Chapter one: Coming Home
Sean stood in front of the degrassi building. He was thinking about old memories and when he first stepped foot into this school. He sighed and walked up the steps. He was in 11th grade now, and he was determinded to make everything right, and do what he has to do for himself. He especially wants to make things right with Ellie. He feels terrible for leaving her by herself. He walked to the main office to get a late slip. The lady greeted Sean with a smile
"Welcome back Sean, but you do know you get two more late slips. You're going to detention." she said joking around
"Don't worry mam. It wont happen again."Sean said as he walked to his homeroom.
Sean stared down at his schedule and couldn't believe his eyes. He had grade 10 math and grade 11 math put together. Not only that he also has grade 9 english again. Sean couldn't believe he had to make up those two classes. He thought to himself "this year I'm making everything right."His first class of the day was Media Immersion. Sean opened the door to his homeroom classroom. Everyone was silent and was shocked to see him.
"Wow. Sean Cameron. Welcome back!" Mr. Simpson said greeting him.
"Thanks Mr.Simpson." Sean said.
Manny was sitting in the back row with Jt. She couldn't believe he had come back. Emma would be so excited she thought. Jt was messing with her hair while she thought that. He had put small pieces of paper all over it.
"Jt! Stop being so imature." Manny said hitting him and trying to get all the papers out of her hair.
Jt laughed and Mr. Simpson yelled. Sean thought "Yep. Everything is back to normal". He smiled to himself a bit. He missed this school alot.
The period ended and it was time for everyone to pick out a locker. Sean started walking down the hallway and he thought a girl that looked just like Ellie turned to corner. Sean darted down the hallway, pushing people out of his way. He reached the corner to find her at her locker trying to figure out her combination. Sean started to walk up to her slowly.
Ellie thought she had seen Sean from the corner of her eye. As the figure came closer she turned her head and realized it was Sean. He had seemed really nervous. Ellie just rolled her eyes and continued with her combination.
"Hey El...How have you been?" Sean asked
"I'm just great Sean. Just fucking great." Ellie said finally opening up her locker
"El. Please. I'm sorry for leaving you alone. By yourself in that apartment. To pay bills by yourself. I just wanna make things right again. I feel terrible." Sean
"You could've atleast called Sean." Ellie said closing her locker, "You could've sent money to pay bills atleast. I had to move back in with my mother because I couldn't afford it anymore Sean. I understand you wanted to be with your parents but...you could've done something to help out your girlfriend at the time." Ellie said.
She stared at Sean who looked pretty upset. Then she turned around, walked away, and headed towards her second period class. Sean was angry. So angry he could kill someone. He punched her locker so hard it left a little dent in the metal. Everyone looked up at Sean. Sean gave everyone a mean look. He felt as if a Demon had come out of him. Sean headed to his Second Period class.
He couldn't pay attention at all that day. Throughtout all his periods he thought about what Ellie had said. It made him angry because all he wants to do is make things right between them and she doesn't. Sean cares for Ellie like no one could ever imagine. He sat down in his last period class and thought "What a great way to start off the school year. Welcome home."
