Becky: smiled as she looked at her surroundings. Degrassi Community School. This would definitely be one for the books. She had no clue what to expect, and this put her adrenaline on the edge. When she, along with her brother and his hockey teammates, were given the orientation by the principal, she could tell that this school was one of the better public schools, possibly even better than her old school in Florida. They had a great Athletics department, which of course interested Luke, a multitude of technology classes, and an excellent drama department, which had herself bouncing on the edge of her seat. At her old school, she was the director of the drama department. Becky had a huge appreciation for plays, musicals, recitals, or anything of that nature. Last year, she had directed a production of “Legally Blonde” that went perfectly according to plan, just the way Becky wanted it. When Becky began asking questions about the drama department, the principal told her that he didn't know half the answers, and that she should find Eli Goldsworthy.

After the orientation and the assembly to welcome all of the new students into Degrassi, they were sent out into the hallway, and would be given a short passing period before having to embark to their classes. Becky found herself aimlessly wandering the halls, hoping that she would find this mysterious Eli Goldsworthy. Fortunately, she was in luck. There in front of her was a boy with long, untamed black hair, wearing a blue polo, who was casually kissing a girl with short curly hair and a red polo under a blazer. “Edwards, Goldsworthy, no public displays of affection,” a teacher said as he walked by. Becky could not believe her ears. ‘Goldsworthy?’ She thought to herself, “That’s not a very common last name, so this must be the person I’m looking for!’ Becky then mustered up some confidence and walked over to the happy couple. “Are you Eli Goldsworthy?” She asked with a sparkling smile on her face.

Biting her lower lip, trying to hide her smile, Clare got inside her car, setting the food she had just ordered in the front passenger seat. She had decided that she wanted to surprise Eli at work today and bring him some Chinese food. She had remembered from Saturday night that he had mentioned something about craving some chicken lo mien. Buckling up her seat belt, Clare drove off into the direction of the theater. 

Her thoughts could help but to wander back to the past Saturday. It was simple perfect. The two love birds lounged around in bed together until noon, cuddled on the couch as they watched some movies on Netflix, and of course broke in quite of a few rooms of their apartment. A blush washed over Clare's cheeks as she remembered every detail of what her and Eli had done. The way he had caressed her skin, kissed her in many places, and mainly made her feel loved. She wouldn't dare Eli this knowing it would be too selfish of her, but she had missed him. While they were dating and even engaged it wasn't hard to see each other, to sleep and cuddle in bed with each other; even when Eli was working on plays. Now with them married it seemed that that happened very far and few between. It saddened Clare, but she would always try to push it away. The last few days she had felt stressed because of grading homework, making up the final for her classes and Saturday was definitely a day she needed. 

Rolling into the parking lot, Clare turned her car off and grabbed the food, making her way into the building. She had decided to take the back way knowing that it would be more of a surprise for Eli. As she reached the back part of the theater she had noticed a few workers taking smoke breaks. She gently smiled at them and said a soft hello before opening the back metal door. Walking through what seemed a maze of hallways, Clare had made it to the stage area. She noticed that there were rehearsing a few scenes and decided to wait around until they took a break. 

Clare looked around and found an empty chair towards a black curtain that kept her some what hidden. A smiled crept onto her face when even she couldn't see Eli work from where she sat, the passion in her voice was very well evident. She closed her eyes as she continued to listen to Eli until the sound of giggling interrupted her concentration. Furrowing her brows, Clare turned her head and noticed that it was a group of very good looking ladies. They must be some of the actresses, Clare thought to herself. Clare was going to ignore them and go back to listening to Eli's voice until she heard a comment that caught her attention. "Oh Eli is so fucking hot." The tall blonde of the group spoke out loud. "Those late night sessions with him are really helpfully if you know what I mean." Clare could hear the suggestiveness in the girls voice along with the burst of giggles from the others members of the small group. "Did you guys fuck?" A brunette with a pony tail asked. "No, but he definitely was hands on about everything, but when we got to the part of the kiss. Damn, he is a fantastic kisser." The blonde giggled. "There is something definitely there. I can feel it." Clare wanted to stop listening to their conversation. The thoughts in her head were going a million miles per second. Eli wouldn't do such a thing? Would he? No, he's married. To me. He wouldn't dream of cheating, he was just rehearsing with the girl, that's all. He's just passionate about his work. Clare turned her attention back to the group of girls when the shorter one of the group piped in. "Isn't he married though? Clare I think her name is. He's mentioned her a few times." The girl spoke softly, obviously not liking the idea that her friend wants to pursue a married man. "Obviously he isn't happy if he's here every night until at least two in the morning. What kind of married man who loves their wife stay out that late when we are all pretty much finished by nine, ten thirty at the latest?"
