Damn, I just saw the finale…Eli's freaking nuts! But, that's why we love him. I think all us girls need an Eli in our lives, don't you think? Anyways, ya'll need to start reviewing…or else. If you think it sucks, tell me. I love criticism, and maybe it'll help me write a little better. Welp, without further ado, here's chapter 2! (Ha that rhymed :P)
Chapter 2
"Well Mr. Goldsworthy, here is your schedule. It's your basic grade 11 classes. I hope you enjoy your time at Degrassi." The principal, Mr. Simpson, gave me the standard "Welcome to my school" lecture. I stopped listening after the 3rd syllable. "Thank you, sir." I said as I grabbed my schedule from his hand. Algebra 2, American History, French, Chemistry, Gym, Lunch (of course) and…wait? What's this? "Grade 11 Advanced English?" I don't remember asking for that, not that it was an issue. English was my best subject.
"Yes, your previous school's records of your English grades made you eligible for the advanced class. I hope that's okay?" Mr. Simpson said. "No, its fine." I said. It really wasn't a big deal, it just meant more work.
"Well, good then. Enjoy your stay at Degrassi." Enjoy my stay? What is this, a hotel? "Thank you sir. I will." That was a lie. It was a high school. No one ever enjoys their "stays" at a high school.
"Great! See you tomorrow." He shook my hand and I was out the door in a flash. On the drive home, for some reason, I started to think about that blue-eyed girl. She was cute, pretty even. Hell, she was beautiful. She's probably the one good thing about that school.
Stop it, Eli. You can't afford to do this again. Not now. Maybe not ever again.
I shook her out of my mind as I pulled into the driveway. I wasn't really in the mood to talk, so I quietly entered my house, trying to sneak past my mom. "Hi honey. How'd the meeting go? Did you get your schedule?" Fail. "It was fine, and yes I did. It's just your basic classes, nothing special." I explained. "Well, great! I hope you like it here, Eli. It'll be a fresh start for you. It will help you cope, I just know it."
Ugh. Why does she have to even bring it up? "I hope so." Was all I could say. I didn't want to think about it right now. Before she could say anything else, I headed up the stairs to my room.
I sat on my bed, thinking about the hell day I had to face tomorrow. I hate being the new kid, although it could be worse. At least I'm not middle-of-the-year-new. I doubt I'll make any friends. I mostly like to keep to myself. I slipped on my headphones and blasted The Dead Hand and drifted off into my own world.

The loud riff of a guitar managed to wake me from my unplanned nap. I reached into my pocket and checked my phone. Holy crap, 10:30? Ugh. I'm that much closer to tomorrow. I slowly got up and changed into black sweatpants and a black t-shirt. Then I crawled back into bed and drifted off to sleep, strangely enough, thinking about that blue-eyed beauty.
Sorry, kinda short, I know, but it's pretty much a filler. I wanna focus on Eli's out of school life as well. Welp, you know the drill, review please! Next chapter should be up tomorrow! Oh, btw, when you review, let me know if you think I'm portraying Eli well. I think I am, but I'd like some outside opinions. Thanks loves!
