The friendship between Alli Bhandari and Campbell Saunders began when Alli started tutoring Cam in Season 12 of Degrassi.
Friendship history[]
Overview[]
Alli tutored Campbell in Chemistry, and the two spent a substantial amount of time working together to improve Campbell's grades. Later, when Campbell was depressed, he ran into Alli, and she gave him some advice to help him fix things with his girlfriend, Maya Matlin, which he followed. However, he also told Alli that he was tired of constantly having bad days, and he just wanted to "go to sleep, and never wake up" while he was having his meltdown. After he committed suicide a few days later, Alli was shown to be upset over his death since she had an idea of what could've been wrong with him but she brushed it off rather than getting him help.

Alli says that everyone has bad days, but Campbell claims that all of his days are bad, as Maya now hates him and Dallas had just screamed at him for being a screw up.

Later, Alli yells at Dallas over the phone for treating Campbell poorly.
