I just want to start by saying that this is a backward fairytale with a few other twists.

I had to find a way to connect the characters so I chose music (after the karaoke scene) and with that said this story will contain lyrics to multiple songs. I do not own these lyrics (title and band will be at the bottom of the chapter the song is in) or Degrassi.

Please give your HONEST opinion and questions/requests in the comments because I'm not sure if this is good and I don't want to waste my free time on something no one likes.

I also take requests on a story you would like to see me write so if you have an idea send me a PM and I will consider it and if it is written it will be dedicated to you :)

The radio blasted to wake me up. As usual I jolted out of bed and started my usual routine and to sing along with the radio

"If today was your last day

And tomorrow was too late

Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

Would you live each moment like your last?

Leave old pictures in the past

Donate every dime you have?

If today was your last day"

I sang to the music. I rushed around to get ready for school. I wore a pair of jeans a blue hoodie and my usual black and red ice hounds jacket along with some white/grey Nikes. I looked at the clock and noticed I wasn't going to make it on time. I quickly brushed my teeth grabbed my phone and headphones and stuffed them in my bag.

One thing about me most people don't know is that I love music. Before every hockey game I use it to get me ready and it has proved to be useful I can also sing pretty decently but I've never sung in public and don't plan to.

"CAM HURRY UP!" My mother called from downstairs.

"COMING!" I shouted back turning off the radio.

Every day was the same old thing. Get up, get ready, go to the caf before class, be ten minutes late for one of various reasons my team causes, go to class all day, have girls follow me (not as great as it sounds), get in trouble for the notes I am passed, get detention, get excused for practice, go home, go to hockey game (not every night), go home, do homework, sleep and repeat.

"I made waffles and bacon. You have a big game tonight and you need energy."

"Thanks ma but I'm already late."

"Want me to drive you then?" she asked

"Sounds great." I smiled and checked my bag for everything I need then grabbed a slice of bacon.

"Let's go." She said jingling the keys in her hand in front of my face noticing I was dazing off.

When I arrived at school I was instantly greeted by many people.

"Ready for the game tonight Rookie?" Dallas asked me as he did every time.

"You know it!" I said with as much power as I could, but I was freaking exhausted.

"What I like to here!" he pulled me over to the caf as usual. The rest of my team talked as I listened to my music. The same song from the radio earlier this morning was on and I wanted to sing to it but it wasn't something I did in public.

Truth is for a jock I am as shy as they come. I also get very nervous and am not social as everyone wants me to be. I usually keep to myself or with my team.

"Hey Cam." Some random cheerleader walked passed me.

"Dude, she is hot. Go." Dallas insisted

"No, I've told you cheerleaders are too… typical." More like I don't see the idea of sleeping with a girl because you can, I wish puck bunnies didn't exist.

"They can be a little too peppy." Owen added, which is odd seeing as he was dating one last year.

"Alright, how bout her?" Luke pointed to some girl with curly blond hair, I think a senior.

"No." he looked at me like I was insane.

"You seen to have a fascination with blonds you go." This caused the team to erupt with laughter.

"Okay." He smirked. Ughh, why did I say that?

/

My radio woke me as it did every morning. I threw on a pair of blue skinny jeans and a one shoulder grey top with a hot pink music note over my stomach on it and my converse. I brushed my hair and left it naturally straight.

"Ready to go?" Katie asked grabbing her car keys.

"As ready as possible."

This semester we got a new hockey team and I hate them, they act like they own the school and think they can just sleep with whatever girl they want it's sickening. The only one on the team that I have met is the captain, Dallas well and Owen but he is my friend's brother so I knew him before he was on the team.

My sister Katie hates them too. They destroyed the rooftop garden she made because Dallas was mad at her, I swear they do whatever he says but anyway there are a few things about Katie you should know. Katie used to be a soccer star but had to get knee surgery and can't play anymore and she had to go to rehab for being a drug addict, prescription drugs anyway, not like cocaine or anything crazy. She also can go a little crazy with revenge and got herself kicked off student council after she used a pep rally to get back at her ex-boyfriend but that is a long story I don't need to get into.

We arrived at Degrassi and headed over to the caf to meet up with our friends. One our way there Principal Simpson stopped us.

"Katie you are heading over to the cafeteria right?" she nodded. "Can you give this to Campbell Saunders for me I am running late for a meeting." She nodded again.

Campbell Saunders, I hate that name. Tori does not shut up about him and I hate it, just because he is the youngest on his team everyone loves him. Ughh

"I feel bad. you have to go over there."

"No, I feel bad for you. He is being transferred to your French class." Say WHAT!

"You're kidding." She shook her head.

"Sorry, he missed his French credit last year and they want him to take it this semester." She showed me the paper and I groaned.

"Just great."

We walked in and saw the hockey guys at one table. Some slutty blond girl walked by waving at Cam but instead of humoring her like the rest do he just rolled his eyes and the others questioned this as well. A few seconds later one of them, Luke I think, went over to some other blond.

"Good luck." Katie walked over to the table.

"The girl with the dragon tattoo returns to me." Dallas smirked.

"Not here to talk to you." She rolled her eyes. "Principal Simpson told me to give you this" she looked over at Cam.

He took the paper. "And since you probably can't read at a third grade level it says you have to take ninth grade French." I could tell she was expecting some kind of crazy response.

"I can read just fine and thanks." He said normally, no sarcasm or anything just like a normal human being.

"bye." She walked over to Marisol and Cam put the headphones he had around his neck over his ears.

"Maya!" Tori called over to me.

"Hi, Tristan I just found out Campbell Saunders is in our French class." I groaned.

Tori squealed. "You're so lucky, he's so hot." Typical Tori.

"I know!" Tristan agreed.

"Hello, boyfriend right here." Zig interrupted their happy fit.

"Sorry but it's true. Why is a sophomore in ninth grade French though?" she asked me and I shrugged my shoulders.

"Probably too stupid to pass." I'm not usually mean like that but with those guys, I'm probably right.

"Actually I had hockey, and you are the second person to assume I'm an idiot today and school hasn't even started." He walked off. Oops, that was a little mean but come on, the other guys are idiots.

The bell rang and I was off to class for the day.

The day went on normally until the last period… French.

I don't know what happened to me, when Cam was put into a group with me I turned into my sister.

/

Today was horrible for me. Not only could I barely stay awake but everyone apparently thinks I am an idiot because I'm a jock. Now I have French with the blond girl and Owens's younger brother, Tristan. I find it odd that Owen acts like such a homophobe when his brother is gay. I feel bad for Tristan, I mean his own brother! He does have a group of friends though, so he's doing better than me. My team expects me to be like them but I'm shy and I get nervous easily, it's who I am.

"Campbell you need a group." My teacher tells me and I get assigned to Tristan's group which has that girl in it. Just great.

"Hi, I'm Tristan." He greets.

"Cam, aren't you Owens's younger brother?" he nodded. "And you are…."

"Maya." She spat. Wow this girl hates me, what did I do?

"Well let's get started, and honestly I am not very good with French so I guess you were right Maya." Wow that came out really wrong.

"Did I miss something?" Tristan blurts.

"She apparently hates me and we have an assignment to do and I really don't want to fail this class so let's get started.

"Why if you fail you won't graduate?" I knew her sister had an attitude but damn this is not right.

"Never mind, I'll work alone." I sat down and started the work.

"Hey, I'm sorry." Did I hear her right?

"It's just the hockey team, not to be mean but the rest of them are just horrible human beings." Finally a girl who understands.

"And you assumed I was like them, it happens. I have to be honest I was a ittle happy about what you said in the caf. Some girls in this school need a self-esteem boost." She let out a small snicker.

"Welcome to Degrassi." Okay so she isn't that bad, not like I can see her outside of this class though. I'm always with the team and she hates them, this sucks.

/

I finally regained my personality and managed to apologize. He accepted and the rest of class went well, and I learned a lot about Cam. He is pretty far away from home but at least his family moved with him. I think we could be friends but I know Katie won't let me within 100 feet of him. At least we have French.

Hope you liked it :) chapter 2 coming soon!
