Chapter One

Angela Jeremiah wrinkled her nose in disgust as she stared at herself in the mirror. The Degrassi uniforms were awful! The khaki skirts didn't have any shape to them and the polo shirts reminded her of something a golfer would wear. Sighing, she tucked the red shirt into her pants before pulling her thick, dark hair into a messy ponytail.

After being gone from her hometown for a few years, she and her father had finally moved back. A decision that Angela hadn't been too thrilled with. It seemed everytime she entered a new school, people were always trying to be her friend because of who her brother was. Don't get her wrong, she loved Craig. He'd made a bunch of mistakes in his life and bad things had happened to him, but he was still the brother who sat in her bed and read her stories when she was young. She didn't like being used by people trying to get closer to him, though.

"Ang! Are you ready for school?" Joey asked, walking into his daughter's small bedroom.

She turned to look at him, frowning at him. "Not really." She answered in annoyance.

"Oh, come on! It will be fun. You know Snake and his godson, Connor." Joey replied.

"Great." She said sarcastically, rolling her dark brown eyes."I know the principal and a total nerd. I should totally feel excited."

He sighed, knowing there was no use arguing with her, and nodded his head torwards the doorway. "Well,come on. You don't want to be late for your first day."

Angela grabbed her backpack from the floorboard, and swung it over her shoulder. Stepping out of the car, she rolled her eyes in annoyance when she saw her father's best friend, Snake walking torward them. She began to eye the other students boredly. She raised her eyebrows in interest when her gaze landed on a rather attractive guy, laughing as he got out of an orange car. Two other people climbed out as well, and three people didn't seem to care whether or not, they would make it to their classes on time. She continued to watch him as he walked torwards the steps of the school with his friends. She flushed darkly when he turned his head and their eyes locked. He gave her a knowing smirk as he headed into the school. Trying to take her mind off of the mysterious boy, she shook her head and began to listen to what Snake-Mr. Simpson, was telling her father.

"So, I've got someone who's going to show Angela around the school, and take her to her classes." Simpson said.

Joey nodded his head and, ruffled his daughter's hair, before giving Simpson a manly hug. "I should be going now." He told the man, before turning to his teenage daughter and saying in a warning tone, "Please don't get in any trouble, Angela. We can't have you getting expelled on the very first day." With that, he turned to walk away, torwards his car.

Angela let out a growl and stamped her foot, glaring at his disappearing back. She whirled around to face Simpson and turned her glare on him, this time. "Can we please get this over with?" She asked, before she brushed past him, not saying another word.

He stared after her, wondering sadly where the little girl that he'd once known, had gone to. Of course, Joey had told him she was a bit-difficult, but he certainly wasn't expecting this.

Clare Edwards was sitting crosslegged in the main office, waiting patiently for Principal Simpson to return. She was supposed to show some girl, named Angela Jeremiah around the school. She looked at the clock on the wall and sighed, hoping that she wasn't going to be late for her first class, just then, the door to the office opened and Simpson walked in with a tall, slender girl following just behind him. Smiling politely, Clare stood up, brushing down her skirt before walking torwards them and holding her hand out to the other girl. "Hi, you must be Angela, I'm Clare Edwards."

Angela smiled and shook hands with her before turning her attention to Mr. Simpson who handed her her schedule.

"Come on, let's head to your first class." Clare said, walking torwards the door and waiting for the other girl to follow her.

The two girls walked out, pouring over Angela's schedule. :"So what made you move here, anyway?" Clare asked curiously, cocking her head at the other girl.

"This is my hometown. My dad missed it, so when he got offered a job here, he came back. He's best friends with Mr. Simpson." The dark haired girl replied, just as they stopped infront of the gymnasium.

Clare nodded in understanding, blue eyes friendly as she handed Angela back her schedule. "So here's your first period class. I've got to get to English. I'll meet you outside here to show you to your next class." She said before waving and hurrying down the hall.

Angela laughed as she looked down at her schedule, walking into the gym. She was so absorbed in what she was doing that she ran into a hard body. She let out a gasp as a hand grabbed her arm to keep her from falling. Looking up, her eyes locked with a pair of blue ones. Her eyes widened and she blushed just as she realised who this person was. It was the guy that she'd been eyeing earlier right outside of the school.

Next Chapter: Fitz and Angela officially meet. Angela has lunch with Clare, Adam, and Eli and asks them about Fitz.
