Today was my first day at Degrassi, and for once I was nervous, most people were used to my hearse and all black since they knew about Julia's death… but since this is a new town they won't know what has happened to me, and I have heard Degrassi is very judgmental. I hopped into Morty and drove off to my first day in hell.
When I got to Degrassi I met Principal Simpson he quickly walked up to me and said "Elijah-" I quickly cut him off, "its Eli." I announced. "Eli, this is Clare Edwards, she will show to your classes and your locker." he told me. She was medium height she had sandy blonde hair that was short and curly. The thing that stuck out the most to me were her beautiful blue eyes, I smirked at how pretty she was. "Hi, Eli. We have English together." she said with a smile "hello Clare. And yes we do." I said with a smirk. "Well Eli, let me show you the classrooms." she said quietly. She showed me where my math, media immersion, English, and my other classes were, and ironically my locker was right next to hers. English was my first class of the day and I sat with Clare and a boy named Adam. The teacher made me introduce myself to the class which was always really shitty. "Hi my name is Eli and I want to make movies." I said as I quickly sat back down. She also stated that we have a paper due in two weeks and we need to partner up. Clare insisted that we be partners since Adam already had one. That class flew by along with math and history.
When the bell rang after third period I met up with Clare at our lockers, and went to lunch with her. We sat by Adam, he was reading an issue of "Gothic Tales" he seemed like a good guy. I walked to my Media Immersion class silently dreading it because I hate computer classes but it was required. A young quirky lady named Ms. Oh taught the class and she made us sit on exercise balls, this will be interesting.
When the bell rang for us to go home, I met up with Clare again and talked to her about coming by later to start on our project. I gave her my cell number so she could text when she was coming,I waved goodbye and I walked over to Morty. I noticed a couple of guys leaning on the fence in front of where Morty was parked. "Hey Emo Boy!" the tall one called out, great… my first day and I'm already being taunted… I gave him a short nod and hopped in Morty and drove away. I knew moving here wasn't a good idea…people don't understand me… Clare and Adam seem to not have a problem with me, but most people do.
I got home and threw Morty's keys in my pocket and walked inside "Hey Baby Boy, how was your day?" Cece asked, "alright…" I replied with slight discomfort in my voice. Then I left the room and walked down the hall to my room, and dialed the combination to the lock on my door. I didn't let many people in my room that's why I had a lock, since Julia's death I had become a hoarder, I am very ashamed of it, I wish sometimes that I was a normal person. I reached over and grabbed my AlexisOnFire cd put it in my stereo and blared, I then laid on my bed and drifted off to sleep.
I woke up to my phone vibrating, it was Clare calling to confirm that we were still brainstorming paper ideas this afternoon, I said yes and that she could come on over. She arrived about 20 minutes later and we sat in the kitchen writing ideas for hours and we couldn't figure any out. Her curfew was nine, so I drove her home since she walked. When I got to her house I walked her to the door. "Good night, Eli." she said quietly. "Good night, blue eyes." and I kissed her on the cheek.
