Oh yay! Another fun year at high school. I thought sarcastically to myself as I pulled into the parking lot of Degrassi. I don't even understand why I have to go to high school, I could just do home school on tour. Then instead of only doing 2 month summer tours I could tour year round. That would be the life. To bad my father thinks that, that would turn me into a druggie whore. Thanks a lot Lindsay Lohan, you made being famous a gateway drug, now my father won't let me have any fun. I was deep in thought as I made my way up the stairs and into the building.
Hopefully this year won't be too bad. I can just get in get out and get on my way. Luckily I just have to do it this year, and next year then I'm done, so long high school, hello full time touring. I smiled at the thought while I walked into the main office. I had an appointment with the principal, he was going to show me around the school so I'd know where to go on my first day.
"Can I help you young lady?" the school secretary asked me as I approached her desk.
"Yes I have an appointment with Principal Simpson, I'm a new student here at Degrassi." I smiled at her even thought this was the last place I wanted to be. Now don't get me wrong, I'm good at school, I'm smart and social, I do really love school. I just love my music more.
"Name please?" She asked while looking back at her computer screen.
"Evelyn Chuck, but I go by Evy." I smiled at the woman.
"Ah Miss. Chuck glad you see you. I'm Principal Simpson." A tall slender man walled out from the back office. He extended his hand fir me to shake. I took it and smiled at him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Principal Simpson." I took his hand and shook it firmly.
"Actually from what I've seen the pleasure is all mine. I reviewed your transcripts, just remarkable, we're lucky to have you." He gushed.
"Thank you sir." he released my hand and then lead me out of the office.
The next twenty minutes consisted of him showing me where all the bathrooms and drinking fountains were located, where the gym, and the drama room was; classes were currently in session so he couldn't show me much. Lastly he showed me my locker.
"Here you are" he handed me a slip of paper with the combination to my locker written on it in blue pen.
I tried it out a few times, just to make sure I had it, then we started our assent up the stairs. It was here that he told me the most horrifying thing I'd ever heard.
"Oh and we'll need your measurements for your uniform." That stopped me dead in my tracks. Uniform? Had I joined the cheerleading squad while I was sleep walking or something? I mean WTF? I instantly thought.
"Uniforms sir?" I questioned, looking up at him from the 3rd stair from the top.
"Yes, every student at Degrassi is required to wear a uniform." Perfect, this place just went from barely manageable to total suck-town.
Just then the bell rang right into my left ear.
"Ow." I placed my hand over my throbbing ear as students poured from classrooms. The uniforms weren't as bad as I thought they were going to be. When I hear uniform I tend to think of ugly plaid Catholic schoolgirl skirts, and frumpy sweater vests, but these were just different colored polo shirts with khaki pants. I stuck out like a sore thumb in my light blue/green tank top, black skinny jeans, and combat boots ( .com/chuck/set?id=29412852 ) but I didn't really care.
I then looked out into the sea of people, who were now my new classmates. One boy in particular stood out from the rest. Mainly because he wasn't in uniform, but instead he was clad in an all black outfit.
"Is he new here as well?" I assumed that the boy was simply a new student who hadn't received him uniform yet.
"Nope, just a trouble maker. Eli!" he yelled at the boy who had an apple resting between his teeth. He looked up at Simpson in surprise at first, and then in amusement. Simpson motioned for the boy to come to him. He started his descent down the stairs, so I just followed the authority figure to the bottom where Eli was waiting.
"Whatcha need Simpson?" he said freeing the apple from his lips.
"It's Principal Simpson, Eli your already on thin ice, now I expect you to be in uniform tomorrow." He said sternly. Eli only smirk and nodded his head.
"Good, now get to your next class." he commanded, with less forebodingness.
"I will, but first who might this be?" he questioned looking over at me.
"Evelyn Chuck, but I go by Evy." I smiled and extended my hand for him to shake.
"Nice to meet you Evy, as Principal Simpson pointed out earlier, I'm Eli." he shook my hand and smiled a crooked and undeniably attractive smile.
"Your also going to be late. Now get to class." Simpson warned.
"Alright, I'm going. See you around Evy." he waved goodbye and then was off.
"So what do you think?" Simpson asked, obviously referring to the school.
"I think this year has the potential to be enjoyable." I said referring to the school , as well as other things. *Cough* Eli *Cough Cough*
