Best Friends Forever? [Complete]

Chapter one: You have the most Beautiful eyes.

Next morning Eli and Clare were tired as they always were the first day of school, they hadn't gone to sleep till six in the morning only to have to get up at seven. But as they walked to school together for the first time since Eli was in Grade eight and Clare was in grade seven. Eli looked over at Clare who was struggling to carry her backpack, she had stuffed it with a the books she may need. Eli was watching and rolled his eyes at her as she almost dropped her backpack. ''Why do you have all those books? You have way more then you need!'' Clare looked defensively at him.

''I just got a few more text books in case I need them for extra credit!'' She said as she put her backpack on her shoulders, Eli rolled his eye again making her scowl at him.

''You are such a nerd!'' He said putting his arm around her and hugging her close to him and rubbing her head affectionately as she glared up at him again. ''But you're my nerd''.

''Yeah no''. She said shaking her head, but she gave him a squeeze back, a smile creeped onto her face. She was nervous for her first day of school and frankly she'd rather have Eli with her all day. She was just worried that nobody would like her. She shouldn't care because she wasn't going to make nice with any of them but she did care, she couldn't take being hated either.

''You wanna come to my house after school?'' Eli asked as they kept walking down the road the school beginning to show itself. She gave him a smile, he knew her mom was having her new boyfriend for dinner and she didn't want to be there for it. She wanted Clare to make nice with his son but frankly Clare didn't care too.

''That sounds great''. She and Eli walked on to the school grounds together and Eli gave her another squeeze he probably knew how she was feeling he always did that was one of the reasons they were best friends. When they walked in the doors they just stood there looking at one another. They didn't want to leave and be apart.

''So... I'll see you at lunch?'' Eli gave her another hug and she nodded giving a nervous sigh he patted her shoulder reassuringly. ''You'll do great, you always do''. They both gave one another one last smile before walking down the halls of Degrassi in Different directions. Clare sighed as she walked down the hall alone and to her first class. She stood at the door for a moment wishing Eli was here so she didn't have sit with some stranger who would try to befriend her! So she simply sat down at a empty desk at the back of the room. She began to doodle in her notebook, trying to ignore every one around her.

''Hey can I sit here?'' Clare jumped a little bit at the voice. She looked up to see a dark haired girl standing there. She looked friendly and bubbly and the kind of person who would try to befriend her. She simply nodded and went back to her doodling she couldn't break her promise to Eli! The girl sat down and looked at for a few moments then spoke. ''I'm Alli''. She said giving Care a big smile. Clare wanted to roll her eyes but didn't this girl WAS bubbly and frankly kind of annoying. ''Are you a freshman to'?'. Clare looked up from her notebook, this was the freshman homeroom wasn't it? But she spoke for the first time.

''I'm Clare, and yeah i'm a freshman''. She said giving Alli a smile.

''Awesome! we can be friends!'' She squealed. ''This is so great!'' Clare simply nodded and took out her flip phone her mother had given her for her fourteenth birthday.

Clare: A girls trying to make friends with me...

Eli: Everyone's ignoring me...

Clare felt sorry for Eli, no one ever made the time to get to know him before they ran away screaming. Clare didn't know what she'd think of him had she not known him her whole life. Alli was still babbling to her Clare wasn't really listening but Alli didn't notice because she was talking so fast. until Alli said something about being in the gifted class Clare perked up realizing they had soothing in common.
