Early the next morning, I heard an alarm going off and immediately popped up in my bed.

"What the hell is that?" I asked groggily rubbing my eyes.

"An alarm clock, we have to get ready for school." Emma said. "You can use the bathroom down here. I'll take the upstairs one." She said before grabbing her things and leaving me in bed. I lied back down and thought

'Damn school. I completely forgot about that.' I sighed deeply before getting up and starting to get ready.

Once ready, I was surprised to find Spike up and making breakfast.

"Good morning!" She said cheerfully, sitting a plate of food on the table for me.

"Uh…good morning." I replied unsurely, starting to eat.

"So, Adrianna, would you like a ride to school? I have to get there early of course, but it won't be a problem." Snake asked.

"Actually I thought I'd walk." I answered, hoping maybe if I could get away from them I'd be able to skip.

"Ok, then Emma will walk with you." He replied calmly.

"You know what; I don't wanna take her away from her friends, or make her feel like she has to do things for me. I think I'll be fine."

"Nice try, but choose." Snake stated.

"Ugh. I guess I'll just walk with Emma." I said playing with my food.

"So this is it?" I asked, with Emma standing at my side.

"Yeah, this is it." Emma replied, depression deep in her voice.

"I don't wanna go in there." I stated honestly.

"Yeah, me either." I turned and looked at Emma, an evil smirk on my face.

"Then let's just not go, Come on Em! Show me around!"

"I so would, except the tiny fact my Dad kinda works here. I think he'd notice." I pouted.

"Damn you and your teacher dad." Emma laughed softly saying "Come on." And lead me into Degrassi Community School.

"Class, I'd like you to meet a new student to the school. Adrianna, would you like to introduce yourself to the class?" Snake, I mean, Mr. Simpson asked as I stood at the front of the room. I merely looked up at him saying,

"No." And took a seat where he told me previously. Mr. Simpson started his lesson but I tuned him out.

"Hi." The kid next to me said. "I'm J.T York, heart-throb of the school. And you are?" He asked his hand out. I laughed, no way was this kid a heart-throb. I mean sure he was cute but not THAT cute.

"Adrianna Pierce. But you can call me Ade." I replied taking his hand. "And by the way, I think I may steal your title." I finished sending him a wink while letting go of his hand.

"Well then, let the games begin." He stated laughing.

"You know, actually used to like English at one point." I stated, while walking out of Mrs. Kwan's 4th period English class, with J.T, Emma, and Toby. "She has officially killed my favorite subject." Laughing J.T replied

"Yeah, you'll get used to that. I've learned to tune out all of her useless babble."

"Well then Mr. York, I'm sure you won't mind listening to my useless babble after school." Mrs. Kwan said appearing out of nowhere. J.T sighed, and she suddenly disappeared leaving us alone again.

"That…was really creepy." I said, laughing, and followed the group into the lunchroom.

"I can't believe I had to pay $3.50 for this mush." I said, staring down at what this school was calling, food on my tray. All of a sudden some kids pushed past us, one guy in a baggy hoodie stealing the muffin off of Toby's tray, simply saying, "I'll take that." I quickly took it back, replying with "No you won't." They stared me down,

"Excuse me?" The jerk asked.

"Listen, I understand you can't afford $3.50, but you don't have to take his stuff." I stated, staring him straight in the eyes, not backing down.

"You better watch who you're talking to." A butch girl threatened from next to jerk-face. I turned to her,

"No, you better watch who you mess with." I replied my eyes lit with fire, blazing into her own.

"Whatever. Come on babe." The jerk said the butch, pulling on her arm. They walked away, the girl looking back once again to glare at me. 1 of their minions followed but one stayed behind for a second. I recognized him from math class. I noticed he avoided looking in Emma's direction but once he connected eyes with me, I was lost. His blue eyes stared back at me with such intensity. I just stared back, biting my lip in nervousness.

'Whoa, I'm never nervous." I thought before, finally glaring at him. He just gave me that same look before slowly backing away and tearing his eyes away from mine. I turned to the group handing Toby back his muffin asking

"Who was that?"

"That was Jay Hogart, he's a total psycho, like seriously, I heard they tried to put him on meds and everything." J.T answered. "The girl with them was Alex Nunez, Jay's girlfriend. God only knows what they do when they're together." I shuttered at the thought.

"And the last kid? With the beanie?" I asked. J.T looked back at Emma before answering.

"That was Sean Cameron. Emma's ex." I shot my head in Emma's direction but she just had her head down. "They broke up a few months ago. He totally just ditched us for Jay and his gang of criminals."

"Criminals?"

"Yeah, you saw what they did with Toby's muffin now imagine that but with bigger things."

"Bigger things, so they steal stuff? "

"Well, they haven't proved anything but whenever they're around things go missing. Everyone knows its them. But for some reason they're never caught. " We finally found a table but while their conversations continued my mind wandered back to Sean Cameron and his blue eyes.
