Chapter 1

Dead Glasses

Heavy metal music was pouring out of the new black hearse on campus as its number one passenger shunned it all out with the upbeat tunes of Pink.

"Ladadadada, ladadadada, ladadada, dada, ladadada," Ariel sung, bopping her head side to side. "Alright sir, sure I'll have another one it's early. Three olives shake up I like it dirty."

"What the hell are you listening to over there?" Eli raised his eyebrow while steering Morty towards the parking lot.

Ariel looked over at her brother and removed her headphones. "Something I like to call a little bad influence." She smiled before putting back on the music-blasting headphones.

Eli rolled his eyes and cranked up the volume of the metal music. "Well I hope this won't bother you."

"Damn it Eli!" Ariel thought while cutting her eyes at her obnoxious brother. She turned off her iPod right before noticing something was ran over by Morty. She looked around the path and only saw two girls who looked incredibly stunned.

"Nice driving Einstein," Ariel muttered sarcastically.

Eli shot his sister a look before stepping out of the hearse. The girl with the cute curly bob stood there while Eli reached down by Morty's tire to pick up her smashed glasses.

"I think they're dead." He handed the glasses to the curly-headed girl.

"Uh, it-it's okay. I, uh, don't need them anymore. I got laser surgery," The girl said with a slight blush.

The conversation went dead for a second before Eli broke the silence. "You have pretty eyes," He grinned.

The curly-headed girl looked down and grinned. "Thanks. So I guess I'll see you around?"

"I guess you will," Eli replied before climbing back into the driver seat of his hearse. Ariel was in complete shock as they took off. Words couldn't even make out what she saw, she just only knew.

"Oh my knicker noodles! Eli, what was that back there?" She nearly jumped with excitement.

"No need to be lying on cloud nine, sis. Nothing's going to happened here at Degrassi, I told you that."

Ariel sighed. "I know, but this is a new start for us. When we left our old school, we were suppose to leave all of our overwhelming baggage behind and not bring it along with us. That was the plan, why aren't you sticking to each?"

Eli pulled into an empty parking space with no words to be spoken. He cut the engine off and lied back in his sit.

"Because sometimes," He paused, "you might have too much baggage to let go of. And it just sits there on your shoulder, weighing you down with no way of getting it off."

Eli studied the steering wheel while placing one hand on top of it. "Sometimes, I wish I could just take back everything I'd did. Then maybe I wouldn't feel like—,"

"Alright, just stop! Stop it right now." Ariel plugged in her ears. "You are not and I repeat not going to do this here. I understand this is the atmosphere for mourning and all that emo crap, but we have school to go to and I refuse to be late because of the remorse of your dead ex."

Ariel gathered all her things and opened the car door ready to get out. She looked over at her frozen brother and frowned.

"Come on, I didn't mean it like that. I just wish you would let go of the past Eli and move on." She apologized.

Eli sighed heavily and said, "Whatever, just don't ever try to apologize again. You suck at it."

"Well give me credit for trying," She grinned. "Now come Emo boy, Degrassi awaits!"

After another sigh, Eli grabbed his backpack and got out the hearse. Ariel walked over to his side and gave him a hopeful smile. Eli returned the smile and soon the two of them were heading off to main entrance of their new school known as Degrassi.

Meanwhile, a girl of a rather quirky appearance shadows the Goldsworthy siblings from afar— watching and observing their every move.
