The After School Specials
The criminal- Eli
The princess- Fiona
The brain- Clare
The basketcase- Imogen
The jock- Drew
It's just another Saturday morning. Actually, that's not true. If it was another saturday morning, the teenagers of Degrassi would be either sleeping in, studying, watching TV, skipping breakfast, or another way to waste valuable brain cells.
Eli parks his hearse in the parking lot. Dressed in all black, rusty boots, greased hair covering half of his face, and wearing more bottom eyeliner than a girl would wear.
Clare was hiding behind the stairwell as she stares at Eli walking in. She looks at him in confusement at everything about him- his appearance, his general attitude, his method of transportation, and no backpack. She does not understand what it is about other girls that find the tall, dark, mysterious devil may care guys so appealing. Clare talks her notebook out of backpack and jots something down. Eli walks past not noticing her while Clare walks in the same direction a far distance away from Eli.
Fiona gets out of her light pink Lexus without even acknowledging her driver with a grande size cup of Starbucks coffee. Looking like she has better places to be in, she rolls her eyes as she opens the Degrassi entrance.
Imogen walks to school in a leisurely skip. She is dressed with two buns in her hair and a pair of animal ears on. Her dress looked like she borrowed it from an Alice in Wonderland character. Before she opens the door, she takes a selfie with her camera making a kissy face and a peace sign with her fingers.
Drew is dropped off to school at the front by his mother.
"So you know that I'll be checking if you've done your homework once you're through with detention, right?" asks Audra Torres.
"Yes mom." Drew says, annoyed. "Even though I'll probably be the only kid there doing homework."
"Does it look like I care what the other kids are doing?" Audra interrogates. "Whether you did or didn't humiliate…"
"Mom, you've lectured me enough about this so please get off my back!" yelled Drew.
"Don't you dare yell at me!" Audra yelled back.
Drew gave his mother an apologetic glance.
"Dammit, Drew!" yelled Audra. "I thought you were smarter than this."
"Mom, you and I both know that's not true." says Drew as he slams the door in frustration.
Audra sighs as she watches her son enter Degrassi to begin a detention where no one would realize that this day would change their lives.
