Rebecca Daniels sighed as she ran a hand through her long, mahoghany hair and tied it into a loose ponytail. Her golden eyes stared at her reflection piercingly. She couldn't believe that today of all days, she had to attend a new school. All because she was sent to this godforsaken group home! It was the fourth home she'd been in since she was twelve. She was fourteen now and was in Nash Gabriel's group home. It was supposed to be for hard to handle kids and teens. Ones who were like her and always tended to find trouble in the least expected places. She would be heading to school with KC Guthrie, another foster kid who was a year or so older than her.
Her eyes locked on to a spot in the mirror when she heard her bedroom door open. A tall boy with sandy brown hair and a pair of green eyes stood there with his hip leaning against the door frame. His backpack hung casually off one shoulder and he had a skateboard tucked under his arm He wore a blue graphic tee and a pair of baggy jeans and black converse as well.
"Hey kiddo, you ready for school?" He asked her as he stepped into the room and glanced down at her. She stood at about four foot nine in her sneakers. Not very tall at all. No wonder he called her kiddo.
She gave him a defiant glare, placing her hands with the painted ruby nails on her hips. "Don't call me kiddo!" She snarled, face screwing up in anger and annoyance.
KC just rolled his eyes at her and shook his head. "Well hurry up Rebecca! We've got to be leaving! Especially if you want me to introduce you to Alli, Connor, Dave, and Clare." A small smile came upon his face as he said Clare's name.
Rebecca snorted under her breath. "And why pray tell would I want to meet them? I'm bound to be shipped of to another group home in a matter of weeks!" She shouted, eyes sparkling with angry tears. It was the same story whichever home she went to. She got used to being tossed aside like trash and having to leave the friends she'd made. Well she wasn't going to do that this time! It was best to expect the worst, rather than end up being disappointed.
KC just looked at her sadly. She reminded him so much of himself. He'd been tossed out of foster homes left and right because of his behavior. His own parents hadn't wanted him. When he'd first come here, he'd been determined not to get to friendly or close with anyone. Then he'd went to Degrassi and had met Clare Edwards as well as Alli and Connor. Clare though, she was the whole reason why he'd given Degrassi a chance. She'd had him captivated the moment he met her, the first day of his freshman year at Degrassi.
"Okay." Her voice said, breaking through his thoughts of Clare. "I'm ready. But I'm not going to enjoy this."
With that, Rebecca stalked torward the door with her bookbag thrown precariously over her shoulder. It was as if she thought she was walking to her death.
"Clare!" Alli Bhandari screeched as she ran down the halls, torwards her best friend. The task was made harder than it sounded, with her wearing her high heeled, pink sandals. She threw her arms around her friend in a hug.
Clare laughed and hugged her back warmly, pulling away to brush her newly cut hair out of her eyes. She watched her friend's eyes widen in delight as she took in the stylishly cut, chin length hair.
"Oh my God!!" Alli crowed, hugging her laughing friend once more. "You look incredible! KC is going to think you are hot!" She stated with a devillish grin as she moved her eyebrows up and down suggestively.
"Alli!" Clare said in astonishment, though it really shouldn't shock her. She was proud of herself for managing not to blush.
"Oh come on Clare!" The dark haired girl scoffed. "You know you like that you-----"
"She knows that she likes what?" The very guy they'd been speaking of asked as he maneuvered his way torward them. A short girl followed closely behind.
Clare whirled around, bright red staining her cheeks as she saw KC. She averted her gaze and blushed harder.
KC raised one eyebrow in question and heard Rebecca let a huff of breath in reluctant amusement. "You look great Clare." He complimented, giving her a winning smile.
She smiled at him in thanks. "You do too KC. It's great to see you." She whispered honestly. They'd been working on getting their friendship back on track since the last week of school, last year. She knew that she wanted KC back romantically, but she didn't quite trust him yet. Not all the way. Her eyes landed on the young girl who stood behind her friend and ex boyfriend. She smiled a little and took a step closer, holding out a small hand. "Hey. I'm Clare Edwards. You must be Rebecca Daniels. KC told me about you on the phone last night. I hope you like it here at Degrassi." She said sweetly.
Rebecca smiled politely and shook the older girl's hand, not saying anything in reply. She looked at the dark haired girl curiously, wondering if she was going to introduce herself.
Alli got the hint when Clare nudged her hard in the side with her elbow and tilted her head torward the younger girl. She stepped forward to shake the girl's hand. "I'm Alli Bhandari." She told her quickly before beginning to dig through her purse for her compact mirror.
Clare's sudden shriek made her jump. "My God Clare! Are you trying to kill?!" She complained as she put a hand on one hip and glared at her best friend who didn't look the least bit embarrassed as she was currently hugging their friend Connor Deslauriers. Alli ran over to hug him as well, happy to finally be back in school with her friends. Summer had been a bit of a bore for her with Clare gone all Summer at the beach with her grandmother then helping her sister, Darcy out in Kenya for the second week before school started.
Connor pulled away from them moments later adjusting his glasses. He turned to look at KC, only for his gaze to land on Rebecca and he felt his breath catch in his throat as a pair of pretty gold eyes stared up at him. "Uh...hi." He said lamely. He'd never been good in social situations and mentally cursed himself for that. "I'm Connor DesLauriers." He told her, swallowing the lump in his throat and shaking her proffered hand. He could smell the vanilla from her shampoo as he leaned closer to her.
"Rebecca Daniels. I'm in the group home with KC." She told him, perking up immediatly. A smile lit up her face as she looked at him with interest.
KC, Clare, and Alli smirked knowingly as the two teens refused to take their eyes of one another. And it was then that they came up with a plan.
Next part: Connor and Rebecca talk. Dave and KC question Connor about what he thinks of Rebecca while Alli and Clare do the same. Rebecca ask Connor out on a date.
