Clare's POV

Sept. 7, 2010. Today's the second day of school, diary. Yesterday was quite an eventful day, I must say. Rumors, seeing everyone, oh Degrassi has truly not changed since grade 9. All except that my only boyfriend was stolen from me. But it doesn't matter. I'm over him and this year, I will show KC what he lost. But today at school, something strange stirred up my insides. Alli and I were arguing over my glasses to see if I were to just keep them on or not when it happened. The glasses fell on the pavement and a hearse ran over them. A hearse? Hah, I know right. But that's not the best part yet. A boy came out of the car and he had the most dazzling green orbs I have ever seen. I felt like I was hypnotized by them. I felt my knees turn into jelly, my stomach stirred around, hell, I think I even stuttered when we talked. He said I had pretty eyes! I honestly thought I was going to faint. But then I just bid him off. If I didn't, I think I would have fainted right there and then. When he left, Alli and I couldn't help but squeal. God, I hope he didn't notice that. It was a boring day from there. But I will not forget the day I met Elijah Goldworthy.

NO POV

It's nighttime and Julia had just finished her back to school homework, when she heard a tap on her window. She separated her curtains to see her boyfriend hanging off a tree branch with a dozen of blue tulips in his other hand, throwing rocks in her direction. She opened her window to let him in and gave him a subtle peck on his lips when he landed in her room. "Missed me?" she said, with a knowing tone in her voice. "Every day of every second, Jules." He replied, but with a weird intonation unlike times before. She noticed this change and asked him, "Something bothering you Elijah? Oh god, did you get into another fight at school?" He shook his head and started pacing around the room.

Julia gave out a sigh of relief, but she was still going to try and get to the bottom of Eli's new behavior.

"Eli, if you didn't fight, then what's wrong?"

He looked up and gave her a sad stare. He replied, "It's just that…..I miss you Jules. In my new school, everything is so different. I have nobody to talk to. I feel lonely. I know it's unlike me to be like that but I guess I just got used to having you and Tyler around that it's hard to adjust." Tyler was Julia and Eli's other best friend. He went to kindergarten with Eli so the two were considered as brothers.

Julia gave Eli a knowing smile and kissed him again. "Love, you know I miss you too. But change always has to happen. Don't worry, Tyler and I will be fine, and you will be too. You just have to wait and make an effort to have friends. Trust me, this year will be fine." Eli smiled back and replied "You always know what to say. I have to go now though. Tomorrow will be a new day and we both have school. Night, I love you." Eli left through the window once again and left Julia in her room, smelling the blue tulips.

Eli's POV

As soon as I left Julia's house, I felt a lump in my throat and my chest felt heavy. I was thinking about Clare Edwards more and more every second. I know that I haven't even gotten to know her yet but I just don't know. I get these weird antics when I think about or see her. Today, after I met her, I realized that we had English class together at the end of the day. When I saw her walk into the classroom, my stomach flipped. She noticed me and blushed. That made it flip even more. I went over to Julia's to fix over my feelings and see if there has been any difference. When I saw Julia, I suddenly didn't feel much. I didn't smile as much, my stomach never felt any different and when we kissed, it just felt like a wall. I had no emotion. Did I really fall out of love? No. I still had feelings for Julia, that's for sure. What I'm not so sure of is if I didn't have any for Clare Edwards. Oh boy, this year will kill me.

So there is chapter 3! I'm not sure how I did with this one because I wasn't sure what to put here without giving out a secret for next chapter, haha :D Next chapter should be up around Tuesday or Wednesday, considering I have school. If you are lucky, maybe tomorrow (: Thank you!
