Chapter 1 : Bitter sweet surprise.
''Ladies and gentlemen you are now free to exit the plane, thank-you for flying with us.'' said the stourtist on the plane.
''Thank-god.'' Alice sighed as she collected her belongings and got in the line of the people exiting.
''Alice! Would you wait?'' Alessandra's mother asked. Alice had been so anxious to get off the plane she had completely forgot that her parents were even there.
''Sorry I guessI'll meet you up at the front okay?'' Alice explained, turning her head back around and continued to walk in the line. Two minutes later Alessandra found herself in the terminal. She figured that she would be waiting for a few minutes considering how many things her mother refused to let the movers touch when they were packing, so Alice took a moment to rest on a chair.
Just as Alice was about to close her eyes she heard her name being called, but the voice didn't belong to either one of her parents. Maybe there was another Alice nearby, Alice though to herself. Alice sighed before closing her eyes again. ''Alice?'' The voice asked. Her eyes immediately opened to see her cousin standing before her. ''Did I scare you?'' Eli asked with a grin as he took a seat next to Alice. ''Yes and if i wasn't so tired I would punch you for it.'' Alice said annoyingly.
''That bad of a flight huh?'' Eli asked. ''Well at least your here now.''
'''Yeah I guess.'' Alice sighed flipping her hair to the side and then back again.
''Where are your parents?'' Eli said while looking to see if his aunt and uncle were around.
''I don't know, they brought a ton of shit so I wouldn't be surprised if the weight is too much to handle.'' Alice explained.
Eli laughed. ''well do you they'd let us go back and help them?''
''Probably not.'' Alice answered.
''Well that's stupid.'' Eli said.
''What are you even doing here?'' Alice asked.
''I thought I'd come surprise you'' Eli explained. ''So I heard your not going to Degrassi?''
''Nope Mom and Dad heard about the whole knife inncident and well you know.'' Alice answered.
''Yeah I wasn't really wanting you to go there anyways too much drama.'' Eli sighed taking another look around to make sure Alice's parents didn't accidently pass them by.
''Where are they? I'm starting to worry.'' Alice looked around.
''I'm sure they are here somewhere.'' Eli reassured Alice.
''Well how is life for you?'' Alice asked Eli.
''Great, alot better then it was when I last talked to you.''
''Yeah? So your over Clare?'' Alice asked seriously. Eli went silent.
''Oh god. Please don't tell me you two got back together.'' Alice said.
''What's so wrong with Clare?'' Eli asked.
''Put it this way, theres so much wrong with her, soon God himself won't be able to solve her problems.'' Alice said.
''That's harsh.'' Eli said.
''Eli, she knew you were going to do something stupid that night.'' Alice said.
''Well you've never met her.'' Eli said.
''Yeah well looks like I may never.''
''Why not.''
''I really don't want to.'' Alice said.
''Well your going to. Not to mention, she just had a step-sister move into her house.'' Eli explained.
''Well that's great if they are go to Toronto Academy.'' Alice said sarcastically.
''She said she doesn't go to Degrassi.'' Eli said.
''Well still.'' Alice said while getting out her phone to see if there was any service so she could text.
''I just thought you'd like to make new friends.'' Eli said definsively.
''Well thanks but I can make my own friends.'' Alice explained.
''Okay.'' Eli said.
Alice was about to ask more about Clare's step-sister when her mother and father finally exited the plane. ''Sorry it took us so long.'' ''We had trouble getting the luggage, because somebody forgot that she had parents.'' Alice's mother said sternly. ''Sorry mom'' Alice said while realiving her mother of a suitcase and then passing it to Eli. ''Since your here.'' Alice joked. Eli smirked and took another suitcase from his uncle.
''I'm guessing there is more at the luggage claim?'' Eli asked,trying to take in the heaviness of the two suitcases in his hands. Alessandra nodded her head. ''Well lets go. How did you guys plan on getting all this crap in a rental car?''
''We didn't.'' Alice said giving her mother a look. ''Maybe we can use your car and the rental car?'' Alice suggested as she collected her luggage once again.
''I don't see why not.'' Eli said with a smile as they began to walk towards luggage claim.
''well that's nice Eli, but i'm sure we can fit all of this in the rental car.'' Eli's aunt said.
''I can barely feel my hands Aunt Stella, I insist on using both cars.'' Eli explained as he pointed out where luggage claim was. ''I'll go get my car and bring it to the rental car center and see you guys then. I'll take these suitcases too.'' Eli explained.
Fifteen minutes later, Alice's family pulled up with their rental car and decided which luggage to put in which car. Alice went with Eli since she was the only one that completely understood the directions on how to get to the new house. ''We'll see you guys in a while.'' Eli said to his aunt and uncle as he got into his car with Alice. Alice simply waved goodbye to her parents before getting in the black mustang. The two cars pulled out of the parking lot and straight onto the freeway.
