A/n: Just to let you know, this chapter is kind of boring just because I'm trying to gain momentum. In this story, Eli and Clare aren't dating yet because Clare is afraid of getting hurt, and Eli is tired of waiting for her. Adam thinks he may like Natalie (new girl), but so does Eli. It's also about what it's like to be Fitz's sister. There's a lot going on in this story, so try to keep up!

Natalie's POV:
My name is Natalie Fitzgerald. Yep you heard it right Fitzgerald. Fitz is my brother, most people think he's awful, but what they don't see is the loving brother that I know. Sure, he has his moments, but deep, deep, down, he's pretty awesome. He's a little more protective than most people would think. Even though he's only two and a half years older than me, he thinks I can't handle things on my own. For the past year, I've been at a boring all girls boarding school. I'm starting my freshman year at Degrassi.

I woke up Monday morning, excited to get to school and meet new people. I took my time getting dressed and putting on makeup. I went downstairs to get some cereal. Mark was all ready in the kitchen.
"Ready for your first day of public school?" He said putting a plate of French toast in front of me.
"You betcha! " I said while putting a fork full of toast in my mouth.
"Okay, well finish up and I'll take you to school."
Soon after I finished my breakfast, Mark and I were walking to his car.
"So is it true that you almost stabbed a guy?" I said climbing in the car.
"Can we talk about this later?" He said.
We sat in silence for the whole ride.
"Well here we are, the infamous Degrassi." He said as we were walking up the front steps.
I hooked my arm with his arm, feeling nervous. We walked through the doors, I was kind of happy that my mom registered me ahead of time. Mark walked me to my locker and for some reason I couldn't let go of his arm, he had to pry me from him. I opened my locker and put my backpack inside, I noticed three kids standing right next to me, and one of them was at their locker. One was a girl with short curly hair; next to her was a very feminine but handsome looking boy. And last but not least, there was a tall, lean boy with black hair; he had on a grey shirt with a black vest over it, and acid wash skinny jeans and a metal studded belt. His emerald green eyes were just amazing. I didn't notice that I was staring at him until he smirked at me. It wasn't just a smirk. It was a sideways smirk that could make any girl melt.
Eli POV:
As I was opening my locker, I caught a glimpse of Fitz and a mystery girl at a locker with their arms locked. She looked over at me with bright blue eyes, she had freckles sprinkled over her nose and cheeks, much like Fitz. Her hair was black with blue streaks here and there. She had a purple and black plaid shirt and black skinny jeans. She reminded me so much of Julia. I wanted to talk to her but suddenly all of my confidence was drained. Adam turned in her direction; he must have been thinking the same thing as I.
"Hi, I'm Adam. I haven't seen you around are you new?" He said.
"Um yea, just got here today. Nice to meet you, I'm Natalie." She said with a smile.
Natalie's POV:
"You really don't want to get involved with these losers Nat." Mark said.
"Don't you have some innocent, defenseless kid to terrorize?" I said. He just stood there."Well, go, get out of my face Mark, I'll see you at lunch." I said slamming my locker shut. Mark walked away.
"Sorry about that." I said turning back to Adam and his friends.
"So what's up with you and Fitz?" The dark haired one asked.
"Oh, um, it's nothing." I said looking at the floor.
"Well I'm Eli and this is Clare." He said pointing towards the girl.
"Nice to meet you all." I said smiling.
"What grade are you in?" Clare said.
"I'm a freshman, what about you guys?"
"I'm a sophomore and so is Adam and Eli is a junior." Clare said.
"It was really nice meeting you guys, but I'm going to get to class now." Said.
We all said our goodbyes and promised we'd eat lunch together.
My classes passed by so slowly before we got to lunch. I walked into the cafeteria, confused over where to sit. I felt someone grab my hand; I looked over to find my brother.
"I'm sitting with Eli and his friends, not your idiotic ones." I said snatching my hand back.
Eli POV
I scanned the cafeteria for Natalie, and found her and Fitz by the entrance holding hands and talking. She let go of his hand and started walking towards our table. Fitz trailed behind her, Natalie turned around and she looked like she was yelling at him. Finally she walked away and sat next to Clare and right across from Adam and me.
"What just happened with you and Fitz didn't look like nothing." I said with concern. I decided to change the subject.
"So what do guys know about the guy that Mark almost stabbed?" I asked curiously.
Everyone just sat in an awkward silence for a while until Eli spoke up.
"That would be me." He said.
A/n: Boring right? I promise it will be more interesting as the story progresses. Just tell me what you thought.
