A/N: Okay… I'm about to freak out this is the first chapter of my first fanfic!!! I'm really sorry if I don't update on time but I was thinking I'd post short stories, one chapter, mostly of the smut variety (If I decide I'm capable of writing it). So this story might at some point be rated M or it might stay T. I'm droning on now so if you're still reading this sorry!!!

Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi or any of the characters besides my OC!!! But don't get me wrong, I really wish I did!

Ch.1-Normal?

"Hey when's the Lit essay do?"

"You see the game last night?"

"I'm gonna fail!"

"What? That class is so easy!" Riley sat, listening and occasionally joining the mindless chatter. Joking with his fellow jocks about sport, girls, and teachers. They were sitting in the back of Mr. Simpson's class waiting for first period to start.

"Good Morning Degrassi!" Holly J.'s voice came from the TV speakers for the morning announcements. Though barely anyone paid attention as usual. The announcements ended quickly, there wasn't much going on today it was just… 'Normal' Riley thought. Everyday was usually a 'normal' day. Each day went past as a blur lately. It was always the same routine go to school, have lunch, baseball and wrestling, then (oh joy) anger management. After all that he would just do whatever.

Mr. Simpson cleared his throat. "Class can I have your attention?" some people turned to look; Riley continued to talk about how the Shep's new attitude was slowly disappearing.

"I'm glad. When ever he said something nice it creeped me out." Riley added.

"Yeah" Derek agreed, some others from the group nodded.

"We have a new student." Riley could hear Mr. Simpson in the background. "Would you like to introduce yourself?"

"Sure. I'm Daren Clay." That name broke through to Riley clear as day. The name was ringing in his head and his eyes shot wide open He turned to see.

"Daren?" Riley whispered to himself, almost as if to Daren, in disbelief when he saw the boy standing in front of the class. He turned back around with a frozen and emotionless look on his face.

"Riley?" Bruce asked in the seat right of Riley. "Hello? What's your problem man?" He continued, waving his hand in Riley's face. He nudged Derek, who was sitting behind him, to get his attention then he faked like he was going to punch his face.

"Huh?" Riley snapped out of it, swinging his head back. Bruce laughed with Derek.

"Daren take a seat next to Bruce. Bruce raise you hand."

Bruce crossed his arms glaring at Daren. "Why does the newbie have to sit over here?"

"That would be Bruce" Mr. Simpson sighed. Daren walked over to his seat. Riley starred at his computer while trying to hide his face as Daren walked by.

"Hey" Daren greeted Bruce, while sitting down, who just grunted. "You play?" Daren asked pointing to the football on Bruce's backpack. "I played at my old school to bad the season's over."

'Normal' Riley thought.


A/N: Soooooooooooo??? Did you like it? Was it good? If not I promise it will get better and future chapters will be longer. I know I didn't explain what Daren looks like. Its in the next chapter but don't try to imagine him. Just see Riley with a shocked look on him face kay???

"Why does the newbie have to sit over here?" hahahaa... newbie
