Hello! 'Tis me, Kaori-chan! I'm a huge fan of Degrassi and a huge fan of Manuela Santos/Cassie Steele. This story is about me (Kaori!) and my twin sister (Kiari!) who arrive at Degrassi and turn the school upside down! Read on…sorry to be so pushy! ;

Where She Belongs

Degrassi: The Next Generation

Part One: New Wave

By: KaoriNeko

The glass doors to Degrassi Community School swung open. It was a cool October day and Ms. Kwan's homeroom class was expecting two new students.

The new students strutted down the hallways, the boys gasped and the girls screamed in terror.

"Well, today class, we'll be having two new students joi-" Mrs. Kwan began, but before she could finish, the door opened and the boys in the classroom began whooping and clapping.

"Boys, Boys, calm down," Ms. Kwan shouted. "These are our new students, Kaori and Kiari Gray. They just moved here from Tokyo, they also lived in New York for three years! So welcome them!"

"Do you chicks, like, speak English?" Spinner questioned. Kaori and Kiari stared at him disgustingly. They both had bright green eyes, honey colored hair which was streaked with blonde, and they wore matching bejeweled Dolce & Gabbana chiffon baby-doll dresses, except Kaori's was blue and Kiari's was pink.

The girls walked over to their seats and sat down, their Gucci stilettos clicking. They were seated by a cute girl wearing a pink paper boy hat and pink velour track suit. She had black hair which tumbled down to her back. She smiled at them, her dimples making her seem even more nice.

"Hi, I'm Manuela Santos, nice to meet you!"

"Kaori."

"Kiari." The twins said back to Manuela with smiles spreading across their faces.

Kaori and Kiari entered Degrassi's lunch room and the boys once again started clapping. Spinner ran up to Kaori and grabbed her hand, "I love you, I'll leave my girlfriend to be with you!"

"Back the hell off…" Kaori mumbled, she and her sister went to the empty table by the window. Crowds of girls flocked to the table, except Hazel and Paige.

"Who the hell do they think they are?!" Paige screamed.

"I know!" Hazel said, having to agree with her best friend's statement. But secretly, like all the other girls Paige and Hazel wanted to know where they got their Dolce & Gabbana!

"Man, those girls are hot!" Jimmy said, he Spinner, Craig, and Marco had just exited Science.

"I know, even I'd date them!" Marco said. The whole group erupted in laughter.

"Too bad Jimmy and I are tied down…damnit!" Spinner said. Craig smiled, he wasn't, at least he didn't think so. Ashley had so many mood swings, it's like she was PMSing all year. Suddenly, Craig spotted Kaori, she was bent over picking up something that fell from her open locker. He could see her thong through the sheer material of her Dolce & Gabbana dress.

"Hey, Kaori!" Craig said, she turned around, her long honey and blonde streaked hair swinging.

"Hey, aren't you Craig?" she asked. Craig nodded his curly head and left his group. Spinner, Marco, and Jimmy clapped and kept walking.

"So, do you like it here so far?" Craig asked the girl before him. She nodded slightly.

"You just made it better." She closed her locker and walked away, Craig watched as her hips switched with each step. He had to ask her out, he had to.

"Hey, Kiari!" Manuela called out to the girl in front of her. Kiari turned around smiling.

"Hello, Manuela! How are you?" Manuela nodded.

"I'm good, but you can call me Manny, I was wondering, do you and your sister have any friends? 'Cause I don't, I'm kind of known as the Degrassi Slut."

"Of course we'll be your friends! All the other girls just want to be our friends because of our style…" Kiari said, flipping through her math book. They were in the library and their math teacher sent them to study together.

"I'm so glad, 'cause everyone hates me now…" Manny said.

The next day at school, the students were still buzzing over the twins.

"I heard they had to be expelled from their school because they broke some girl's jaw…"

"I heard they were expelled because they were streaking at football games…"

Kaori and Kiari just laughed it off, it was so hilarious how people start gossip and the gullible people fall for it. It was a Friday and they were preparing to go to New York City to shop like they did every weekend. They needed new clothes badly, today they were wearing Prada mini-dresses, Kaori's blue and Kiari's pink.

"Hey, girls, wait up!" Manny called. She ran up to the twins and grabbed their hands.

"Are you two doing anything this weekend?" Kaori nodded.

"We're going shopping down in NYC, we'll be staying at the Tribeca Star Hotel, you should come." Manny shrugged.

"I dunno, I have to ask."

"Hey, Kaori!" A voice shouted from behind, it was Craig. Craig grabbed her by her shoulder and pulled her away from the group. Kiari giggled and kept walking with Manny, Manny looked over her shoulder then turned back. She was over Craig, right?

"What the hell!" Kaori said in response to Craig's roughness. Craig smiled and Kaori melted, his teeth were so white.

"Hey, won't you come with me to the Maple Leafs game on Friday?" Kaori shook her head.

"Can't, me, Kiari, and Manny are going shopping in New York City…hey, you should come! …And bring someone for Kiari and Manny so they won't be lonely." Craig laughed, he just met this girl and they were already leaving the country…that's so sexy!

"So is everyone ready? My dad will be dropping us off at the bus station." Kiari said as she, Manny, Kaori, Craig, and two of his friends, Jimmy and Spinner were waiting for their dad, Hiro, to pick them up. A big, black Cadillac Escalade pulled up to the school. The doors swung open and the teens began to pile into the giant SUV.

"So you must be Craig," Mr. Gray said. "Kaori speaks of you all the time, it drives Hana crazy."

"Craig, this is my dad, Kevin, by the way, Hana is my mom." Kaori said and motioned for her dad to drive.

After about fifteen minutes of awkward silence, the SUV pulled up to the bus station and the teenagers climbed out. When they were buying their tickets, Craig had his hand on Kaori's butt and amazingly, Kaori thought nothing of it. I guess in a way, she's an easy girl.

They boarded the bus and waited for it to start moving. Kaori, Kiari, and Manny sat in one row and Craig, Jimmy, and Spinner sat behind them.

"Those girls are hot!" Spinner whispered. He was right, Kiari, Kaori, and Manny were wearing matching leather skirts. Manny's top was yellow, Kaori's blue, and Kiari's hot pink. A lot of cleavage spilled out the top but the boys loved it.

"Can't wait to see what goes down in NYC!" Jimmy said. Then the boys all shouted.

"WHAT HAPPENS IN NEW YORK! STAYS IN NEW YORK!" …Or so they thought.

That's the end of part one! You like? Send me your ideas, thoughts, or suggestions. I'm open to anything. You can even say if I should make the story better! Kaori says e-mail her!!
