Maya's POV:
I didn't know that my life would be so different then what I'm used to. I went to Degrassi community school and used to play cello at school for my band, Whisperhug. The first day I attended Degrassi I met my current boyfriend, Zig Novak, after my first boyfriend died. Cam and I met three and a half months before he died at the school's greenhouse. Cam was a hockey player, but he hated Hockey. He and Zig were friends, but after Zig's feelings for me got stronger, Cam got angry and believed that Zig was trying to break us up. I'm just lucky that Cam is alright. I saved him...but I'll explain that later. If you told me a few months ago that my life would be filled with more drama then Degrassi could ever have, then I would just laugh. I didn't think my life would turn out this way, but let me tell you where it started.

4 months earlier: Maya's POV:
Cam and I were walking up the steps to Degrassi the next day. "Matlin, have you seen those kids before?" I heard Grace asked as Cam and I approached her before I looked at the kids in the direction she was looking at.

There were 5 of them. A girl with blond hair was in the center of the group. Her blue eyes looked at me determined and curious. The male on her right had dark brown hair with blue-grey eyes with a hint of brown. The male to her left had sandy blond hair and blue eyes. The girl-that was next to the dark brown haired boy-had black hair, hazel-green eyes and looked slightly intimidating, like she could easily get what she wanted just by her looks. The last girl had brown hair and almond brown eyes. Actually now that I think about it, all of them seemed slightly intimidating. The blond girl was talking to the blond male which made the girl with black hair and hazel green eyes look jealous.

They were all different from everyone else at Degrassi. I turned back to Grace and said, "No. I've never seen them before, but the boy with blond hair looks hot as hell." I muttered under my breath to which Cam looked at me, raising an eyebrow. "Sorry, Cam. You know that you're the only one for me." He smiled. "Much better." he said before he leaned in and kissed me. Zig didn't look happy after Cam and I pulled away.

"Why would people like them want to attend Degrassi? This place has drama around every corner." Grace asked, as I replied. "I have a feeling that this school with be filled with more drama than it can handle." I said as the blond haired girl approached us. "Hi. I'm Cassie Blake." She smiled while I looked at the others in the group. The black haired girl smiled in a way that gave me chills. Cassie turned to where I was looking and said, "Don't worry about Faye. She's harmless. That's Adam," she looked at the boy with brown hair. "The boy I was talking to was Jake. Next to him is Melissa. My sister, Diana would be here with us, but she's travelling with her boyfriend. We all moved here from Washington." I smiled. "That's cool."

Cassie showed me her schedule and we had the same classes together. "Cassie, you're in all of my classes." She smiled, "Jake and the others are in every other class with me, so at least I'll have some new friends here." I noticed that Jake was looking at Cassie a lot. "Hey, I have an idea. How about I show you around after school and we can hang out. My boyfriend has hockey practice after school so I'm free to hangout." Cassie's smile brightened. "Sure."

I looked at the others. "I'm sorry. This is Cam, my boyfriend; Zig my bandmate; Tori one of my best friends, along with Tristan, Grace, Tiny, and Jonah." Cassie nodded. "Ok." I looked at Faye, who was still giving me the creeps, by smiling at me before the bell rang. Cassie and I went to class together. "So, how long have you and Cam been dating?" She asked, and I could tell that she wasn't interested in gossip, just out of curiosity. "A few months." She nodded before she told me a little bit about her life: Her mom died in a house fire recently; her grandmother died shortly before her dad. She went to Chance Harbor High school in Chance Harbor, Washington before she transferred here.

I knew that Cassie and I would be great friends. The lesson went on and on about math. It was boring. I would rather be in English right now.
I could tell that Cassie was just as bored, even though she was still taking notes. Finally the bell rang and I walked out the door. Cassie was behind me.

"Hey, Cassie? Maybe we could hangout at my house after school." She nodded. "I would love that." I told her that Cam and Zig would be over at the house as well, after Cam's hockey practice of course.

Now we were at lunch. Zig, Tori, Tristan, Cam, Jonah, Grace, Tiny and Cassie's friends were all at one table. "So what was it like in Chance Harbor?" Cassie smiled, but I could tell that her eyes were sad.

"It was great, for the most part. I've never actually lived in Chance Harbor-or visited-because my mom kind of distanced herself after she moved. She never really talked about her life there. After I moved there, everything sort of changed." Cassie said as Adam, Jake, Melissa and Faye looked at her. "I was a loner before I moved to Washington, so I never really attended dances, had a social life or anything. I just kind of stayed to myself." She said, as I nodded.

"What about Diana? How is she?"

"She's doing good-as far as I know-but I haven't really talked to her since she left town. She's actually my half sister, so I knew why she left because it was confusing for her. I'm sure she'll come back soon though. She can't stay away from us for long." Her eyes told me that there was some hidden meaning behind why Diana left, but I let it go.

"So what exactly is degrassi like?" I shrugged. "Pretty normal except there's always drama. This school can't catch a break." I said as Katie, my sister, and Bianca were arguing in the corner. "Well it least it can't get worse then that." Adam said as he looked at us. "Oh. You haven't been here long enough to see everything. Gangs, suicides, fights," I listed. "The list goes on and on and on. It never ends. Every year something happens. One student who went here got stabbed at a party and another former student killed himself in one of the boy's bathrooms." I said and continued. "Once there was a school shooting, but that was a long time ago. Stuff like suicide, murder and shooting are rare, but fights, gangs, and problems at home are more common." Cassie nodded. "I'm sorry if I'm ruining it for you-I know that you wanted a fresh start, Cassie-but I just thought it would be better to be safe than sorry." I said, as she nodded.

"It's fine. In Chance Harbor there are some stuff like that, but not as bad." We ate our food and then went to class. Cam and I kissed as Cassie said, "you two are so cute together." I rolled my eyes. "I hear that every day."

Then the rest of the hockey team showed up. "Saunders, hockey practice after school. Don't forget." Dallas said, as he was the team captain.

I rolled my eyes. "Stupid hockey team." I muttered under my breath. "Hey! If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be dating you right now, so I don't think you need to complain." Cam teases as Zig rolled his eyes. "Come on you two." Cassie said, laughing.

"Leave them alone, Cassie. They are a cute couple." Faye said, as the others, minus Zig, nodded. A/N: the only reason why none of Cassie's friends have talked much is because they are just getting used to Maya and her friends. Don't worry. You'll hear Faye's Witty remarks soon. I promise.

Suddenly, something weird happened. I saw myself walking to the Greenhouse by the school. Everything looked normal. As I was about to go inside, I saw blood. Someone was on the ground, but I couldn't see who it was. I called 9-1-1 and then texted Zig to go to Simpson's office to tell him that he needed to get to the greenhouse.

I was scared. "Maya, are you okay?" Cam asked, as I started crying. "Maya, what happened?" Cassie asked as all of them was around me. Cam, Zig, Grace, Tiny, Jonah, Tori Tristan, Cassie, Jake, Adam, Faye and Melissa trying to figure out what happened, but I couldn't find my voice.

I couldn't breathe. I had to get out of there! I ran, not knowing exactly where I was going, finding myself at the greenhouse. No blood or anything weird. Thank God, but I started to get a bad feeling about this. Why did I see someone on the ground and blood on the floor in the greenhouse? Who was it? What happened? I had chills and they didn't go away. I went back into school, but I was still shaken up a little. What did that mean? This hasn't happened before?
