Foolish Hearts

Chapter 1:

Liv opened the door to her brothers hearse and stood in Degrassi's presence. She had heard all the stories before, though she couldn't believe them.

"Are you coming?" Eli shouted and she wanted to say something smug back, but nothing came to mind. She brushed her kaki skirt and walked toward her brother. Once she reached him, she gave him a smile and he put his arm around her.

"Just hear me out Liv, don't-"

"I just got back and already you're going all protective on my ass?" Liv giggled.

"I just don't want you to get caught up in the drama of Degrassi." Liv rolled her eyes and removed Eli's arm, holding his hand.

"Just let me do this myself, Eli." she whispered as she walked down the hall. Eli rolled his eyes and watched his baby sister. He wanted to protect her from everything, isn't that what brothers are for…? He just got her back, he hadn't seen her in seven years, after what he did. Eli shook his head, trying to forget. He continued on his way, walking to where he met Clare everyday.

Liv looked at her schedule, trying to figure out where her locker was. A group of boys were standing not so far from it, so she walked past them, feeling their eyes on her every move. She finally reached it and tried the combination, and to her surprise, it worked.

Fitz, who was talking to his friends, took one look at this girl and knew he had to have her. Her shiny black hair, piercing green eyes, she was perfect. He walked away from his friends and leaned against the locker next to hers. Liv looked up.

"Can I help you?" she asked, confused.

"A pretty girl like you was here all alone, I had to do something about it." he winked. Liv laughed.

"That must work on girls here, right?"

"Yes, it usually does." he lied. She slammed her locker shut.

"Well not me." she rolled her eyes, walking to where her next class would be… she hoped. Fitz followed, standing in front of her.

"I'm Fitz." he put out his hand.

"Liv…" she replied hesitant.

"What kind of name is Liv?"

"You're not doing very well here…" he rolled his eyes.

"Nice to meet you." she walked passed him.

"Wish I could say the same." she mumbled loud enough so he could hear it. She walked into the classroom leaving Fitz standing in the hall, alone. He looked down and saw a white piece of paper on the ground. Fitz picked it up and opened it. On the top in big bold letters it said Olivia Goldsworthy. His eyes widened.

"Goldsworthy?" he whispered, smirking. It was too perfect.
