PROLOGUE
I guess that by now I really should be used to the whole moving schools thing. I mean, I've practically been on the run from my parents since I was thirteen years old. Its sort of a good thing that they don't care enough to put up those stupid missing posters and shit though. At least that's one thing that I don't have to worry about.
Nobody really knows why I ran away. Sometimes I don't even remember. But it always comes back to hit me just as hard as it did the first time. I'd prefer to keep most of my past a secret, though, so I can just get to college and become a director like I've always wanted to.
This school is called Degrassi, and it's empty, hollow hallways remind me of the teenagers that will soon populate it. I was secretly dreading the moment that the bell would ring, and I was debating on weather or not to just hightail it out of there while I had the chance. I've had bad luck with people my whole life, boys mostly. They always find one way or another to hurt you, and I'm done taking that road.
I sighed as I twisted the dial on my locker and thought of what waited for me in this school. Another beginning, another broken heart, another boy, and another not so happy ending. Not necessarily in that order. A sharp ringing broke through the silence, sending cold shivers down my spine.
