Hey guys! This is the fourth chapter! I was really bored and I decided to update after I came back from seeing the Avengers haha. Enjoy and review!
I do not own Degrassi
Eli's POV
As I walked into the Dot, questions kept running through my head, Clare just didn't seem like herself in Dawes today. I saw her talk to Imogen and I know I wasn't imagining things. She hates Imogen, so why is she talking to her? The way she had that devilish look on her face when I asked her what was going on and yet she avoided the question.
I sat at a booth waiting for the rest of them to come in and join me. I felt someones hand on my shoulder "Hey, looks like it's just you and I for now" I looked up from my book and smiled "Imogen, hey. Right on time" I said chuckling a little "Do you want to get started? I'm sure they wouldn't mind" I said once more and pointed to her book. She nodded "That'd be great" she responded.
I smiled and opened up the page to derivatives "Not sure how you don't understand this stuff. It's quite simple, probably the simplest section out of the entire chapter. The hardest thing you'll probably do in this section is memorizing the quotient rule and product rule" I said, she looked at me weird like I was speaking a foreign language. I coughed a little "Right, uh so. Let's just start off with the simple stuff first, alright?" she nodded.
"Power rule. Alright. Simple. Easy concept, you'll get this one right away" I pointed to one of the problems "You always multiply the exponent by the coefficient then subtract one from the exponent. So the exponent in this problem is 2 and the coefficient is 4 so multiply it and subtract 1 from 2" she still looked at me weird "Um, 8x?" she said looking at me weird, I nodded "Yes. Very good… Look sorry, I'm not really a tutoring type of person" I coughed out "Don't worry about it. I'm a patient girl" she said laughing a little. I smiled at her.
How could Clare hate her? She was such a sweetheart.
"Eli" I heard and saw Clare walking over to the table with Adam. I scooted over making room for her "Hey" I whispered and kissed her lightly on the forehead "Elijah Goldsworthy, there are people around us" she said while gently slapping me on the arm. I shrugged.
"Oh, Imogen. I didn't see you there" I saw her smirk.
There she goes again with her devilish smirk, does she have a dirty trick up her sleeve?
Clare's POV
Her face was priceless when Eli kissed my forehead "You two are dating?" she finally said, I nodded "See, about earlier. I was trying to hint that towards you but the bell rang" I said innocently "I asked if you two were friends, you said yes, you didn't tell me you were his girlfriend" she said glaring a little "Relax Imogen. I was just answering your question, I didn't know you wanted a more detailed answer" I rolled my eyes a little.
"Okay, can we just study?" Adam spat out "We don't need a fight just because both of you like Eli. Imogen, Eli is Clare's boyfriend, get over it. Clare, Eli is your boyfriend, be happy about it and stop trying to think that Imogen is going to steal him away from you. Clearly, the poor girl didn't even know you two were dating" he said while writing something on his table.
I glared at him a little "Asshole" I muttered under my breath, Eli looked at me and I could already feel that this study session was getting even more tense as minutes passed by.
"I gotta go" I finally said grabbing my books and bags "My mom told me not to stay out tonight. Probably just another dinner with her little new boyfriend, Glen" I grunted a little and started making my way out of the door. I felt someone grab my arm when I was at my car "What's up with you?" I heard him say, I turned around "Nothing. I didn't do anything, Eli" I answered my tone coming out harsher than I wanted it to be.
"No, Clare. You knew she didn't know we were together after you guys talked before class. Clare she's just a new girl at Degrassi! She's lonely. She has no friends, she moved from the States for Christ sakes. How many times have I told you? She's getting use to the new environment" he said loudly "Why are you trying to make her jealous? Do you think I'm an unfaithful boyfriend? Do you think I would actually let her come between us?" he said sighing and squeezing the bridge of his nose.
I was about to open my mouth to say something but he stopped me, "Save it" he put his hand up "I don't want to hear it. I'll just call you tonight" he said and walked away "Eli" I yelled out, he never turned around instead he went back into the Dot and continued tutoring Imogen.
Eli's POV
"Sorry about that" I said to Imogen "I don't know what's gotten into her lately" Imogen nodded "It's cool. I understand, I wouldn't want my boyfriend to hang out with another girl either" she said smiling at me. I nodded "Hey, um, do you want to finish this up at my house? My mom is making dinner and she expects me to be there" I said laughing, I looked at Adam who smiled at me "Well thank you for the invite, Goldsworthy. I would love to!" he said sarcastically "You're invited too, Adam" I rolled my eyes.
"Well then. Let's get going" Imogen said while packing up her things. I looked at Adam who had a 'You're going to get killed by Clare' look on his face. I nodded "I've got it under control" I mouthed, he shrugged and we made our way to my house.
"MOM! DAD!" I yelled out "In the kitchen baby boy. Dinner's about ready" I heard her reply back. All three of us made way to the kitchen "Oh Eli! You didn't tell us we were going to have company!" she said smiling while kissing me on the cheek "Where's Clare bear?" she asked "She had to go home. Another family dinner" I responded "Ah" she said smiling and then looking at Imogen and Adam "Well, Eli, Adam, are you going to introduce me to this new friend?" she asked raising her eyebrows.
"Oh right" I looked at Imogen "Mom, Imogen. Imogen, this is my mom, Cece" I said "Oh it's very nice to meet you, Mrs. Goldsworthy" Imogen said while shaking her hand "Oh please, sweetie, call me Cece. Mrs. Goldsworthy makes me feel a bit old" Cece chuckled. "And you can call me Bullfrog" I heard my dad's raspy voice coming from the table.
"Oh it is very pleased to meet you" Imogen said again, Adam rolled his eyes "Alright. Introductions over! Can we please eat? I'm starved" he said making his way to the table about to snatch a taco shell from the plate "Adam, no no no. We have to wait for everyone to get to the table" Cece said slapping his hand away from the shells. Adam grunted "Fine".
"Sorry my parents are a little weird at times" I said to Imogen, she shook her head "It's totally fine. I like it" she laughed.
"Also, Eli. We have a surprise for you" I heard Bullfrog say, I looked at both my parents "Well, am I going to see it or what?" I asked. Bullfrog and Cece looked at each other and smiled and then started to lead us towards the door "Ta da!" they both yelled out when we got to the side of the house where we parked our cars and there I saw a new black Mercedes Benz before my eyes.
"Seriously?" I looked at them "You're getting so much better baby boy. We thought you deserved to have a car again. Now don't crash it. This is a beaut, more expensive than Morty" Bullfrog said, I rolled my eyes "Thanks guys. Really. Now I don't have to depend on Clare" I said laughing a little.
"Wow, I'm definitely going to have to go to school with you now" I heard Adam say "Ouch, my best friend using me just because I now have a nice car!" I mockingly said in a hurtful tone. Adam rolled his eyes "C'mon let's eat. I know all of us are getting hungry" Cece said laughing and made her way back inside.
"After you" I said to Imogen, she smiled and went inside. I sighed thinking about what Clare was doing, I grabbed my iPhone out of my pocket about to text her but I figured I was the last person she would want to speak to.
Yea I'm not too happy about the end but I had no idea how to end it. Thanks for reading and review please!
