CHAPTER 1: THE START OF SOMETHING NEW

Tyler James never really knew his mother she passed away when he was three, but sometimes he hears he give him advice and shows him the right path which he is grateful for. He strongly believes in god, which in his last school he was bullied for, hopefully Degrassi will be different. His father is Mark James a famous hockey player in the NHL. He was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs from the Los Angeles Kings. Of course he was going to miss home but he heard that his new school had a great arts program and a hockey team that had a good chance at getting into the playoffs this year. Tyler's hockey skills were amazing he was already being looked at by the NHL (with the help from his dad of course). But he had a secret that he never told anyone except for his former girlfriend who was back in LA. He loved music any form, he believe that music either listening to it or creating it was a way to release stress go, leave the problems for just 3 minutes and relax. He had been taking Guitar, Drums, piano and vocal lessons, he told his dad that he was going to the gym but really he went to the local music shop and looked at the new instruments.

He wanted to impress everyone at school today so he got up early and got to work. Picking out the clothes that he bought yesterday, he knew that the first day of school was the worst so why not look good on the worst day.

"Dad I am off to school" Tyler yelled at his dad

"Alright have fun son, don't get beat up to much" he said with a smile on his face.

"Funny" he said as he walked out of the door

He got into his BMW (having a father in the NHL had its perks sometimes) and started to drive to school

When he entered the school parking lot everyone was looking his way, he smiled and parked his car, put on a brave face and got out. He noticed girls admiring him as we walked into the front entrance of his new school.

"Aw Mr. James welcome to Degrassi, we expect a lot of great things from you. I am Principal Simpson" He said

"It's nice to meet you sir" Tyler said

"Here is your schedule, your first class is Chemistry it's just down the hall to your left and your locker is number 3427, good luck" Principal Simpson said

"Thanks I'll need it" He said as he started to walk down the hall.

He walked into the chemistry class room and took a seat, a bunch of guy's form the hockey team knew exactly who he was and walked towards him and introduced themselves. They all started talking and pumping each other for tonight's game against East Hill High.

He looked up and realized that it was lunch 'wow that went by fast he thought to himself. As he was walking down the hall he heard music. He followed the sounds and entered the auditorium. He sees a blonde girl she was pretty and a very good singer.

"That's Jenna she is one of the best singers in this school" said a boy who was wearing all black

"She's amazing" Tyler replied

"My name is Eli Goldsworthy" he said

"Tyler James" he said

"Oh yeah the hot new hockey player that is suppose to lead the team to the playoffs"

"Is that what they calling me? Well I hope I don't disappoint that would just be embarrassing"

They both laughed and started talking about the musical.

Becky's POV

Oh man Jenna is going to kill me because I am late. She walks into the room when she spots a hockey player, what is a hockey player doing in the auditorium? He looks like he is about to leave he turns around. Becky is taken back for a sec, he is gorgeous! He had brown hair that was styled like Justin Bieber's old hair and baby blue eyes. She looks away because she told herself that she won't fall for another jock after that the whole Shane ordeal.

Tyler's POV

As he says his goodbyes he turns around and see the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, he realized that he was staring and looked away, he could not afford a crush he had to focus on hockey! Only hockey!
