Eli's POV

Cece drove me to school the next morning, She asked if I thought about drving Morty again. I just told her yes but I still hadn't made up my mind yet. Today, it was raining. Not a heavy downpour, just a gentle pitter-patter. It was... calm, peaceful almost. Although it helped with how I was feeling, it didn't help me forget things weren't peaceful right now.

When we pulled put to Degrassi Cece offered to help me get into school, but I told her I would manage. I already need a ride to school, I didn't need my mother helping me into school too. "See you later, Baby Boy." Cece said as she drove away. Now that I was out of the car, the rain began to fall onto my head shoulders and cast (Which is ok to get wet) I could see little drops of water on my shirt. I stood there for a minute, enjoying it.

"Hey Eli, what's up?" I heard someone call. I turned around to see Adam heading my way. Adam is a good guy, even if he's really a girl. He had the hood part up on his sweatshirt to keep from getting wet. "Hey, Adam, not much." I said. "Aren't you going into school?" Adam asked. "Why should I? It's much more calmer out here." I answered.

"Very funny, c'mon let's go." Said Adam and started walking towards the school, I followed him. He even walked with me in the handicapped entrance, not caring about the stares people were giving us.

"Hey, so I was at the Dot yesterday, I overheard two girls talking about you." Adam told me about halfway into school. "Oh no, people were gossiping about me?" I said with a lot of sarcasm. Adam knows I don't care when people talk about me. "No seriously, there in Grade 9. One asked the other about you and she freaked out telling her all these reasons to stay away from you." Adam explained. Wait a sec, two Grade 9's?

"Wait, was one a brunette?" I asked. "Yeah, why do you know her?" Adam asked me. It had to be Sara. But why would she ask one of her friends about me? And now that they tried to convience her I was bad news, would she still wanna talk to me?

"Nevermind, it's not important." I lied. "Kay. But just so you know I told the brunette you're a good guy after her friend left." Adam informed me. "Thanks, you are too." I told him.

"Oh, and by the way her friend was kinda hot..." He added. "Are you serious, Adam?" I asked looking at him. By now we were in the school walking in the halls to our lockers. "What? I'm just saying," Adam defended himself. "Well, you can have her if you want, I'm not interested in someone I haven't even seen." I told him.

But I was, however interested in someone I have met, the other day. But I wasn't so sure now if she would feel the same way about me.

Sara's POV

It was raining the next day. Some people hate the rain, it can put them in a bad mood. Others love it, and go for long walks in it, even if it's really cold. Me, I don't really go either way. Sometimes rain is a good thing and is calming to just stare at through a window. Then there are the times when it sucks cause it ruins plans or just makes your day worse. But it's also use in a lot of romance movies to make a scene more dramatic, that's when it can be romantic.

Today, it was none of those things, it was just there. I walked into school and went to my locker to get my books for the next few classes. I was hoping to see Eli somewhere close, but he was nowhere in sight. Even if all those things Justine said about him yesterday were true, I wanted to talk to him.

"Hey," Someone called, I knew it wasn't Eli. I turned around to Justine coming my way. Instead of wearing slacks like I do, Justine wears the skirt and knee-high socks. She even makes the school uniforms look fashionable when she's wearing them. "Hey." I said and started getting more books out of my locker.

"Have you seen Eli today?" She said Eli like someone would say, Lord Voldemort, like it was not allowed. "No, the day's just started." I answered. "Well, just try to stay away from him." She informed me. "I can't tell if you're being protective or paranoid." I said slamming my locker shut and started walking toward class. She followed me.

"I'm being protective. I just don't want you getting hurt again." Justine said. I stopped in my tracks. She had to go and bring that up. Memories began flooding in. "Sara...I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that." Justine said.

"It's fine, forget it. Maybe you're right, I shouldn't be liking another guy now." I told her and started walking to class. Maybe Justine was right, but I still liked Eli. This was really confusing, life at Degrassi is insane!

Sorry this chapter was short, I'm also writing another story. But I hoped you liked it anyway. And Sara will later explain why she can't have a boyfriend and why she shouldn't like another guy later on, so stayed tuned.
