I do not own Degrassi or any other characters utilized in this story

Chapter 3

High school is going to be a blast, I thought to myself as I entered Degrassi in hand with my girlfriend Julia. I looked over at her and smiled, I still couldn't believe she was mine. During the summer Adam and I had worked really hard, we had both lost about 20 pounds, for the first time I felt good when I looked at myself in the mirror.

"What are you thinking Eli?" Julia said as she scanned the school with curiosity.

"Nothing, just thinking" I replied as I began to shake my hair from my face.

I knew to myself that nothing could ruin the way I felt right now, the feeling to have Julia's fingers intertwined into mine was just right.

After the principal of Degrassi introduced himself to us we were finally able to get our schedules. My smile faded as I became aware when Julia and I compared our schedules that we had absolutely no classes together.

Bing...

"Uhhh that freaken bell" I moaned as Julia let go of my hand.

Julia became aware of why I was upset, and gave me a half smirk...of course to master my smirk she'd have to try much harder.

She brought her lips millimeters from mine, my heart started to beat like a drum as I waited for her to brush them into mine. Suddenly I feel her warm lips on my cheek, she turns around and starts walking to her class which was Algebra, and I just stand their dumbfounded of what my girlfriend had just done.

Yup...nothing could ruin this year for me

As I entered my first class which was Honors English I noticed some familiar faces. At the front of the class on the left side Clare and Wesley were seated. They were babbling about a new book from what I could interpret, they turned to me and went quiet. I passed by them giving them one of my favourite smirks, as I sat next to some other kids at the right side of the class.

"Well, hello students. Welcome to Degrassi. Now all of you must be really sharp to have been placed in Honors English. My name is Mr. Benson and I'd like to get to know all of you better. So please get up, state your name, and something you like to do when I point to you." Mr. Benson said he tapped his pencil on a gray binder which I imagine held the role. He had a long face with prickling eyes that seemed could dismember you with one glare, and he wore some coffee colored pants with a red vest and a green tie.

Thanks to good fortune as Mr. Benson's eyes wandered the classroom they stopped on me, he pointed to my direction "The young man in the right" he said in a thick coated voice. I let out a silent groan to myself as I stood up from my chair.

"Umm my name is Elijah Goldsworthy but I prefer to be called Eli. In my free time I love to snog my girlfriend Julia" I said glaring at Mr. Benson and at the corner of my eye I actually saw Clare giggle at my response. Mr. Benson stared at me with anger, he was about to say something when he clenched his wrist and instead starting to look around for his next victim. "You in the blue flowered shirt!" he said pointing at Clare. Clare looked back hoping she wasn't who he was referring too. I laughed to myself as I thought who in the world would wear a blue shirt with yellow flowers...only you Clare. She finally realized there was no hope, and stood up from her seat but never leaving her face from the ground.

"Young lady, we would all like to see your face" Mr. Benson said in a harsh tone. I wasn't fond of Clare...what am I saying the girl frustrated me with her saint behaviour but Mr. Benson had to chill, I mean she was trying.

Clare slowly lifted her head meeting Mr. Benson's gaze, she stumbled a bit with her first line" My...y name is Clare Edwards" she stopped grasping for air...wow I couldn't believe it was possible to be this shy."And my favourite thing to do in my spare time is write poetry" she said slowly lowering her head as she finished her sentence. She slumped her shoulders down and let herself fall into her chair. I saw Wesley pat her shoulder as Mr. Benson scanned the room for his next victim.

At lunch Fitz, Owen, and Bianca came over talking to me about the crazy adventures they had during the summer. I tried to focus on their conversation but I couldn't, Julia and I had agreed to meet in lunch and she was nowhere visible.

I felt a slight tap on my shoulder and locked eyes with Adam. "Hey" I said as I walked away from my crew, they didn't even notice they were enveloped in their summertime memories. "So how was summer I asked Adam?" as we headed to a table in the back of the cafeteria. "Well not so good, we went to the beach a lot, and well I didn't really enjoy it because of my situation" he said silently. Adam had told me about himself being a girl physically, but I didn't care because to me he would always be the wickedly cool Adam...who's a guy. Only a few people knew about Adam's condition, which was Clare, Wesley, Dave, Connor, and I.

"Oh" I replied not knowing really what to say.

"Well, where's your girlfriend man?" he said as he nudged me on the shoulder and gave me a smile. I looked around the cafeteria and replied "I wish I knew"

I stood watching the cars pass by, Julia and I had agreed to go to the Dot afterschool but since she ditched me in lunch maybe our plans had been cancelled. The wind moved my hair with its rhythm tic steps, I caught an eye of Adam walking home with Clare, he waved to me and I returned it but Clare never looked back once.

Suddenly I felt some hands cover my eyes, leading me into utter darkness.

"Guess who?" I knew that voice like the palm of my hand. I replied confidently "Julia" I felt her release her grasp on my face, and as the light welcomed me once again I felt the sharp burn of the sun's rays.

"Where were you in lunch?" I say in the gentlest voice I can make as I turn around.

"Oh about that" she says giving me a warm smile. "I was busy doing this" Julia whispers to my ear as she hands me a white paper. I open it and realize it's her class schedule and that we now have three classes together, math, history, and health. I look up to Julia to see her smiling with bright eyes; I wrap my arms around her waist and spin her in the air. I hear her giggle as I settle her down on the ground and then whisper into her ear "You're wonderful". We both enter Morty and drive away.
