Nunca en mi vida (Never in My Life)
Summary: Clare Edwards always knew that she was different from her family. There was no explaining where she got her blue eyes from, nor her porcelain complexion. That is until Fiona and Declan Coyne come to her school. Is there a secret concerning both the Coyne family and Clare?
Prologue:
Clare Edwards hurried into the school, long, curly hair floating behind her like a banner. She couldn't believe that she was late! She was never late! With an irritated growl she ran to her locker. Paying no mind to where she was going, she ran smack dab into someone. Two strong yet delicate hands shot out to grab her arms gently before she could fall to the ground and she looked up slightly to meet the eyes of the most etheral and glamorous looking girl she'd ever seen. The girl had curly, medium brown hair and beautiful blue eyes. She wore a pair of black leggings, stylish boots, and a very pretty, pale yellow dress that seemed to bring out all her perfections. A diamond tennis bracelet dangled from her wrist and diamond studs were in her ears.
"I am so sorry!" Clare apologized with a shake of her head, feeling her embarrassement overwhelm her.
The girl laughed softly and shook her head, eyes sparkling as she gave a flawless smile. "Don't worry about it! I'm Fiona Coyne." She told her carefully, holding out a hand for Clare to shake.
Clare smiled gratefully and took Fiona's offered hand. "Clare Edwards."
Suddenly, a tall, good-looking boy sauntered over to the girls. He had brown hair and blue eyes under thick eyebrows. He wore a sweater vest with a white shirt underneath and tight fitting jeans. In other words, he was a preppy guy. "Fiona! Are you okay?" He asked worriedly, reaching a hand out to rest on the girl in question's shoulder.
Fiona rolled her eyes good naturedly at the boy and let out a soft laugh. "I'm fine Declan! You worry way too much!"
"Yeah, and you are too excited to be in this school." Declan told her as he shook his head with a sigh. "No use getting used to this school or making friends when we'll be out of here in maybe about a month."
Clare watched the two with great interest. The two intrigued her greatly and she had no idea why.
"Well I am going to enjoy it!" Fiona told him, poking him in the chest with one slender, manicured finger. She turned back to Clare. "This is my twin brother, She said pointing at the boy slightly behind her. "Declan Coyne. Declan, this is Clare Edwards."
Declan smirked and took a step torward her. "Pleasure to meet you." He said with a chuckle, taking her small hand in his.
"You too." Clare stated, staring at him. Why did he and Fiona seem so familiar to her when she'd just met them? "I um...I gotta get to class so....bye! Oh and welcome to Degrassi!" She blurted out as she turned on her heel and ran torwards her Homeroom .
"Well that was interesting. " Fiona commented observingly.
Clare took her seat beside Alli carefully.
"God Clare! You're late, the bell will ring any second now!" Her best friend hissed under her breath.
Clare nodded, mind on other things even as she raised her hand during attendance. What was it about those Coyne twins that was troubling her so?
