Hi Y'all!

Before I start, I wanna let you know that my story isn't basically going to follow the original storyline. I also have different ideas so it could still go all ways haha.

I do not own any of the characters.

Chapter 1

Dear Diary

-Clare's POV-

Dear Diary,

A new week has began. Mom and dad are still fighting. There won't be a day were they are not. That's why dad is out most of the time, isn't he? I'm supposed to trust in God, but somehow I feel seperated from him as I look at my crumbling family. Part of me doesn't want to admit that my family is falling apart, but on the other hand I know that something is coming. Something I don't wanna know. I still pray silently that my parents will make it through. That we all make it through. But I am scared.

With the weekend being over, it means that Monday is forcing me to go back to school.

I still hate Jenna for stealing KC. I thoughts she was my friend. But you know all abou that, don't you Diary? Alli is being a good friend, but lately she has her eyes put on popularity. And guess who is popular?

Little miss Perfect Jenna.

I'm scared that Alli will realize that Jenna is better than I am. Just like K.C. thinks. Which makes the feeling of being alone only worse.

After the whole boyfriend stealing event, I feel a bit lost. I know Jenna is prettier than I am. She is skinnier, more popular, has a bubbly personality and knows how to wrap someone around that little finger of hers. She's everything that I am not. When I look in the mirror I can't see anything that I like. The things I see are my chubby cheeks, my chubby body, my weird hair ,my-

"Clare! Hunny, you need to get going for school! You're already late!"I could hear my mother yell from downstairs. "Just a minute,Mom!" I told her, before focusing on my diary once more.

"My whole personality is weird. But hey, atleast I can try to fix my appearence." I closed the diary, and sighed deeply before laying it under my pillow as usual. For years I have been writing into diary's. It was my way of getting rid of my thoughts. It was something my sister has taught me.
I looked at the clock and grapped my bag quickly, making my way downstairs. "I'll be off. See you after school!" I said quickly, but was called back by my mother. "Clare! Atleast take something with you to eat!" she said to me, as she sat at the kitchen table. "I'm not hungry." I told her, but the look she gave me made me walk over her, grap a slice of bread and rolled my eyes slightly at her. "Good?" I asked her. "Good." she replied before I could walk out of the door.

Quickly I made my way to my bike and I hopped on, but before I went off, I threw my slice of bread into the the closest trashcan I could find.

'There.' I thought, with a small smile on my face and made my way over to Good Old Degrassi.

Luckily school wasn't that far off my house. As I put away my bike, I looked at the school and gently bit my lowerlip."Clare!" I could hear someone say and I looked up to see Alli making her way over her. "I still can't believe how different you look without your glasses." She told me with a smile on her face. "No one even recongized it, Alli. So I don't look that different." I rolled my eyes at her, before feeling her arm linked in mine. "Oh well, aslong as you like it." she said to me and I shurgged. "I guess it makes me look less than a freak." I said. "Stop it, Clare. You're acting like this ever since Jenna-" Before Alli could finish her sentence I stopped her. "Stole my boyfriend? The same Jenna you want to be best friends with now?" I said, crossing my arms. "I'm not wanting to be best friends with her. I wanna be in the power squad and mayde impress Drew."Alli said clearly and I swore I could see some annoyance in her face. "Fine. Can we go now? I'm already late for English, and Clare Edwards is never late." I said, smiling a bit before walking inside, heading towards my English class.
