Heyy! Ch 20...I don't own Degrassi

Chapter 20

Eli P.O.V

I woke up and sat up in my bed. I stretched and glanced at the clock. It was 11:20. I was gonna meet Fiona and The Dot at 12:00. I rushed out of bed heading for the shower. After I took a shower, I brushed my teeth and put some clothes on. I texted Fiona.

Hey Fi, I'm running late. Might be there at 12:15.

After combing my hair, she responded.

No problem, so you're late cause you're getting 'prettied up for me' eh?

~Fiona

I smirked when I saw the message.

Haha, very funny. Be there soon, bye.

I stuffed my phone in my pocket and ran down the stairs grabbing my wallet on the kitchen counter.

"Hey mom, I'm meeting a friend for coffee." I said going to my dad's car keys but they weren't there. "Uh. Mom? Where are dad's car keys?" I asked

"He had to go run some errands for me." She said, "You can take my car."

"It breaks down so much." I groaned, "Who knows if it breaks down while I'm driving?"

"Then you're gonna have to walk." My mom shrugged

"Fine." I frowned

I grabbed my jacket and ran out the door. I ran as fast as I could because I was already late anyway. I was 10 minutes away when I felt my phone vibrate. The caller ID said Clare.

"Hey Clare." I smirked

"Hey Eli!" She said

"What's up?" I asked

"I was wondering if...on Sunday."

"Yeah?"

"Could we help Adam plan his date with that girl Tori? I want it to be super special for him." She stated, so sweet

"Of course. I want this date to go good for him, where would we plan it?" I asked

"At his house." She said

"Sure!" I said, "Sounds great."

"So, what is Eli Goldsworthy up to today?" She laughed

"Eli Goldsworthy is talking to his beautiful girlfriend on the phone while walking to The Dot to meet Fiona." I smirked

"Tell her I said hi." She said

"Will do." I said, "What are you up to?"

"I'm actually spending quality time with my good friend Jake." She laughed

"Oh." I stated, I was kind of not happy she was spending time with...him. I liked Jake but I couldn't help thinking if he would 'try something.'

"Something wrong? You're not jealous, are you?" She asked

"Yes, Clare. I'm so jealous you're hanging out with your ex-boyfriend, step brother." I stated sarcastically.

"Okay, okay. You're not jealous, just sounded like you were. But don't worry cause I'm hanging out with Alli later on." She said

"Good. I'm glad to hear you and Alli are on the best terms." I smiled

"Yeah me too." She laughed. I was in front of The Dot, time to stop talking to beautiful Blue Eyes.

"Blue Eyes, I gotta go. I'm in front of The Dot. Text me, okay?" I said

"I will. Have a great time Eli." She said

"Bye." We said and hung up.

I walked into the door and saw Fiona looking up at me with her arms crossed.

"Goldsworthy! Over here! NOW!" She said

"Yes Princess Fiona?" I said sitting down across from her

"You said you'd be 10 minutes late, not twenty!" She uncrossed her arms and started to pull her hair up in a ponytail. "Start talking."

I smirked, I knew she was joking. "Well, my dad took his car to go somewhere. All I had was my mom's car which breaks down A LOT. I didn't want to be driving her car if it broke down while I was driving. SO." I said taking her hand, "I had to walk."

"Nice story, but it won't save you next time." She winked

"What do you want to drink?" I asked

"I want a milk shake." She said, "What do you want?"

"Coffee. I didn't eat breakfast, I need to wake up." I said

"Okay! I'll go order." She said walking up to the counter

"Fi! Wait! The money for the coffee-"

"Will be paid by me!" She said

"Fiona the guy pays for the girl's drink!" I rolled my eyes

"We're not on a date, I like girls! Remember?" She laughed

I smacked my hand to my face. "I'm paying you back anyway." I said

"Keep your money! You need it." She smiled

"...Fine. Thanks Fi." I smiled

"You're welcome." She got up and walked to get our orders

Fiona was an extremely good friend. I could always count on her to humor me. To give me good advice too.

Still Eli's P.O.V

Later on I walked back home and relaxed for a while. I texted Clare and watched TV. Soon enough it was 4:00 and it was time to go to Adam's house. My dad had come home already so the car was there for me to take. I grabbed a bottle of water, car keys, and I was ready. I got in the car and headed to Adam's house. All we were gonna do was watch scary movies and TV. Maybe some comic debates. I laughed to myself. Adam and I were best buds. We've only known each other for a year but it feels like I've known him my whole life.

It was 5 minutes and I got to Adam's house. I knocked on the door and soon enough, Adam appeared in the doorway with tons of nachos in his mouth.

"Hi." He mumbled and tried to say through the nachos but I could hardly hear what he was saying.

"Uh, what?" I laughed. I wasn't sure if I heard him right

He didn't have a response but just pulled me in the house. He put on finger up in my face, motioning for me to wait a second while he swallowed all the nachos. 15 seconds went by and he finally said something.

"Hi." He said

"Hi!" I laughed

"Shall we go be lazy teens on the couch with nachos, pizza, and other good snacks. Along with lots of soda?" He smiled

"The couch awaits." I shrugged walking over to the couch.

"So...has Clare told you about that girl Tori? How she wants to set up the date for us?" He asked sitting down next to me.

"Yep, you okay with us setting up our date?" I asked as he tossed me a can of Sprite.

"Yeah! I was actually relieved, you guys have good taste." He laughed

"Cool." I said, "So does she know about...your situation?"

"Not yet." He stiffened

"Adam, don't worry. You don't have to tell her for a while. Let's just see how this date goes." I said putting a hand on his shoulder, reassuringly

"Thanks. You always know what to say!" He laughed

"I guess I have what they call 'experience.'" I said with air quotes around experience

"So anyway. What movie should we watch first?" He said sipping his soda and grabbing a slice of pizza

"How about...Inception?" I asked

"Okay!" He said and he put the movie in

Still Eli P.O.V

I had a really good time with Adam. We watched like tons of movies and ate all we wanted to. It was 9:00 and I drove home and went straight upstairs. I changed into sweats and a gray t shirt and brushed my teeth. I called Clare to say goodnight. RING RING RING RING

"Hey Eli." Clare greeted me

"Hey blue eyes, how was your day?" I asked

"Good, yours?" She asked

"Very good." I said, "I had a very good guys night with Adam."

"I'm happy to hear that!" She said, "So anyways, Adam's date is at 6:30 tomorrow. A Sunday. So uh do you want to meet at Adam's house at maybe 4:00? To help him cook and set up anything?"

"Sounds like a deal! But instead of meeting you there, I'll pick you up." I said

"Okay, thanks." She laughed, "So what should we make for their date?"

"What's a romantic food?" I asked

"Uhhhh." Clare struggled, I laughed

"Think of Lady and the Tramp." I smirked

"Oh! Spaghetti and Meatballs!" She cheerfully said

"Of course when I name a Disney movie, you get it!" I laughed

"Hey! What's wrong with that?" She laughed

"Nothing. It's cute." I smirked

She laughed, "Okay so Spaghetti and meatballs it is. Thanks, I can always count on you."

"I'm here for you." I chuckled

"Same here!" She said

"So, I'll pick you up at 3:45 I guess?" I asked

"Yup! Goodnight Eli. See you tomorrow." She said

"Sweet dreams Blue Eyes." I said and we hung up
