Clare's POV:

I was broken from my deep slumber by the birds chirping outside the window. I groggily sat up and looked around, Eli was gone.

Then I saw a note that said:

Good morning Blue Eyes, I had to go home, but I'll see you at school! - Eli

I smiled and got out of bed. I brushed my teeth and did all the usual then went through my closet to choose my outfit.

I decided on a white tank top paired with a navy blue floral skirt that reached just above my knees. I put on a black blazer, just in case it was cold out.

I went downstairs and sat down at the dining table alongside Jake, mom, and Glen.

"Good morning!" I said cheerfully.

They greeted me back.

After breakfast, Jake and I drove to school.

"So, you and Eli are back together again?" Jake asked turning into the Degrassi parking lot.

"Yup"

"That's good, I couldn't take you two lovebirds being separated any longer" He joked.

"Haha, very funny" I rolled my eyes as the car came to a complete stop.

I got out of the car and waved goodbye to Jake, who went to find Katie. I walked to my locker and there stood my knight in shining armor.

I kissed Eli on the cheek, "Good morning!"

"Had a good sleep?" Eli smiled.

"Of course" I said as I got my books for English class.

"You ready to go?" Eli put out his arm.

"Yes I am" I linked arms and we walked to class.

English Class:

Eli's POV:

Clare and I walked into the classroom and saw Kristin making out with Owen. Her pencil skirt had ridden up and I could see part of her thong. Owen's hand was on her breasts, which were spilling out of her top. It was disgusting watching them.

I felt Clare grip onto my arm tighter than before. I looked over and saw her grimacing.

I kissed her forehead. "Forget about Kristin, forget about Owen, okay?" I rubbed her back.

Clare smiled slightly and sat down.

*BRING BRING*

Ms. Dawes stood at the front of the class and cleared her throat. "Ahem, we may start once Ms. Palvin and Mr. Milligan decide to take their seats.

Kristin got off of Owen and winked at him before taking her seat.

I shook my head and listened to Ms. Dawes.

"Okay, now we will be learning about..."

Clare's POV:

I couldn't believe Owen and Kristin. A slut and a manwhore, guess they're perfect for each other.

The bell rung dismissing the class. Eli and I walked out.

"Don't stress" Eli rubbed my shoulders.

I nodded and took a deep breath.

Lunchtime:

Adam's POV:

I had an appointment with the counselor the first block and missed English with Eli and Clare. But no worries, I can catch up on all that now during lunch.

I sat down beside the giggling couple. "Back together" I winked. I had already known from Eli's enthusiastic call last night.

Clare blushed. "Hi Adam, sorry I forgot to tell you"

"No worries, Dr. Doom over here" I pointed to Eli. "Broke my eardrums telling me last night"

Eli kicked me under the table.

"Dude!" I glared.

"Hey, you started it"

I pretended to be mad, but burst out laughing.

"Whatever" I blew it off. "I'm just happy for you two" I smiled.

Clare smiled back, while Eli did his signature, and kind of annoying, smirk.

"So, what'd I miss in English?" I asked between bites of my PB&J sandwich.

"Don't choke bro" Eli joked.

"Very" *chomp* "funny"

"You didn't miss much, don't worry" Eli laughed.

"Except for the disgusting show" Clare murmured quietly, thinking I couldn't hear, but I could. I had ears of hawk.

"What show?" I asked.

Clare shrugged and Eli gave out a huge sigh.

"Clare's talking about Kristin and Owen"

"Those two disgust me" I said looking over to where they were and they looked as if they were eating each other inside out.

"You two need to calm down. They aren't part of our lives anymore. Misfits for life, remember?" Eli tried to lighten the mood.

I nodded and agreed. "We should think of something else, like..." I paused. "a back to school" I paused for dramatic effect once again.

"Hurry up bro" Eli motioned me to continue with his hands.

"A BACK TO SCHOOL PARTY!" I screamed to the whole cafeteria, who all then started to cheer, chant, and holler my name.

"PARTY AT THE TORRES TONIGHT AT 6!" I shouted as the school got up and pumped fists.

"Well that sure was a change of speed" Clare giggled.

"I did say something good, didn't I" I smirked.

And we all burst out laughing.
