Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi
Clare's POV (Saturday Night)
The doorbell rings and I jog down the stairs full speed hoping it's Annabeth and Aunt Kimmy. I open the door before getting attacked by my cousin.
"Clare," She squeals excitedly.
"Anna, I'm so happy you're here," I say pulling away from her.
"Hi Aunt Kimmy," I say turning to my aunt.
"Hi sweetheart," She says leaning down to kiss my cheek. "Is your mother around?"
"Not at the moment. She's actually on a date," I say walking into the living room.
"Oh, with who," Aunt Kim asks curiously sitting down. I shrug.
"I don't know, she won't tell me. I guess she wants to keep him a secret," I say joining her.
"Tell me all about Degrassi," Anna interjects. Her mom gives her a stern look.
"Sorry for changing the subject but I'm just so excited," She says. I giggle.
"Well Degrassi is pretty great. Other than the fact that we have uniforms and metal detectors, it's a great school," I tell her.
"Metal detectors," My aunt asks alarmed.
"It's nothing. There was an incident, but it was taken care of and precautions were made so it won't happen again," I reassure her.
She nods. I hear the front door open. "Clare," My mom calls.
"In the living room," I yell back. My mom walks into the room followed by a man.
"Oh Kim, Anna I didn't know you were flying in so early," She says taken back by the sight of her sister and niece.
"We weren't supposed to, but we caught an early flight," Aunt Kim says standing up to hug her.
"Well in that case, I'd like you all to meet Glen Martin. Clare you remember Glen right, and his son Jake," She says looking at me.
"You mean the kid who got gum stuck in my hair," I ask getting annoyed remembering the incident. She chuckles.
"Yeah that's the one. Well Glen's the one I've been seeing," She says.
"Oh okay well it's nice to see you again," I say to Glen.
"You too Clare, you've grown up so much," He says with a smile.
"So how is Jake," I ask only a tad bitter.
"Well you'll get to find out, we're having dinner with him and Glen tomorrow night," She says. I nod.
Hopefully Jake doesn't put gum in my hair again!
Adam's POV (Same time Saturday Night)
Me, Drew, Rachael, Eli, and Bianca all sit around the basement hanging out.
"So where's Clare tonight," I ask, turning my eyes from the TV screen to look at Eli.
"She texted a little while ago saying her cousin Annabeth arrived, so I think they're catching up," He says shooting my player.
"Annabeth," Bianca scoffs. "Is she a cowgirl from the south," She says with a fake southern accent.
"I reckon she just might be," Rachael says copying her and putting a five of hearts on the table. Bianca gives her a look.
"You would steal my move," She says picking a card out of the deck. Rachael laughs.
"Dudes I'm so hungry," Drew groans, rubbing his stomach.
"I think there's a Dominos menu in the drawer up stairs," I say placing my game controller on the coffee table.
"Leggo," Drew says jumping up from the couch and booking it up the stairs. Bianca stands up.
"He better not just order meat lovers like last time," She says walking up the stairs.
"I'm gonna get a soda and call Clare, either of you want anything," Eli asks standing up.
Rachael and I both shake our heads. Eli walks up the stairs. Rachael gets up and sits on the couch next to me.
"Wanna play a round," She asks picking up my game controller.
"Why not," I chuckle. Turns out the girl's good at warfare.
"So tell me something," I say. "Tell you what," She asks looking at me.
"What's the deal with you and Eli," I ask.
"There's no deal," She says turning to the TV.
"Obviously something happened or else he would have told everyone about you," I pry deeper.
She sighs heavily. "So what's the deal," I ask again.
Rachael's POV (Continuation)
"So what's the deal," Adam asks me. It's a long story, too much to explain in one night. And to be honest I don't know if I want to talk about it. I'm in a better place than I was back then and I don't want to go back there.
[Flashback]
I walk up the stairs to my room when Eli calls my name. I walk into his room to see him pacing back and forth.
"You okay," I ask leaning against the doorframe.
"Is it true," He asks with eyes as black as death.
"Is what true," I ask confused.
"Don't play stupid Rachael, you know what I'm talking about," He hisses angrily.
"No I really don't Eli," I snapped annoyed.
"Did you have sex with that piece of ****," Eli asks angrily.
"How…how did you find out about that," I stutter. Eli's eyes turn black again.
"Are you ******* kidding me! Why would you ******* do that," He screams.
"I…I don't know. I went to his party and I was drinking," I say looking at the ground.
"You were drunk! Wow Rachael I thought you were smarter than that," He yells.
"It was a mistake okay," I say angrily.
"I can't believe you were so stupid. Do you realize what this makes you look like," Eli continues to yell.
"No Eli actually I don't so why don't you tell me," I say throwing my hands in the air.
"I just can't believe you're going around acting like some slut," He says venomously. I stare at him with teary eyes.
"Oh so now I'm a slut. I make one mistake and I'm a slut," I scream.
"Pretty much," Eli hisses.
"Well maybe I'm taking after Julia," I scream at him. His eyes turn gray and his body tenses.
"Don't talk about her like that," He groans.
"No Eli I will talk about her like that because if I'm a slut what was she? I'm pretty sure she screwed way more guys than I ever did," I shout.
Eli's face falls and he looks at the ground. "Rachael stop," He begs angrily.
"No I don't want to. I'm so sick of you acting like you're the only one who lost someone. We all lost her Eli and last time I checked she cared way more about me than she ever cared about you! And according to Chelsea she didn't even love you at all! She met more to me than you and you know it. So if I want to say she was a no good slut I can and I will," I yell as tears flow down my cheeks.
Next thing I know a picture frame is getting thrown at my head. I duck and the glass shatters as it hits the wall. I look up at Eli who looks ready to explode.
"You don't know what you're talking about! Julia did love me and she wasn't a slut, you are," He screams.
"Believe whatever the hell you want Eli, but deep down you know the truth," I say.
He shakes his head. "I hate you," He snarls at me.
"Join the ******* club Elijah," I snap as I walk down the hall to my room.
I close the door, curl up in my bed, and cry myself to sleep.
"Earth to Rachael," Adam says waving a hand in front of my face.
"Sorry," I say sheepishly.
"It's fine; look if you don't want to talk about it then I'll drop it. Sorry it's none of my business anyways," He says with a smile.
He's got a beautiful smile and god am I jealous of those eyes of his. They could distract anyone.
"So Bianca and Drew are busy making out in the kitchen so we should probably keep an ear out for the delivery guy," Eli says coming down the stairs.
I turn my attention back to the TV. Adam rolls his eyes.
"I'm surprised they don't suffocate each other," He jokes. I let out a giggle. Adam looks at me and smiles. Oh that smile!
I know the whole flashback part may be confusing right now, but I promise it'll make sense later on.
