Clare's POV
I walk into the media immersions room hoping to find Alli. I see her sitting in her seat alone. She looksdepressed. I walk over and sit down next to her.

"Hey," I whisper. She looks at me and smiles slightly.

"Hey Clare," She says. Her face suddenly drops.

"You okay," I ask suddenly concerned. She pulls me into a tight hug.

"I've missed you so much Clare. I have so much to tell you," She says as I feel tears hit my shoulder.

"Alli what's wrong? What happened," I ask pulling her away to look at her.

"Drew cheated on me with Bianca," She whispers.

"What? When," I ask shocked.

"The day of Vegas Night. I found out at the dance. He tried to explain but I was just so upset. Owen told me the guys would pay to be with me and he offered me 50 bucks to hook up with him. I almost went through with it, I was that upset. But I couldn't. I just couldn't. Then Drew came to tell Owen off and his mom caught us in the boiler room and she said mean things about me and pretty much said I was a slut...Oh my god I am a slut. God Clare you probably hate me. I totally get it if you don't want to be friends with me, I wouldn't want to be friends with the school slut either," She cried in one breath.

Poor Alli, she really needed me over vacation and i left her hanging. God I'm a terrible best friend!

Tears start falling from her eyes again. I quickly pull her into a hug.

"Alli, you're not a slut. Owen took advantage of your vulnerability. And well Mrs. Torres, she's just not a nice person. Drew doesn't deserve you, and I would never stop being friends with you. What would i do without you? I'm so sorry I was distant over vacation. I should have answered my phone and emails," I say comforting and apologizing to her. I realize eyes are now spilling from my eyes as well.

"Thanks Clare. And I don't blame you for being distant. You went through a lot too. After everything Fitz put you and Eli through that night," Alli smiles slightly. "I'm just glad you're alright. I don't know what I would have done if I lost you. I love you."

"I love you too Alli," I smile. She's my best friend. She gets it, she gets me. What would i do if she ever left? "So have you talked to Drew since the dance," I ask. "No. But let's not talk about that. I'm done with Drew. What about you and Elijah? I mean it was pretty intense what happened," She asks.

I roll my eyes when i hear Alli call him Elijah. She's the only one who uses his full name.

"I don't know," I sigh. "We talked this morning. He said he was sorry and I couldn't help but hug him. Knowing he is safe is all I need."

"But are you guys still together," She asks curiously raising an eyebrow.

"I have no clue," I say.

"Well do you want to be," She asks.

"Yes...no...I don't know, maybe. Ugh I mean I do, but not if he's going to act like he did every time someone gets in his way. He could have died Alli. Fitz could have stabbed him," I say feeling tears trickle down my cheeks. Alli uses her thumb to wipe them away.

"Eli cares about you Clare. I think he realizes that if he screw up again, he's gonna lose you. I highly doubt he will continue the way he's going," She reassures me with a smile. I smile back.

"You think," I ask hopeful. She nods.

Maybe she's right. Maybe Eli is over the whole revenge thing. At least I hope he is. I don't want to have to exclude him from my life. I care about him way too much. The bell rings signaling to start of the school day. The class, including Ms. Oh scurry into the room. Only six more periods to go before I get to see Eli.

Adam's POV
My life is over. Now that my Mom is hanging around Degrassi all the time, I don't even feel like being here. All these new rules she's enforcing, causing other students to point fingers and whisper at me and Drew, she's ruining our lives.

I mean its bad enough having to listen to Drew babble on and on about how he screwed up with Alli and now I have to listen to him complain about Mom. There is one plus side to coming to school and her name is Fiona. Maybe today won't be so bad. I mean from the looks of it Clare and Eli made up. Hopefully that means something's will go back to normal.
We lean on the lockers near the enteranceof the school.

"This is ridiculous," Fiona whines. Me, Fiona, Eli, and Holly J watch as students enter through metal detectors.

"Adam," I hear my mom call. Oh no! Run, Adam, Run! She walks up to us as I look at the ground.

"Yeah Mom," I mumble looking up at her.

"I just wanted to let you know that I won't be able to bring you home after school. I'll be staying late," She says.

"Ok. Whatever," I sigh. She gives me a disapproving look as she scans my friends. Yeah, she hates all of them. But I don't care.

She blames Eli for Fitz's knife, Holly J for stripping when she should've been keeping everything under control, and for some odd reason she even hates Clare. She hates Fiona too. She never really went into details of why, but she defiantly let it be known she didn't like her. Luckily Alli wasn't here or she would be freaking out. She really really hates Alli. It's not like its her fault Drew hooked up with Bianca in the boiler room.

I ever really told Drew how much that bothered me. I didn't want to start a fight, so I kind of just dropped it. But I mean come on, what kind of a brother hooks up with a girl who gets his brother thrown through a glass door. Real classy Drew, real classy. Hopefully you don't get any lovely diseases. Who knows where Bianca's been.

At lunch we all decided to head to the Dot. Luckily Simpson still let us leave for lunch. Thank God the man at least has that much of a heart. We sit outside because it's such a lovely day and it's nice to feel free instead of locked in a prison.

"I don't even feel like going back to school," Clare mumbles.

"That makes two of us," Alli says walking up to sit with us. "And I'm so sick of seeing Drew's face. He makes me sick." She looks up to meet my gaze. "Uh, sorry Adam," She says giving me a sympathetic smile.

"Hey don't worry about it. You have every right to hate him, "I smile slightly back. It's nothing but true. Poor Alli.

"And we start wearing our uniforms tomorrow," Holly J says taking a sip of her coffee. We all groan.

"I wish I could just rewrite history. Go back and actually listen to Clare," Eli sighs. Clare looks a little shocked.

"Eli Goldsworthy admitting he was wrong," She says sarcastically.

"Haha funny," He smirks.

"Well it's a little too late for that Elijah," Alli sighs stealing a sip of Clare's tea. I see Eli cringe at the use of his full name.

Its funny Alli is the only one who calls him that. You think he'd tell her off, or maybe he's just nice to her because she's Clare's best friend Oh who knows...

"My mom is going to make this school a living hell," I sigh heavily. I feel something on my knee. I look down and see Fiona's hand. I smile to myself and look up at her.

"Everything's gonna be ok," She says smiling at me. She slowly slides her hand away. I wish she wouldn't. I can feel my face heat up and I hope no one notices. The girls are all too busy talking about a shopping trip this weekend. Thank God. I look at Eli from the corner of my eye. He's smirking at me.

Darn it, I was so close.
