Prologue:
Madison Alexandra Guthrie smoothed her hands down the pair of formfitting jeans she wore slowly as she shook out her long, mahogany hair. The pale yellow off the shoulder sweater that she wore, clung to her curves. She smiled at her reflection as her big, green eyes darted to the picture that she'd put next to the mirror. A picture of her and her brother at the ages of fourteen and twelve. KC--or rather, Kenneth Christopher Guthrie, would be fifteen now.
The two teens had been seperated three years ago when they'd been placed into the foster care system. Just this year, as soon as she'd hit her seventeenth birthday, she had emancipated herself from the people who had taken her in. It wasn't that she wasn't thankful for everything that theyd done for her. She just needed to be with her family and that was KC. She grabbed the light gray and lilac wool coat and slipped it on. Today would be her first day at Degrassi and her first time seeing her brother in three years. She felt nervousness fill her. She didn't know how KC would react. Would he be angry at her for not being there for him? Her brother had always been one to hold a grudge.

KC pushed his sandy brown hair from his eyes and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend, Clare Edward's waist. He tugged her against his chest and pressed a kiss on the top of her curly head, causing her to laugh.
She slid her hands over his which rested on her stomach as she talked to Alli and Connor, not noticing as KC became still as stone.
His eyes fell on the girl who had her head ducked down, looking at a sheet of yellow paper. Her delicate eyebrows were drawn as she clutched the sheet with pink, painted nails. Her hair was swept up into a bun with strands of mahogany locks framing her small tanned face. He could recognize her even from this distance. The hair and face was a dead give-away. She raised her eyes as if feeling his gaze on her and their eyes connected, widening in recognition and disbelief.
"Maddie?" KC said in awe, mouth open.
"Kenneth?" The girl said sharply, eyes looking much too big for her face as they widened even more.
Clare, Alli, and Connor stared in shock at the two teens, wondering how they knew one another.
"Kenneth?" Alli hissed under her breath so only Connor and Clare could hear. Her nose wrinkled up in disgust. "Eww! I don't blame him for calling himself KC!"
Neither Connor nor Clare replied, much too busy watching the interaction between the Maddie and KC.
Suddenly, the girl let out a squeal and threw herself at him, wrapping in a hug. Her schedule sheet fluttered to the ground with the movement and Clare bent to pick it up, blue eyes widening when she saw the name written up top.
'Guthrie, Madison.'
