KC was sitting in the Zen garden listing to music, when Clare walked in.
"Hey." he said
"Hi. Whats up?"
"Nothing, you?"
"Not a thing. Eli and I were supposed have lunch, but he had to meet with his probation officer, so I'm bored. Thought I'd see how my old buddy KC was doing." Clare smiled
"Bored too." He couldn't help but smile. Clare's smile always made him smile.
"How have you been really KC?" Clare sat down next to him
"Ok I guess. Juts things are kind of wired. You being with someone, Alli, Jenna. I just feel out of place." KC said
"Why don't you try dating?" Clare said
"I don't know" KC said
"Come on K, out of all the girls that attend Degrassi, there isn't one you like?" Her blue eyes were piercing into his soul. How KC wanted to tell her that she was the only girl he thought about, the only one he wanted. The only one he could see himself with.
"No. Clare there isn't any one." Just then the bell rang. The walked out of the garden
"Well keep your eyes out K. Your dream girl is out there. Probably right under your nose." Clare told him
"I bet she is right in front of me." he said looking at her. Or right next to me, he added silently . Just then, Amy (a girl in there science class)walked by them
"Hi Clare." she said nicely and look at KC with awe struck eyes "Hi KC."
"Hi Amy" Kc smiled at her she shyly walked away. Clare got a mysterious look on her face
"You should ask out Amy." Clare said
"What no." KC said
"Come on K, she is cute and smart. Two things you like in a girl." KC thought about it. Amy was cute. She had medium length hair, she dressed kinda normal. She was one of the smartest girls in the class. KC found her attractive, but he didn't want to date a girl he didn't really know
"I don't know. I don't know her. I don't want to go on a alone date with someone I don't know." then Clare's face lit up
"Come on a double date with Eli and I. We all can go to the break room." Clare said. KC knew Clare. She would not stop till he agreed to the double.
"Fine." KC said
"Great. I will set it up. Oh this is gonna be fun." Yeah KC thought. He would watch the girl of his dreams make out with someone else and entertain another girl. Yippie!
…...
"She set up this date with Amy, and I don't want to go." KC said. He was at his locker with Connor, Dave and Wesley
"Why not?" Dave said
"Amy is cute." Wesley said
"Really cute." Connor said
"I am not saying she is ugly. She is really cute. But I don't like her. And that would be wrong to go out with someone I don't really like." KC said
"True." Dave said "So what are you gonna do?"
"Cancel."
"KC you tell Clare you want to cancel, she pesters you, you get tried of lying and you blurt out that you love her." Connor said. KC thought about it.
"Your right. So what do I do?" KC asked
"You go on the date. If it doesn't work, you can tell her you gave it honest try. And who knows, something may click." Connor said
"Again your right." KC shook his head. "Its tomorrow. Goodie!"
…...
"Get off my back Alli. I can be friends with Bianca!" Drew told her
"Oh sure. You are just gonna be friends with the big school slut. I buy that." Alli rolled her eyes
"Your such a vindictive bitch!" Drew stormed off
"Don't walk away from me." Alli tried to grab his arm.
"Leave me alone!" he just left her standing there. She was angry. She walked over to Clare's locker where Eli was.
"Why are guys such dicks!" she shouted to them
"Hey!" Eli said offended
"Besides you." Alli said
"Better." Eli replied
"Let me guess, another fight with Drew?" Clare said
"Yeah!" Alli said "he doesn't get that when he hangs out with Bianca, the school slut it bothers me!"
"Yeah well she is hot." Eli said and Clare elbowed Eli "Ow!" he said. "Not that I like her, but." Clare glared at him. She wasn't upset that he said she was hot, as she was at upset Alli was,
"I think what Mr. Put-His-Big-Foot-In-His-Mouth, is trying to say, you need to talk to Drew. Communication is the most important part of any relationship." Clare said "Come Foot-In-Mouth." Clare dragged Eli away. Just the Dave came up to her.
"What did Drew do now?"
"Why do you assume he did something?" Alli asked
"Cause he is always doing something." Dave said
"He is hanging out with Bianca and he doesn't get how that bothers me."
"If I was your boyfriend, I wouldn't look at another girl." he told her and walked away. Why can't Drew be like Dave?
…...
"Clare, do you and Eli wanna go the movies with Adam and me?" Jenna said
"Can't. Eli and I are going on a double date with KC and Amy."
"Ew." Jenna said
"Ew what? Amy is cute." Clare said
"Oh I am not Ewing her, I am Ewing you." Jenna said
"What do you mean?"
"Why are you going on a double date with your ex?"
"Cause my ex is now my bff, that is why."
"You are a weirdo. I would never go out with Adam and KC. How does Eli feel?" Jenna asked
"He seems OK with it." Clare said
"Seems OK or is OK?"
"He is OK with it." Clare said "I think..
"Don't think, Clare bear, know." Jenna said
…...
After basketball practice Dave walked home when he saw Drew making out with a girl with black curly hair. He stopped. Alli has straight hair. He watched in horror as Bianca kissed Drew goodbye. Once Bianca was gone Dave walked right up to Drew
"What the hell?" Dave said
"What?"
"Your cheating on Alli!" Dave shouted
"So?"
"So this will kill her!"
"She will be fine, cause I am not gonna tell her. And neither are you." Drew said stepping closer to Dave. "If you do, let just say, I would hate to rearrange your pretty little face." Drew pushed passed Dave. Dave didn't know what to do.
…...
Clare, Eli, Amy, and KC were on the date. Amy was pretty interesting KC thought. She wasn't a bad date. She wasn't clingy. She was funny and KC liked hanging out with her. But there is one thing he realized she wasn't. One thing she could never be. No matter how much he wanted her to be, she would never be Clare.
"I hate pool. I am so bad at it." Amy said.
"KC, Amy is bad at pool. Go help her." Clare hinted. KC went over to Amy and showed her out to play. They laughed as she shot and missed badly.
"See I told you guys I was bad." Amy looked shyly away
"But luckily you have the best teacher. KC can teach you anything." Clare put her hand on KC shoulder.
"As long as Connor doesn't mind getting hit in the head with the ball." and Clare started laughing
"I don't get it." Amy said
"Oh its just one of their inside jokes." Eli said looking away awkwardly.
"Well last year, KC tried to show me how to shoot a basket. Cause I am horrible at sports."
"I mean horrible, super bad" KC teased
"Anyways afterwords, KC tried to be suave and pass Connor the ball," Clare said "And he chucks it trying to get it to him, but instead nails him in the head." Clare giggled
"The point is Clare shot a basket. I remember holding the ball to help Clare and all I thought was how lucky I was to be there with her." Kc looked at Clare and did not take his off Clare. "it was like here was this amazing girl and she was with me." KC and Clare got lost in their own world.
"I gotta to the bathroom." Clare said. She shook in head in the stall. She felt this familiar sick and twisted knot in her stomach. The one only KC could bring out. She felt worse knowing Eli was right outside. She left the bathroom. Eli wasn't there and neither was Amy
"Hey." KC said "Eli went to pay."
"And Amy?"
"She went home early." KC was sitting down and Clare sat next to him.
"Oh so what did you think of her?"
"She was cute and nice, but it wouldn't work out."
"Why? What is stopping you?" Clare looked at him
"Think about Clare. You are not that stupid." he got up and walked out.
The sad part was that knew she knew what he meant. But he couldn't. It was his choice. He broke her heart last year. She didn't leave him. He chose to leave her for Jenna. He probably was just wanting what he could not have. Which was her.
…...
Dave knocked on a door.
"Hello Dave." Mrs. Bandari said
"Hi, Mrs. Bandari, is Alli home? She left her book at Clare's. I was just there. She is helping me out so I thought I would give this to her." He lied
"Oh OK." she turned her head "Alliah, you have a guest." she looked at Dave "Come on in"
"No I will be a minute." then Alli appeared
"Dave whats up?" her mom was no wear in sight
"I need to talk to you." Alli shut her door,
"What about?" Alli asked
"Its about Drew." Dave said
"Oh we are fine. He stopped hanging out with her. Drama over."
"No Alli. Its not."
"Come on, Dave I know Drew can be an ass sometimes but he loved me and I love him." Alli said
"No he doesn't."
"What do you mean?"
"He is cheating on you with Bianca." Dave said
"What?" Alli asked with horror
"Yes, I saw them making out after practice." Dave said
"Your lying!"Alli accused
"Why would I lie about this Alli? Think about it!"
"Cause your a jack ass"
"You know what I think? I think your mad at me cause you know its true and you don't want to admit that Drew is a dirty lying cheating douche bag!" Dave said. Alli smacked him. She immediately realized what she did, and felt bad
"Oh god Dave. I am so sorry." she reached out to him.
"You know what? Fine. Just don't some crying to me when he hurts you. I am done being our knight in shinning armor and you end up treating me like a peasant." he walked away. He felt tears coming on which he would have fought back, but tonight he couldn't. He let them fall. Fall hard like he had. That is what you get for falling for the girl out of your league.
