Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi! I own my story.

A/N: Wow, over thirty reviews for the first chapter! I'm so glad you guys liked this story as much as Masquerade! All your reviews clearly made my night and my morning :) I would just like to answer to a few, No, I haven't forgotten about Alli, she will be showing up, but this will be later on in the story. And I'm not quite sure how many chapters this story will have. I do know that it will be longer than Masquerade, possibly ten chapters plus.

Once again, thank you for the reviews! I greatly appreciate them! Oh and thanks to clareandeliforever, she recommended a song for me to listen, and she was clearly right about it. It goes really well with this story so, if you want to listen to it, here's the title Good to You, by Mariana's Trench, the band is fucking amazing! I love this band to death, and I'm trying to figure out how I've never come across this song -_-...

Unmasked

Summary: Sequel to Masquerade; You know what's awesome? Clare and I are together. You know what I find hilarious? Julia and KC's stupid jealousy. You know what sucks about that though? The drama that came along with mine and Clare's relationship.

Chapter 2 – Let Go

The bell rung, signaling students that first period is over. Clare walked to her locker and twisted the combination into the lock; she smiled when she felt a pair of arms around her waist. Clare turned around and looked up into the greenest eyes that always seemed to light up her day.

"How are you doing?" Clare asked. Eli shrugged his shoulders. He responded, "I've been better. I really don't want to be here right now." Clare rolled her eyes, and turned back around, grabbing her history book. She closed her locker and faced Eli. She leaned back against the lockers and he cupped her face. Clare leaned her head against his touch and Eli leaned down and kissed her lips. Clare smiled and he pulled back.

"Walk me to class?" Clare asked. Eli nodded and she interlaced their fingers together and Eli walked her to class. Clare frowned when she watched Julia walk into the history class. Eli kissed her lips and watched as Clare walked into the classroom. Clare walked across the classroom, sitting far away from Julia like she has been doing for the past two months. Clare placed her binder on her desk and smiled at the picture of her and Eli on the front cover of her clear binder. Clare flipped it open and started copying the notes that Mr. Purino started writing on the board.

Once she had finally caught up to him, she placed her pen down on her paper, and waited patiently for Mr. Purino to write more notes. Clare leaned her head on her hand and glanced towards the other side of the room. Her blue eyes clashed with brown eyes and Clare swallowed hard and she turned away. Julia glared at Clare and reached into her pocket, pulling her phone out.

She quickly sent someone a text and closed her phone, placing it on the corner of her desk.

Clare blinked a few times, when her phone started to buzz in her pocket. She pulled her phone out and read the text she received.

It's rude to stare Clare
Julia

Clare arched and eyebrow and her mouth open a little. She closed her phone and turned her body to the side, glaring at Julia, mocking her. Julia noticed this and Clare arched an eyebrow at her, testing her. Julia rolled her eyes and she averted her brown eyes to the front of the classroom. Clare turned her body to face the front and she picked up her pen and copied down the rest of the notes Mr. Purino had finished writing. The classroom was quiet, with some occasional fake coughs, sneezing, and the sound of gum being popped.

"Okay class, today we will be reviewing for the test tomorrow. Turn your books to chapter 13 and begin reading it. Then answer the review questions at the end of the chapter. I want your answers on my desk before the bell rings, whether you're done or not." Mr. Purino announced. Clare tried her hardest not to sigh obnoxiously as she flipped open her text book to the chapter.

Clare grabbed her phone and opened it when it started buzzy on her desk.

I miss you, can't wait to hang out today
Eli

Clare smiled and quickly text him back. With the occasional cute texts Eli sent Clare and the reading from her text book, the time flew by quicker than expected. Clare gathered her things and walked out the classroom quickly. She walked to her locker and found Eli standing there, talking to their newest friend Adam. Clare smiled at him and kissed his cheek once she reached him. Eli said, "Adam was just talking to me about his comic book collection, I think we're going to get along just fine." Clare smiled.

"That's good, now can you move. I have to get my science book." Eli moved to the other side of Clare, and she twisted the combination to the lock and pulled it off her locker. She opened it and quickly grabbed her book.

"Clare, you're going to Mr. Betenkamp's class?" Adam asked.

"Yeah."

"Oh good, that's my next class." Adam sighed in relief. Clare laughed and she said, "Well let's go ahead and go." Clare grasped Eli's hand and the three walked to their class. Eli kissed Clare on the lips, then her forehead and she smiled, turned around, and walked with Adam inside the classroom.

"Adam," Clare started as she sat down next to her science partner at the tables, "this is Wesley. Wesley this is our newest addition to Degrassi, Adam."

Wesley pushed his glasses to the bridge of his nose. "Nice to meet you Adam." He said. Adam smiled softly at him and he and Clare took a seat next to Wesley.

"Where did you transfer from?" Wesley asked Adam.

"Pennsylvania." Adam responded.

"Oh, that's cool." Wesley said. Adam nodded. Clare felt like she was in the way of the conversation so she moved back a little. Wesley said, "So Clare, how are you and Mr. Eli? Is everything going down the peaches and cream road?" Clare blushed and she nodded, bringing her thumb to her lips to bite her nail. Wesley laughed and before they could continue their conversation, Mr. Betenkamp had walked in.

Eli sat leaning his head against his hand, bored in class as always. He sighed, and reached into his pocket, pulling his phone out. He checked any missed texts, which he did have some, most of them from Julia and KC. Some saying, "we have to talk" while other said, "We should hang out again, I miss it, you and Clare." Eli smirked, and rolled his eyes. To think that his old friends would have the nerve to say they miss him and Clare, when they're the ones that clearly hurt them.

Coach Armstrong started to pass out study guides for the test coming up the day after tomorrow. Eli grabbed the pale yellow paper, and gazed through the problems.

"Pfft, easy as pie man." Eli muttered.

He picked up his pencil and started to do the problems. Eli sighed in frustration when his phone interrupted his "math" moment. Eli opened his phone.

Eli, I know you hate me, but we have to talk. I feel horrible for what I've done. I wish you can see how sorry I am.
Julia

Eli chewed on his bottom lip, and quickly responded to the text; Yeah, I see how sorry you are, sorry for trying. Julia just cut the shit; I don't give a shit about you anymore. After what you've done to me, there is no way in fucking hell that I would ever forgive you, so stop embarrassing yourself. Eli.

Eli closed his phone and continued to finish the problems. Soon enough he was done. Eli looked up at the clock, and realized he only had just a few minutes of class left, twenty. Eli leaned back in his chair and rolled his skull ring around his finger. He bit down the inside of his cheeks and tapped his foot on the floor. Twenty minutes was taking longer than he wanted, and frankly he was getting a little bit frustrated. Let's just say Eli was a little too excited that next period is the period where he and Clare have study hall together, and he's wanted to actually KISS her since this morning.

The clock ticked, Eli watched the hands move slowly. He swallowed hard and laid his head down on the desk. Before he knew it, the bell finally rung, and he gathered his things, and walked out of the classroom.

"Did you understand the assignment?" Eli heard Clare's voice as he waited for her to exit the classroom.

"Not really. I'll call you and ask for help tonight okay?" Adam asked as Clare nodded. He walked around her and headed down the hallway.

Clare glanced up at Eli and wrapped her arms around his waist. She asked cutely, "Did you miss me?" Eli narrowed his eyes at her and flashed a lopsided smirk.

"More than you know." He whispered.

Clare smiled and they interlaced their fingers and walked to the lockers, only to throw their unneeded books inside, seeing as they were going into the study hall. Clare took a seat next to Eli at one of the empty tables. He pulled her too him, wrapping his arms around her waist; her back faced his chest. Eli rested his head on her shoulder and whispered, "What do you want to do today?" Clare placed her hands over his and said, "We can… go watch a movie."

"Movie as in… a chick flick?" Eli joked.

"We don't have to watch a chick flick. I do watch other kinds of movies Elijah." Clare laughed. Eli laughed in return and said, "Yeah, but you always cover your eyes in horror films. I say we watch a comedy."

"Okay, what movie is out that's a comedy?"

"I don't even know."

"Okay, we can watch that vampire movie you've wanted to watch, uhh… Let Me In if you want." Clare turned around to face him and Eli smiled softly. He asked, "Are you sure?" Clare nodded and Eli leaned forward and kissed her lips.

Clare turned back around and she leaned back against Eli's chest, his arms moved around her waist and his head fell on her shoulder again. Eli grazed his lips against her neck and he smirked, feeling her shudder. Clare whispered, "Eli not here." Eli pouted and muttered an 'okay'. He tightened his hold around her, keeping her warm against his chest. Eli sighed heavily when his phone buzzed in his pocket. Clare moved away from him and turned around to face him.

She curiously watched Eli text someone, and she asked, "Who is it?"

"Julia."

"…why are you texting her?" Clare asked, trying not to sound like a jealous prude. Eli glanced up and her and said, "I'm trying to get her to stop texting me." Clare blinked a few times and said, "Well… just block her number." She smirked and Eli blinked a few times, wondering why he didn't think of that before. He mentally slapped himself. Clare took Eli's phone from his hands and placed it on the table. She grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him to her.

Clare kissed his lips and Eli grabbed her waist, and pulled her closer to him, almost positioning her in his lap. Eli licked her bottom lip, before he sucked greedily on it, demanding entry into her mouth. Clare parted her lips, and whimpered when Eli thrust his tongue into her mouth. The kiss was long, and almost frantic, because Eli was just too anxious.

He grabbed the back of her head and crushed their lips harder against each other's, causing Clare to moan in her throat.

"Eli, we have to stop." Clare said between the kiss. Eli pulled away and breathed heavily. He kissed her chastely, just once, and pulled away from her. Clare interlaced their fingers together, and they started a conversation, mostly about what Clare should wear tonight. Eli suggested she wear one of her floral dresses, the one that he loved so much, along with her sea foam green cardigan. Clare knew all too well what Eli was going to wear, so she didn't bother in suggesting something for him.

Their conversation was cut short the second the bell rung. Eli frowned and got up, gathering his things, as well as Clare. They walked to their lockers, and Clare frowned, finding KC standing at her locker, leaning against it. She grabbed Eli's hand and felt him clench hers, Clare whispered, "Eli no fights." Eli nodded and once they reached the lockers, Clare asked, "What do you want KC."

"I was going to ask how you were, seeing as you don't want to talk to me—

"Exactly KC, I don't want to talk to you… so save yourself some time, and just leave me alone." Clare interrupted him. She literally pushed him away from her locker, and Eli stood next to her, glaring at KC, trying to get him to leave, unfortunately he didn't budge. Clare grabbed her books and shut her locker, then Eli did the same, shoving KC away from his locker. KC stumbled back and growled. He turned tail and walked to his locker.

Julia stood, waiting for him.

"Why do you look like you're about to beat the ever living shit out of someone?" She asked. Julia moved away from KC's locker, and watched him throw his books inside. She held his hand and he looked down at her. Julia smiled softly, and he muttered, "I'm fine. I just… let's just go to lunch." Julia nodded and she walked with KC to the picnic table they normally sit at. KC and Julia sat in silence. She reached up and brushed his bangs from his face and said, "We should hang out today."

KC chewed on the inside of his bottom and shrugged his shoulders. "Okay, what do you want to do?" Julia thought about it and said, "Well that movie I've wanted to see is still playing."

"Which one?" KC asked.

"Let Me In."

KC frowned, he wasn't very fond of vampire movies, but if Julia wanted to see it, he would see it as well.

"Okay. I'll pick you up around five-ish?" KC asked. Julia nodded and she squealed in excitement as she wrapped her arms tight around his neck. KC wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled softly.
