[A/N] Thank you all for the amazing reviews! Here's chapter two...the last one before they actually arrive in England. That's where the real fun will begin. ;)

Enjoy!

"This is just like him." I muttered to myself, twisting my body around in every direction in search of the raven haired boy I knew so well. "Where is he?"

I managed to lock eyes with Adam who was sitting next to his overbearing mother on the other side of the crowded room.

"Any sign of Eli?" He mouthed and I shook my head before glancing down at my watch. Ten minutes until the meeting started...

Biting my bottom lip, I pulled out my phone and sent a text, somewhat nervous over the answer I would receive.

You do know the trip meeting is today, right?

Jumping slightly as the phone buzzed moments later on the table, I snatched it up and quickly read Eli's response.

Of course, I'm walking into Degrassi right now. Did you seriously think I forgot? That hurts my heart Clare.

I sighed in relief and smiled, my anxiousness fading away at his sarcastic remark.

No...okay well maybe. Would it kill you to be on time once in a while? :P

While I waited for his reply, I glanced up at my parents who were sitting across from me at the small table. Although they were sitting right next to each other, both of them managed to ignore the other entirely. Frowning, I looked back down at the tabletop. If it was this bad now, I didn't even want to think about how they would behave towards each other after the divorce.

Due to the fact that I was completely lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice anyone sneaking up on me until they were right behind my chair

"I'm here." a silky voice whispered in my ear.

Gasping, I quickly turned my head and saw Eli's amused emerald eyes staring straight into mine. "Would it kill you to be on time?" he mocked, in an over exaggerated girly voice.

I crinkled my nose and lightly poked him in the stomach, "I don't sound like that."

He rolled his eyes, "That is exactly what you sound like."

I crossed my arms, "Well at least I don't-"

My reply was cut short by someone clearing their throat. I glanced over at my dad and blushed, having momentarily forgotten that my parents were still there.

"Elijah." My mom said, her voice laced with irritation and disgust.

Gazing up at Eli, I noticed him crossing his arms and opening his mouth to say something smart back. I quickly stood up and shook my head slightly at him, before turning back to my mom and dad. "We're going to go talk to Adam." I announced.

Taking Eli's hand, I led him away before my parents were able to protest. "Let's not give my mom anymore of a reason to hate you, shall we?"

"I was just going to say hello." Eli said, feigning innocence, "Honest."

"Yeah, that's what you said the last time you started an argument with her." I mumbled, dodging a tall blonde haired girl who seemed unaware of the mob of people around her.

"She asked if I was wearing your skinny jeans! There was no way I was going to stand by and let her insult my individual style."

I gave him a little nudge as we reached Adam's table, "Well they are a bit tight."

"You love me in them." Eli teased, before turning his attention to Adam. "What's up dude?"

Adam looked up at us like we were a gift from God. "Mom, why don't you go talk to Clare's parents. They're right over there." He said, pointing in the direction Eli and I had just arrived from.

Mrs. Torres nodded and rose from her seat. Looking over at me, she smiled, "Hello Clare." She then unwillingly let her eyes drift over to the right, where they fell on Eli. She set her mouth in a prim line and walked away, mumbling under her breath about him being a "bad influence on her son."

Eli and I took a seat, neither of us saying a word until Mrs. Torres was completely out of earshot.

Before I could break the silence, Eli beat me to it, "It's great to see that the one thing both of your moms have in common is hating me."

Adam chuckled, "She doesn't hate you. She just thinks you're irresponsible."

Eli lifted a hand up to his heart, "Me irresponsible? How so?"

I kicked him under the table, "Don't even get us started. The list would never end."

He nudged my knee with his, "You're supposed to defend me."

"Too bad." I snickered, sticking my tongue out at him.

Just as I was turning my head away, Eli leaned down and kissed me, opening his mouth to bite my tongue slightly. My face turned bright red as he pulled away, his features arranged in a playful grin.

"I do believe I've warned you about what would happen if you stuck your tongue out at me." He smirked, entertained by my shocked expression.

"Oh my God, I swear you two get worse and worse every day. Just kill me now." Adam groaned, covering his face with his hands.

Eli laughed and I giggled nervously along, watching as middle aged man with a microphone made his way towards the front of the room. Elbowing Eli in his side to make him quiet, I nodded toward the man as he began to speak.

The meeting had officially begun.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for coming tonight as there are a lot of important details we must discuss regarding the upcoming honors trip to England."

Feeling something tickling my knee, I tried to move my leg, widening my eyes as I felt a hand tighten its grip. Looking at Eli out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a small smile twitching at his lips.

Putting my attention back on the speaker, I tried to concentrate on what he was saying as Eli slowly ghosted his fingers up and down my thigh.

"We are hoping that the students already have valid passports as oversees travel without one is otherwise unachievable."

Eli's hand slid closer to my inner thigh and I bit my lip to keep a whimper from escaping my lips.

"The final date we will accept permission forms and money is May thirty first..."

My ears no longer heard the words coming out of his mouth when Eli's fingers drifted dangerously close to my lap. Biting my lip hard enough to draw blood, I let my hand fall under the table and smacked his arm away.

I heard him groan and whisper, "Sorry, I didn't mean to go that far."

Taking his hand, I intertwined our fingers together to let him know he was forgiven.

"That concludes the basic information. Folders containing more thorough information, permission forms, and collection envelopes will now be passed around."

"Well looks like I better go find my mom." Adam said, "Try not to do anything too inappropriate while I'm gone." He added before walking away.

"Too late." I muttered as Eli looked away guiltily.

"Speaking of parents, where are Cece and Bullfrog?" I asked, looking around for the iconic pair.

Eli took two folders from a lady giving them out. "Working. They trust me enough to get all the info."

"Oh." I nodded, getting up. "Well I guess I should go give this folder to my parents." I leaned down to give him a quick kiss, "Be right back."

I hadn't even made it halfway across the room before the same oblivious blonde girl from before slammed into me.

"Oh I'm so sorry!" she shrieked as I stumbled backwards, catching myself before I fell.

"It's okay." I said quickly, ready to walk past her but she blocked my path.

"I'm Samantha Norris. I'm a junior at Lakehurst and I am so excited to be going to Europe!"

I care because? Not wanting to be rude, I introduced myself, "Clare Edwards. I'm a sophomore here at Degrassi and I'm looking forward to the trip too. We're going to learn so much."

Samantha widened her brown eyes at me and cackled, "Learning? I'm talking about sneaking out at night. Hopefully with a boy."

Apparently I was the only person thinking about the education part of the trip.

"Oh." was all I said, trying to hint that I wanted to stop talking to her. She didn't pick it up.

"I think that guy right over there is without a doubt the hottest out of all of them here. I wonder what school he goes to. It's not mine because I definitely would have remembered him."

I warily followed the direction of her eyes and choked on a laugh when I noticed she was staring at Eli.

"Isn't he so sexy?" she said, practically drooling, "Do you think I could get him to sleep with me?"

A mixture of jealousy, anger, and disbelief washed over me all at once. "I don't know, why don't I go ask him?"

She stared at me open mouthed. "You know him?"

"He's my boyfriend." I said curtly, before turning on my heel and making my way back over to Eli.

He noticed me coming and got to his feet, raising his eyebrows questioningly. Without a second thought, I grabbed the front of his black shirt and pulled his lips down to mine, wasting no time as I poked my tongue into his mouth. My mouth curled up into a smile as he tightly wrapped his arms around waist. Snaking my arms up and around his neck, I moved my lips and tongue with his passionately until I needed to pull back and breathe.

"What was that about?" Eli asked, inhaling deeply as he leaned his forehead against mine.

"This random girl Samantha asked me if I thought she could get you to sleep with her so I informed her that you were my boyfriend. I just wanted to make sure I got the point across." I added innocently, watching as she stomped away furiously, nearly knocking over an elderly woman.

"Hm." Eli smirked, "Maybe I should make you angry more often. That kiss was really hot."

I smiled and leaned closer to whisper against his lips. "Glad you liked it. But you're still going to teach me more in England right?"

"Absolutely." he growled before crashing his lips to mine once more.

I hope I wrote that well enough. I don't want to disappoint anybody.

Please Review, I need to know what I'm doing wrong, and I what I'm doing right.
