Chapter One: Introducing Michaela Raymond
The first day of the new year- Degrassi Community School was all set up. Outside, tons of people were reacquainting after the seemingly short but long summer. Kids were throwing footballs and Frisbees, while others played guitars on the stairs. Coming up the street was JT on his skateboard, with Kendra coming behind him. He picked it up once he saw Mr. Raditch in the courtyard and ran into the doors of his new high school. As he headed towards his new locker assignment, he spotted Toby. "Toby!" JT called, " Welcome to the rest of our lives!" Toby rolled his eyes as his unloaded his supplies into his new locker. "JT, we're only in grade 9. It's not a big deal!" "Excuse me? We're in high school, Toby!"
JT gave that I-give-up look to Toby and looked down the hallway. His eyes widened. "Whoa!"
Toby looked over and his eyes widened; the two did not blink and their jaws hit the floor.
Across the hall was a new girl that was not there the previous year. She was fairly short - only 5'2"- and had long brown hair that whipped around her head. She continued towards Toby and JT. She looked at her schedule, then to her right, to find her new locker- right new to Toby's.
"Hi," she head, turning to the two googly-eyed boys. Toby and JT started to stutter a little bit. " I-I'm JT." He nudged Toby. "Toby Isaacs. That's-um-me..." She smiled. " I'm Michaela. I'm new here."
JT gave that smile of his. "Would you maybe like me to show you around?" "No, that's okay. Can someone tell me where Mr. Simpson's room is?" "Room 129!" Toby and JT darted in unison. Michaela laughed. "Thanks!" She turned away.
