Ok, sorry it's late. I've been trying to work on it this week, but haven't had much luck. I wrote a new story, too, so that will be out soon! So, it was David's idea to make it like Sex Drive. Ironically, it's on Stars right now. Lol. If you haven't seen it, PLEASE DO SO! Lol, it is a HILARIOUS movie :))

Oh, don't own Degrassi (keep forgetting to say that) & I also don't own either song in this chapter. I don't wanna give it away and say what they are, because then everyone would be like huh? What would this have to do with The story? Lol, so please review! Ps. I wrote other parts to this, but I lost it, so I had to re-write it ='[[…

Oh, warning, I don't like this chapter much. I had to rush it while writing, so it might not be as good as the others. I feel bad to leave you for over a week! But, I had to pick up a dress today, so I was busy. Plus, I have a bunch of homework to do, and I haven't even started any of it. Chemistry-lab report/worksheet, geometry- study, English- read+2 character charts, piano-practice, tech-post an article, government- a collage thing… Hope this chapter doesn't disappoint!…

Sun shining in through the window woke Clare up the next morning. Eli had already been awake for a little while, he just didn't want to wake Clare up.

"Good morning."

"Morning." She yawned and stretched.

He wrapped his arms around her and prepared to give her a 'good morning' kiss.

"Stop." She giggled. "We're not alone."

"So, no one's watching." He continued to kiss her.

She cleared her throat. "Keith is."

He was laying on the bottom of the other bunk.

"Nah, he's just talking to some girl." He said.

"Some girl?" She asked.

"Yeah, he's been talking to her for a little while now."

"What happened to Steph?"

"Broke up."

"Aww.. But he's just over it like that?" She snapped her fingers.

He nodded. "Mhmm."

"He's a douche."

"He is a douche." Eli agreed.

"I hope you guys know that I can hear every word you're saying."

"Shut up, pretty boy! Just go back to talking to your mystery lover. …You know, it's pathetic. You don't even really know her."

"Eli's right. She could be a guy."

"For your information, her name is Amber, and I do know her. We're meeting soon."

"How soon?" Eli asked.

"Eventually." Keith admitted.

Eli started laughing. "Looks like somebody's desperate. Why are you talking to her if you're never gonna meet her?"

"You know what? We're going to see her." He shut the laptop loudly, waking up Heather, who was next to him.

"What's going on?" She asked.

"Keith's trying to get laid." Eli said.

"I swear, I didn't do anything last night."

"Heather! Gross! I don't have sex with Eli when you're in here, do I?"

"Well, there was that one time…" He said.

"Don't bring it up!" Clare said.

"So, where's he getting "laid"?"

"Knoxville."

"What? That's like 6 hours from here. Why do we have to go all the way there? Can't she just come here?"

"I don't know. Ask Keith."

Too late, he was angry. He was in the process of waking everyone else up. One by one, Danni, Lauren, Jennifer, Gabby, and Ashley woke up.

Lauren sat up on the top of the bunk, above Heather. "What the fuck is going on? Why did he wake us all up?"

"We're going to Knoxville." Clare said, not explaining the rest. It would be better if everyone didn't know. She felt bad enough that Eli had to harass Keith about it. She'd have to talk to him about that…

"Cool. Like a little road trip or something?"

"I guess. So, get your ass dressed. We should probably leave soon if we're going to get back before Monday."

By the next hour, everyone was ready to go. They conveniently "borrowed" one of the vans used for the sorority's trips. It would be sure to fit all nine of them. Just as they were about to drive off, they saw Danny walking up the street.

"Shit. Drive, drive, drive. Don't stop, just keep going." Eli sunk down so he wouldn't be seen.

"Oh, hey, Danny. What are you doing?" Keith was still driving slowly down the street, as Danny was walking on the sidewalk.

"I'm going to take my books back to the dorm." He smiled at Eli.

"Oh, well we can give you a lift." Keith offered.

"Really?" Danny asked.

"Yeah, sure. Just hop in."

He nodded. "Okay."

Eli was just thankful that he was sitting in the front seat, so Danny couldn't sit next to him. Ever since he stripped for him that night when he was drunk, he could never look at him the same way again.

"So, Danny, are you doing anything today?"

"Nope. Why, what did you have in mind?"

"Oh, nothing. Just a little ROAD TRIP! You in?"

"Heck yeah. Where are we going?"

"Knoxville."

"Sweet."

"Let the trip begin."

"Shouldn't I bring anything?" Danny asked.

"Like what?"

"Umm, I don't know. Clothes. Food, maybe."

"What you're wearing is fine. We can stop somewhere."

"Okay then…"

"Come on, are you sure we're going the right way?" Clare asked, 2 hours into driving. She was now sitting next to Eli, and Danny was next to him. Heather had taken the front seat, next to Keith.

"I…have no idea." Keith laughed, admitting his mistake of not printing out some directions. He turned the radio on, probably trying to ease the stress and annoyance of everyone else in the van.

"You have come to show you go on."

Danny began to sing along, sounding surprisingly decent. He actually had a beautiful voice. "Near, far, wherever you are. I believe that the heart does go on. Once more you open the door. And you're here in my heart. And my heart will go on and on…"

Everyone stopped talking just to listen to him.

"Love can touch us one time

And last for a lifetime

And never let go 'til we're gone

Love was when I loved you

One true time I hold to

In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

You're hear, there's nothing I fear

And I know that my heart will go on

We'll stay forever this way

You are safe in my heart

And my heart will go on and on…"

Keith only stopped to stare at him. "Gay." He muttered under his breath. He turned the station.

Too bad he just ended up mistakenly turning it to Radio Disney… Then Miley Cyrus' horrible voice came on: "It's the climb."

Of course, Danny had to sing along. "There's always gonna be another mountain. I'm always gonna wanna make it move. Always gonna be an uphill battle. Sometime's I'm gonna have to lose. Ain't about how fast I get there. Ain't no powers waiting on the other side. It's the climb…"

"Fuck it, I'm turning it off. We're going to play some road games." He shut the radio off.

"Ooh, what about 'I Spy'?" Ashley asked.

"Fine." Keith sighed. "I'll start. I spy with my little eye, something that is green."

"That tree." Eli pointed to a tree on the side of the road.

"No."

"That car." Clare said.

"No."

"Well, we give up! There's not much green around here."

"That tree." He pointed to a tree that was near the one Eli had said.

"What? That was stupid. I'll go…Never mind, there isn't much for any color, really. How about we count flags or something?"

"Whatever…"

"1..." He began.

"2..." Clare added.

"3..." They both said in unison.

"76..."

"193..."

"281..."

"297...Yeah, I'm getting hungry."

"Well, find an exit and I'll get us something to eat."

"There it is. A-13. Burger King."

Keith switched lanes. The Burger King was about 3 minutes away.

He enjoyed walking in with 9 other people, watching everyone's face because the huge group had just entered. He liked it because it made him feel like he had a 'pimping' posse.

They ordered their food, and then looked for some seats. It took them a few booths, but they eventually got it. Eli made sure not to sit next to Danny. But that didn't stop Danny. He sat behind Eli, in the other booth, but Eli still felt uncomfortable…

After eating, they headed back out to the van and continued their journey on the road, though they didn't really know where they were going…

It was getting late when Lauren finally suggested that they find some place to sleep for the night. There was a near-by motel, so they checked in. The room wasn't the nicest, but at least it had a bed. Although, Keith would have preferred to sleep in the car.

Lauren, Gabby, and Ashley decided to share the pull-out sofa. Keith had convinced Heather and Danni to share one of the beds with him. Jennifer slept on one of the chairs. Eli and Clare would definitely be sharing the other bed, but Danny wanted to as well, since the only available thing left was a chair, and Danny was pretty tall… Eli was terrified of sleeping next to Danny, but he didn't want him sleeping next to his girlfriend…

Eli was the first to wake up. He stretched, before all feeling came back to him. Clare's head was resting on his shoulder and her arms were around his waist. He rubbed them to warm them up. He got a little scared when he noticed that said arms were very hairy…

He looked to his other side. "Danny! Dude, what the fuck?" He jumped back, forgetting that Clare was still there. She toppled to the ground, Eli landing on top of her.

"Ow.." She groaned sarcastically. "What happened?"

He didn't answer her. Instead, he had to deal with Danny. "D-danny, are you… A-Are you …gay?"

He nodded. "Of course. You really hadn't noticed?"

"Nope. Not at all."

"I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable. It's just that when you came into my room, I felt like I was the luckiest guy on Earth. I always had a crush on you…"

"It's okay. Don't beat yourself up.. Oh, and I'm sorry about all the gay jokes…"

"No problem.. I even do it sometimes."

"Really?"

He nodded. "Yeah, but only when I'm around people who don't know I'm gay."

"Well, at least I know now. I was so afraid to be near you because I thought you would think that I was gay…"

Danny laughed. "No. Of course not. I knew that you weren't gay…"

He smiled.

Clare was 'awwing' at almost every part of the conversation.

"So, I'm thinking maybe we keep this a secret." Eli suggested. "You know how Keith will react."

"Agreed." Danny said.

Review! It'll make me feel better for writing this kind of lame chapter… =[.
