P.S. Imogen doesn't exist in this fan fiction and neither does Eli's play sorry! Oh and Eli's foot is broken from the car crash but Morty's already fixed! J
"What about the locker?" I asked as I sat down beside him, bracing myself for the worse. "Uh, can you keep a secret?" he asked. I nodded "Why?" I asked. "Well before I dated Clare, I had a hoarding problem. But she helped me through it. And now that we're not dating anymore, it kind of came back a little." He said with an upset look on his face. "Ugh, fine I'll clean the locker." I said jokingly. "Can you keep a secret?" I asked, He nodded. "You have to promise not to tell anyone ever." I said. "I promise." He promised. I looked around and made sure no one was looking at us, and lifted my sleeve. His eyes widened as he saw the cuts. "Yeah I'm a cutter, so this is you're chance you don't have to be my friend." I said bitterly. "What makes you think I don't want to be your friend?" He asked. "Well people usually get freaked out by the cuts." I said. "Well people usually get freaked out by the hoarding." he said. I smiled and said, "Well I gotta go get some dinner or my mom will freak." I said. "Okay, see ya tomorrow!" he said. "Bye!" I said as I walked away.
When I got home, my mom was up. "Did you get dinner?" she asked. "Yeah, I got some burgers." I said. "What took you so long?" She asked. "Umm, I ran into a friend." I said. "Okay…" She trailed off
After dinner I went to my room, I lifted my sleeve and looked at the cuts. I really hope Eli doesn't tell anyone, or tries to 'help' by making me see a therapist or something. I do not know why I trusted Eli, I barely knew him. But it doesn't feel that way. I changed my clothes, and went to bed.
I woke up and saw what time it was. "Seven thirty, better get up before I'm late!" I said as I got up. I put my clothes on, put on some eyeliner, and put my hair in two braids. "Bye mom!" I yelled as I walked out the door. I started walking to school.
I walked in the front doors of Degrassi, and started walking to my locker Eli was already there. "Hey." he greeted me. "Hey what's up?" I said. "Nothing, just another day at Degrassi." he said, then a feminine looking boy came up to us. "Hey, who's your friend?" he asked Eli. "Adam this is Ellie, Ellie this is Adam." he introduced us. "Hey." he said. "Hi." I said as I started cleaning the locker. "So, why is she cleaning your locker?" Adam asked Eli. "Because my locker is now, our locker." he. "Why?" asked Adam. "Because there apparently, isn't enough lockers in the school." I said angrily.
I walked into English class and sat down at my seat, and Eli turned around in his seat. "Ellie?" he asked. "Yeah?" I said. "Why do you cut?" he asked quietly. "I don't know, I guess because it was the only pain I could control." I said. "That makes sense." he said. "You're the only one who thinks that." I said. "I thought I was the only one who knew." he said. "Well at my last school everyone knew, but they just thought I was a freak." I said bitterly. "I'm sorry." he said. "Don't be, its not your fault." I said. "I know, I'm just sorry it happened." he said, and I smiled.
At lunch I sat with Eli and Adam. "Hey, what's up?" I greeted them. " Adam's doing the new radio show!" Eli said excitedly. "Cool!" I said. "So what's up with you?" said Adam. "Well today is my second day at Degrassi and I have two friends!" I said jokingly. "It's a new record!" Eli replied jokingly and we all laughed.
I put my stuff in the locker at the end of the day. "Hey, Ellie do want another ride home?" he asked me as we were walking out the doors of Degrassi. "Sure." I said and got into the hearse and he drove me to my house. "Ok, this is your stop." He said as he parked in front of my house. We looked at each other for a minute and then we kissed. "Umm, I have to go." I said as I got out of the hearse and went inside.
