I just want to say thank you so much for all the alerts and reviews! I couldn't believe how many alerts I got. It shocked me! But thank you all so much and I hope you enjoy this chapter! Please review!

Clare's POV

A week. It's been a full week since Eli and Sarah started dating. It's horrible. Unfortunately Eli and I have all the same classes. Including Sarah. Which means every day I come to school, I have to see them together. I try my best to ignore them, but it's a lot harder than one would think. I can always see them out of the corner of my eye in class, making little faces at eachother, texting, or Eli giving her his special smirk, that should only be for me. It hurts. Watching them together makes me sick to my stomach, and I hate this feeling. Liking someone so much and knowing that you can never be with them, and that they don't even know that you like them. But what's the point of telling them anyway, when you already know they aren't going to like you back. You'll always just be in the friends zone, and there's no getting out. The worst part is, is that whatever class project we have now, for any class, I'm no longer Eli's parter like I used to be. Nope, Sarah officialy took that place. She couldn't even leave me with one thing. She had to take the guy I'm madly in love with, and she also had to take him away from me as my project partner too. But I guess she didn't take my best friend. Although, it's getting much harder to remain his friend, when all I do when I see him is hurt. I think about him with her, and how happy he seems to be when they're together. It's heartbreaking and there's nothing I can do about it. I can tell you one thing though, I'm not going to sit around forever and watch him be happy with somebody else. If he's happy with her, then that's great, I'm happy for him, but I need to be happy too, and sticking around here isn't going to help me. I need to get out and move on. That's why I've decided to change schools. I'm not going to tell Eli. In fact, I think it would be better if I didn't keep in contact with him at all. He'll always be my best friend, but some things have changed, and I can't fix them.

Eli's POV

"Hey man" I said to Adam as I walked into English class and took my seat next to him.

"Oh, hey bro whats up?" He asked, looking up from the comic book he had been reading.

"Do you know what's wrong with Clare? She hasn't really been herself lately. She wont look at me in class, she never comes to my locker any more like she used to, she never texts or calls me, I don't get it. And she always looks sad if I'm at her house trying to hang out with her. This isn't the Clare I know at all. I miss her"

"I tried to warn you man. I told you that Clare likes you. She isn't going to want to watch you be with Sarah all of the time. It'll hurt her."

"Dude you're wrong, I already told you that there is no way that Clare likes me. We're just friends. She's probably just sick, or worried about something. Today's Friday, I bet you come Monday she'll be back to normal. I'm probably worrying for nothing."

"Whatever man, just be careful, don't say I didn't warn you"

Just then Clare walked into the room, head down, and looking sad. I figured I would say hi to her, I haven't really talked to her in a while and I miss her.

"Hey Clare" I said to her while smirking. She turned her head to me before sitting down, and I saw a small flash of hope or happiness, or whatever it was in her eyes, and as quickly as I saw it, it was gone. Her facial expressions faded, turning into a somewhat frown, and her blue orbs dulled. It pained me to see her that way, and whatever is wrong with her, I'm hoping will be fixed soon, because I hate the terms we're on right now.

"Oh, hey Eli" She replied back softly. The enthusiasm she usually had whenever she saw me was completely gone. I'm just hoping that she'll be better by Monday. I want my friend back.

~MONDAY~

Eli's POV

"Adam, have you seen Clare? She hasn't been in any of our classes today. Is she still sick?" I asked while we were sitting in the cafeteria eating lunch.

"Uh, yes, I've seen her, but not since yesterday, and no she's not sick. She hasn't been sick."

"Oh, well where is she? why isn't she in school?"

"Uh..."

"Adam, what aren't you telling me?" I asked started to get slightly annoyed, and not to mention worried about Clare. What could have happened to her?

"She moved to a different school Eli." He sighed, letting out the breath of air he had been holding in.

"WHAT! What do you mean she moved to a different school? You've got to be joking right?" I asked in disbelief. I couldn't believe that she would just up and leave to another school, without even so much as tell me she was doing so.

"I mean she moved to a different school. As in the one a couple of blocks away from here. She left because of you. I tried to tell you she liked you Eli, but you didn't believe me. And now she left, because it hurt her to much to have to see you with Sarah everyday"

"What? How do you know this?"

"Because I talk to her Eli, I was at her house all weekend trying to comfort her, and get her ready for her new school. I told her that I would miss having her here at Degrassi but I knew it wasn't fair to ask her to stay when she was hurting. And you would have known this too, if you actually took time away from Sarah to be Clare's best friend like you used to be. Maybe she would have even told you how she was feeling"

"I can't believe this. I can't believe that she actually likes me. Oh man, I screwed up big time. I can't believe she just moved to a different school without telling me! That hurts dude. Clare is always supposed to be my best friend, I have to get her back. I can't believe I'm telling you this, but...I'm in love with her. I have been since the moment we met. I just never told her, or you. I figured she would never like me back so I tried to push the feelings aside, I figured we would always be just friends. I went out with Sarah because I thought I would never be with Clare. I have to get her back dude, I can't live without Clare in my life."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I dont know yet"

"Well why don't you call her? Beg her to come back to Degrassi, and tell her how you feel"

"You're right, I should call her. Try to get her to come back, even if I don't tell her about my feelings right away, I need her back in my life some way dude"

"Here, you can use my phone. She'll think I'm calling and she'll pick up. She might not pick up if she knows it's you, she's sort of trying to block you from her memory, and end ties" Adam said while handing me his cell phone across the table"

"Thanks I owe you, and I'm sorry for not believing you, that was really stupid of me"

"Dont mention it"

I began to dial Clare's number, as I walked out of the noisy, and crowded cafeteria, into a deserted hall way. I pressed send, and the phone rang about three times before she finally picked up"

"Hello?" I heard her beautiful voice ask into the phone.

"Clare..." I breathed out, just barely above a whisper.
