AN: Ok so it's back. I took it off so I could have a chance to manage the chapters and make it better. Hopefully it's better now. But this chapter is still exactly the same. If you don't like it, don't read it.
My name is Sophie Rose Goldsworthy and I go to Degrassi High School. I'm in the 11th grade and am 16 years old. I used to go to privet school, but my mother thought that I should start high school at Degrassi and get some Degrassi spirit… ugh… Of course my parents fought over me changing schools. My dad, the sensible one, thought I should stay at my old school, but my mother demanded. Both my parents went to Degrassi. They are complete opposites! It's a wonder they aren't divorced… but here they are married 15 years. They fight a lot. They'll have a fight and then my dad will be gone for a little while. But he always comes back. I'm not sure why, but he always does. My dad is a horror writer, my mom is a lawyer. My mom writes a bit too, and my dad always wanted her to co-write a story with him, but she always had a reason not to. The year she finally said she would, was the year I went to my first scary movie. I was thirteen and apparently there was a great new scary movie playing. My dad planned to take me.
"It'll be awesome!" he said "Just you and me, what do you think?"
Naturally I was thrilled because getting to spend time with just my dad wasn't too common for me. The night we planned to go however, my mom threw a fit,
"For God's sake Eli, she's only thirteen!" She said to my dad angrily.
"Yeah, so," he replied "It's rated PG-13."
My mom started to say something else but my dad was already out the door keys in hand, me in tow. We got into his car and drove off, my mom watching us from the door shaking her head. I knew a hurricane was waiting for my dad, and so did he, but that didn't seem to stop him. He bought me a large popcorn, and lots of candy I knew I wouldn't eat. But he was so happy to have me alone, to himself. It was likewise with me. The movie didn't start out so bad, but as it went on, it got scarier, and scarier. Near the end I just kept my eyes closed. When it was over, on the way to the car my dad asked
"So what did you think?"
"It was horrible!" I replied. My dad's face fell a little. When we were in the car I added "But, I loved it!" And he smiled. It was a lie, but I just wanted to make my dad happy, something I saw he rarely was.
That night my mom had to sit at the end of my bed until I fell asleep, like I was a four year old because I was so scared. My mom never said I told you so, but I could tell she thought it. So moving on, I'm only going to explain a couple more things. My mom was 16 when she had me and my dad was 17. When my dad graduated he took night classes at the community college, so my mom could go to school during the day. My dad took one year of these classes but then my mom graduated and he quit. While my mother attended law school he was a full time Dad. When my dad was gone, I'd stay with my grandparents on my dad's side. That's another thing, I've never met my mother's parents. One day I asked my dad about why and he explained that my grandparents had disowned my mom when they found out she was pregnant and that it was really hard for my mom to talk about. I promised I wouldn't bring it up again.
Snapping back to the present. I've gone to Degrassi since freshman year, and I mean I can handle it. I have friends, and a life there. Little did I know that in the middle of my junior year, Tyson Guthrie would change everything.
