"I don't get why I have to go to this school! Why can't you keep homeschooling me? They're already a fourth way into the school year" I whine to my mom as we drive down the street to Degrassi
She sighed "I already told you, sweety, I don't have the time with my new job. Also, it would be best to start hanging around people your age. You even have a student guide to show you your classes, make friends with them"
I throw my hands up in the air "But people my age suck, so what if I'd rather hang out with the guys in my band"
"The guys in your band are of legal drinking age" she mumbles
I roll my eyes and we sit in silence until I see a building out of the corner of my eye. Dang, these Degrassi people are ones for fancy architecture
I look at my mom and give a weak smile "Can I at least ride my bike to school tomorrow?"
"All right," she says but raises a brow at me "You know I love you right?"
We pull up to the entrance and I smile "Yeah I know, I love you too Mom"
I give her a kiss on the cheek and open my door "See ya later Mom"
"Bye Y/N" she hollered "Text me if you aren't gonna be home by 4:30"
I give her a thumbs-up as she drives away and slings my backpack over my shoulder. I look down at my khakis and the most basic blue shirt ever. Dam this school and its awful uniforms
Just as I was giving my critique of this outfit in my head I felt myself bump into someone and I was knocked in my butt. I look up to see a boy with green, almost hazel eyes. His hair was kinda emo but he still looked really cute, for lack of more creative vocabulary
'At least there are some good things in this school' I thought to myself
"You good?" He asks giving me a hand which I accept
"Yeah, I'm fine, sorry about that. I wasn't paying attention and-" I then noticed he had a cane
"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry! Great my first day here, and I ran into a kid who's injured!" I groan smacking my hand against my forehead
He chuckles "It's fine, it wasn't a life-or-death collision"
He puts his hand out for me to shake "Eli Goldsworthy, and you are...?"
I accept his handshake "Y/N, Y/N L/N"
"Y/N... Pretty name for a pretty girl" He smiles at me
I feel a blush coat my cheeks and I look down, Dang are all the guys at this school this charming, cause if so I'm screwed.
"Thanks" I smile back at him
The first bell rings
"Well, I should probably get to class, see you around?" He asks
"Definitely" I nod a bit too eagerly and he smirks, walking away
I noticed in the clear doorway a girl was watching us with short curly brown hair. She bolts away and my brows furrow in confusion. I make my way to what looks like an office so they can introduce me to my student guide
~~~
When I get to the office I see the man whom I'm assuming is the principal already standing there with... Hold on it's that girl from earlier
"Miss L/N? I presume?" He asks sticking out his hand. I nod and shake his hand
"Pleasure to meet you, sir"
"And to you the same, now this is Clare Edwards, you're student guide," he says gesturing towards the girl "Now you two must get off to class, Clare you've been shown her schedule?"
She nods and we are ushered off
"Your class is-" she starts but I cut her off
"Why were you spying on me and Eli earlier?" I ask raising a brow and her posture sinks a bit
She sighs "He and I used to date, and I just know he is a tad fragile at the moment. I don't want him or anyone around him to get hurt"
"I just met the guy it's not like I'm gonna marry him" I roll my eyes
"Yeah but it's obvious you already like him"
"Wha- I- I do not" I stutter and try not to kick myself
"He has that effect on people," she says as we stop in front of what I assume is my classroom "Just be wary, get to understand him before you plunge into the deep end"
I felt a twinge of worry in my chest and gave a small smile to the girl because she was genuinely trying to help
"Would you maybe want to sit with me and my friends at lunch?" She asks which makes me smile
"Sounds good" I reply "Thanks Clare"
She nods and I walk into the classroom
I get one of those movie-like feelings that everyone has their eyes on me
"Ah, I assume you're Miss L/N," the teacher asks and I nod
She starts talking but I then notice a familiar set of emo locks by the window
"Miss L/N?" I shoot my head up "Please take a seat by Mr. Goldsworthy"
I nod as she gestures to a seat next to Eli
"I see we meet again Princess, what brought us here? Fate, Destiny?" He whispers next to me
"Try a student guide" I smirk at him and he winks
"If you say so"
I shush him "If you don't mind Goldsworthy, I'd like to get a decent grade in this class"
He puts his hands up in defeat and I smile, What a peculiar boy
