Prologue part one aka Day 1

Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi, but I won't post this on other chapters because it's a waste of time. If I owned Degrassi, I wouldn't be writing stories as fanfiction, I'd be too busy writing episode scripts.

I think everybody has that one solely perfect moment in life where everything just feels… like all the pain and emotional endeavors were worth it. Heh, I sound like my mother. She always told me of "the perfect moment". It was when my older sister Darcy was born. Darcy was born an angel in disguise; she was destined for great things, and I am not even good enough to be her shadow despite all her mistakes. How she was stalked by some random guy and I had to call the cops, how she was raped (god how I hate that word, every time it makes me shiver), and her drunken rebellion. Despite all this, she was better. I did nothing wrong, I guess it's just harder to love a second babe when you already love the first one so much…. And when she isn't gorgeous.

"Clare, Darcy's on the phone, she wants to talk to you!"

Oh did I mention the fact Darcy tried to kill herself? Yeah, I think it's why she moved. Yeah, she moved to Kenya, to make up for her mistakes. She's always like "I feel so good, Clare, you have no idea! It's so exhilarating! I think I've finally redeemed myself in the kingdom of heaven…."

I guess I just had to vent it out somewhere. Anyway, my name is Clare D Edwards, or as I secretly call myself, Clarity Edwards. Yeah, I'm kind of lame, but with all this pressure to be beautiful like Darcy, it's a bit hard. I'm not model thin, my hair is always always a mess, and I'm short. On the other hand, I used to look like a nerd in a school uniform, long hair, and glasses. God looking at old pictures makes me cry…. How could I have been so boring?

I saw a hand wave in front of me, I guess I got lost in thought. I grabbed the phone, and regretted the sorrowful tone I used to say hey. I love Darcy, but she's like a fox. I felt like she could smell the drama, even from what would seem like millions of miles away. I sighed and told her about this summer, and my horrible high school experiences.

"Whatever happened to you, Saint Clare? Well no wonder mom and dad are fighting, just listen to yourself!" I used a few profanities to emphasize how much my ex, KC, hurt me by cheating on me with the "slutty bitch of an EX bestfriend" Jenna who later went to spread rumors or something. I also mentioned how my old friend Wesley touched my boobs today, and how I was so confused…. (a/n: frick chris you suck, even when I write it gets stuck in my head .) I listened to my sister drone on. After a while I just hung up, I was so exhausted, and I honestly don't think she'd notice now that it was her turn to talk.

Its amazing how well one can sleep when they're trying to escape from their life, but sadly I had to get up and face another day. As I got up and yawned, I smiled. Today I would get Jenna back. I mean, who does that? Steal boyfriends AND spread rumors? I put on Darc's v-neck and skirt from when she went to degrassi, put in earrings and other accessories all the "slutty girls" usually wore. I even over did my make up. I'm not saying Alli's a slut because she over does her make up, but she's the only exception to be proven "innocent" as far as I've seen. Hell even this make up guru from church is always trying to hit on my dad. It makes me mad because we're all trying so hard to keep it together. How much longer can I hold all this in?

I got to school, and Alli met me at my locker. She looked me up and down, smiling. If I didn't know better, I would have thought she was gay by how excited it got her. Our eyes met and I could tell she knew my plan. We went into the bathroom, and I went inside my vampire fan fiction book to grab socks. I shoved them down my shirt and skipped merrily to gym, where the guys, including my evil ex KC, were sitting around the bleachers.

"You shouldn't be so pathetic! If this is just some lame attempt to get KC back, then you can forget it!" Jenna yelled at me. I smirked, amused at her naivety. If you're gunna eaves drop, at least hear the whole thing! I let her go on, but eventually I got bored and interrupted her.

"You know what, your right. I don't need these," I said as I removed the socks and pushed them in her hands," and if I wanted KC back, I'd already have him. I wouldn't have to do anything." She stood there, dumb founded, and the boys looked a bit disappointed. I guess, even as exhilarating as it was, so was I because nobody even noticed that I wasn't wearing glasses.

Finally, it was the end of the day, and still no compliments on my real sugery, eye surgery. I was really frustrated, and attempted to put my glasses on since apparently it didn't make a difference to anybody, when Alli got upset and grabbed my glasses. All of a sudden, everything was in slow motion, and my glasses flew right out of Alli's hand and landed right on the road.

CRUNCH! It was ironic. A hearse ran over my glasses. It immediately stopped of course and a pair of hot black skinnies stuck out the side of the door, followed by the really cute top half of the owner. He retrieved my now broken glasses, and handed them to me.

"I think they're dead," yeah the hearse thing was definetly ironic now.

"Its, it's okay. I got surgery," this kid was really really cute, which made me nervous. I tried to look down but he caught my eyes.

"You have really pretty eyes," he said. I lightly blushed. Finally, today was complete. He might not have noticed, and I think he was too new to know anyways, but at least I got a compliment.

"I'll see you around?" I asked curiously. Kinda a stupid question, but I felt like something more had to be said, and I was never one to say "good bye". He told me he probably would, then drove away.

Insomnia. I had it all my life, on and off. Sometimes I would never wake up, and sometimes I couldn't even escape. Tonight I just plain couldn't sleep. I could only think of the skinny jean wearing hearse driver. He smirked at me! And those amazingly emerald orbs…. How could he have been complimenting mine! When I looked into them, they were mysterious but playful. I didn't even know his name and already he was always on my mind…..

Author's Notes: This is my crappy cliché prologue part 1, since I feel awkward not doing it even though we all basically know this stuff, minus my few spins to keep it classy and interesting. Clare might seem ooc, but degrassi was never a show to tell you what the person thinks, and thoughts, words, and actions can vary just… incredibly. I also find it kind of short, but its almost 3am and I leave from dad's to mom's tomorrow. I'll try to update soon, and hopefully I won't abandon this project…. . It should be easier because it's a casual obsession, not a phase like Inuyasha xD anime nerd oh and on a final note, I looooove music, and a hella lots of it, so stuff like that will probably appear from time to time to a lot. From the goo goo dolls to my personal favorites like black veil brides my chemical romance and the red jumpsuit apparatus. If their songs annoy you, you can leave now. Thanks for reading, don't forget to R&R I wanna see how well I did at this
