Most of the schools were closed today except for Degrassi. The snow had been starting to get bad, but apparently not bad enough for the school to be closed down today or tomorrow. If it wouldn't be closed down by tomorrow then it would definitely be closed down within the week.

"Back to you Barbara with more news," the preppy weather women said. I sighed and looked around at the empty house. It's still the weekday so my mom was probably upstairs preparing her outfit for tomorrows usual church meeting.

On that cue my mom yelled from upstairs, "Clare, is there still school tomorrow?"

"Yes, apparently there's still not enough snow out there," I called out sarcastically. My mom trotted down the stairs in her robe and sat down beside me. "Well, what's one more day? It wont kill you and I'm sure school will be closed down soon enough." She pushed a strand of hair from my face and looked at the TV.

"Apparently a serial killer has just killed a group of college students from Seattle Washington. Police say that the killer is most likely to head up north to Canada to try and escape U.S. law enforcement. If you see this man," the news anchor paused as the sketch drawing of what they thought was the killer, appeared on the screen, "Please notify the authorities if you see any strange activities or see a man that resembles this picture. Coming back we'll talk about how the seasons Christmas shopping has people in the holiday spirit and on the new internet sensation people think will be the next best thing."

The TV screen suddenly went blank and my mom tapped my leg as she got up. "Time for bed Clare-Bear." I yawned and stretched as I followed my mom up the stairs and into my room.


I groaned when the bell rang and I realized that I still had detention to get to. I watched as all the other kids packed up there things and cheerfully headed home to their awaiting warm houses. Someone's hands suddenly shielded my eyes and blocked my vision. I giggled and reached for none other than Eli's hands and turned to him. He leaned in for a quick kiss but I recoiled.

"Didn't you learn your lesson the first time Mr. Goldsworthy? We tried to sneak in a quick kiss but look what that got us, a nice ticket into detention," I said.

"How much more trouble can we get into," he said as he leaned in again. I tried to back away as much as possible before I hit the locker and instead gave in.

"Can you guys try and not be gross," Adam called out to our attention, "I already have to spend two more hours with you guys."

Eli ruffled Adam's hair playfully. "Don't be jealous, just because Fiona isn't around."

I giggled and held out both my hands for them to take. They both gladly took my invitation and we all started to make our way to the cafeteria. All three of us suddenly stopped dead in our tracks when we saw the last person we expected to see. Principal Simpson was walking down with Fitz toward his office.

"Please wait for me in my office, I'll be here to talk some other matters with you," he told Fitz when he saw the three of us. Fitz face didn't look angry but instead he had a solemn face, almost a face of forgiveness. As though, he realized the errors of his ways. I looked over at Eli and I wish I could say the same for him, I mean I wasn't happy either to see him but I cant be on bad terms with him forever. We continued our way into the lonely cafeteria, only to find Bianca already sitting on a nearby table with Simpson waiting for us.

"You four are going to help clean the cafeteria as your detention and if you finish early, don't think its an excuse to wonder the halls, I want all four of you in this room. Please give me your cell phones and I'll return them to you later," Simpson instructed sternly. We all nodded and I heard Bianca mumble something about having to spend her time with weird losers. As soon as Simpson left, we got to work, not one of us really wanting to start up conversation.

After what felt like forever of having to clean up the cafeteria, the announcement on the TV with Simpson suddenly came on. "For those of you still left inside the school, I want to inform you that the light snow fall has turned into something much worse and we are now snowed in and advised to stay indoors for the remainder of it. I already informed some of your parents but whoever needs a phone, you can come use the schools phone in the office. Other than that, I want you all to report to the library to count off how many students are remaining in the school." The screen went blank and we all looked at each other.

"Great," Bianca said miserably, "I'm stuck inside this stupid school. I was suppose to meet Ron-Ron later." She picked up her bag and walked out of the cafeteria.

"Not that I don't mind spending time with you guys but this isn't exactly what I want to be doing right now," Adam whined.

"Well as long as I'm with you I'm okay," Eli said as he put his arm around my waist. Adam groaned even louder and both Eli and I laughed.

All of a sudden someone screamed, piercing the calm air and we all rushed over to the main entrance where the sound came from. When we got there Bianca was laughing to and pointing at the door. I looked at the door and saw Alli and Peter knocking and shivering uncontrollably.

"We can let her freeze her ass off for all I care," she mocked.

"Of course not Bianca, we have to go get Simpson and tell him to open the doors because they're locked," Eli said, all the same trying to open the doors.

"I'll go get him," Adam volunteered. He ran down the hall and out of sight.

I could hear Bianca snicker and laugh every once and a while. Sure she was mad for the things that Alli did, but no one deserved to be outside, suffering in the bitter cold. Simpson quickly came around the corner, Adam trailing behind, and he quickly took out his keys to open the door. At the same time, students that still remained appeared to see what the whole commotion was about.

As soon as Simpson opened the door, Alli and Peter rushed inside to the warm room temperatures of Degrassi. Both didn't say a word as there teeth and bodies shivered uncontrollably. I rushed over to Alli and draped my sweater around her as if to try to help. I hugged her and also tried to help with my body heat. Fiona suddenly appeared with two towels and gave it to Peter and the other to Alli.

"Do you want to tell me what exactly you two were doing outside in this crazy weather?" Simpson asked frantically.

"I was at t-the Dot when the news claimed that t-there was going to be some sort of b-blizzard going and advised us to stay indoors. B-both me and Peter thought we'd make it home if w-we left right away but we didn't make it f-far and decided that s-school would be much c-closer," Alli tried to explain.

"Well you guys are okay now, I guess." Simpson let out a sigh and walked them both to the library as we all followed, a little shocked.
