Disclaimer: I own Reeni, but nothing else.
It was a day just like any other at Degrassi Community School. People everywhere, talking with friends, catching up on gossip, pairs of eyes following and spotting all the newest trends, not to mention the newest fashion mistakes.
On this particular day, there was a new set of eyes present at Degrassi. However, this particular pair of pale blue eyes was not set on any fashion "do's" or "don'ts". Instead, they were set straight ahead, only two goals to accomplish; finding their way around the unfamiliar halls, and staying as invisible as possible.
"Brrrring!" Well, one goal partially accomplished; homeroom was managed to be found before the bell. Slowly walking inside, the owner of the pale blue eyes, searched the room and its contents. People seemed to be watching the newcomer as she looked around at her new surroundings. She saw one girl with light, blonde hair and quite a bit of make-up watching her, then turn and whisper something to the dark-skinned girl beside her, which caused them both to snicker and look at her. She didn't let it phase her, what did the opinions of these people mean anyways? She also spotted a tall, thin boy with lots of curly, black hair look at her and smile. Quite frankly, she didn't appreciate it that much. She didn't need his fake sympathy and friendliness, or anyone else's for that matter. She reached the back of the room, and sat down next to a girl who appeared to be trying rather hard to make herself different from the countless clones in the room.
The teacher, Ms. Kwan, walked around the room, taking attendance. As she finished, she searched the room, and smiled. "We have a new addition to the Degrassi community today," she said, smiling towards the back of the room, "Journey Randall." The pale eyes darted up, "I go by Reeni." Everyone in the room turned to look at her. She was wearing a fitted, grey tee shirt, and jeans that were a little large on her. They took in her long, wavy, dirty-blonde hair that fell to the middle of her back, and her pale face. She had small, delicate features; a small nose, tiny, light-colored lips, ...and thin, pale blue eyes. Her delicate features did not soften the hard look that was in her eyes, however.
Jimmy turned to Spinner, Paige, and Hazel, and asked, "Is it just me, or is there something strangely familiar about this girl?" And it was true, there was a certain familiarity about her that was evident to everyone in the room.
Ms. Kwan smiled, "Very well, Reeni it is." She said as she made the name change on her list. "Reeni just moved here a few days ago from Wasaga Beach, up north. So, Reeni, why don't you tell us a bit about yourself?" Reeni looked up at the teacher and stated quite simply, "No, that's all right." Ms. Kwan was quite take aback, but decided not to push it. What was the point in forcing a student to open up? Still, she felt the need to take it just a bit further, "All right then. What a shame though, we would have loved to hear about you." Reeni looked down and muttered quietly under her breath, "trust me, you're not missin' much..." The girl next to her turned to her and whispered "Don't mind Kwan, she can be quite heartless. I'm Ellie, welcome to Degrassi...."
