Okay, how many of you have seen the new promos for new episodes of Degrassi and have seent he Eclare stuff? Gah, they finally get together! And then did you see where Eli is like "Sorry I led you on." and Clare goes "Wow." I wanted to get up and punch Eli through my TV. And have you heard all these crazy rumors about how Eli dies during the lockdown?
Clare
Math class. I like math, I just don't like this class specifically. My assigned seat is directly behind KC, and Jenna is directly to his left. So everyday up until now, for 45 minutes, I got to watch them be all flirty and disgusting. And it still hurt every time I saw them together. I mean, KC was my first love, and that makes him hard to get over. I still have these pesky feelings for him, that just keep bugging me. I do have more feelings towards Eli of course, but I can't get KC out of my head! And I guess that explains why I'm happy that KC dumped Jenna. And not just because Jenna deserved it.
"Good morning class," the teacher said as he walked in. "To review for the test tomorrow I made a practice test that you can work on with a partner."
The class nodded excitedly. Partner work? Geez, don't teachers get when they let you work with a friend that you aren't actually going to work?
"Assigned partners." the teacher said.
Everyone groaned. He went around the room, assigning partners who sat close to each other. I wanted to slam my head into my desk. That means I have a pretty good chance of being stuck with Jenna! Or KC...
"Jenna you are partners with Jason. And KC, you are partners with Clare." the teacher said as he dropped worksheets on our desks.
Why did my heart just skip a beat? Oh no, physical reactions. This was worse then I thought.
KC turned his desk around so he was facing me. I stared down at the desk top.
"Hey Clare. I heard about your mom. I'm really sorry." he smiled sympathetically.
And wow, I almost temporarily forgot about that.
"Uh, thanks." I said, nervously picking at my nails.
"So, uh how are you?" he asked, awkwardly running his hands through his hair.
I looked up. "Fine."
He sighed and took out a pencil.
"So, for the first problem. Where do I reduce?" he asked.
...
KC walked out of class right behind me. We were both laughing at something stupid Jenna had said to him at the end of class. And surprisingly, class went really well. It was like old times, before me and KC were in a relationship.
"We should hangout sometime Clare. I miss you. As a friend." he quickly added.
I nodded. "We should."
I looked up and Eli was walking towards me. When he saw who I was talking to, his face fell.
He walked up next to me and grabbed my hand.
"Hey Clare." he said, glaring at KC.
"Uh hey. Eli this is KC, KC this is Eli." I don't think they've officially met, but they definately knew who each other was.
I looked down at our hands. Me and Eli had agreed we weren't gonna exactly make it too obvious we were dating. Was he jealous?
"Hello." Eli said emotionless.
"Uh, hi." KC said.
"Well, see you later KC." I said, walking away with Eli.
Eli stopped and pulled me into a corner. "I thought you hated him? Didn't he dump you for that blondie cheerleader?"
"Don't be upset. We decided to be friends."
"Even after what he did to you?" Eli asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Yes. That doesn't matter when it comes to our friendship." I said.
He sighed. "Wow Clare. I didn't think you'd be the type of person to forgive someone so easily." he said, starting to walk away.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I followed after him and grabbed his wrist. He turned around.
"Nothing." he said.
"You don't have to be jealous Eli. Trust me." I said.
"Who says I'm jealous?" he said, turning around again and walking away.
...
Eli
Gah. I wasn't the jealous type, but seeing Clare all giddily happy with KC... Well, what guy wouldn't be jealous seeing his girlfriend all happy with her ex? I really didn't like this new "friendship" they established. I didn't trust that dude as far as I could throw him, and I was picking up this weird vibe. I doubt he wanted to be just friends with her! I mean, he just dumped that blonde bimbo like 5 minutes ago and now he wants to be "friends" with his ex? I can feel the paranoia consuming me already.
I sat down in my desk in English. A few seconds later, Clare sat down behind me. She didn't say anything. Crap.
I turned around. "Uh, hey."
"Hi." she said, emotionless, not even looking at me. Ouch, cold.
"You aren't... mad at me are you?" I said. Damn, I just totally sounded like a 6 year old.
"You don't trust me." she said, it wasn't a question.
"Of course I do." I said, sinking down in my chair so I could look up in to her eyes. She looked at the floor now.
She didn't say anything.
"Clare, I was jealous. Jealousy makes people do stupid idiotic things. I'm sorry." I said.
She finally looked up. "It's okay."
"I trust you I just don't trust him." I said.
She thought for a second and then sighed. "Okay, I understand. If you don't trust him I'll stay away from him."
"No, I can't ask you to do that." I said, feeling bad. Wow, I totally do not deserve her.
She shook her head. "No. It's fine. You're right. I shouldn't forgive him."
I grabbed her hand and she smiled weakly. Then class started.
...
Clare told me she had a yearbook meeting after schooI and she said she would walk home after the meeting. I hated being in the house alone, since before Clare moved in I was always alone here, so I stayed at school to do a little studying and then headed over to The Dot to get a coffee or something. I parked the hearse and got out and walked across the street. I walked inside and ordered a coffee and sat down and waited. Then I paid for my coffee and stood up. I turned to retrieve my backpack off the floor. As I did, my gaze fell on a table in the corner, and I practically dropped my coffee. There sat Clare, holding hands across the table with KC, giggling at something he said. The anger ran through my veins as I immediately ran towards the table, not caring if I was making a scene. Clare's head snapped up, and when she saw me she went pale. KC turned around to see what she was looking at, and when he saw me he smiled in a "Ha-ha" kind of way.
"What the hell?" I said.
"Eli!" Clare said, immediately letting go of KC's hands.
"So much for 'I shouldn't forgive him' huh Clare?" I said.
Clare ran her fingers through her hair. "Eli please just let me explain."
"Explain what? There is nothing to explain Clare do you think I'm blind?" I yelled.
"Dude, chill." KC said, rolling his eyes.
"Shut the hell up! You know what Clare? Have fun getting you're heart broken again. I'll put your stuff on my porch." I said.
Clare went paler, if that's even possible. I shook my head in disbelief and ran out the door, not caring who was staring at me.
