This is my retconned and reimagined version of the Degrassi universe during the eras of TNG seasons 6-12. I rearranged some of the characters, so some of them are in different classes than they are canonically, and certain events, such as JT's death, won't happen. In addition, all of the Lakehurst students and other students that debuted on the show after their Grade 9 year have been retconned, so they all have attended Degrassi since Day 1 of their Grade 9 year. The story starts on September 7th, 2006, the first day of school during the 2006-2007 school year, or if it were on TV, episode 1 of season 6 of TNG.

"You're different from what I expected," she said softly.
"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
