Idk if anyone else is done this, but it wouldn't surprise me. This is my own take on it. I feel as if this song really fits the whole K.C./Clare/Eli thing. Clare is telling Eli about K.C. I know, that K.C. was mentioned in the previous one-shot, but here's more in detail about it. I don't feel like on Degrassi we've seen how Eli reacts to K.C. if he's even aware of him or not.

Another Relient K song, I know. But it just fits well. The only thing the song mentions that doesn't really fit is how it mentions how the ex-boyfriend (K.C.) is missing her. (Clare) Look up the lyrics and you'll understand what I mean.

I'm posting this early because I will be away from my computer all tomorrow. (12/30/10)

Hope you like it.


Song: "My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend" by Relient K

Eli's POV

Yesterday I found out that Clare actually had a boyfriend before me. She didn't really mention him very much. I mean, Julia comes up a lot in my conversations with Clare. I can see why she wouldn't want to talk about him a lot, though.

She randomly started talking about him. It was the weirdest thing, actually. I hadn't even mentioned ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends and she just spilled her heart out.

"Eli, you need to know about my ex-boyfriend, K.C. – it's about time I've told you," she told me, getting to the point.

That name sounded familiar. "K.C.? K.C. Guthrie?" I asked her nervously.

"Uhmm. Yeah. We were a couple our freshman year," she told me, getting nervous and uncertain.

I questioned her. I wanted to know more. "Isn't he a football player? Basketball? Something like that?"

"Yep. He played basketball last year, and played football this year."

Oh. Okay. Well. How could Clare go from a jock to me? That just doesn't happen. She could get a better guy if she wanted to. Wow. It was unbelievable. I'm just undeserving of her. She decided to just bless my life.

"Eli? You still there? Eli?" I finally heard. She took me out of my thoughts and into reality.

"Yeah. Sorry."

"It's fine. So K.C. had been going out for awhile, and then Jenna came along," she told me with some anger starting to develop.

Jenna? The cheerleader… the pregnant one.

"What happened with Jenna?" I asked her, going along with it.

"Well, at first was my friend, but K.C. started to flirt with her. Later, he broke up with me. The same day he got together with her. I guess I wasn't good enough for him. He doubted us as a couple, but mostly doubted me."

K.C. left Clare for Jenna? How low is that? He had the world- Clare. The best girl ever. He wanted more. Seems impossible to me. He settled for less. I'd hate to be him.

"Wow. That's obnoxious. I bet that just hurt. I can't believe anybody would leave you. He has got to be missing out now. How could Jenna be better than you? No girl even comes close. Jenna's pregnant and now he's having more trouble than he would if he stayed with you," I said.

"Yeah. I'm glad that he didn't get the opportunity to pressure me. I realized that we didn't have a lot of chemistry after we got together. We were happier when we were just friends. But, then he couldn't even be a friend to me. He betrayed me."

"That's positive thinking. You forgot to mention something, though," I told her.

She looked confused. "What do you mean?" she asked me.

"If you two didn't break up, you wouldn't have me," I smirked.

"Oh, I see now," she said sarcastically.

I smiled. "I'm serious. He helped me out, too. He left behind such an amazing girl for me. He helped me out so much. I have a great friend and girlfriend."

She blushed. "Well, thank you. That's so sweet," she said and then kissed my cheek.

I have to admit that I owe a lot to K.C.. Except for the fact that he hurt my Clare, I have to thank him. She wouldn't have been mine if it weren't for him. Clare has made me so happy, I can't imagine being without her. She's been a blessing through everything and she means the world to me. He made a mistake and it was my gain. He's left with just a memory and I have the real deal.

Today, I saw K.C. in the hallway. I stopped him and we had a nice chat.

"Hey, K.C., yeah, you. Thanks for leaving Clare, even though you hurt her you left her for someone better. Now she's mine and it's the best thing ever. You're just missing out. I owe everything to you, man." I smirked at him.

He looked at me like I was a freak. It doesn't matter. He's just missing out. That's my girl's ex-boyfriend for you.


Too short? Yeah, Maybe. PLEASE review! I'd really appreciate it! :)
