“I got jealous” and oversensitive. “I could have… should have tried? Right? I just got mad and stayed clueless…” She was half disappointed and half amused, laughing at herself.

“And I don’t wanna judge you either, K.C. I just– knew what I knew and wanted what I knew and it was … kisses at basketball games, study dates that turned into teaching me how to really kiss… and hand holding in the hall and just … dating?”

Softly “What does it need to be…?”

“Yeah. It’s fine though. It’s old news.” Kc shrugged. He was long over it. It didn’t matter now. “And I wanted more. It was not your fault. We were in different places. It was just how it was. I’m sorry.” He added. There had been nothing Clare could have done. “I want us to be okay again.”

“A guy thing? I’m just trying to … get in on the latitude of a high school guy’s point of view.”

“I did question your intelligence … and took myself too seriously. I do it the hard way and learn the hard way…”

“I believe that making love should be something special, especially for your first time, reserved for someone that you really care about.”

“Why is it still weird(?) between us?”

“Yes. A guy thing.” Kc shrugged. “I was horny and I had needs. And I wasn’t a good enough person to wait until you were ready.” He added. It hadn’t her her fault. “And you are fine in thinking that. I’m not judging.” Kc shrugged again. “I don’t think it needs to be weird.”

“I didn’t know how to be a girlfriend?” Clare cognizes, discerns. “How? It was obvious you weren’t as attracted to me as you were to Jenna, K.C. Our timing–meaning, basically, my inexperience.”

“It wasn’t your fault. It was mine.” Kc shrugged. “I wanted things you weren’t ready for. It’s not your fault.” He added. “I was just pretty stupid. I should have waited for you to be ready.”

“Yeah. I’m … Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you, K.C.” Clare mused. She was “busying myself.” She missed him and what ways and truth he brought out in her.

“You aren’t crazy, Clare.”  Kc admitted. “I think we could have been very happy..” He added. “The problem is that our timing was all off.”

“It’s just been a while, K.C….”

“Yeah. It has been. How are you?” KC asked. He missed her. He’d been the best version of himself when they were together.

“Hey!” Points out, “You were always the fun one. When is your next game?” Should she try to be more supportive of that again? “Homework or” emphasizes “home work?” Meaning, “how are things [at home], KC?” Catching up, “Where are you working?” Raised brows, “actually staying out of trouble?”

“It’s on Friday.” Kc shrugged. He figured they were prepared. He didn’t know for sure. It was hard to with this sort of stuff. He shrugged again. “School work.” He clarified. “Things are about as fine as they always are.” He added. KC was curious about why she was asking so many questions. “I got a job at The Dot.” He smiled. “How have you been?”

“Work … editing the newspaper,” laughing nervously at her ex-boyfriend, and the scholastic admission. She honestly missed being with him. “What have you been up to, KC?”

“That doesn’t surprise me at all.” KC smirked. Clare always was the smart type. Even though she was so much more than the smart one. “Not a whole not. Basketball. Homework. My new job. Nothing too crazy.”

Julia listened quietly, so that she may understand. Soft-spoken voice, “Have you had a very hard life, KC? …Was that too personal, nosy, invasive?”

Taking his hand, getting up to go over to her spectacular closet, standing in front of him, slipping his hand around her waist. “Can’t we … both” emphasizes “be hot?” Sees a “red dress?”

“I mean. Things haven’t been easy. I’m surprised you have not asked around. Because people could tell you all sorts of things.” Kc shrugged. “For example. When I started at Degrassi I lived in a group home.” 

“We can both be hot.” He smirked. Of course they could. “We can do whatever you would like.” He smiles down at her.

Smiled at the thought of them, then “Like when you were raising him…” pauses “with Jenna?” Julia always felt bad for some reason, maybe it was because she didn’t know enough about why KC and Jenna aren’t together and why Tyson wasn’t with them, and felt overactive, false guilt for her involvement and developing relationship with KC.

“And I am glad to be seen with you.” Julia smiled, asking “what’s hot to you, KC? And” primly “don’t forget,” smirks “I’m a classy Coyne.”

“Jenna and I were not good together. Together we were not great for Ty. I wish things were different. But it wasn’t good.” Kc explained. “That part of my life was my lowest point.” He added. Things were better now. He was better now. Julia made things better. Made him better. He was lucky.

“Just because you are classy does not mean you can’t be hot.” He smirked. “I think you look great in red.”

It had been awhile since she got up there on stage to perform. So after ending her performance and coming down toward the person she asked to come watch her, she couldn’t help but smile big at them, cause that performance felt really good. “Well, what did you think?” Maya questions

“I think you are incredibly talented.” Miles smirked. Smart. Pretty. Talented. Maya was a catch. He was out of his league. “Stupidly so. I am amazed.” 

“You are universally useful to me, KC. You challenge and inspire me intellectually on the academic team, and athletically, when we play soccer.” She tried to honestly, genuinely, and simply express his importance to her and how “I relax more …” laugh “a lot with you. I hope I laugh at the world with you.”

“Without entertaining you with an oration,” looks into his eyes sentimentally, “I care about you, too, KC. And you offer me exactly what I want and need for a girl my age, which is…hmm” playfully contemplating index finger on her chin “attention!”

Time skip.

“How was Ty time? I’m about to go get ready for the party. Submit your suggestions now." 

“Well I am glad you think so.” KC smirked. He liked that she thought he was great. “I want to make life better for you. In whatever ways that I can.” He added. He  felt she deserved better than him. 

Kc chuckled at her comment. “Yes, I do give you attention.” He added. KC nodded at her.

TIME SKIP

“Ty time was great. I loved it. I think he did too. But now I am glad to spend time with you.” Kc shrugged. “Wear something hot.”
