Chapter 3

Flashback:

Peter had thought about the conversation he had with Clare the day before. He didn't know what had compelled him to talk to her, its not like it was his problem that his ex's little sister was having boy problems. He thought about the first time she met Clare. It was while he was dating her sister Darcy, he was at their house doing homework, when Clare came down to get a snack. She was just as Darcy had described her, shy and quiet, She barely spoke two words before running back up the stairs.* End of Flashback*She was just an innocent kid back then, heck, she still was."Why do I care so much?" He thought, as he laid out looking at the ceiling of his room trying to sleep. He thought about how he long he was with Darcy. Darcy. It had been only a year that they had dated, but they had gone through a lot in that short span of time. What with the rape and the subsequent suicide attempt, he had bonded very quickly with her. He had wanted to protect her from all the bad in the world, after it was all done. Maybe that's why he felt the need to protect baby Edwards, to do what he couldn't with Darcy? He shook away his thoughts about the Edwards sisters and went to bed. He went to school that day forgetting the thoughts he had about the Edwards sisters the night before. His day went on as normal, boring, which was fine by him. He was at lunch with his friends talking about what songs to put on their set list for their band practice when Sav gets a text from somebody and it didn't look like good news. Sav's eyes widened as he shot up from his seat and started running out of the cafeteria, not knowing what to do Danny and I ran after him. We caught up to him and asked him what had happened and where we were going.

"Alli sent me a text, she says that she was eating lunch with Clare when KC came up to them-"said Sav.

"Still not getting the urgency Sav.." said Danny.

"Well if you would've let me finish," Sav said.

"Alli said that they were leaving when KC grabbed Clare and hasn't let her go and "HURRY!" Danny and I looked at him with what I assumed weren't quite convinced as to why he wanted to intervene.

"Alli's tough, Sav continued, she can take care of herself and doesn't really ever ask me for help with stuff like this, she would only ask if she thought that she or one of her friends was in serious danger."

Finally understanding what he was saying we all run outside of the school to find them. We spotted them as soon as we open the doors to the front of the school. Alli's yelling at KC who is holding Clare, who looks like she is about to cry from fear of what KC is doing or could possibly do to her in the near future.

"Alli whats going on?" Asked Sav, Danny and I had put on their fight faces on.

"Uh, Cant you tell big brother?, KC doesn't know the meaning of NO." Alli says.

"Dude what the hell?" said Danny.

"Mind your business" said that little twerp KC.

That is when I lost my cool, who does this kid think he is? Its not that I don't know what he is trying to do. I've come a long way from when I first started at Degrassi, I was quite the rebel without a cause but I've never put my hands on a girl. Not even I would go that far, especially not to a girl like Clare who couldn't defend herself. I find myself getting involved. Again. Why am I put in these situations? Before I can stop I hear myself telling KC off.

"This is our business,Clare is my friend, and is Sav's little sister's BEST FRIEND, of course we are going to defend her!" I say.

"Look Opie, I don't care who you are, this is between Clare and I so back off!" the kid says, I noticed that as he yelled at me his grip loosened on Clare's wrist. I realized that he couldn't focus on Clare if I got up in his face, so I continued,"Whatever you say. You're just a douche who cheats on sweet girls like Clare, thinking you're hot stuff. You're nothing but a two timing Justin Bieber wannabe who didn't know a good thing when you had it." Finally the kid let go of her arm, I looked at her to see if she was OK.I looked at her wrist, which was starting to bruise, that's when hell broke loose. I lost it. Catching him by surprise I hit him square in the eye, he lost his balance and fell to the floor. Danny and Sav grabbed me as to prevent me from hitting him again, Alli stood there wide-eyed while Clare ran to him, yelling at me asking why I hit him? I stopped struggling against Danny and Sav stunned by what she had just said.

"Because he hurt you, Clare, I just wanted to protect you. You are my friend."

Before she could answer Mr. Simpson came telling everyone to go to class.

"Except you two. You both are coming with me to the principal's office"...
