Lemmie know what you guys think. It's my first attempt at writing a Degrassi Fanfic. I hope you guys like it. I also hope I captured the characters' voices pretty closely. REVIEW!
Being a transfer student is never easy, and I knew it would only be harder because I was moving to the school with the worst reputation in Canada. Degrassi Community High school and it's students have been in the news more times than my dad, and he was a Florida state senator. Thanks to dad I got in towards the end of the semester and missed half a year's worth of stuff.
"Good-morning Degrassi, Principal Simpson here with a quick announcement. We have a new transfer student from the states. His name is Noah Clark and I expect you all to make him feel welcome. Noah, do you have anything to say?"asked the sweaty man who had his arm around my shoulder.
"Hi. I'm Noah Clark. I guess I'm excited to be here until I graduate next year. I look forward to meeting people, I guess. So, yeah."
"Thank you very much Noah. Now onto other announcements. The lunch in the cafeteria has been changed to..." the man went on about school lunches and other school issues.
As I left the small glass room where the announcements were recorded a tall Indian boy and a scowling strawberry blond girl walked up to me. I swear I saw some red mixed in with the blue in her eyes. "Hi, I'm Sav Bhandari, your student council president. I just wanted to welcome you to Degrassi."
"Thanks, it's nice to see a little hospitality in a place like this," I say looking from him, to the girl, and back.
"What do you mean 'a place like this'?" asked the girl, still wearing her scowl.
"Well you know, this school has a reputation. Even us kids from the states know how bad it is here. You know: hazing on the football team, shootings, out of control dances. It's a shame really, it looks like such a nice school," I explained.
"Degrassi is a fine school thank you very much. I wasn't student council president last year for nothing," said the girl angrily as she turned and stomped away.
"Wow, umm okay then. Sorry I insulted her I guess. Who the heck is she anyway?" I asked.
"That is Holly J. Sinclair. She was student council president when Degrassi earned it's 'reputation'", Sav explained.
"Well I guess I see who the queen bee is around here. I hope that scowl isn't permanent," I said with a chuckle. "How did she get elected anyway?" The look on Sav's faced went from warm to disgust. "Oh my god, you two are... I'm so sorry." I said as he turned around and walked after Holly. I hadn't even gone to my first class and I already stuck my foot in my mouth. This is going to be a long year I thought to myself as I headed to my first class.
