Nothing is ever what it seems
Chapter 1
I am a guy like any other; I have not done anything quite special or heroic in my lifetime. Most of my time I have been letting myself flow into the river of life but not really adding my own rhythm.
Maybe I should start this differently, my name is Elijah Goldsworthy and I have been going to Degrassi for two years now. I am in the tenth grade and my best friends are Clare and Adam who are also in the same grade as I. Together the three of us make the misfits, we are all very different but it feels good when we're together because I'm able to be myself without any criticism. But I also have other friends which include Fitz, Bianca, and Owen. They're how do you say it…part of the same clique that I am in school. We all wear dark clothes and walk the Degrassi halls as if we are the shit.
Although Fitz, Bianca, and Owen do some crazy stuff, I find no joy in those games that they like to play. They have done drugs and lately formed an addiction to smoking. I've neglected them each time they've asked me to join them, you could say I'm as healthy as a horse. I'm vegetarian, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs and I watch my digestion of calories pretty closely. I do a great amount of exercise…if you're asking yourself why I try to keep myself so healthy, well it's because I want to grow old but not feeble with multiple diseases.
For now I think you've learned enough about me.
