Chapter 1: A new beginning
It was the gang's last year at Degrassi, meaning Marco, Paige, Hazel, Jimmy, Spinner and Alex would all be leaving next year. Paige and Alex had dated before but broke it off a few weeks ago due to their differences. Right now they weren't exactly on the best speaking terms so they just basically avoided each other. It was another morning at Degrassi, school hadn't started yet so everyone was basically hanging out on the steps in front of the school. Marco and Alex were off to the side trying to avoid Paige and the rest of the group. Marco was like a gay mediator, he would try and help Paige and Alex to become friends again, but he knew it would take some time.
Just then a car pulled up to the school parking lot, it was a black Jaguar, it looked brand new, in fact, if it were any shinier, people probably wouldn't be able to look directly at it. The car caught everyone's attention; it wasn't everyday a sleek, new car pulled into the Degrassi parking lot. Sure, other kids had their own cars but none as nice as this one. Everyone couldn't help but stare at the car as they awaited the driver to step out of the car. Slowly but surely the car door opened and a leather high heeled boot touched the ground, then the other one, soon a full figured girl stepped out of the car. She wore tight jeans that hugged her just right, a gorgeous top that showed off her body and black aviator sunglasses covered her eyes. She had red-ish brown wavy hair that looked like it took hours to do. She bent into the back seat to pull out a shoulder strapped book bag that went perfectly with her outfit. It looked like she was in her early twenties, but she probably just looked old for her age. She closed the door to her car and looked at Degrassi, not even noticing all the people staring at her. She looked a little like Danneel Harris from One Tree Hill, she had natural beauty and more. Everyone kind of turned away instantly and started talking with each other, obviously talking about the new girl. Everyone turned away but two people, Paige Michalchuk and Alex Nunez. They were obviously interested in this beautiful girl who just looked like she stepped out of a fashion magazine. She stared back at the two girls making sure they noticed her and then casually walked up the steps and into the school. She was chewing gum, yet somehow made it look sext, She walked by Alex who was sitting on the ground and tipped her sunglasses to the end of her nose to get a better look at her and then pushed them back up and kept on walking, still just smacking her gum. Paige and Alex's eyes obviously followed her until she was out of site. After seeing the girl they looked back at each other realizing one another was checking the girl out.
"who was that?" a curious Paige asked anyone in her group.
"I don't know but she was hot!" Spinner said before Paige hit him in the gut.
"ow!" Spinner said making it obvious.
"Spin, don't degrade women like that!" Paige said
"oh don't give me that, I know you were looking at her too. Who better than the new girl to get over Alex." He said. Just then the bell rang signaling the students that they had 5 minutes to get to their classes.
"alright, let's go" Jimmy said as he started to turn around in his wheel chair. Everyone started to walk into the building but Paige couldn't help but think about the girl, she was so hot and Paige knew it.
While Paige was talking to her group Alex talked to Marco.
"who is she?" Alex asked Marco who was studying for a Science test he had that day.
"I don't know, so she must be new in school." He said not looking up from his science text book.
"fresh meat, perfect" Alex said. Then the bell rang forcing Alex and Marco to groan and go to class. Alex and Marco had the same Science class period one so they walked together. Alex looked for the new girl in the hallways but couldn't spot her. She's probably in the office getting registered she thought to her self and gave up her search.
"so are you ready for the test" Marco asked.
"yup" she replied
"wow, Alex Nunez is finally prepared for a class" Marco said bluntly
"shut up. I've actually been doing well in my classes for a few weeks."
"why the sudden change?" he asked
"while me and Paige were dating we would have study dates. Little did I know we would actually study. So now I'm just in that habit I guess." She said. 10 minutes into the test Alex finished and handed her test into the teacher for her to mark. The teacher was shocked to say none the less, she didn't expect anybody to be done for about 45 minutes. She was about to start marking as a telephone rang within the class, every class room had one, it was like the teacher's personal P.A. system with in the school.
"Room 208, Mrs. Jackson speaking" the science teacher said.
"alright sure, I'll uhh, I'll send Alex Nunez down" she said as she pointed to Alex and signaled her to come talk to her.
"yeah?" Alex said to her science teacher.
"Mrs. Hatzilakos needs someone down to give a student a tour of the school, and since you're the only one done I figured you could do it. You can get your homework assignment from Marco after class okay?" she asked
"okay sure." Alex said as she walked out the door. She didn't really want to give someone a tour of the school, but if it means she gets to cut class she might as well. Alex went back to her seat and grabbed her bag and walked out the door to the principal's office.
Alex walked into the office and saw the secretary. "Alex Nunez, I'm here to see the principal." She said
"have a seat please" the secretary said. Alex sat down in the seat and took out her iPod and turned on her music.
A few minutes later the principal opened her door "come in" the principal said.
"hi, so you wanted me to give someone a tour of the school?" Alex asked taking her headphones out and putting around her neck, but didn't actually turn the music off.
"yes, uh Alex Nunez this is Charlotte Barker" the principal said pointing to the girl in the chair in front of her desk. She got up and walked over to Alex and stuck her hand out for Alex to shake. Alex shook her hand but didn't say anything, it was the hot girl that she saw in the parking lot.
"Charlotte, nice to meet you" Alex said out of courtesy.
"you too. But please call me Charlie." she said cheerfully.
"okay well you two have the rest of the period to go see the school, after that I want you two back in class okay?" Mrs. Hatzilakos asked.
"alright sure." Alex said as she and the new girl walked out the door.
