AN: Okay so after ending my other fic "Change Happens" I really wanted to write a different type of story. I hope you enjoy this! Keep in mind this does not follow any of the Degrassi storylines so please don't get angry at me for not sticking to the show fully, though some things may seem familiar. Please read and review! I hope you enjoy!
Zane had awakened to the sharp light coming through his shades in the morning, almost blinding him when he dared to open his eyes, squinting he rolled over and wrapped his arms around the half asleep figure next to him. He laid there for holding the person against his body, Zane closed his eyes and let his mind wander for a second before letting go and rolling slowly out of bed. He walked over to his dresser and searched for a second before pulling out a fresh pair of jeans and a shirt.
"G'mornin" Zane heard from behind, he smiled and turned around before he walked over to his companion and kissed them on the forehead.
"Sleep well?" Zane asked before walking in the direction of the bathroom.
"Yeah, you? Why are you up so early anyway?"
"Ya know, first day of school have to get things off to a good start, it is a new school after all." Zane said laughing a little bit, he did typically get up early, but today he had a promising feeling, he sensed change that was about to take over his life like he had never seen before, a new school year and a new school would give him just the chance to do so.
"Come on Zane, it's just Degrassi, I'm sure it won't be any different than your last school" His companion giggled before they spoke again.
"Okay maybe I'm just a little excited, I mean I did convince my parents to let me transfer over there just for you." Zane said coyly.
"Speaking of my parents..."
"Yup I got it, I don't think they're awake yet but I'll make sure to be quiet when I leave" Anya walked over slowly to Zane, only a sheet wrapped around her gentle body before leaning over and kissing him slowly.
"Take you're shower hun, I'm gonna go home and change but I'll see you at school" Anya said with a sultry smile before walking over to her pile of clothes and placing them on the bed. Zane walked into the bathroom and waited until he heard his bedroom door shut before walking back out and sitting on his bed. He sat down and placed his elbows on his knees, his fingers rubbing into his temples and his smile fading for the first time this morning. The strong sent of coffee slowly faded into his room awakening the young teenager even more, Zane breathed in deeply and mentally prepared himself for the day, knowing that everything would be different. The only reason Zane was going to Degrassi was because Anya wanted to show off her boy toy to everyone, Zane had no idea how he let himself fall into that trap but it happened. He loved Anya he really did, but he was wondering if transferring to a new school was a bad idea. He quickly shook the idea out of his head before walking back into the bathroom and started his shower.
Once out of the shower Zane promptly dressed, pulled his fingers through his hair and quickly made his bed, shaking out a pair of Anya's undergarments along the way.
"This has got to stop" Zane thought to himself before shaking that idea out of his head as well. He gathered the basic first day of school supplies he would need, and put them in his messenger bag before throwing that over his shoulder and walking out of his room. He walked into the kitchen to see his mother reading a newspaper while slowly chewing her toast, a steaming cup of coffee sitting next to her. He looked into the living room where his father was watching some fast paced show where the daily stocks were scrolling on one side and headlines were streaming down at the bottom. Zane sighed before pulling out the carton of orange juice and pouring himself a glass and pulled a chair out next to his mother.
"It was nice seeing Anya this morning, she could use a haircut though" Zane's mother said in her typical snarky fashion. Zane blushed lightly at the thought of his mother bumping into Anya on her walk of shame.
"You ready for your first day?" His mother asked, her eyes barely glancing up from her newspaper, she squinted at one of the pages before adjusting her glasses closer to her face and made an expression which set her wrinkles much deeper into her face, making her age significantly.
"Ehh you know, it's just another day of school" Zane said casually while downing the rest of his orange juice before walking over to the sink and depositing his glass.
"If you want to transfer back, just let us know" His mother said uninterestedly as Zane slowly headed for the door.
"Yup, bye mom" Zane said before closing the door quickly behind him. He jogged down the stairs of the front porch before getting to the sidewalk and heading towards Degrassi. Turning on Degrassi street he saw the large high school surrounded by what appeared to be hundreds of adolescents, all with schedules in front of their noses comparing them with their friends. Degrassi was much bigger than Zane's old high school, a privet school that he had attended since kindergarten, he knew Degrassi would be a big step for him but Zane figured it was time to step outside of his comfort zone. Walking slowly up the stairs he saw groups of girls touching each others hair and complementing each others outfits, he looked out on the lawn and saw a group of boys tossing a football then inside where teachers were standing outside of their classrooms holding coffee cups and carrying on careful conversation. Zane realized that Degrassi may not be that big of a stretch from his old school.
"Hey gorgeous you miss me?" Zane heard from behind him, he turned and say Anya fresh in a new outfit, glowing in front of him. Her smile stretched from ear to ear at the sight of her boyfriend and she even went as far as to let out a quick squeal as Zane walked over and hugged her.
"I can't wait until you meet all my friends!" Anya said excitedly before continuing to add numerous details about her endless list of friends. As Zane walked through his first day of classes everything was a blur to him, every face looked the same and every name sounded similar. He only recognized a couple of names that he had heard Anya use in the past but could not match the face he was introduced to, to the name they were given. At lunch time Anya continued to chatter and inform Zane of everything that had taken place in her day. It was routine for the two, she would talk, and he would pretend to listen, it's not that Zane didn't necessarily want to listen, it's just Anya talked A LOT. A person named Holly J. slid her tray across from Zane and introduced herself to the boy. Anya and Holly J. carried on polite conversation for a while until Holly J. had finished eating, before excusing herself mumbling something about student council responsibilities. Zane looked up as yet another tray slid in front of him, he continued to look down, feeling overwhelmed by the size of the school at that moment.
"Zane? Zane? Are you even listening? Zane this is Riley, my best friend ever!" Anya said this again with a little squeak. Zane continued to look down before taking a deep breath and looking up, barely willing to endure one more introduction today. Zane looked up and found his eyes locking with a pair of deep blue green eyes, the curly haired boy across the table gave Zane a quick wave and a shy smile before looking down again.
"Oh forgive Riley he's a little shy. Anyway Riley this is my super adorable boyfriend Zane, isn't he cute?" Anya said this all at once, Riley blushed a little and nodded in Anya's direction.
"I can ask him that because he's gay" Anya said in a more than obvious whisper. Riley blushed again and Anya continued to chat about ever detail in her life while Zane looked at riley through a small curtain of eyelashes, trying not to make his staring obvious. Something about the older boy intrigued him a little, Zane brushed it off as though it was nothing, he would surely hear more about the boy from Anya later.
"See ya later Riley, I'm gonna hit the bathroom before my next class, I'll catch up with you later babe" Zane said before kissing Anya quickly on the lips and walking out of the cafeteria. Zane was alone when he walked down the hallway to the mens restroom surprised that the Degrassi halls could actually be empty for once, he went into the bathroom before entering the stall and leaning against the side. It was gonna be a long year.
AN: Okay so I'm giving a go at a new type of Ziley storyline. I hope you guys enjoy it, this will be a multi fic chapter, I just need to figure out where I want to go with all of this. Please review!
