Hey guys, I know I'm kind of slow to update, but I've been busy. Hopefully my schedule will free up soon, now that my swim practices are in the morning.

Clare: Two weeks after school started, I still wasn't on good terms with anything at home. Adam and I talked a few times, not much though. Jake was still the sweet, kindhearted boyfriend. I still acted as if Lilly didn't exist. I also found out that she told everyone that her future step-sister was an eighth grader, and not me, which was good, and apparently Adam still hasn't made the connection, which was perfect. Then there was Eli, I tried to avoid contact with him at all costs. I didn't want Jake to see us, and think I was still on love with him, which I wasn't. My mother was neck deep in work and wedding planning, so she paid little attention to me. Every time she tried to get me involved in any of it though, I just walked away with out saying a word. Then she would sigh in anger and annoyance.

It was awkward in our household, especially at mealtime. My mom or John would try and start a conversation, and if a question was directed at me, I just looked at them for a moment, and then went back to looking at my plate, eating my food in silence. It really pissed my mom off. Soon, it became a little game for me to find new ways to annoy my mom. It may sound bitchy, but it was fun.

Lilly: I had been at Degrassi for two weeks so far. Clare was being awful to me. And I didn't blame her. I just completely invaded her life. I made a few friends so far. This guy named Adam, and his friend named Eli. They called themselves "The Misfits." It fit them. Eli was this dark, kind of mysterious guy. He used to drive a hearse. Yes, a hearse. It was totaled in an accident, though. Then there was Adam. He seemed pretty normal, but there was something different about him. I couldn't pin point it, though.

As far as sports went for me at Degrassi, I wasn't planning on trying out for the power squad here. As much as I loved it, I had to make a choice, cheer or swimming. I chose swimming. The team is pretty good. Swimming was officially my fall sport. I couldn't wait until winter though. Once Swimming was over, the Hockey season started. Hockey was my number one sport. I trained year round for the four-month season that lasted form December to March.

I sat in my Public Speaking class, with Adam and Eli one day. Adam was looking through an SAT prep book. His scrunched his eyebrows together.

"Eli?" he asked, his eyes still fixed on the book.

"Yeah?"

"Who did you have to tutor you in the SATs?" Adam asked, and then looked up.

"I didn't get a tutor. I didn't need one," Eli said, with a satisfied smirk on his face.

"Damn it, you suck," he said, then let out a heavy sigh.

"Why don't you just have Eli tutor you if he's so amazing?" I asked, jokingly.

"He's an awful tutor. We tried this last year when I needed help with Math," Adam explained.

"Oh… Well, if you need a tutor, I could help you," I offered.

"No offense, but are you sure you're qualified?" Eli questioned.

"College level math and English classes," I said.

"You need a master's degree in math to get this guy to understand it," Eli joked.

"I'm sure I could figure something out, plus, I've tutored people a lot dumber than Adam," I said. Adam nodded, with a look in his face that I couldn't read. After a moment he spoke again.

"You're hired," He said. I smiled.

I know it's short, and not very good, but bear with me. Anyways, I have some questions that I want you to answer:

1) Do you think Lilly should end up in anyone in the story? If so, who
2) What do you think will happen with Clare? And by that I mean: How do you think she will react to the stress in her life?
3) What else do you want to see?
4) What did/didn't you like in this and previous chapters? I'd love to know.

Anyways, thanks for reading.
