Chapter 22

"I promise I will find a way though. You will be my girlfriend one day, I can bet my life on it." I said and slowly started to kiss her.

She kissed me hesitantly and then finally replied,

"And how do you plan on making that happen?" She asked and broke the kiss.

"I'll think of something. With you, it's hard. With out you, it's not an image I want in my mind. Ever." I said and looked her straight in the eye so she could tell I wasn't lying.

I really am falling for this girl…fast and hard.

She smiled gently at me and said,

"I guess this would be a good time to say…I'm kind of falling in love with you." She said and tried not to look at me.

I grabbed her chin and gently made her look at me.

"Yeah, now would have been a good time." I said and gave her my signature smirk.

Clare's POV

RING~RING~RING

Damn that fucking alarm clock. I had to get a louder and more obnoxious one so that the use of an alarm clock actually took place.

It's the first day of school since spring break, and I'm not one bit excited.

School starts at 8 and it's 7.

I usually had more time to get ready because of my open period but I didn't have that anymore since I was taking journalism now.

I put on super short black shorts with a grey sweater, did my make up and didn't bother straightening my hair.

I put on my black heals and went out the door.

"Morning. We're leaving in 5 minutes." Eli said when I walked downstairs.

"K." I said and a yawn slipped out while I was at it.

I drank a glass of orange juice and left for Morty.

I actually personally liked the hearse. Vintage, black and in good condition.

All I need really.

Walking through the halls of Degrassi always pissed me off, people always assumed the wrong things and judged too much.

I'm eager to know what they will think after they see Eli and I walk through the doors.

Not that I care, but it's entertaining to hear every single false rumor. Reminds me how pathetic teenagers can be.

But nothing can ruin what I had with Eli, I hadn't been happier since I can remember.

"You look distracted." Eli said when we finally parked.

"I'm just thinking." I said and smiled at him.

"May I know what?" He asked and flashed me his irresistible smirk.

"Kissing you." I said and tried to change the subject.

"Your wish is my command." He said and pushed me against Morty then kissed me as if he was a hungry bear and I was his prey.

I deepened the kiss when I realized how free we we're.

No Elliot. No parents. Just us.

~riiingg~

We stopped for a mere second when we heard the bell but continued to kiss each other when we both realized how rare this moment was.

"You have to get to class." He said and grabbed my hand then gave it a light squeeze.

"So do you." I said.

"Then why are we not walking?" He asked and smiled which I answered to with a quick kiss.

I started to walk and dragged him behind me.

He held my hand walked me to my locker. Everyone was already rushing to class but we we're taking our sweet time.

Everyone also was staring.

"I'll walk you to class." He said.

"Nah, it's okay. I'll just meet you at lunch?" I said. I didn't like that cliché stuff.

He smiled and pecked me on the cheek then walked off to his class.

At lunch, we ate at a nearby fast food place and repeated the same routine until it was summer.

Eli is a senior but I'm a junior. So when he goes off to college. I'll still be here. I don't even want to imagine that right now.

First day of summer.

Eli's POV

"Surprise." I knocked on Clare's door with a letter in my hand.

"What's that?" She asked and eyed the envelope.

"I didn't get in, so it looks like I'll be here…in community college until I can transfer." I said and smiled at her.

"That's awesome! And horrible…that's awesomely horrible!" She said and tackled me to the bed.

"So you're staying here with me?" She asked with gleaming eyes as she lay on top of me.

"Yes." I said and kissed her.

I broke the kiss and said,

"I finally have a plan." I said and sat up as she sat next to me.

"What plan?" She questioned me.

"A while ago I said I'd find a way to have us be together and let our parents know. So…I have a plan. Not the greatest, but it'll work." I said and smiled.

"Well!" She yelled and punched me in the arm.

I guess I should tell her the plan now…

"I'm getting my own place. I found a job and I can afford an apartment." I said and smiled proudly.

"I can go to school and work at the same time. It's already settled. I just gotta find an apartment." I said and stared at her for an answer.

"So…you're moving out?" She questioned.

"Yes?" I said.

"How would that solve anything?" She asked.

"Our parents wouldn't be worried about us living under the same roof. So you and I can date freely. Plus, I don't think they would've cared in the first place. But this way, no awkwardness." I said and smiled.

"You. Are. A. Genius." She says and starts to kiss me.

"I know." I said and kissed her back.

After 5 minutes she broke the kiss and said,

"You know our parents never had a wedding? Like a celebration? It was just some lame thing at the church." She said.

"We should throw them a wedding! And break the news there." She said with beaming eyes.

It wasn't actually a bad idea.
