Lizette and I were back together. It had been only a two days since I had gone to Rivers and Lizette had given me no inclination that there was any chance that she could come back to Degrassi. I missed seeing her in my classes and I could feel my new interest in school declining every minute that I wasn't around her. My mom had approved of Lizette, which was a first for her. Everything should have been perfect, but without Lizette nothing made sense. I had gotten a week's detention for leaving school without a note and my mom just sighed at my insolence, or at least that's the word she used.

"So Drewzette is going for long distance?" Asked Adam, throwing his backpack into the foot space.

"I guess so, we're going to try and make it work."

"By aggrandizing our family phone bill?" He asked, turning on the music.

"Shut-up." I said.

"Sorry I forgot to use one syllable words with you now that Lizette's gone." We spent the rest of our drive to school bickering about trivial things like school, TV, and music. He some how got it into his head that Firework was a better song than The Time.

We were early, so we sat on the steps while Adam tried to walk me through sectionalism for my quiz later. After he gave up, we went to our lockers.

"So, who's going to be your new lab partner?" He asked, making casual conversation.

"Who cares?" I asked back, leaning up against my locker.

"Lizette might." He said, pointing down the hallway. With Eli's arms wrapped casually around her and Clare, Lizette appeared. Eli whispered something in her ear and she ran to me. I caught her up in my arms in a way similar to those in movies.

"Hey, you." She said, still holding on to me.

"Hi." I said, leaning down and kissing her on the cheek.

"That's all I get?" She asked, pouting a little. I smirked and kissed her for real this time.

"Ugh, I'm having a bad day." Adam was always exasperated when it came to PDA. He walked back over to Eli and Clare, who simply carried on down the hallway.

"What are you doing at lunch?" She asked.

"Depends, what are you doing?" I asked, tucking a strand of hair behind her ears.

"I was hoping for some quality time with my boyfriend." She said, grinning.

"You seem happy today." I commented.

"Of course I am. I'm back at school…I'm back with my boyfriend, what's there to be upset about?" I loved her; I wanted to tell her so badly. But, it was so early so I said nothing. As long as I knew that those words existed in me and that they were true, I was happy.

"So, where do you want to meet up for lunch?" I asked. She backed away slowly, holding my hand in both of hers. She kissed me once, and then whispered in my ear.

"You'll figure it out…eventually." She pulled away and started running down the deserted hallway. I shook my head and chased after her.
