Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi or the black hole. If I owned Degrassi, Campbell would be alive.
Kendra Mason tapped her pencil on her desk. She sighs; another day of staring at the blackboard, written on the board says "Welcome to the Degrassi Black Hole."
Mrs. Kwan sits at the desk reading the Lord of the Flies for about the hundredth time. Somewhere in the back another classmate coughs, Leia Chang.
For a while Kendra was the only well-known character stuck here. Kendra was confused on why she was put in the black hole.
Some characters have attempted to escape, but it's not as easy as it seems. Kendra wasn't even allowed to leave for her brother's wedding.
Kendra's brother had very strong story lines but why wasn't Kendra even mentioned? It was a question Kendra asked a lot when it was only here stuck there.
The black hole was very lonely at first. There were rules here. No leaving the classroom unless the writers remember you.
Towerz was the second victim; Kendra wasn't interested in befriending a candy bandit. Kendra had high hopes that someone decent would show up next.
When Chris Sharpe was added to the black hole it did nothing for Kendra. Chris wasn't that strong of a character, he was just a love interest for Emma.
Kendra's favorite black hole victim was Blue. Blue was a love interest for Holly J but eventually he was black holed. To Kendra the boy was flawless.
He could draw, and every word he said made the angels seem dull. Kendra often got lost in thought staring at Blue.
A loud thump came from somewhere in the class. Wesley and Hannah fell onto the floor tangled together.
Wesley was one of the luckier victims – at least his girlfriend came with him. Mrs. Kwan says something to them about PDA, but they're in their own little world and continue what they're doing.
Kendra came with no one. There was no one to ever explain to Kendra why she was in the black hole.
The students forever sat around in one classroom with a Television watching their fellow classmates go on without them.
Most of Kendra's former classmates had forgotten about her existence including her own brother. Sure, Kendra may have been adopted, but it was a little cold that her brother forgot her.
Tonight was a Friday, and everyone in the class was anxious, tonight was a peak into the life they have left behind. The episode featured Campbell Saunders.
Jess Martello squealed for joy – she had been hoping Campbell would be the next victim, but his popularity suggests he won't meet this fate. Jess still holds on to hope for Campbell to join her.
Kendra had never met him; he was only introduced in this current season. In fact, none of the victims had personally met Campbell.
Kendra was black holed in season 3. Being locked away in a classroom for 9 seasons got a little boring for everyone.
When the episode finished Kendra glanced over at Jess. She was beaming at the fact Campbell had just text-dumped Maya Matlin.
Kendra shakes her head; Jess better hope that Maya never joins the black hole; surely one of the students here would squeak about Jess's infatuation with Cam.
Blue makes his way towards Kendra; she tries to hide her excitement. "Any chance Cam will be black-holed since he and Maya are broken up?" Blue asks with a hopeful look on his face.
Kendra groans "Not you too, Blue!" Kendra pauses to smile at her accidental rhyme. "Why do you want Cam to be black-holed?"
Blue's expression changes, "I actually really like hockey…" that doesn't sound much like Blue to Kendra.
Blue opens his mouth to speak again "…The writers never got around to my secret love of hockey. The episode was cancelled, go figure." Blue gives a sheepish smile.
Blue's smile made Kendra blush redder than a tomato. Something about Blue made the black hole a little nicer. Blue added some color to the black hole.
Blue added a little color to Kendra's world. It was a secret Kendra had kept for a few seasons. It was unrequited love at first sight.
In the black hole the students didn't sleep nor eat. Nobody aged, forever the age they were before they got sucked in. They all were sort of just there.
Leia Chang was preaching more racism theories; Leia does make a point Kendra thought. There were more than a few Asians stuck in the black hole.
Lily stuck in here since the first year; although no-one really cared about her. Tim from friendship club, who everyone told Kendra looked like her sibling.
It even got Mrs. Kwan; she just sits around trying to get all of the students to stay quiet like she thinks they're in detention or something. Everyone just ignores Mrs. Kwan.
Kim who was also from friendship club; nobody really remembers her. Not even in the black hole is Kim relevant. Then there is Kendra and of course, Leia Chang.
None of the mentioned had felt they had a very deep story. The writers didn't even seem to bother with any of them. While Leia rambled on about unfair and wanting to take action against the writers, Kendra tuned out it all out.
Kendra's thoughts bubbled to Toby Isaacs, the last student to remember her. Angered by the memories of Toby, Kendra slammed down on her desk.
"Watch it, Kendra." Shouted Bruce from the front of the class, poor Bruce, the writers never even bothered to give him a last name.
There is laughter coming from outside in the hallway, probably a student that goes to Degrassi.
They're not all certain they're even stuck at Degrassi. There are a few characters stuck in the black hole that didn't even attend the school.
Nobody understands exactly why a few college people went here. At least they had a longer time of freedom.
People like Kendra were young. Sucked into the black hole as a freshman, Kendra thought it sucked. There could have been a life out there for everyone.
Kendra glances up at the blackboard again. Those same words untouched "Welcome to the Degrassi black hole."
