiled up at him and gave him a quick peck. I wrapped his arm around my shoulders as I looked at Adam and Marissa talking behind the bar.

"So what's with the shots boys?" I asked

"Well since we graduated and are now technically adults, I thought we should all celebrate the fun way….drinking," Adam answered.

He handed Eli and Marissa a shot glass before sticking one out to me.

"Usually I would totally be against this but I feel like letting go tonight so what the hell," I answered as I took the shot glass from him.

"Awesome! Okay raise your glass," we all raised our glass before Adam continued, "a toast to finally finishing high school and to start a new life in three months in college."

"Cheers!" the three of us respond before bring the shot glasses to our lips.

As the alcohol went down my throat, the drink made a burn go through my throat and before I knew I was coughing, almost choking.

"Damn Adam what was that?" I asked as I rubbed my throat.

"That my friend would be the sweet taste of Jack Daniels," he stated proudly before pulling Marissa to his side and leading her to the middle of the room to dance.

I looked up at Eli to see an amusement expression on his face. I rolled my eyes playfully and asked, "Do you want to go outside for awhile?"

He nodded his head and grabbed my hand before leading me out the back door. Once we were outside, I surprise to see that we were the only ones out here. I mean it's so pretty out here with the full moon out and a few clouds around it. Plus there are a lot of twinkly lights so it makes it give off a romantic vibe off.

I heard a slow song come on and of course it was Come Home from Eyes Set to Kill (1). I looked up at Eli to see him offering his hand. "Would you care to dance with me gorgeous?"

I giggled before taking his hand and wrapping my arm around neck while his went down my waist. He brought me closer to his body to the point where my head was lying against his chest and his chin was on top of my head.

I love moments like these when it's nice and quiet with just me and Eli. It was quiet for a second until Eli spoke up to break the silence, "I'm going to miss you."

"I know. I'm probably going to miss you more though," I said while looking up.

"Clare you should have gotten accepted into NYU. They are crazy to not have you," Eli said.

It's true what he's saying. I remembered we both applied to NYU at the same time and two months ago when it was application letter day, Eli told me he got accepted for directing and writing. But when we both opened mine up, we were both disappointed to see the rejection in the words.

Fortunately, I also applied to UT here and a week after I got an accepted letter. I told Eli and even though he said he was proud of me, I could hear the disappointment in his voice.

"Eli the important thing here is that I did accepted into a school and can try to succeed my dreams of being a journalist," I told him while looking into his eyes.

"That's what I love about you blue eyes, you always look on the positive side of everything," he complimented.

"How did I ever get lucky to get such an amazing guy like you?" I asked.

"I don't know, I always ask myself that only about you."

I smiled into his eyes and right now, this moment just feels so real and right. I don't think I can see my life without Eli in it. I grabbed his hand in between mine and started playing with his fingers until he lace them together with mine.

"Clare, you know I love you with all of my heart. I can't imagine what my life would be like if you were just to walk out of it with no warning. When you went back to Vancouver, I was a mess. I couldn't sleep, eat or even leave my own room. Point being, I realized then that I love you more than Julia and that I can see you in my future.

As soon as I saw you at your concert last year, to me you looked like the girl I met first; Clare Edwards, not Black Pixie. And my heart raced when you jumped off stage and ran to me before kissing me and ditching your show. I've been thinking for awhile and I have to say this now because this is the perfect moment."

He then got on one knee, pulling a ring out and for a second, I struggled on trying to catch my breath.

"Clare Edwards, will you make me the happiest guy alive and marry me?"

I gasped in surprise and felt tears slowly making their way down my face. I was so speechless to talk so I nodded my headed 'yes' repeatedly and I saw that beautiful smile of Eli's appear on his face. He got up on both feet again and hugged me while picking me up.

I pulled apart and kissed him with all the love my heart has to offer. He responded greedily and started slipping his tongue into mine. Our tongues started dancing with each other. I pulled away though and whispered in his ear, " Make love to me tonight."

He eyes went wide and before he could get a word out, I placed a finger over his lips and answered the unasked question, "Yes I am ready."

~*~*~At Eli's place~*~*~

As soon as I entered through the front door, I was pushed back against the wall next to it as Eli's mouth attacked me. I smiled in the kiss and returned the favor as he closed the door and put his hands on my waist. They started sliding down to behind my thighs before picking me up and carrying me bridal all the way upstairs until we reached his room.

He opened with a kick and closed it with his foot before continuing to bring me to the bed. He gently laid me down on it without breaking our kiss. I pulled away to crawl backwards to the middle of the bed and Eli moved back on top of me.

He started leaving kissed down my neck all the way down to the collar of my shirt. He stopped and motions me to sit up straight so he can take off my shirt. I sat up and started take my shirt off from the skirt before throwing it across the room, leaving me in my purple lace bra and skirt.

Eli watched me with animal like eyes before attacking my chest through my bra. He groped me and started twisting my nipples through the thin fabric. I couldn't take it longer, I need to feel his skin against mine.

I started tugging on his shirt and he got the hint because then he pulled back before taking his t-shirt off. While he was doing this, I reached behind my back and took off my bra. Once he realized I was bra less, he attacked my mouth with his tongue and the war broke out. I moaned into the kiss loving the feeling of our skin against each other and the way his hands are caressing my body like I'm a goddess.

I felt his hands on the top of my skirt before pulling it down slowly, along with my panties, which is really teasing because I can feel his boner against my leg. Once he got it down, he started kissing down my body until he got to the place that needs attention, now.

I moaned at the feeling of his tongue in my pussy which feels fucking awesome. He started at a slow pace before progressing faster. I then started chanting his name before he pulled away which made me whimpered, "I'm not gonna last long, gorgeous with those sweet moans coming from your mouth. So can we make love now?"

I loved the way he said 'make love' instead of 'sex' or 'do it'. Eli really treats me like a princess. I nodded my head and watched as he got off the bed and started taking his pants off along with his boxers.

After he got them off, he walked over to his desk and opened the drawer on the side to pull out a condom. He walked over to me and towered above me. I looked into his eyes in silence until he broke it, "Are you ready Clare?"

And for the first time since Eli proposed to me, I responded, "Yes. I'm positive."

He then slowly entered me and it was very painful. I started to feel tears collecting in my eyes and from I can tell, Eli noticed too because he stopped moving.

"I'm sorry blue eyes. I know it hurts but the pain will go away soon," he whispered on my face as he starts the kiss the tears that fell out.

I took a deep breath and clamed down for a minute before speaking again, "Okay, you can move."

Then Eli started moving in and out slowly until the pain turned from pain to pleasure in a matter of seconds. I moaned at the feeling of him inside me. "Faster Eli."

He then grabbed my hips before pounding into me faster in each thrust and I couldn't stop moaning.

"Eli! Oh Eli that feels amazing!"

"Clare you're so tight," he whispered as he increased his speed.

"You're so big Eli," I whispered in his ear before licking the shell and hearing him grunt.

"Keep talking dirty Edwards," he grunted as he tightened his grip on my hips.

"I love the way your big cock is pounding my pussy so hard," I blushed at my comment.

But judging by the way Eli is panting and grunting, I can take a hint that he's enjoying it and that he's almost close.

"E-eli, I'm close," I panted.

"Me too."

After a couple of more thrust, me and Eli both came at the same time and moaned at the feeling. After he finished, he slowly pulled out and got up to throw away the used condom. He came back to bed with his boxers on and held out his shirt for me to put on. But I rejected it and told him to just come into bed.

He slipped behind me and wrapped his arm around my waist. I smiled knowing I lost my virginity to the guy I love the most, Eli Goldsworthy my now fiancée.

"I love you Eli," I whispered while turning around to face him.

"And I love you Mrs. Goldsworthy," he leaned down and gave me a soft peck before wrapping his arm around my shoulders while I cuddled into his chest.

I then closed my eyes and dreamed of my future to come: going to college and marrying the guy of my dreams. It's a good thing this is real and of course, perfect.
