Ok everyone, I hope you like this fan fic. I'll start by saying I don't own Degrassi or anything but I own Halley Mackenzie and her family. I really hope you guys like it. This will probably be a Salley (Sean And Halley) I'm sorry but I'm not real good at the whole past tense and present tense thing so if you notice a change between the two, just ignore it.

Why couldn't I have had a normal life? A Mom and Dad who actually loved me and actually wanted me. Parents who worked hard at their jobs and took care of me at the same time. Yeah well you can't always get what you want now can you? Nope, not for me. I got a Mom and Step-Dad who love to get drunk and pass out, did I mention abuse their daughter? Then I have a Dad who disappeared out of my life on the day of my birth, leaving my Mom and me in a lonely apartment with no help from my grandparents or anyone else in my family. They are assholes. Everyone in my life is. Family, most friends, strangers that I don't even know are. A great life I have. Sorry I tend to rant a lot about my life because it's just so great to talk about. Continuing on about my problems. I cut, yes I cut. Thank you so much family and friends! I live with the Simpson/Nelson's now, which means I cut less often, which is a good thing. I have been living in Toronto for about a year. I am friends with mostly everyone at school, which is most surprising to me. Emma is my best friend of course, well that's because for one I live with her and two she's just an awesome person I guess. Ok I'm done with this whole thing, I'll start the story.

I sat at the kitchen table eating an omelet Snake had prepared for me. He was a great cook I guess. Better then anything I've ever eaten. I picked at it, eating the mushrooms first. Snake puts extra mushrooms in it just for me. Spike came down with Jack on her hip. She sat him in his high chair and began to prepare his breakfast. Emma came up from the basement, looking great as usual. I hated her for that.

"Hurry up and eat Em, you two are going to be late." Spike said over her shoulder.

Em grabbed a fork and began to eat off my omelet. I growled quietly at her like a dog, she only laughed and continued to eat my omelet. I got up from the table and let Em eat the rest of it. I went downstairs and looked in the full length mirror on the closet door. My long brown hair was straightened, gray tank top and black hooded zip up sweatshirt, faded jeans and converse. I looked over myself again before grabbing my black messenger bag. I headed back upstairs, just in time to hear a car honk.

"That's Craig." I stated heading for the door with Em behind me.

We both exited without saying anything else to Spike or Snake. We half ran to Craig's car. Em crawled in to back seat while I sat shot gun. Over the time I've been here Craig has been like an older brother I never had.

"Took you two long enough." Craig said pulling from the curb.

"You were only out here for three minutes." Em said from the back seat.

"Yeah don't have a cow!" I said with a giggle.

"Ha ha, very funny, we still need to go pick up Manny." Craig said looking at me.

I rolled my eyes. Let's just say me and Manny have had our fights, but all in all she's ok I guess. Craig was dating her so I had to be nice. We arrived at Manny's apartment building. She came running out and came up to my window, which was open.

"I get shot gun remember?" She chirped sweetly.

I rolled my head over to look at Craig who only looked at me and shrugged. I then looked at Manny and smiled sarcastically, which she took as a real smile.

"Nope, I don't really remember of what you speak of." I said half-heartedly. "But maybe tomorrow I'll remember."

Her smile faded into a look of disgust. Emma giggled in the back seat. Since I came here Em hasn't really been a real big fan of Manny either, I just can't understand why. Craig got out and pushed up his seat so Manny could get in. We drove to Degrassi in silence, which usually happened when Manny got in the car. When we got there Craig pulled into a free parking space. We all got out, Em and Manny went ahead while Craig and I took our time walking behind.

"Do you have to be a bitch towards her?" Craig asked.

"Who Manny?" I asked sarcastically.

Craig gave me a stern look.

"She just bothers me, her and her little quirky personality."

"If you got to know her—."

"Don't give me that shit Craig, I have gotten to know her, I still think she's a little bitchy slut."

Craig looked at me sternly again. I hated when he did that.

"I'm sorry that was a little harsh, maybe I'll make her just a bitch." I said with a slight smile.

Craig shook his head. "It's a good thing you're my friend or I would have slapped you already."

"Ha Ha, your so hilarious."

"That's what people tell me." Craig said winking at me.

I rolled my eyes as we walked into the school building. I followed Craig down to our lockers, which were next to each other, don't you just love going in alphabetical order? Emma was a few lockers down from mine. Ellie came up to her locker.

"Miss Nash where were you last night?" I asked. "I tried calling you."

"Swamped with more homework, besides my Mom took my cell away because I'm failing Algebra two."

"It seems that Mr. Manning will have to tutor you." Craig said shutting his locker.

"You're going to tutor me?" Ellie asked raising an eye brow.

"I happen to be passing that class thank you!" Craig said. "Jeeze I don't get the credit I should!

Ellie smiled. "Ok Manning, my house after school, bring the books."

Ellie shut her locker and walked down the hallway. Emma shut her locker and came up to me.

"It seems your going to be busy after school." Em stated to Craig.

"I guess so, tutoring Ellie."

"Yeah well did you forget what today is?"

Craig thought for a second, trying to think.

"You and Manny, starts with an 'a'." Em hinted.

"Anniversary? Our anniversary! It's been six months!"

"Wow, half a year already, how surprising." I stated.

Em elbowed me in the arm.

"Oh shit! I didn't get her anything! Oh shit, oh shit!" Craig began to rant nervously.

"You need to cancel on Ellie." Em stated.

"No, I'll make this work! I'll go to Ellie's after school, teach her some math, then I'll pick up some flowers and chocolate and swing by Manny's after that."

"What's Miss Bitch going to say about this plan?" I asked folding me arms bracing myself for Em to elbow me again.

Craig brought his hand to his chin and began to think.

"I'll come up with something."

"So you're going to lie?" Em asked.

"No not exactly, I'll just cut out the Ellie part." He said a matter of factly.

"Good luck with that." I said with a smile. "But we got to get to class Em."

Em and I walked to Media Immersion. We entered the room and took our seats.

"Another boring day in Media Immersion." I stated logging onto my computer.

"Don't let Snake hear you say that."

I smirked.

Snake came into the room as the bell rang.

"Morning everyone! Please keep it down I have a terrible headache."

I looked at Em who shrugged. Then the door opened. Miss Hasilokos came in.

"Archie, we have a student back at Degrassi."

Snake looks towards the door. Miss Hasilokos lets a guy with short dirty blonde hair came in, he wore a beater and baggy jeans.

"Welcome back Sean." Snake said with a smile.

Everyone stared in amusement to see a student that's name seemed familiar but didn't come to mind. I've heard it before but I couldn't figure it out of where I have heard it. I patted Em on the arm. She looked at me.

"Who's that?" I asked in a whisper.

"That's Sean Cameron, my ex boyfriend and the one that saved my life in the shooting."

I looked at Sean, who was already looking at me from across the room.
