Clare was glaring at KC, as he walked through her front door of her house. She was sitting on her coach in a nice dress. They were suppose to go to the dance tonight She had made sure to look extra special for tonight, it was their first dance as a couple.

Seeing the look on her face "I'm sorry Clare."

"Well that's original," she said sarcastically. "Not like I haven't heard that lately," looking away from him. She had heard sorry a lot since this new coach came along.

Coming closer to her, sitting down next to her. "I know you have. I lost track of time. Coach Carson has really been helping me with my game, and I'm becoming better. He really believes in me."

Clare's head snap, looking right at him, "And I don't. I've stood by you since day one. Don't I deserve your attention too. I'm your girlfriend for goodness sake. I deserve to be one of your top priorities," getting up from the coach. She was too mad to be around him right now.

He was a jerk, he knew it. He never wanted Clare to feel like that. She had been the one person to never leave his side, even through the rough times. Grabbing her hand, "You are. I'm sorry I haven't treated you like you are. I love you, Clare."

Tears strolled down her face, "I love you too, KC. But sometimes I love you isn't enough, I need to be shown."

Wiping her tears from her face, "I will." He leaned down, and kissed her, bringing her into an embrace. Looking into her eyes, caressing her face, "You look beautiful tonight."

Clare blushed. She had waited all night to hear that. It was what she was hoping he would say.

Brushing the hair away from her eyes, "From the moment I saw you on the stairs of Degrassi, I knew you were different. It may have taken me a bit to figure out what it meant Clare, but I did. I love you. And I promise you I always will."

"Always and Forever."

"Always and Forever."

She grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the stairs. "What are you doing?" He wanted to make sure this is what she wanted.

"It's okay, I want to." Pulling him into an embrace, staring into his eyes, "Us together is what I want. I've never been so sure of something in my whole life."

"Okay," he smiled. He picked her up bridal style, and took her upstairs to her room.

He gently place her on her bed, and laid down beside her. He softly kissed her. That night they took it slowly. He wanted to make sure it was something that she would always remember. Tonight the united, and became one.

Clare and Ali are sitting in the foyer of the movie theatre, waiting for their movie to be seated. It was Saturday night, and they decided to have a girls night out.

"So Johnny got into college, got his acceptance letter yesterday," Ali boasted.

"Really?" she didn't really see him as the type.

"Hey…he's a deep guy. He just doesn't let any of his friends know that. I mean he's really into literature. I mean he won't let anyone know this, but he actually honour roll student."

"Well good for him. I'm glad he really wants to get past his reputation here and actually better himself, and his future."

"So how come you didn't go with KC to the sports banquet?" knowing that it was tonight.

"He didn't have the money to bring me, and unfortunately I had spent the last bit of my money on that dress." The dress that only got to see the inside of her house, instead of the dance. Well at least KC got to see her in it.

"Aww…you could have asked me. I would have lent you some."

"No, I didn't want to ask," she hated borrowing from friends. "It's not big deal. He's going to be with the team tonight."

"Well just too bad you weren't there, be nice for the two share in his achievement."

"Achievement?"

"Well rumour has it, is that tonight he is getting the most valuable player award."

Clare smiled to herself. KC defiantly deserved it. He had been working hard, and she had to agree that Coach Carson had help him improve his game. She just wish she could see his face when he received it.

"Tonight I'm presenting the award for Most Valuable Player," Coach Carson said, as he stood at the front. "This student has worked hard, and improved his game in the short time that I've been here. So I would like to present this to KC Guthrie."

KC sat there dumbfounded. He hadn't expected this. Other guys on the team had more points then him this season.

"Teacher's Pet," someone whispered.

KC's ignored this. He refused for someone to bring him down. This was his moment. And he was going to revel in it. Only wish Clare was here to see this. He knew that she would be proud.

KC stood before the rest of the crowd, "Wow…I didn't expect this. But I'd really like to thank Coach Carson for working with me, and helping to improve. And to my wonderful girlfriend for being very supportive through this whole season, always believing in me. And of course to my team mates who really are part of the reason we've come this far. Thanks," he said before stepping down.

"Ali, Clare, fancy seeing the two of you here tonight," Eli said, as he walked up to their table, with Fiona in tow.

"We're having a girls night," Clare said.

"I'm just surprised you aren't with KC, at the banquet."

"He couldn't take me," leaving out the details of the reasons.

"Oh that's really too bad."

"Well we've got to get to our movie, it was nice seeing the two of you," Fiona said, dragging Eli away. Once they were out of hearing distance, "You've got that look again."

"What are you talking about?" he said, not sure what she was referring to.

"The Clare I miss you, and want you look." She really wondered whether he would ever get over her. It had been over 3 months, and still he was there.

"I will admit I do miss her, but I'm over it. I'm okay with us being friends."

"If you say so." He was either lying, or he really had made himself believe it. The eyes never lie, and what she saw was defiantly love. It made her sad a little because she always hoped that he would see her as something more, once Clare broke his heart. She guess she would just have to settle for his friendship.

"Coach this really was a good night. Thanks for all your help. This award really is thanks to you."

"Well KC you worked hard, and I was happy to help."

"I'm going to see if I can catch Clare before curfew."

"Oh…."

Noticing the Coaches tone, "What?"

"Well I was hoping to go over some video of the team we play Monday. Get a step ahead of the competition."

"Well I guess I could check it out for a bit."

"I've got a room upstairs. We can watch it up there."

"Okay," following the coach. In the back of his mind he wondered if this was a good idea going up there. But again he ignored his gut feeling.
