Chapter 1
HONK! HONK!
I was woken up by the loud sounds of the school bus that was waiting in front of my home. Oh crap! It's already here? I grabbed my clock to check the time, and it was seven thirty. Dammit! My stupid alarm didn't work! Ugh I gotta hurry now. I jumped out of bed and quickly brushed my teeth and did my hair. No time to take a bath so I just washed my face and sprayed on some perfume. I grabbed the first pair of clothes that caught me eyes, a white blouse, a pair of blue skinny jeans that lay on the ground, probably from last week, and my plaid scarf. I put on my black boots and looked at myself in the mirror one last time before I ran downstairs to catch the bus. I was stopped, however, by my friend Kim.
She just stood there, in front of the door, blocking my way to get outside.
"C'mon Kim, please move," I pleaded.
"Wow, you really do continue to impress me Sam," she said and she tilted her head up a bit to make it seem like she was deep in thought, "You ended up making yourself look this fabulous in just five minutes!"
"Okay, seriously I have to go-"
"What? Aren't you gonna eat first? I mean you can't expect to start your first day at a new school without having breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day!" she said with fake concern. I just sighed and grabbed an apple from the kitchen.
"I'll eat on the bus," I said, "Now can you please move so I can go?" She just looked at me with a smirk. I could tell she was enjoying how annoyed I was getting right now.
"I still think your forgeting something," she said as she leaned in closer to my neck. Kim did some of the strangest things from time to time, but her being bisexual was what got me getting all uncomfortable when she did things like this. I backed away, and she just laughed. I was confused and she just pulled out a silver necklace with a heart that had wings designed into it.
"My locket!" I gasped, "How could I be stupid enough to forget something so important?"
"Well you are prreettty stupid," she joked. I just laughed and turned around so she could put it on me.
"Thanks Kimmy," I gave her a huge hug and walked out the door.
"Have fun at Degrassi," she yelled.
"Yeah right," I said as I playfully rolled my eyes.
"Be safe! I love you!" she yelled, and then laughed as my cheeks turned bright red.
"Shut up MOM!" I yelled back. She always liked to make me feel more nervous about things than I needed to. But still it as embarassing as it was, I let out a laugh.
I got into the bus and noticed I was the only one in there. Guess I was the first stop. I grabbed a seat at the very end and took out my iPod and started munching on my apple. I blasted my headphones onto my favourite band Dead Hand. I watched as more kids started filling the bus everytime it stopped. Each had someone to talk to, make jokes with, make out with, gossip with, while I was in the back sulking and getting more nervous by the minute. Please let this day go by super fast!
The bus came to a final stop, and everyone stormed out. I, however, decided to take my time and take in everything before stepping out.
Whoa, I looked over to see groups huddled everywhere. You could immediately tell who were the populars, the jocks, nerds, misfits, and bullies. They all hung out in their own groups in their pwn little area, seperating themselves from everyone else. Great, it's going to be real easy for me to make new friends now isn't it? I didn't even know what categoey I fit in here. Probably loner. Well best to let no one notice me and just go through my school year as the kid blending in with the lockers. I took a deep breath and walked towards the school, unaware of my surroundings. I heard a honking sound and turned to my left to see a strange looking vehicle come towards me. I jumped out of the way only to slip and land on my butt. I let myself calm down a figure out what was going on.
I-its a hearse? I stared at it in curiousity. Who fricken rides something like that to school? Are the trying to freak someone out? It made an abrupt stop and the front door opened. A boy with dark brown hair, pale skin, and emerald green eyes came out from the hearse. He was wearing a ton of black. Makes sense that a kid like this was driving such a strange car.
"Are you okay?" he asked in a panicky and somewhat pissed tone as he walked upto me. I didn't answer him. I was still letting it all hit me as i just sat there. "Look I'm sorry I almost hit you, but you just ran out of nowhere. I didn't see you coming."
"No it's okay," I managed to let out, "I-its my fault. I should've been more careful." I was still eyeing the car. I guess he met my gaze.
"What? Never seen one before?" he asked.
"I've seen them a ton of times," I replied, "just not at school. So who died?" I joked.
"Wouldn't you like to know," he smirked. He helped me up and it looked like he was analyzing me. Pretty weird.
"Are you new here?" he asked.
"W-why do you ask?" I replied nervously. I was hoping no one would notice and just leave me alone. Guess it was pretty easy to tell.
"Well I haven't seen you around before that's why."
"Makes sense. Well I am," I admitted.
"I'm Eli," he said as he took out a hand.
"Sam," I replied as I shook his hand.
"Since your new you might want to stick close to me and a couple friends of mine. New kids seem to be the biggest targets at this school," he warned and then just smirked.
"Grrreeaatt," I said with total sarcasm, "What an awesome way to welcome a student." He just laughed. I looked at the building once again, Obviously it's gonna take me a while to find my way around school, maybe I should ask? No that's too stupid.
"Well anywho, it was nice almost getting hit by your hearse," I joked, "I gotta go find the office and get my schedule and books. So if you don't mind-"
"You need help to get there?" he asked, "cause I know my way around this school pretty well." It's like he just read my mind.
"Uhhhh, sure?" I waited while he parked his hearse and lead me inside. We were walking towards the office when a short boy approached us. Well I couldn't really say he was short since he happened to be the same size as me. He had short light brown hair, pale skin, and gorgeous blue eyes. He had a confused expression when he got to us.
"Uh, hey Eli?" he looked over at me, "So, uh, I noticed you made a new friend or something? Whats Clare gonna think." He started teasing him.
Eli just rolled his eyes, "This is Sam. She's new here so I thought I'd help her get around the school. We were just about to get her schedule."
"Oh, makes sense," he nodded, "so, hey I'm Adam by the way." He grinned and I just smiled back and politely said hello. He turned his attention to Eli again.
"Anyways I came to let you know that Clares lokking for you," he said, "something about an essay you wrote that she doesn't approve of."
"Oh boy," he smirked.
"Seriously dude, that's really disgusting what you wrote," said Adam looking pretty annoyed.
"Nah, I find it entertaining," said Eli. Adam just gave him a look. "Fine I'll go find her. Help this one out okay?" Adam nodded his head and took my hand as he led me towards the office. We didn't really talk much so it seemed pretty awkward between us. I got up to the front desk and asked for my schedule. The front desk lady asked me to wait a couple minutes. I decided to just sit and wait and Adam did the same. I didn't want anymore awkward tension between us, so I thought about starting a conversation. But what do I talk about? I don't want to sound like an idiot! I was never good with starting small talk. I then noticed his shirt and my eys widened.
"You like Dead Hand?" I asked in complete shock. He looked down at his shirt and just smiled enthusiastically.
"Yeah, they're totally awesome," he gushed.
"Yeah they're like legends!" I exclaimed, but then I soon regretted what I said. My cheeks turned pink from embarassment. What if he thought I was some craze obsessed freak or something?
He just smiled, "Finally! A chick that understands!"
I just laughed at his comment. Good thing I didn't embarass myself. The front desk lady called my name and I grabbed my schedule.
Period 1 : Advanced English
Period 2 : Chemistry
Period 3 : French
Period 4 : Remedial Gym
Period 5 : Math
Period 6 : Media Immersion
"Hey it's looks like you got English and Remedial Gym with me!" exclaimed Adam. It's good that the awkwardness between us was gone just by one comment on Dead Hand. I was super happy to know that I had at least one class where I knew someone.
"C'mon I'll walk you there," I simply nodded and followed him. Well so far so great. Hope nothing happens to make me want to regret switching schools to come here.
