Authors Note: I'm back with a new story. I really like this idea and hopefully you do to. Ok, so Clare and Eli are really OOC, especially Clare(you have been warned). Also their will be drugs, alcohol and some detailed sexual relations in later chapters. This is not following the Degrassi plot so erase that stuff out of your head. I'm officially in love with that show Animal hoarders, it's kinda sad though. Um….so, yeah review cause you know you want.

Clare steps out of Bianca's beat up Honda civic and starts making her way toward Degrassi's doors. She examines her jeans plucking at loose threads and running her fingers through her short messy curly locks. Clare touched her dry lips and suddenly felt very thirsty.

"Bianca, come on.", Clare whines at the girl who is still applying make-up not caring that they were late.

"Clare, calm down. We're already late, so it doesn't matter how fast you walk into that school , because we'll still be late.", She rolled her ocean blue eyes at Bianca, cursing the girl silently under her breath. Clare hated being late and Bianca had showed up late to pick her up three times this week.

"Well I'd at least like to make it to lunch.", she huffed before leaving the brunette in the empty parking lot. And sure enough, kids were roaming the halls, on there way to lunch. She checked her watch brown leather watch that had once been her mothers, just to be sure.

Clare looked up into the crowd of students and noticed Ali talking to Jenna. She instantly felt jealous because that used to be her, talking to her best friend about nothing unparticular instead of getting drunk on school nights. Ali momentarily looked up at Clare but didn't bother to smile she pretended she hadn't seen her and continued talking to Jenna. Clare pushed her regretful thoughts to the back of her head and started off toward her locker where Adam was waiting for her.

"You're late.", he deadpanned, and began to take in her tired, hung-over appearance.

"No, Adam everyone else is just early.", she scoffed and he moved aside letting her open her locker saying,

"No need to be snippy Clare bear.", her hand jerked as she tried to turn to her last number as she heard those last two words, Clare bear. She hated that name with a fiery passion and he knew that. She glared at him, her eyes burning holes into his forehead.

"Sorry.", he held up his hands in defense. She finally got her locker open and pulled out her books for English. She was in the process of searching for some Advil, when Adams phone started buzzing uncontrollably, making her head ache even worse.

"Adam your phone.", Clare finally found them and popped two in her mouth, washing them down with water.

"Okay….Cool I'll see you there." Adam beamed brightly at Clare who tried to smile back but the painful throbbing in the back of her head made it nearly impossible.

"What's got him smiling like an idiot?" Adam immediately frowned as Fitz made his way toward them. Clare rolled her eyes and eyed herself in the mini mirror that was in her locker. She never really liked looking at herself in the mirror. The way she looked disgusted her.

"Well if you must know my friend E-"

"Whoa Clare, you look like shit.", she grimaced looking at the dark circles under her eyes.

"Thanks.", She responded sarcastically while pulling out her make up bag.

"Anyways, my friend Eli goes to Degrassi now, and we are getting lunch at the Dot.", he smiled again. Clare remembered him going on and on about some Eli person last week.

"He's that emo kid, right?", Fitz asked, just as Clare was finishing up.

"Yep.", Adam answered as she shut her locker.

"Hey, Clare looks less shitty.", she faked a smile at Fitz who laughed. He could be extremely annoying at times, but what could she expect.

"Hey Clare ya' coming." Fitz motioned towards the cafeteria doors. She scrunched her nose up at the thought of eating greasy cafeteria food. She thought about tagging along with Adam, but she really wasn't in the mood to eat with his friend too. Clare declined and headed to the library. She sat in a corner of the library farthest from the librarian and anyone else who might be eating lunch there. Clare rested her head on the hard library table and drifted to sleep.

He brushed her curls out of her face and kissed her forehead. She smiled and snuggled deeper under the covers. He continued to comb his fingers through her cinnamon colored hair, each time his fingers resting on the top of her tank top. She moved pushing his hand out of the way. He frowned and whispered,

"Your so pretty Clare bear."

Authors Note: Hmm…..that was interesting. Tell me what ya think. Does anyone else miss Degrassi? I do, I'm officially deprived. Reviews are like candy they give me a sugar high. So with that said…
