A/N: First of all I just wanted to write okay people?

Degrassi is not mine. Though it would be cool if it did…but it's older than me…

The Forgotten Borough, that's what it's called. Also it's very small. Everyone has seen everyone at one point. Staten Island, New York that's setting right now. Let's meet are lovely characters, shall we?

The crisp autumn wind nipped at the girl's exposed skin. She was running late, again. The girl hopped over the many fences, passing people see knew, young and old. She made it to the downtown area, where she could see her friends, motioning for her to hurry up. Emily Abolt smiled towards her companions as she climbed onto the large coach bus.

Brennan George was sitting next to his girlfriend, Cassidy Smith. The two are nearly insurable. Across from them were Grace Edmonds and Michelle Oliver. Behind Michelle were Trevor Thompson and Kennedy Batticks, some of the best gamers in the state. Emily was sitting next to Jack Chen, a silent oriental. In front of them was Jaquan Van Dyke and Alice Ailey, the two were so smart that they didn't really need to speak. All the way in the back were Diamond James, Anna Sullivan and Mo Rona.

Do you know where there heading? If you haven't left in disgust, I'll give you a hint. It rhymes with 'Melgassi'…

Some rundown apartment complex

"This is where we're staying? I can't believe this…" scoffed Michelle as walked inside. She looked at who she had been partnered with. "NO. ." Emily smiled at her friend. She threw her hands into the air. "WE'RE ROOMIES!" Emily cheered trying to wrap around Michelle but failing terribly.

Grace shuffled her feet and sighed. She was roomed with Cassidy. "Don't worry it will be fun, Gracie" Cassidy smiled as they walked to their apartment. It's going to be a long year, Grace thought.

The boys were spilt into two groups. Jack, Jaquan and Trevor in one room. While Kennedy, Brennan and Mo. But no one cares do they..?

Alice was sadly, put with Anna and Diamond, much to her displeasure. "What do we do now?" someone asked as the teens stood in Emily's and Michelle apartment, since it was the largest. Emily rolled onto Trevor, who pinched her face. "I swear are they going out are not?" "WE'RE NOT!" They replied, still playing with each other. Cassidy, Diamond and Anna were practicing new dance moves, Brennan was trying to out-do Jack in studying, Kennedy was playing video games with Grace. Mo was with Alice, having a discussion about…intelligent 'stuff'. Michelle and Jaquan were on the balcony, staring at the city below them, and thinking about how different their lives are going to be.

From the Eyes of: Clare

I was assigned to interview some exchange students. I was turning one corner when I bumped into someone.

CLIFFHANGER
