A 17 year old girl with a bruised face and hurt eyes walked into Jane's house followed by Jane's mother,it was an odd sight and today was going to be an odd day and this entire year was going to be just plain weird.
The girl was Anna,Jane and Lucas's cousin from the next town over and she was going to be staying with them for the rest of the school year,to sum it all up she was going to be there for the next eight months whether they liked it or not,but luckily for Anna she had always gotten along with her older cousins and she was glad that she would get to spend time with Lucas's daughter Isabella.
On the outside she looked like a nice girl who could have possibly been hurt in a car accident which would have explained the bruises,most people wouldn't think that anything bad could happen to a girl as beautiful as she was.
But on the inside she knew that she was just like everybody else,that beauty doesn't stop you from getting hurt,and that if it could have been a car accident that had done this to her she would have been grateful,but she had a dark secret that she intended on keeping to herself,Jane 's mom knew because she had talked to Anna's mom about Anna coming to stay with them in Degrassi.
The other thing Jane's mom knew was that Anna's mother was part of the reason why she had been hurt in the first place.
She was nervous about what might happen in Degrassi,but she was scared of what would have happened if she had stayed with her mother.
At least one good thing could come from this,Johnny Dimarco,he and Anna had been crushing on each other for years and everytime Anna came to visit for Christmas they always flirted with each other and now that they would finally be in the same town together for more than a few days,Anna was excited about what the future might hold for them.
If she survives the night of lying awake thinking about everything that has happened to her without trying to commit suicide then surely she can make it through the next eight months here.
