The New Girl 2
Recap: A new student found her way at Degrassi High only to be met by the school's bad girl and recent ex of popular cheerleader. In a matter of time they started dating and seemed inseparable, sure they had their fights and disagreements, but they made their way through it. Charlie was even going to move away, but decided that her life was with Alex in Toronto. They even decided to live together. So here they are, four years later, ready to graduate.
Chapter 1
"Alex, babe, I'm home" Charlie said as she walked into her 2 bedroom apartment, that she shared with Alex, and put her book bag down on the bench near the door. "Alex?" she asked again.
"in here" Alex said from the bedroom. Charlie and Alex may have an apartment with 2 bedrooms, but only use one. Charlie walked towards the sound of her voice to see Alex peacefully lying down on the bed.
"hey, what are you doing?" Charlie asked as she leaned her body against the door frame. She loved being with Alex, Alex was her everything. She was cool, calm and collected and she was perfect for Charlie.
"Just thinking" she replied simply.
"about what?" Charlie asked as she went to lie down beside her girlfriend. Alex gladly opened her arms so Charlie could lie down beside her. Charlie took in the smell of Alex, it was a sweet smell that she would never be able to forget.
"just stuff"
"like…?"
"school, the future… stuff like that"
"can you believe we're finally graduating? I mean wow, four years of university. It seems like just yesterday I moved in here." Charlie said reminiscing.
"I know, we finally made it though. Our lives are just starting" Alex said as she shut her eyes, but not intending to fall asleep. For four years now, Alex and Charlie had been living together. Sure they still had their fights and arguments but their relationship only got stronger by the day. There was no doubt that they were madly in love with each other. Alex started studying photography in her first year of university as an elective type of program, but developed a fond interest of it and started to pursue it as more of a career. Charlie on the other hand decided to get in to business, and entrepreneurship. They both seemed very pleased with what they were doing. Also over the years more than their education has developed. Now Charlie and Alex looked a little different. Alex had cut her hair a little shorter, but still kept the bad girl image. It still remained the same colour, but messier. Her style of clothes started to turn out more like Charlie's, which was good because now they could share clothes. Charlie how ever, grew her hair out a little longer, also keeping her red-ish brown hair, but her style still stayed the same. Over all, not that much changed about them.
"so as of now I have completed all my finals and exams and all I have left to do is get that pretty piece of paper and throw that oddly shaped hat into the air." Charlie said as a joke.
"I still have one more exam tomorrow, I'm just taking a break. You know, spending time with my favourite person" Alex said as she kissed Charlie on the cheek. Charlie just snuggled closer to her and put her arm around Alex's stomach. "oh hey, uhh Marco and everyone are getting together next week for a graduation party. You wanna go?"
"yeah of course. Who's going to be there?" Charlie asked not even looking up or moving from her spot. She was too comfortable in Alex's arms.
"lets see, there is Marco, Dylan, Ellie, Ashley, Craig, Spinner, Jimmy, and Paige" Alex said without any hesitation. Ever since Paige helped Alex and Charlie get together at the end of high school, the three girls became closer, you could even say best friends. Paige attended Banting though, so the girls would rarely see each other but they would always call or email when ever they could. They really liked each other now. Unfortunately Paige's relationship with Charlie's ex, Jackie, didn't last more than a few months, but Paige figured that she did enough damage to Alex and Charlie's relationship so she left it as is.
"Paige is coming?!" Charlie asked with a smile, she really was quite fond of Paige now.
"yeah, the rumour is she's coming back to live in Toronto after University"
"that's great!" she said with sincere enthusiasm.
"yeah, it'll be just like in high school, but less chaos" Alex said making Charlie giggle a little. Silence was among the two girls for a few minutes allowing them to think about other things.
"babe?" Charlie asked.
"mmm?" Alex asked nearly drifting off.
"what are we going to do?" asked Charlie in a serious like tone.
"what do you mean?"
"like after graduation, what are we going to do? Are we going to keep living here and find jobs or what?"
"yeah I guess we should keep living here, find some odd jobs around, see if we can get serious jobs, and we'll take it from there. But until then I'm not exactly sure." Charlie didn't reply or continue the conversation she just left it at that. Charlie's father had been paying for half of the rent, but Charlie had found a job to pay for other things like food. Alex had no problems keeping up her half of the rent and stuff. Charlie knew that Alex had an okay job, but the way she figured it, with her salary she shouldn't be able to pay for it. But somehow she was and she didn't really want to pry.
"I love you, you know that right?" Charlie asked as she propped herself up on her elbows and face Alex.
"I know. I love you too" Alex said with a small smile and gave Charlie a quick kiss. "Alright, now if I don't go study for this exam I might not be able to toss that oddly shaped hat in the air with you." Alex said as she got up and walked out of the room. Almost instantly, Alex ran back into the room and jumped on the bed. "but let's have a little fun first" Alex said as she started to kiss a laughing Charlie. As soon as Charlie and Alex started making out the phone rang.
"just let it go to the machine" Alex mumbled between kisses.
The answering machine picked up "hey you've reached Charlie…"
"and Alex. Sorry we can't take your call, we're to busy having hot wild sex!" Then the beep came. Charlie and Alex instantly laughed at the message they made for the machine, because most of the time it was right, especially now.
"hey Lexi honey, it's mom, give me a call when you get this we need to… talk, about that thing, oh and change your answering machine message… it's a little disturbing"
"uh what thing is your mom talking about?" Charlie asked breaking her lips from Alex's.
"oh nothing…" Alex said smiling as she went back to Charlie's mouth.
