( Read more...Collapse )Clare sighed as she leaned against the wall of The Dot. She was waiting for Jenna to meet her there so they could walk to school together after getting something for breakfast. It was also another way for them to discuss their plans for the day, uninterrupted. Clare was still a bit unsure as to how this was going to work or whether or not it would work out the way that Jenna so badly wanted it to. She shut her eyes as she rested her head against the brick of the building, all the possibilities of what could go run were running through her head. She was too distracted by her thoughts that she didn't hear anyone calling her name. She jumped when she felt someone's hand touch her shoulder, squeezing it gently and her eyes flutter open wide.
Jenna stood there with a sunny smile on her face and her long blonde hair falling around her shoulders and face in well constructed waves. "Clare-Bear, hey!" She said brightly as she looked her friend over, locking eyes with her as she tucked a piece of her pale hair behind one small ear.
The brunette grinned back at the blonde, happy to see her so happy and smiling, totally different from how she'd been acting yesterday. "Jenna, how are you?" She asked of her.
The petite blonde shrugged and then giggled and she interlaced her arm through Clare's. "I'm good. Better than yesterday atleast. Especially now that we've got a plan for me to get Bianca and to piss KC off at the same time."
Despite herself, Clare's lips curled into a slight smirk before she began to laugh. "You really want to make KC mad, don't you?" She asked wryly, blue eyes sparkling brightly.
Jenna's lips curl into a grin as well and she lets out a girlish giggle as she locks arms with Clare. "Yep. And don't even lie to me Clare!" She chided gently. "So do you!"
The tiny brunette didn't say anything to that. It really was the truth but Jenna didn't necessarily need to know that.
"Come on Clare-Bear, let's go eat breakfast." The other girl says, tilting her head to The Dot.
At lunchtime in the cafeteria at Degrassi, Clare immediatly goes to take a seat at her table with Dave, Connor, Wesley, and Alli. Sliding her tray across the table she takes a seat at the edge and picks up her hotdog, smiling at her friends. The smile falls off her face when she sees the look on Alli's face. Before she can inquire as to what's wrong, her arms are immediatly filled with a bubbly blonde and lips are pressed softly against her's. Clare blinks and looks at Jenna in shock. Despite their plan, Clare hadn't expected this. She'd expected to atleast be able to tell her friends what was going on first but it seemed that the blonde wanted Alli, Connor, Wesley, and Dave to be just as shocked as everyone else.
"Clare!" Alli pratically squealed. "What the hell?" Her voice was rising a pitch or two above normal, as she narrowed her eyes at Clare and Jenna.
The tiny brunette shifted her eyes torwards where Connor, Wesley, and Dave sat. Dave and Wesley were just staring at her with wide, shocked eyes while Connor just looked really confused. She opened her mouth to say something, but Jenna beat her to it.
"We're dating." She says breezily. The lie escapes her lips easily, almost as if she's been practicing. The blonde then flips back her hair and moves her hand to trail the fingertips up Clare's arm, suggestively.
Alli lets out a scoff and then says, "Clare's not a lesbian!"
The blonde rolls her eyes and lets out a scoff. "There is such a thing as bisexual, you know!" She says with an exaggerated sigh, as she stands up. "I'm gonna go, I'm not really very hungry anymore." She told Clare, giving her a secret smile before she turned on her heel, and left the table and the cafeteria.
Clare stares at the other girl's departing back with a scared look on her face. It was obvious that the idea of being left alone with her friends after what just happened, startled her. She turned back to look at her friends. Alli was making a point not to so much as glance at her and Wesley's usually pale cheeks had a flush of pink to them. Dave just continued to stare at her in shocked disbelief.
"How long has this been going on for?" Dave questioned her, curiously, locking eyes with her.
She opened her mouth to reply, but before she could, a sharp squeal against the linoleum of the lunchroom floor, interrupted her. She looked at Alli to see that the dark haired girl had a steely look in her eyes.
"I think that I am going to be sick!" Alli announced flatly, picking up her tray and shooting one, last glare at Clare before she started walking to dump her tray.
The tiny brunette watches her go sadly, wishing that she could tell her best friend what was going on. Then again, that would probably back the dark haired girl blow a fuse, even worse.
Later that day, Clare walks into the gymnasium, ready for drama class. She'd enjoyed it last year and had decided to join again. This time though, she'd tried out for a part in the play. They were doing Grease, and for some reason, Declan had seemed to think the part of Sandra Dee would fit her well.
"Clare, you're here early." A voice commented from behind her.
She let out a shriek, jumping slightly in place before she turned around to see Declan Coyne walking torwards her. Her face reddened in embarrassement at the sight of him. The last time that she'd been alone with him, was last year when she'd kissed his neck and had that hormonal little crush on him. "Um...yeah. I really didn't mean to be. It's just-Alli's not talking to me and I'd like to get my mind off of it.
His lips curve up into a delicious grin-almost a smirk and he asks, "Is this about that scene in the cafeteria?" He sounds amused by the whole prospect as he watches the younger girl turn an even deeper shade of red.
