Chapter 1

Clare's POV

Ms. Dawes hand both Eli and I a note to go to the office. I thought we had been through everything that happened at Vegas Night enough. It was really starting to annoy me, I mean really how many times could we give our accounts.

We show our slips to Doris the schools secretary, and she points us to the student council room. We both slip in and take seats beside each other. Eli gives me a smirk, and pulls a book from his backpack and starts reading. I think he can tell by my demeanor that I'm quite ticked off being here. I decided to follow suit and take out my homework from chemistry, that way I can keep my mind busy.

The door opened, I looked up and expect to see Mr. Simpson, but see Holly J. and Anya. They both seemed a bit confused, but smiled and took seats across the table from Eli and I.

A few more moments passed, and more people started entered and joined us at the table. Jenna, Ali, K.C., and Sav all came in one right after the other. The silence was killing me, no one spoke and everyone seemed as confused about why we were all here. At fist I thought it may be due to the events of Vegas night, but neither Anya or K.C. were there. The door opened and it was Drew, he took the seat furthest from Ali since they were still not on speaking terms.

"Anyone know why were all here?" Drew questions. Ali rolls her eyes, while the rest of the group just nods their head no.

Everyone found something to keep their minds busy while we waited. Drew was humming some song, Ali was getting very annoyed at his mear presents, I figured the humming would cause her to completely flip out. She looks at me and Jenna and we both shrug our shoulders, letting her know that we didn't know what to do to get him to stop.

Eli being the instigator he is starts to tap his pen on the table to the rhythm of Sav follow Eli's lead and starts playing air guitar… Ali snaps at that very moment. "Why are you all so annoying! And you my own brother teaming up with that creation! Ugh!" she shrieks while standing up starting to pace the floor.

Everyone else has a bright red face, and stifles their laughter as Ali rants to herself. Adam is next to come in the door taking a seat next to Drew. He pulls out his ipod, put his ear buds in and starts tapping his pencil on the table to the beat. Everyone's about to erupt in laughter, as Adam is completely clueless to what had went on a few moments earlier. Ali walks over pulls the pencil from Adams hands and breaks it in half, throwing it at him with full force. We can no longer hold in are laughter, the whole room is filled with giggles. Adam's wide eyed look to everyone as is the best part of the day so far.

20 minutes have now passed, the room is still fairly quiet. Ali is still pacing and mumbling to herself. I've finished my chemistry and go on to my writing project. I can see Mr. Simpson when I look up and out the window of the student council room. He talking with a dark haired lady that can't be too much older than Darcy. He looks at his clip board then turns slightly, it looks like he's counting the students in the room. He looks back at the clip board then walks into his office. Next across the loud speaker we hear, "Bianca DeSousa, and Owen Milligan please report to the office. Bianca DeSousa, Owen Milligan."

"Great, two more people I can't stand !" Ali grumbles. "You know not everything is about you." Eli remarks. "Ahh can you be any more annoying! " Ali screeches. "As you wish! " Eli retorts. Sav and Drew stifle in a laugh while Anya and Holly J. turn bright red in the face again. "I'm out of here it's been 45 minutes." Ali crys grabbing her backpack and heading for the door.

Before she can reach the door, she's meet by Mr. Simpson. "Ali, while don't you take a seat." he tells her, she grumbles and goes back to her seat beside Jenna. "I'm sorry, you all having been waiting so long. We have two more students joing us. They had testing and will be here momentarily. I appreciate your patience." he tells us all, and walks back out and continues to talk to the dark haired lady.

Bianca and Owen walk in. Bianca spots Ali, she turns to give Owen a smile. She takes a seat next to Drew, leans over and whispers something in his ear causing Drew to blush slightly. Owen takes a seat at the end of the table, nods his head towards Ali and says, "nice to see you again Boiler room Bhandari." as she slams her head on the table in defeat.

"Welcome students! " Mr. Simpson says walking through the door with the dark haired lady, and continues to speak. "I'm sure you're all wondering why you're all here, and we'll get to that. First let me introduce you to Ms. Jada Runningtree. Ms. Runningtree runs a retreat for children who have been in trouble or are at risk of expulsion. " we all mone, and I'm about to question why I'm even here, but before I can release my opinion Simpson interrupts me.

"Calm down! Calm down! I know some of you think you shouldn't even be in this room, but you've all had your own issues this school year, some more severe than others. The superintendent has made this a mandatory pilot program for Degrassi in light of recent events. Each one of your parents or guardians have signed off on this. You will all meet at school tomorrow morning at 7AM, bags packed and ready to leave for Camp Dream Catcher for 7 days." he tells us, passing out a list of what we need for camp.

We all groan as we take the paper and head out just as the bell rings telling us school is over. Adam and I follow Eli out to his car. Holly J., Anya and Sav head one way, Bianca, Owen, and Drew the other. K.C. took off by himself, and Jenna and Ali lingered around the lockers.

We drop Adam off first, he begs us to come in knowing Audra will be furious about both her boys being considered "at risk". I know I need to get home because Helen will be just as mad. I remember after Darcy's rape she went to a camp sort of like this, and mom was so ashamed for our family. I knew tonight's dinner would be difficult.

"You want me to go in with you?" Eli asks. "No, I need to do this alone. It's probably better they don't know you're going too. You know with you being a bad influence and I all." I tease him. "You kill me Edwards, maybe you're a bad influence on me." he jokes and gives me a quick kiss before I head into the house.

"Mom, I'm home!" I shout as I shut the door behind me. The house is silent. I walk in the kitchen to see a note.

Dear Clare,

After your principal called today, I couldn't handle anymore stress, and shame brought on this family. After Darcy's incidents, your father leaving us, and now this. I've decided to go on a Christian singles retreat. I don't want either of us to say or do anything hurtful. Maybe a week for us both to reflect and relax is what we both need. We can hopefully be a better family with this break. I did up your laundry, and have purchased new toiletries, they're already packed in your suitcase on your bed. I left you money on your desk in case I forgot to purchase anything. I hope you have a wonderful time, I will miss you terribly.

Love,

Mom

Great! I think to myself heading to the fridge for a drink. Leaving to go on a singles retreat is bringing us closer together, ugh really. It wouldn't surprise me if she sends me to Africa like she did Darcy. I don't understand this family!

I go up to my room, check my list of things that I needed, and start packing. After I finish I fix a salad, and sit down to watch a movie. About halfway in Eli calls. I tell him about the note Helen left, and he tells me he'll pick me up in the morning. I shower and go to bed.

Owen's POV

It's 6AM I'm sitting at the breakfast table getting lectured by my parents. "Can't you get me out of this dad?" I plead.

"Owen, I've saved your ass already this year! You're lucky you didn't get expelled or sent away to juvenile detention for throwing that boy into the window. Just because I'm a lawyer doesn't mean I can get you out of trouble every time. It's time you became a man and took your punishment. Now I'm done talking about it." dad rants. I roll my eyes, and grab more bacon from the table.

"What did you even do this time? " my little brother asks. "I don't know, this is probably just because I've been in trouble this year. Hell Anya is going and I'm not sure she's ever been in trouble." I say.

"Who's Anya?" mom questions. "Just a girl." I respond. "Just a girl he talks about in his sleep… oh, Anya your so beautiful." Tris taunts. I punch him in the arm, and dad gives me a death stare. "Your bags all packed, honey we'll miss you so much." mom says kissing my cheek. "Come on Owen I'll drop you off on my way to work." dad says grabbing his keys abd briefcase. I grab my duffel bag and head out behind him.

I arrive at Degrassi, Bianca is sitting on the steps fileing her nails. She has her feet propped up on her duffel bag looking like she doesn't have a care in the world. I toss my bag on the steps and take a seat beside her, as we wait for the others to arrive. "Do you think Drew will like this?" Bianca questions unzipping her jacket to reveal a lacey, transparent shirt that looks like lingerie. "If he doesn't he's definitely gay." I tell her. "Good, because I'm doing everything in my power to keep Bhandari away from him." she says smiling with vindictiveness .

A car pulls up and I see it's Anya, I can't help, but stare. She's so beautiful, and sweet. She isn't uppity like Holly J, she has this bashfulness about her, she doesn't flaunt her beauty like Ali and Bianca do. She doesn't know just how amazing she truly is. "Stalker!" Bianca says punching me in arm. "No, just still half asleep." I snap. "No… you like her don't you? You like Anya… my little man has his first crush." Bianca teases. I get up and move away from her, I'm not in the mood for her teasing so early in the morning.

Everyone else starts arriving, one by one. Mr. Simpson comes out the front doors, and picks up his clip board counting heads and checking off names. Moments later a rusty old bus that had been painted orange pulls up. Painted on the side it says Camp Dream Catcher in green letters. Ms. Runningtree gets out of the drivers seat and talks with Simpson for a few moments. He hands her his clip board and several file folders and tells us all to line up to board the bus.

We all get in Bianca goes all the way to the back and calls for Drew to join her. Clare, Eli take a seat in the front with Adam sitting in the seat directly across from them. Ali and Jenna sit in the middle so she can keep an eye on Drew and Bianca. Holly J, Anya, Sav, and K.C. file in around the middle. I follow suit, sitting a few seats back and across the aisle from Anya. If I had to be there I might as well enjoy the view.

Mr. Simpson boards the bus telling us is expectations on how we should behave, he gives us a long speech about how if we take this seriously we will all come back better people, and leaders for our school… blah, blah, blah.

Ms. Runningtree starts the bus after Simpson exits. She hasn't said a word, and pulls out of the parking lot. We drive for maybe 30 minutes, the bus is fairly silent. I don't know if everyone is just tired, or they feel as awkward as I do about going. We really have no idea on what to expect or what will go on while were there. It seemed Simpson and our parents were unsure as well.

After 15 more minutes we pull up and park. I see several log building, they all look like they'd seen better days. Not much grass, but dirt paths, there was a huge fire pit with log chairs in the center, everything was covered in a dusty film, it had an eerie presents like an abandoned town in a horror flick. Right next to the largest of the log buildings stood a dream catcher it was probably 6ft by 6ft. It looked to be well taken care of, the only thing that looked to be taken care of. The closer we got I could see papers like notes sliped into the dream catcher, it had offerings of sorts surrounding the bottom. Flowers, candles, and other various gifts left out like an offering to the gods.

Ms. Raintree parks the bus and tells us to grap our bags and join her by the fire pit. We all grab our duffels and start moving towards the fire pit. K.C. was way a head, and Jenna seemed to be struggling trying to carry her stuff. I knew he wasn't happy with her pregnancy, but having her carry everything was just plain rude. "Here let me help." I say taking her bag and putting the strap over my shoulder. "Thank you." she replies earning me a death glare from K.C.

Everyone took a seat, I sat Jenna's bag beside her and found a place to sit. As I walked by Anya, she grasps my arm, "that was really sweet of you Owen." she says. I give her a smile and take a seat next to her. Maybe this good guy stuff , is turn on for her. Wonder what else I can do to score points, I wonder.

Ms. Runningtree walks towards the fire pit, she sprinkles something from a small leather pouch on the logs and strikes a match. Enormous purple flames erupt and she bows her head at the fire. "Now, I have you all paired up, this week you will work in teams of two to complete all of your tasks. Each team will be assigned a cabin after you are paired please find your cabin and pack and meet at the great hall for a meal in one hour. There you will be also getting your tasks for the week. You will do this as a team. I will be supervising from a far, along with mother earth, and the great spirit. For the most part you have free range, follow the rules, and complete tasks and will be greatly rewarded. Now cabin 1 is Sav and Clare , cabin 2 is Drew and Jenna, cabin 3 K.C. and Holly J., cabin 4 Ali and Adam, cabin 5 Eli and Bianca, cabin 6 Owen and Anya. Meet back in one hour." she says

I'm smiling inside that I'm paired with Anya. I offer her a hand up, and she graciously takes it. I turn to Jenna to offer her help with her bag, but Drew already has it. Anya and I walk to cabin 6 it's the closest to the small lake. I open the door for Anya and she goes in, it's small two beds each on opposite walls, each with a table, lantern, and small dresser . Anya looks around and smiles, "choose your spot." she tells me. I hold back the urge to say "on top of you.", but walk over and see the lake from the window on the right side of the room. "Here you take this one, it has a nice view." I tell her pointing out the lake. She smiles and starts unpacking.
