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 11 – Lovers in Japan

"Hurry up Clare!" Eli shouted from the foot of the stairs, growing quite impatient. Adam laughed a little and Eli turned to him saying, "You can't be laughing, you took just as long as she did." Adam pressed his lips to a line, trying to hide his grin.

"Clare does tend to take forever when she's getting ready." KC joined in after walking out of the kitchen, holding a coke in his hand. He took a seat next to Adam and Eli got up, and headed upstairs to Clare's room. He grabbed the doorknob, and twisted it, only to realize that it's locked. He knocked on the door and said, "Clare are you ready?"

'Almost!" She responded.

Eli leaned against the door, sighing heavily. Clare pulled her favorite jeans on and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled, fixing her lacy white tank top. Clare reached over and she grabbed a baby blue mid sleeve jacket, pulled it on, and checked herself in the mirror once more before she opened the door. Eli ended up falling on her. Clare squeaked, "ELI!"

"What?" He asked, looking up at her. Clare softly pushed him up to his feet and Eli turned around, taking a better look at her. He smiled and whispered, "You look cute." Clare blushed and muttered "thanks". She and Eli walked downstairs and Adam got up as well as KC. Adam stated, "Are you guys done? Can we go now?"

Clare laughed and she said, "Yeah. I'm done, let's go." Clare had invited Adam and KC to hang out at the Mall after school. It's a Friday afternoon, and they really, really needed some time to just relax. Eli opened the door for Clare, and she and Adam climbed in. KC asked, "Where am I supposed to sit?" Before Eli climbed into the driver's seat he said over the hood, "In the back." KC frowned and he walked around the back, and opened the door. He climbed inside, and sighed mentally, crawling towards the front.

He opened the small panel and poked his head through, letting it rest slightly on Clare's shoulder. She blushed. Eli noticed this and cleared his throat a little bit. KC moved his head back and blushed lightly. Adam laughed. He said, "Thanks again for letting me hang out with you guys." Clare smiled and responded, "Why wouldn't we let you? You're our new friend, and you deserve some time to hang out." Adam smiled.

"Speaking of time to hang out, KC," Clare turned around as Eli drove away from her house, "what's going on between you and Julia?" KC frowned and shrugged. He said, "She'll text me every once in a while, but I mean… I went to the Dot after school yesterday, and saw her with that Fitz guy. I overheard them, and Fitz said something about transferring to Degrassi."

Eli slammed his foot on the breaks, causing a few cars to honk and swerve around him. He turned around and said, "Excuse me?" KC blinked a few times and said, "Yeah. He's transferring on Monday." Eli muttered something incoherent under his breath and soon calmed down. He pressed his foot on the gas, and continued driving towards the mall.

An awkward silence befell the four, until Adam's phone went off, playing a song by Taylor Swift. Eli burst into laughter and said, "Taylor Swift? Adam are you serious?" Adam responded, "I am serious? I'm surprised you know her Eli." He stopped laughing and cleared his throat nervously.

Clare said, "Yeah Eli."

Eli quickly turned the radio on and blasted heavy metal songs through the speakers. KC looked down at his phone, receiving a text from someone, Julia.

Hey, what's up? I haven't talk to you in a while.
Julia

'Gee, I wonder why?' KC thought.

He responded to her text, and closed his phone; I'm busy, don't text me okay?

He closed his phone and glanced up, watching Clare lay her head on Eli's shoulder. KC sighed softly and twiddled his fingers together.

.

.

"Okay so what are we going to do since we're here now?" Adam asked. Clare tucked her straightened hair behind her ear as Eli wrapped his arm around her shoulders. KC climbed out of the back and suggested, "We can go to the arcade." Nobody protested, and they all walked towards the front and headed to the arcade room.

"Oh Eli, that bear is so cute!" Clare chirped, pointing at a medium sized panda bear hanging up on the wall. Eli blinked a few times and said, "Okay."

Clare pouted and Eli sighed saying, "I'll get it for you if you want." Clare squealed and she wrapped her arms around his neck and then dragged him off towards the back after he got some tokens from the machine, leaving Adam and KC standing by their selves. Adam said, "Want to race?" KC shrugged his shoulders and nodded. Adam walked to the token machine, and slipped a few dollar bills and received a large amount of tokens.

Adam grabbed them and handed half to KC.

"Let's go." KC walked towards the back, and Adam followed.

.

.

"Eli! Eli go to the left! No the left!" Clare squeaked.

"Clare, babe, I'm sorry to say this, but shut up! I can't concentrate." Eli responded, his eyes never leaving the screen. Clare frowned and she stood next to Eli, watching him shoot a bunch of ninja's clad in black. He cursed under his breath and soon ended up beating the game, receiving a large amount of tickets. As he reached down to grab them, Clare had snatched them all, and started to count them.

"32, 33, 34, 35… 36. You have 36, you need," She glanced back, "Forty four more." Eli nodded and said, "Well… let's race."

"KC and Adam are playing that." Clare stated. Eli shrugged and responded, "We can wait." Clare nodded and Eli wrapped his arm around Clare's shoulders and she did the same to his waist.

"KC! Quit cheating!" Adam shouted.

"I'm not cheating, you're just mad you're losing." KC laughed in response. Adam muttered something under his breath and slammed his foot on the gas, and he raced passed KC and laughed heavily. KC growled and Clare cheered, "Go Adam!" Adam smiled a little and just as he was about to reach the finish line, KC drove past him and beat him.

"What the—no fair!" Adam turned to him and KC just smirked and grabbed his tickets, counting them. He only got twenty, while Adam received ten.

"Okay you two, watch the master work." Clare smiled as she took the seat that KC had previously been sitting in. Eli did the same with Adam's chair. Clare grabbed two tokens from Eli's palm, and slipped them into the token slot. She quickly chose the car she wanted, and Eli did the same. KC and Adam stood behind them, and watched them.

Clare waited patiently for the game to start and said, "You're so going to lose Eli."

"Am not, Clare I beat you on these games every time we play at my house." Eli responded.

"I'm going to get something to drink." Adam turned around, refusing to listen to the playful lover's quarrel

"I'll join you." KC said.

The two walked away from the arcade, both smiling, listening to Clare scream, "Eli you're cheating!"

.

.

"Sooo." Adam stated, trying to start a conversation with KC. The taller one looked down and asked, "What?" Adam shrugged his shoulders.

"Just trying to keep the conversation going." Adam stated.

"Oh, ha ha, sorry." KC stated.

Adam laughed a little. He and KC quickly ordered a small coke and walked to sit down in the food court. They stared at each other and Adam said, "So, what's up?" KC shrugged his shoulders responding, "Same I guess, getting stalked and stuff." Adam couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not funny." KC muttered.

"It's a little funny." Adam responded as he took a sip of his soda. KC did the same and groaned, fishing his phone out of his pocket when it started ringing. Adam blinked a few times, and watched KC talk to the person on the other line, his mouth blindly looking for the straw so he could take a sip of his drink again.

"Julia, I'm hanging out with friends, can this wait?" KC asked, annoyed.

"I know, I can see you." Julia responded.

KC pinned his eyebrows together, and looked around the food court. He pinned his eyebrows together, when Julia waved at him, trying to get his attention. Adam looked back and said, "Are you going to talk to her?" KC glanced over at Adam while he closed his phone. He said, "No I'm not going to talk to her. Let's go back." Adam nodded and got up. KC glanced over at Julia and she frowned.

As the two walked back, Adam laughed a little, watching Eli and Clare, who held a large panda bear close to her chest. The four stood in the middle of the mall. KC said, "Can we like… get out of here?" Clare frowned, blinking a few times. She asked, "Why? What's wrong?"

"Julia is here."

"Stalker." Eli muttered.

Clare playfully hit his arm and he smirked in response. Adam suggested, "Well… we can go to my house and watch some movies?" Clare nodded. She stated, "That sounds great." The four began walking towards the exit of the mall, and all in unison, they stopped, hearing someone call out to KC. He turned around and Julia was now standing before him, breathing heavily.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"KC please, I have to talk to you." She stated, tucking her hair behind her ear. Clare grabbed Eli and Adam's sleeve, and dragged them off, leaving KC to talk to Julia. Eli said, "Hey, I want to listen to this." Clare rolled her eyes and she continued to drag them off. KC looked over his shoulder, watching his ex-girlfriend drag her boyfriend and friend away, leaving him and Julia alone.

"Okay what do you want?" He asked.

"I just… wanted to see how you were. I miss you." She muttered.

KC resisted the urge to laugh sarcastically. He said, "I bet you weren't thinking about that when you were fucking Fitz weren't you?" Julia swallowed hard and she whispered, "I told you I was sorry." KC snorted and he turned around saying, "I don't need to listen to this." Julia chased after him, and said as she walked beside him, "KC please it wasn't my fault. I promise you that." KC ignored her, and continued walking.

"KC!" Julia screamed as she stood in front of him. He glanced down at her angry face. She said, "Now you listen okay? I have apologized night and day for the past three days! I didn't want to have sex with Fitz, he forced me! Why can't you believe me, I'm sorry okay! And I meant it, won't you take me back?" KC looked down at the hurt look in her brown eyes. He sighed heavily.

KC raked his fingers through his hair and stated, "Look I know you're sorry, but I don't want to be with you. We're done Julia, okay?" KC walked around her and headed towards the entrance, where he looked through the glass doors, sighing a little when he realized that Clare, Eli, and Adam were standing and talking, waiting patiently for him. Julia trailed behind KC, and once again stood in front of him.

"Julia will you quit it?" KC shouted.

"NO! Not until I know you've forgiven me." Julia said. KC rolled his eyes. He said, "I forgive you." KC walked around her and pushed the doors open, and walked up to his friends.

"Ready?" Eli asked.

KC nodded.

"Julia is walking this way, are you sure you're done talking to her?" Clare stated. KC glanced over his shoulder. He said, "I'm done with her… let's get out of here." They all walked to the hearse and Julia started screaming, "KC! You have to mean it!"

He growled, clearly getting annoyed.

"Look Julia, I don't fucking care! Get over it! I don't want anything to do with you!" KC shouted. Julia frowned and she swallowed hard. Tears had begun to weld in her eyes and they slowly streamed down her cheeks. KC turned around and he made his way to the car. Julia sighed shakily, and she turned tail, and stormed back towards the mall. Clearly, she wasn't paying attention, and Julia nearly jumped ten feet into the air, when a car honked.

She held her chest and sighed heavily, walking around the car and just as she did this, loud screeching breaks sounded.

.

.

"Did you guys here that?" Adam asked. Clare nodded. She said, "It came from that direction." Eli pulled out of the parking lot and drove away, not really caring. KC looked over Clare's shoulder through the panel window and said, "Eli there's something going on over there." He pointed and Eli glanced over in that direction.

"You guys have some morbid curiosity. Maybe someone ran over a dog or something." Eli said, but he parked the car in the middle of the lane and stepped out. Clare and Adam watched as Eli looked over the crow of people, and KC stated, "He looks freaked out." Clare nodded in agreement.

"I'll go check on him." Adam said. He climbed out of the car and Clare and KC watched as he placed a hand on Eli's shoulder. He looked over the crowd as well, and stepped back a little. Clare licked her bottom lip and said softly, "I wonder what happened." She watched Eli walk back, a blank look on his face. Adam had his hand on Eli's shoulder saying something which Clare couldn't quite get. As Eli climbed in Clare asked, "What's wrong?"

He looked over at her and shook his head, clenching the steering wheel.

"Eli?" Clare asked, placing her hand on his thigh.

He ignored her, only started to drive away from the mall. Clare sighed and turned to Adam asking, "What happened?" Adam swallowed hard and said, "Um—

"Don't say it." Eli almost shouted.

"Why? Eli what happened? What's going on?" KC asked. Clare glanced towards him and Eli sighed shakily. Adam frowned and looked out the window, leaving a very curious Clare and KC glancing at Eli, waiting for him to respond.

"Well?" KC asked.

"God dammit, Julia got hit by a fucking car, end of story! Are you happy?"
