Thanks for the reviews so far guys (: I know it seems like Clare is being really weird but that's sort of the point.. you'll get it soon enough, I promise. Plus, I didn't want to make this exactly like Degrassi would. That would be boring! Anyways, here's your next chapter.

The night passed and when the sun rose, I was still awake, not tired in the least. I decided to get up and shower. The day was Friday, and I was going to attend school today. I had a bunch of new clothes, and I couldn't wait to see Eli.

When I was dressed (in another vintage-esque dress and black flats) and ready I headed downstairs to eat. I was early, so I decided to make myself breakfast. I hadn't eaten in…I realized I didn't even know how long it had been. I was famished.

I made three eggs, two pieces of bacon and two pieces of toast, then ate them in record time. After brushing my teeth, I decided to go outside early and enjoy the morning before the bus came. Turns out, I didn't have to wait. Eli passed my house and came to a stop when he saw me standing outside. I skipped to his car and hopped in. He smiled at me, but his eyes looked wary. Like he wasn't sure if I was going to burst into tears or climb into his lap. I smiled warmly. "Good morning, Eli."

"Morning, Edwards." He smirked. It became apparent we needed to talk about last night. We were 'just friends' before that, but we could hardly stay that after the previous evening. Seeming to read my mind, he cleared his throat. "Soo, last night was…fun." His smirk became more pronounced. "I'm wondering if we can make that a habit...?" Oh my god, was he asking to go out with me? I could have squealed.

"You mean, as in, you want to be my boyfriend?"

"Wow, Clare, I hadn't thought of it but now that you mention it… I could be your boyfriend…" He was smiling now.

I laughed. "Awesome! I'm so glad I brought it up then." With that, he took my hand, and it was official. It seemed so simple. So right.

Adam didn't seem surprised at all that we'd made it official. He did, however, make a point to roll his eyes and fake gag every time we kissed (which was a rather high amount, I must admit). It didn't even bother us.

At lunch, Eli asked if I wanted to come over tonight and watch movies or something. His parents, apparently, were going out of town for the weekend. Adam interjected.

"Aw, come on man! You've been waiting for them to leave for a month and now you're just gonna have your girlfriend over? Boooringgg!" Eli shot him a glare.

"Well, Eli, he's sort of right. Why don't you have a bunch of people over tonight, since you can? I'll still be there."

"Are you sure, Clare?"

"Of course." This would be the first party I'd go to as new Clare. I was excited to see what would happen.

I went to the store after school with Eli to get food and what not for the party. Then we went to his house to set it up. Adam had promised he (and probably, his very popular step-brother Drew) would make sure the party was known about throughout the school. We didn't know how many people would end up showing up, so we got a load of food just in case. I promised myself to make this night one to remember.

Alright, I figured this was a good place to stop- right before the party. I'm writing it right now, but I wanted to put this up right away. Sort of a filler chapter, but Eli and Clare are together now! * clap clap * Heyyyy, wanna give me suggestions for what goes down at the party? Or comment on anything so far? There's a place just for that! CLICK THE BLUE LINK. (:
