Author's Note: All right so someone from France, someone from Jamaica, and four people from Canada read this! I'm so happy right now. Thanks for reading guys. But next time could you review? Oh and one last thing I also wanted to dedicate this to MadameDegrassi96 since hers was the first fanfiction I read. Alex and Becca come in next chapter… they needed to be introduced before I threw them at you, so that's why they were there last chapter. Lastly, I'm sick so I don't know when I'll be updating again so this is an I'm sorry since it wasn't supposed to go up till a few days.

MadameDegrassi96: Becca isn't a bad character… you understand her more later on but for now you're only seeing Eli's POV and he doesn't know Alex's secret. Her secret is really big in the story.

Azula Felinae: You do see more of Alex and Becca since they are main characters. You find out what Eli did in this chapter.

mcflyXlove: Thank You!

Emilyhe99: I'm updating right now

lovingyou333: Yeah it gets steamy in a couple of chapters… wet dreams anyone?

Katherine1997: Thank You! Plus I love Eclare Moments and The Real Life Game

Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi or any of the characters except Alex and Becca.

Clare POV:

I opened my eyes and immediately felt a headache coming on. I couldn't remember what had happened but it was slowly starting to come back. K.C. had came over and kissed me while I was talking to the new kid, Eli. I pushed him away but he just kept trying. Eli told him to go away and they began to fight. I stepped in between and K.C. Then, it all went black after K.C. punched me. I can't believe I stood up and took a punch for someone I just met. There's something about him though, like he's hiding behind a shell and he's scared you'll break it. He needs saving and I'm going to be his hero. Just as I came to my decision, I heard someone talking.

"Clare? Clare? Are you awake? Are you okay? Please tell me you're okay!" I could hear Eli's voice crack at the end. Why did he care this much… I had just met him.

"Eli! Relax… God you're one mental little creep aren't you?" I could hear a slightly high pitched voice say. I opened my eyes again and saw Eli and some other boy with slightly girly features and baggy clothes looking down at me. Eli sighed of relief when I opened my eyes and the other guy rolled his eyes.

"Thank god! You're awake! Why'd you step in front of me anyway? I'm a big boy I can handle myself! You could've gotten seriously hurt! What's with your boyfriend anyway? You don't want to kiss him so he forces you? That's not a ver-"Eli kept on ranting so I did the only thing I could think of to shut him up. I kissed him. It was only for a second but it was enough to make him freeze. I sat back and smirked at his shocked face.

"That was really smart Clare. I'm Adam by the way. Good way to shut Eli up… but I'd never kiss him." I smiled as Adam said that. I had felt sparks go through my lips when I kissed him but I passed it off as nothing. Deep down, though, I wished it was anything but.

"Thanks Adam. Oh and Eli? Don't get used to the kiss that was to get you to shut up and thank you for pulling K.C. off of me. Lastly, he's not my boyfriend! He's my ex… he just can't stand to see me talking to other guys. Last year, he caught me with-"I shut up before I could say I had kissed Declan's neck and K.C. had walked in when I had. That would have been very embarrassing.

"I wasn't planning on it. Who did K.C. walk in on you with and what were you doing? Plus the way he wanted to kiss you sure seemed like he was your boyfriend." Eli replied with a smirk. Now this boy was getting annoying. Why was he such a smart-ass all the time?

"None of your business Eli. Who knows I'm here anyway?" I asked with a smile on my lips.

"Just about everyone. There was a rich kid who's waiting outside right now with a Muslim girl. Declan and Alli? I think that's what they said. Then some guy named Reese came up with another guy… Peter? He works at the Dot. Then another guy came and he said his name was Spinner." I smiled thinking about everyone who had come just for me. Then I blushed when I heard Declan and Reese had come.

"Well could you let them in? I want to see them!" I said just as Declan, Alli, Reese, Peter, and Spinner walked in.

"Nice to see you too, Baby Edwards." Spin and Peter said at the same time.

"Hey Clare!" Declan, Alli, and Reese said at the same time. Then they all burst out laughing.

"Hey guys! Declan, Peter, Reese, Spinner, Adam and Eli; I want you to promise me something."

"What?" they all said together again. I smiled before continuing.

"You guys have to promise to not kill K.C. I can't have you in jail." I said. They all groaned and began to protest but I cut them off. "You do anything and I will never talk to you again!" I grinned seeing the defeat on their faces.

"Clare! That's not fair!" Declan and Spinner complained. They have this thing about beating up people who are mean to me. Declan has become like an older brother after that little incident last year. Eli looked confused when they began speaking to me but he held it in. They HAD just met but he felt connected to her. I looked around and decided to get up. Immediately, Eli pressed me down.

"Not yet. The nurse has to make sure you're okay and then I'm walking you to all of your classes. I don't want you walking around hurt after you took a punch for me. I still think it was completely unnecessary, I can take a hit." When Eli said he could take a hit he flinched and Adam looked at him with a worried expression. As if on cue, the nurse walked in and gave me the okay to get up and walk around. I was out of the door when I noticed that my parents hadn't come to see me. I know they had been fighting but was it enough that they couldn't even come and see their daughter after she had been unconscious? I could feel the tears well in my eyes when I thought about the fighting.

"Hey Clare, what's wrong? Did I do something? Does your head hurt? Please, I don't want to see you cry!" Eli pleaded as a tear slipped out of my eye. He gently wiped it away and I felt sparks go through my body at his touch, he was just so warm! SNAP OUT OF IT CLARE! You're not going to fall this hard, this fast! You've only known this guy for 3 hours (The nurse told me I was out for 2 and a half hours plus the meeting time before and after the punch).

"It's nothing Eli… Don't worry; it's not your fault?" I sighed as I thought of my oh so amazing parents who hadn't come to see their injured daughter. Wait; maybe the school just didn't call them… that MUST be it. "Hey Eli? Did the school call my parents? Did they come by to see if I was okay?" I asked, hope leaking through my words as I spoke. Eli flinched like I had hit him and a shadow seemed to pass over his face.

"They called your parents and your parents asked if you would be okay… After they got an answer your parents hung up. I'm sorry… is that what's wrong? Do you want to take a personal day?" He asked gently. I debated about my answer since I had never skipped before but I just wasn't in the mood for school.

"It's okay, it's not your fault… and you know what? I do need a personal day, so let's go." I said and watched the shock float across his face. Just as we were leaving I heard my ringtone blasting through the speakers on my HTC Droid Incredible. Only one person had this ringtone and I was dreading picking it up.

Ooh! Who do you think is calling Clare? You wish you knew I replied to every review I got BEFORE I posted this chapter so I hope you're happy. Please if you have any suggestions Personal Message me or review. I'm always open to constructive criticism.
