Situations Chapter 13
I realized that I haven't been doing this: I do not own Degrassi. But you all knew that.
Thanks for the reviews! I loved them, they're always amazing. :) Thank you for everyone who is saying that they like the way I write; it makes me smile! :)
Beccadegrassi: I LOVE your review! It made me laugh at how excited you got and how much you were rambling! But that's okay, I love those reviews! Haha
ilovetaylorswift13: I just had to say that I love your reviews! You review every single chapter and I had to say that I love you for that! :) I love your reviews; they make my day! :)
LilithSky: Thank you for reminding me about quoting the song. I can't believe I forgot! And, sorry to disappoint, but they won't be public yet. -.- You'll see what's happening in this chapter.
So, I realized that I stoped quoting the song. *sigh* I can't believe I forgot to keep doing that! Well, I guess I'll just start again.
Summary: Eli and Clare are far from friends; they hate each other. But when hormones are added to that, could the anger and frustration towards each other become pleasure? Will it stay casual or will it lead to something more?

"Leave me. Go where you belong. Higher heels and lipstick napkins, dying is you're latest fashion."
Clare's POV
"Why are you always writing in that?" Eli asked me from the driver's side of Morty.
We were currently on our way back, clothes and hair still wet, and I was writing in my notebook. I didn't exactly know why I started writing in it; I guess I just felt like I needed to write down how I felt. That would probably explain all the sweet quotes.
"Because paper has more patience that people." I said, turning to look at him.
He turned to look at me, a smirk plastered on his face. "Touché."
I smiled and pointed in front of us, "Eyes on the road."
He complied and turned, keeping his eyes on the road. I giggled at his hair; it was sticking up in random places from the rain. I chewed on my bottom lip and lifted my hand, running my fingers through his hair. Instead of pulling his head away, he leaned back into my touch and smiled softly. I ran my fingers through his hair, trying to make it look nicer. My finger got caught in a knot and he hissed.
"Ow, no need to get aggressive." He said, moving his head away from my reach.
"Sorry," I mumbled.
He chuckled, "It's fine."
My breathing hitched as he rested his hand on mine, rubbing his thumb against the back of it. He must have noticed my tenseness because he began to remove his hand, but I quickly turned my hand and grabbed his. I watched as he glanced at our hands and then at me before turning and looking at the road. I glanced down at our hands once I felt him intertwine our fingers, making a small smile appear on my lips.
For the rest of the ride we just talked about everything and anything, making random jokes and laughing. To be honest, it was the most fun I've had in a while, even if it only lasted 10 minutes.
We pulled up into the parking lot in front of Eli's dorm and sat there staring out the windshield, our hands still intertwined.
"This might sound weird," Eli began speaking, "But I feel like we're going into another world."
Without even looking at him, I replied, "I know how you feel."
I turned to look at him when I felt him turn to face me, his hand never leaving mine. He opened his mouth, and then closed it, like he was debating on what to say.
Before he could say anything, he leaned forward and crashed his lips to mine. I smiled softly in the kiss before closing my eyes and moving my lips with his. My free hand reached up and cupped his cheek as our lips moved fluidly. His tongue slid across my bottom lip and I opened my mouth, letting his tongue slid between my lips. He massaged my tongue with his as his free hand reached up, running his fingers through my hair.
I couldn't help but think that this was another side of Eli that I have ever seen before. But I had to admit, I like this Eli. I've noticed that whenever we are alone, he's always nicer to me, even when we hated each other. Like in detention a while back; he said I had pretty eyes. Why was he like this?
I pulled away, gasping for air as his forehead rested against mine.
Eli cleared his throat and backed away a little. "Sorry," he mumbled.
"Don't be," I breathed.
He sighed and removed his hand from mine, much to my dismay. I watched as he rested his hands on the steering wheel and looked outside.
"I like you, Clare." I felt my heart skip a beat as he said this. "But, we have two completely different lives. Everything would just get in the way."
"I understand." I answered, making him look at me.
"You do?" he questioned, looking shocked.
I nodded, "Yeah, I mean, everyone thinks we hate each other, and if we started... dating, then they wouldn't leave us alone. Things would get crazy." I answered. No matter how much I hated to say it, it was the truth.
He turned to me and smirked, "Are you saying you'd date me?"
My eyes widened as I realized what I had said. I looked away from him and started playing with my hair.
"I d-didn't say th-that." I stuttered.
"But you implied it." He smirked wider.
I opened and closed my mouth multiple times before laughing nervously. I stopped laughing and looked out the window.
"Dammit," I muttered, realizing there was no use in fighting him about this.
I heard him chuckle and I turned to look at him through my bangs. He kept smirking at me and I couldn't help but think he looked so cute.
"So, what happens now?" he asked.
To be honest, I didn't know the answer. I wanted to be with Eli, I did, but I knew that if we did start dating, there would be a lot of shit involved and getting in the way. Even when we weren't official there were still obstacles.
I sighed, "I don't know. But I really have to go, Alli will be back soon." I said glancing at the time on my phone, realizing it was getting close to 5. Time sure does fly.
"Yeah, I was supposed to hang out with Owen and them." He sighed.
"Why do you hang out with them anyways?" I asked, not thinking about what words were coming out of my mouth.
He shrugged, not answering my question.
"Well, you ready?" he asked.
I pinned my eyebrows together in confusion, "Ready for what?"
"The 'real' world," he answered, putting air quotes around real.
I sighed, "No, but what other choice do I have?"
He sighed and nodded. I turned to open the door to the hearse but I stopped as my hand rested on the handle. I knew that once I opened this door, everything would go back to 'normal'. I didn't want normal. I wanted to stay in the hearse with Eli, feeling like I could do anything in the world.
"What's wrong?" I heard Eli ask, breaking me from my thoughts.
"What? Uh, nothing." I answered, opening the door and stepping out.
Eli followed and stepped out also; both of us moving in front of Morty. We faced each other as we stood a few feet away from each other. I gave a slight wave and he gave a nod before we parted.
I sighed as I walked to my dorm, away from Eli.
Eli's POV
"Yo, Eli! Over here!" Owen yelled as I walked into the Dot.
After I took a shower at my dorm, I received a text from Owen, asking me where I was and to meet them at the Dot.
The whole walk to the Dot I couldn't stop thinking about Clare. I can't believe I actually told her how I felt. I can't believe the conversation we had. I just can't believe this day.
Why couldn't this be easier? Why did we have to be from separate worlds? Why do I have to have feelings for someone I should never have feelings for? Why is life so complicated? Just… Why?
"What's up?" I asked the guys as I sat at the table they were at. They all eyed me with accusing looks, causing me to shift in my seat uncomfortably. "What?" I asked.
"Where were you?"
"Who is she?"
"Is she hot?"
"Is she good in bed?"
"I can't believe you're getting laid."
The first comment was from Riley, then Zane, then Owen then Drew. That last comment was from KC. I was about to tell him that I wasn't, but the look on his face when I smirked, was just priceless. He was pissed. Ever since he got this Jenna chick pregnant, he hasn't gotten laid. And we all have to suffer through it since he's mopping around all the time.
"Well? Come on man, spill." Riley pushed.
"It's nothing guys, she's no one." I lied. She was the opposite of nothing. But I can't have them know who she is. Everything would get fucked up, and I can't have that.
"Whatever dude, I'm hungry." Owen said, rubbing his stomach.
"Me too," Drew said.
"Me three," KC said as they all got up and walked over to the counter.
Zane and Riley turned to me, goofy grins plastered on their faces.
"Yeah, like I'm going to believe that." Zane said, not dropping the subject. "I can see it in your eyes dude…" he paused, looking at me intensely. I lifted my hand and started nibbling at my black covered thumb nail, trying not to look nervous, but that didn't work out too well. "You really like this girl."
My head snapped towards them and I shook my head before clearing my throat. "No, I-I don't." Dammit! Could it be any more obvious?
Zane and Riley began chuckling.
"Man, you got it bad." Zane chuckled even more.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I said plainly, shrugging in the process.
"Don't worry, we won't say anything to them," Riley nudged his head to KC, Owen and Drew. "We know how they can be. But you at least have to tell us who she is."
I sighed and leaned forward, resting my forearms on the table as I interlaced my fingers together.
"Guys, nothing has even happened yet, so I don't really know what's going on. And until I do know, I can't tell you." It was true, I had no idea where this left Clare and I. I wanted to be able to tell them, I know I can trust them, but I don't want to get my hopes up over nothing.
They nodded and sat back in their chairs, just as Owen, KC, and Drew came back.
Zane, Riley and I sat there, saying nothing. Zane was whistling, Riley was fixing his hair and I sat there, tapping my fingers on the table.
"What'd we miss?" Drew asked with a mouthful of fries.
"Nothing," Riley shrugged.
Soon everyone was in their own little chatter and everyone forgot about her.
I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket; I reached into my pocket and pulled in out, sliding the screen up. I recognized the number and I had to refrain myself from smirking.
I forgot to tell you… I like you, too.
I smirked a little at this. I started writing my response, deciding on having a little fun.
I kind of figured that when you jumped me on the roof :P
"Is that her?" I heard KC ask through clenched teeth.
I smirked, "Actually, yes." I love getting him pissed off.
"So much for a no one." KC mumbled, making me smirk more at his jealousy.
I looked down at my phone when it vibrated in my hand.
Well, you practically jumped me in your car :P
I smirked, remembering that just a few hours ago I was kissing her. I just wish I could kiss her when I want and not just when no one is around. I quickly wrote my response.
Don't pretend you didn't like it ;)
I glanced up at the door when the bell rang, signaling someone had entered the Dot. I scoffed when I saw Tyler and some red haired chick by his side. Seriously dude, make up your mind. First Clare, then Imogen, then some other chick and now her? Who does this guy think he is?
"Yo Tyler, over here!" KC yelled, causing me to choke on my own spit.
"Since when do you guys know him?" I asked.
"A few days ago we ran into him; he's not a bad guy." Owen explained, causing me to scoff.
"I don't like him." Drew said, shrugging in the process. Finally, someone who's not completely insane!
"Hey Drew, let's go for a walk." I nudged my head towards outside as Tyler and the girl got closer.
Drew nodded and we both got up to leave. Tyler and I locked eyes and I glared at him.
"How's Clare?" Tyler asked in a mocking tone, causing me to stop in my tracks and turn to face him, only to see him smirking also.
I smirked, "A lot better since you're out of her life."
He scoffed and sat down with the girl at the table I was previously at. I rolled my eyes and walked outside, with Drew trailing behind. My fists were clenched, my phone still in my hand, as I thought about Tyler. He's such a man whore.
"What was that about?" Drew asked, breaking me from my thoughts.
"What was what about?" I asked, trying to calm down.
"How would you know how Clare is doing?" he asked.
Shit. Oh no, this is not good. I have to come up with something fast.
"Uh, Adam was with her at Above the Dot when she found out Tyler was cheating on her. He asked me to take her home since I was already leaving. She drank a little and started telling me about it." Yeah, sure, that will work.
"Oh…" Drew said, believing my answer. Drew is one of my best friends, but I am glad he's not the smart type.
I felt my phone vibrate and I realized I was still texting Clare. I looked down and slid the screen up, reading her text. I smirked and let out a little chuckle as I read her text.
I didn't say I didn't like it.
"Who is she?" I heard Drew ask as I wrote my response.
Well, maybe it should become a regular thing?
"Who's who?" I asked, looking at Drew as we walked to our dorm.
"Eli, I may not be a genius but I'm not stupid. I can tell you're texting a girl by the stupid look on your face." Drew said.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about." I said for the umpteenth time.
"Whatever, just don't get too involved. Relationships are just not your thing." My jaw clenched as he said this. Memories of Julia came flooding back; I blinked and shook my head, trying to shake the images away. Drew must have noticed because he sighed and replied, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"It's fine." I interrupted. "Look, I'll see you later, I have to do something."
I didn't even wait for his response before I walked away. I didn't even know where I was walking, but all I knew is that I needed to go for a walk. I needed to get away, even if it was only for an hour. I looked at my phone when it vibrated, and the text I just read, was just an invitation.
Sounds like a plan.
I quickly wrote my response and put my phone in my pocket.
I'll see you tonight.
Things might turn steamy again ;)
I have a lot planned out for the next few chapters!
I hope you guys don't hate me for not putting them together right away. But it will come eventually. :)
Review's please!
How about you get me to 150-155?
Thanks!
Xoxo :)
