OK so I'm going through a total fog and cannot remember the teachers' names. I would greatly appreciate another fan helping out a fan? Thanks so much for reviewing and supporting! Warning: these are UP TO DATE. So if you haven't seen the latest epi, the story will contain spoilers.
Chapter 2-
"He seems really nice." Jessie stated as she and Woody walked out of the principal's office her first morning.
"You seem surprised." Woody said.
"Well…our principal was a cheapskate; not someone who cared about the school. 'Al the chicken' we called him.
"The chicken?" Woody smirked.
"You have no idea how much he looked like one." Jessie explained. "But, however nice he is, I could still make do without these uniforms…"
Woody only nodded his agreement. "I gotta get to class," he said, motioning to the classroom they were about to pass. "You sure you're gonna be okay findin' your way around?"
"When have I not been okay, Woody?" Jessie asked with a big grin and a push to Woody's shoulder.
Woody held up his hands, as if accepting defeat. "Point taken."
The two friends separated, and Jessie walked into first period Computer class. "How good it is of you to join us," the beady-eyed, yet sorta hot teacher said.
"Sorry, I got lost." Jessie mumbled as she gave in her 'new kid' slip. She sat down in the only empty seat. It was in the back of the room and next to a perky-looking blonde.
"Howdy!" Jessie exclaimed as she sat down. The blonde turned toward the new girl and gave a bright smile.
"Hey there," she said. "Welcome to Degrassi! You're looking at the former new girl."
Jessie smiled. "Glad to see I'm not alone."
"I'm Jenna," said the blonde. She turned to her right said. "And this is Clare."
Clare looked up at Jessie with puffy, red eyes. "Hello." She said quietly.
"I'm Jessie." Jessie introduced herself. "What seems to be the problem, Clare?"
"N-nothing." Clare stuttered, hiding her face on the desk atop her crossed arms.
"Her parents are divorcing." Jenna explained. Clare hit Jenna on the arm. "Ow…" she said.
"I'm sorry. If it helps, my family hasn't exactly seen eye-to-eye either." Jessie said sorrowfully
"And Clare-bear, I only have my brother." Jenna reminded her friend. Clare wiped her tears.
"Sorry, guys. I know I'm not the only one with problems. This is Degrassi after all."
"Don't worry about it. You have a right to be upset." Jessie said.
"Yeah." Jenna chided.
"Girls?" the teacher said from the front of the room.
"Yes?" Jessie answered.
"You may continue you're social hour after class."
Jenna rolled her eyes and accessed Microsoft Word on her computer.
THE DOT? AFTR SKL AT 4?
Jessie raised her eyebrows.
HNGOUT SPOT. YOU IN?
The redhead nodded.
MEET U OUTSIDE SECURITY AFTR SCHOOL.
Jessie nodded once more and then got started on the assignment. Her insides fluttered with excitement. Her outgoing personality already led her to friends.
Classes came and gone. Jessie remembered a few nice faces, and a few bitchy ones. There was Jenna and Clare, of course. At lunch, Jessie met the biggest bitch of them all. Her name was Bianca. She was a brunette with wavy hair and had a knack for leather jackets and boots. Her face was serious and her movements looked choreographed. Their hatred for each other all started on the lunch line.
"Crap…no more chocolate pudding." complained Jessie, mostly to herself.
Overhearing this, a cute boy in front of her turned around. "Here." He said, putting the pudding cup on her tray. "I shouldn't eat the extra calories anyway." His grin melted Jessie's heart. 'What color eyes?' Jessie asked herself. 'Blue? Gray?' It was impossible for her to tell.
"Gee, thanks." Jessie said. He paid and then waited for Jessie. "I'm Jessie. Sorta new." She said.
"Drew." said the boy. "Been there done that: the whole new thing, I mean."
Jessie nodded. "Hey I was wondering-" but she got interrupted by the evil witch in the flesh-Bianca De Sousa.
"Picking up another skank, Drew?" she asked with mock innocence.
"Excuse me?" Jessie clenched her fists together."
"Oops, sorry. Didn't mean to offend you. But it seems like oversensitive sluts are just his type." she explained with fake niceness.
"You don't even know me." Jessie reminded the girl.
"Whatevs." She said as she pushed herself in between Drew and Jessie to get through, though there was plenty of room on either side.
"I've met bitches before," Jessie told Drew, just loud enough for Bianca to hear. "But this one is more like an enemy."
Bianca turned around. "Puh-lease. You have nothing on me. Unlike me, who so obviously sees your crush on a guy who cheated on his girlfriend."
Drew gaped. "You weren't supposed to say anything." He almost yelled.
"Oops." Bianca said once again. "Soon enough you'll come to your senses and not want to be held down." She grabbed his tie in a sexy motion. "I'll be waiting." Jessie could see the chill of anxiety go through Drew's spine.
"Never met a slut as desperate as you." Jessie mumbled to Bianca.
Bianca avoided the statement. "Braids are so southern" was all she said as she pushed away again, actually leaving this time.
"She's not worth it." Drew reassured Jessie.
Jessie smiled knowingly. "Neither are you." She said.
"Huh?"
"You cheated on your girlfriend." Jessie reminded him.
"It-it was a mistake." He stumbled over his words.
"I can't deal with any more mistakes." Jessie said, starting to walk away.
"Bianca is a desperate slut. She only said that to make you mad."
"I know why she said it. But it doesn't mean that she's wrong, Drew."
"But-"
"Did you or did you not cheat?" Jessie asked.
"I did but-"
Jessie took in a deep breath and tried to relax. "Listen, I'm sure you're a nice guy. And you're cute to top it off. But I saw that chill when Bianca tugged on your tie. I saw the want in your eyes. And I don't want to come between it."
Drew nodded his understanding. Jessie knew he would. After all, he knew he wasn't ready for something serious.
"Thanks for the pudding cup!" she exclaimed over her shoulder as she went to go join Woody at his lunch table.
Hope you guys enjoyed it! Thanks for your reviews and alerts! Feeling the love!
