Today was just like any other day in science. I sat alone in the back, drowning out reality with my music, when I saw an unfamiliar face walk in, an hour into class. Her hair was jet black, with purple highlights, and she wore a permanent smirk on her face. She wore all black; black leather jacket, black t- shirt, black jeans with chains hanging down from them, a studded belt, complete with combat boots. Around her neck she wore a large pair of headphones, similar to mine. Her eyes were covered with a pair of black shades. If I didn't know any better, I would say that she was my long lost sister. I stared at her as she was introduced by the teacher, and followed her with my eyes as she walked back to my side of the room, placing her headphones over her ears, and taking the seat adjacent from me. From my seat, I could hear her own music over mine; I was pretty amazed at that fact, "Hollywood Undead?" I asked, she nodded, her smirk never leaving her face, "What is your name?" "New Kid," she said, "Seriously?" "No, but I move too frequently to bother with casualties," she explained rolling her eyes, "Fun," I said sarcastically, "Not really," she sighed. Next thing I knew, the teacher was behind me, "If you two are done, we will resume class," she said, annoyed, "And you," she directed toward New, "I know it's your first day and all, but get your feet off of the desk and turn down your music, I can hear it from the front of the classroom.

I sighed with a smile, turning my music off and placing my headphones around my neck, "Could you actually hear what I was saying?" emo boy asked, "New Kid, to the main office please, New Kid, to the main office," the intercom droned, I shook my head smirking, "I read lips," I said, grabbing my bag and leaving.
I walked down the hallway before realizing that I didn't know where I was. I cursed, grabbing the map out of my back pocket; which didn't help in the slightest, "Are you lost by any chance?" asked a boy wearing a gray beanie, "Yeah, I am looking for the office," I admitted, annoyed, "First day?" he guessed, "Yeah," I sighed. We began walking, "Here we are," he said after a few minutes, stopping in front of a room labeled 'Main Office' "Thanks…" "Adam" he said, stretching his hand out to me, "New," I smirked, "Well New, welcome to Degrassi," he said, retreating backwards, until he eventually turned a corner. I walked in, where the principal ushered me into his own office, "Your mother called for you, she wants you to stay at a friend's house for a while. Her and your dad will be out of town for the next few days," he said, "Is that all?" I asked, as the bell rang, signaling the end of fourth period. He let me go, after giving me directions to my final class, Advanced Literature with Ms. Dawes. As soon as I walked in, I saw Adam, and the kid from my science class, "Adam, emo boy, it is great to see some familiar faces," I greeted, "Emo boy?" he quirked an eyebrow, "You never did tell me your name," I stated, "Its Eli, how was the office?" Eli asked, "Fine, once I found it," Adam laughed, "What did Simpson want?" he asked, "My parents took it upon themselves to leave an hour after moving to a new city, they expect me to stay with a friend, which I haven't met very many of while being here. I really have nowhere to go," I stated, "You can hang with us," Eli offered, "Really?" I asked, "Yeah, we are staying at a friend's house tonight, but she will be totally cool with it," Adam claimed, "Alright cool," I said, "Adam, Eli, New, since you three seem to be the best of friends, you three will be writing partners for the year," Ms. Dawes said, "Okay, Ms. D," she smiled, "I expect great things from you three," she said before going back to her lesson. Once I realized that I had already learned this stuff, I zoned out, opting to doodle in one of my notebooks instead.
I didn't realize that class had ended until my notebook was pulled out from under me, "Who is Clare?" Eli asked, "Clare is my best friend, I had to leave her in New York when I moved, and I miss her a lot," I lied smoothly, "Well, school's over," he said, I looked around to see that the three of us were the only ones left in the room, "So it is," I laughed, "C'mon, you need to meet the others," Adam said. This should be fun.

New was pretty cool, but I had a feeling that she was hiding something, and there was something about her that made me want to figure it out. We met up with the other three at our usual spot, "Hey, you're that new girl," Alli said, "Hi, I'm New," she introduced herself, "Obviously," Alli stated with an eye roll, "No, my name is New," she clarified, "Wow, your parents must hate you," Alli laughed, "Alli!" Julia gasped, New surprised us all by laughing, "That might just be true, but it's my name by choice. I move too often to worry about stuff like that," "Oh," was all Alli said, "Hey, her parents are out of town tonight, and she needs a place to stay, can she crash with us at your house?" "Well sure, I can already tell that we will be the best of friends!" Alli squealed, pulling New into a hug. She tensed up, causing Alli to let go, "I'm not much of an affectionate person," she said awkwardly, Alli waved it off dismissively, "It's all good," Alli assured her, "Meet at my house at four," she directed, dragging Drew with her as she left, Adam followed with a sigh, "I'm Julia, Eli's girlfriend," Julia said, stretching out her hand, "New," she replied, shaking Julia's hand, "Oh babe, I have to go home for a bit, I'll just get my dad to take me to Alli's," Julia said, kissing my cheek and skipping off. I looked around to see that New had walked off, so I went out to Morty.
So I know that I have been starting a lot of stories lately... But this one isn't exactly out of the blue... I have been writing it for a while, but have finally gotten around to publishing it... Honestly I don't think I will keep the last two stories that I have written, because they just aren't as good as I wanted them to be... But we shall see...
