A/N - Oh. Hello! How is everyone today? I'm doing pretty good. Thanks for asking. Anyway.

So I've decided that KC is Clare's EX from junior high. Okay? Hehe. They dated for a few months until he cheated with Jenna… Yeah I'm taking Clare's high school drama and shoving it into junior high and middle school to make room for more Eli and Clare cuteness. (: Is that okay? Haha.

Thank you all who reviewed ! It seriously made my week. Can I get any more? (;

Quick note - This chapter is in a Narrators POV.

Disclaimer - I do not own Degrassi. But i do own a cute Josh Ramsay emo plushie, made by my cousin, Cameryn. (:

She may not remember her best friend from preschool perfectly. But neither did he. Clare Edwards meets and old friend, at a new school. Will their old relationship turn into something more then they ever imagined?

October 1, 2000

"Wanna go swing?" Clare looked up at Eli, and batted her thick lashes. Eli grinned a bit and nodded, taking her hand in his and running with her to the swings.

"Get on the swing!" Eli ordered and stood behind it, waiting for her to listen.

She complied and hopped on the swing. He placed his hands on her shoulder blades, and began pushing her lightly.

She giggled and squirmed a bit. "Faster?"

"Whatever you say." Eli grinned from ear to ear and pushed her harder, making her go higher. She squealed at the height but relaxed a bit when she felt Eli's hands grip her shoulder lightly to stop her from going to fast.

Once she was going at a slow pace again, Eli couldn't help but do an underdog. He pushed her as hard as he could and quickly ran under the swing before she came back down.

She screamed and started giggling hard. "Eli!" she shrieked and tried to dig her feet in the sand to stop herself from moving.

"What?" he asked, trying to catch his breath from laughing.

"Your sooo mean!" she complained, getting off the swing and walking over to sit down beside him.

"Oh am i?" he feigned hurt and put his hand over his heart like he was dieing.

"Yes." she giggled. He sat up and looked at her. There eyes met and they just kept staring into them. Enjoying each others company in the hell hole they called preschool.

Chapter III

"So, how was your first day?" Alli smiled, sipping on her coffee.

It was a best friend tradition that everyday after school they would discuss their days adventures over coffee at The Dot.

Clare took a sip, and thought back. She didn't want to tell alli about the mystery boy yet. She knew Alli would freak out and Clare didn't even know his name yet!

"I-Uh.. Really found advanced English interesting." Clare said quietly.

Alli rolled her eyes a bit and smiled. "I met a guy. His name is Drew. He's SO sweet! Not to mention SUPER cute. And he's QB1 on the football team!" Alli kept blabbing about how amazing this Drew guy was.

But Clare zoned out, looking out the window. That's when she noticed a black vintage hearse parked on the side of the road.

A figure, a teenage boy rather, wearing A LOT of black sat on the roof. Legs crossed, head bowed, reading a comic book. Clare smiled faintly to herself.

Was that the mystery boy from English?

When her thoughts stopped, and she went back to looking at the boy, she noticed two other teenage boys walk out of a comic store across the street and over to the hearse.

The smaller boy with short light brown hair, wearing a pair of baggy jeans, a Grey sweatshirt with a vest, and a Grey and black checkered beanie, held a bag of comic books. The other, taller boy, with short brown hair, spiked up, was muscular and wore faded acid washed fitting jeans, a bright red v-neck and black converse. Typical boy..

The mystery boy looked up at them and said something before scooting over, allowing the other two to sit on the roof with him.

Alli noticed Clare watching the boys, and squealed.

"Clare! Look! Its' Drew!" Alli pointed to the boy in the red v-neck and smiled proudly.

"Come on! Lets go talk to him!" Alli giggled and grabbed Clare's arm.

Clare's eyes widened and she tried to resist, but Alli is surprisingly strong for her size.

Alli dragged her out the front door of the Dot, and over to the black hearse the boys were sitting on.

The only boy that looked up was Drew, to Clare's surprise. He smiled faintly at her and then his eyes fell on Alli. "Hey Alli!"

"Hey!" she exclaimed and moved closer to him, pushing Clare out of the way in the process.

Drew nudged the small boy wearing the beanie, and nodded towards Clare. The boy looked up and grinned. "Hi, I'm Adam."

"Hi.. I'm Clare." Clare said quietly and glanced at the mystery boy, still absorbed in his comic, completely oblivious to everything around him.

Adam seemed to notice Clare staring at him, because he reached over and cuffed the mystery boy. His head snapped up and he glared at the person who cuffed him. Adam nodded in Clares' direction until the mystery boy turned and looked at Clare.

Her breath once again was taken from her. She almost lost it when his dark green eyes stared into her sky blue orbs.

"H-Hi." Clare stuttered, lost in his amazing eyes. "Hey." he said smoothly. He must have noticed how nervous Clare was because his perfect lips formed into a smirk.

"I'm.. uh.. Clare." she tried to sound confident but it instead came out as a whisper.

The boys smirk turned into a full smile and he raised his eyebrow. "Eli." he responded, closing his comic to give her his full attention.

She noticed Adam rolls his eyes, and look back down at his comic.

Eli..

Eli.?

Where have i heard that name before?

It seems so familiar.

Oh my God look at those eyes!

They're so.. alluring. Sexy. Cute. Fitting.

What am i saying!

I don't even know this boy!

For all i know he could be some freak who wants to murder me!

Clare bit her lip, thinking nervously.

"Ahem?" Eli, cleared his throat trying to get Clare's attention.

"Y-Yes?" Clare looked up at him.

"Do. You. Want. To. Sit?" He patted the empty space beside him and she nodded slowly. He took her hand, which sent an explosion shivers up and down her spine, and helped her up beside him.

"What are you reading..?" Clare looked up at him. His green eyes were studying her carefully.

He was so hard to read..

"Uhm. Fight Club." he stated with grinned a toothy grin.

"By Chuck Palahniuk?" Clare exclaimed.

"Yes." He replied and handed it too her.

So he wasn't reading a comic.. hm..
