Chapter 1

It's a new year at Degrassi HS and as the bell for first period rings a collective intake of breath can be felt in anticipation of the semester to follow. Dave jogs over to Adam; "Sup dude, so what do you think, is there any new talent this year?"
"I haven't seen anyone so far, mostly just the snivelling new niners."
"Well I signed up for inductions so I'll be on the first line of fire for any new transfers. I'll catch you later bro." Dave throws over his shoulder as he runs up the steps to Principal Simpson's office to join the rest of the Degrassi 2012 meet and greet team.

As Adam follows behind he looks down to see his shoe lace untied and so bends down to fix it only to be bumped into and knocked on his back. No longer has he gathered his position on the ground than down comes a blond mess of hair on top of him.

Down look two bashful blue eyes. New girl Adam muses to himself; "I know they say you should assert your dominance on the first day and all but you didn't really have to go this far…" Adam laughs at her worried face which soon turns into a coy smile. "I'm sorry, it's my first day, I was too busy trying to find where I was going to actually look where I was going." Again she flashed that divine smile at him.

Quickly realising she was still on top of him she began to stand, chastising herself for what kind of girl he must be thinking her laying on top of him. Adam stood too, offering her his hand "Nice to meet you, I'm Adam."
"Becky, and you're a lot taller than I expected."
"I get that a lot when I'm not lying down."
They laugh and Becky apologises again. "Don't worry about it, I'm all in one piece" Adam says running his hands through his hair brushing the bangs out of his eyes.

"Umm, so where are you headed exactly?"
"I was on my way to Principal… Simpsons? office."
Adam recollects what Dave had just been saying; "For the induction, of course, I'll take you there."
Becky looks relieved; "Thanks Adam, bumping into you wasn't so bad after all."

As they walk up to Principal Simpson's office Dave spies them through the window and shakes his head at how Adam managed to find the only hot new girl despite his efforts to get in there first. Now he'd have to deal with the hoard of headless chicken niners all week for little reward.

Becky turns to Adam at the door; "So I'll see you around?" she questions hopefully.
"For sure, meet me at the cafeteria; we'll compare classes over lunch."
"Until we meet again" Becky relays in mock drama. They giggle and Adam starts off to class which he is already 10 minutes late for.

"Mr Torres" scolds Ms Oh; "You are making a great start to the year, please take a seat." Adam didn't even mind being called out, his thoughts were still on the golden haired angel he had just met. He slipped into a seat beside Claire and started to recollect the morning's happenings to her. "Was she nice? What does she look like? Did you make a move on her? Are you guys going to be an item?" Claire started a barrage of questions each of which was more ludicrous than the prior.

"Wow Claire, slow down! Don't sound the wedding bells just yet." Claire gave a slight frown and then looked up hopefully again; "so… is she pretty?" Adam bursts out laughing at her persistence and resigns to answer her questions or be forever tormented. "She is… angelic." Adam replies thoughtfully with a huge smile on his face.


A/N: Couldn't help throwing in the cheesy bump and meet =P
