Clare's POV
I started to make my way across my front lawn, it was a nice day out today. The sky was clear, the sun was shining, and flowers were beginning to peek through the lightly visible fresh green grass. Spring was here, another one of my favorite things. It's like a fresh start in life after a long depressing winter when you had to stay inside most days for fear of getting caught in a snow storm. Half the time your parents won't let you hang out with your friends in the winter because "its to cold" as my parents would always say. So it feels good to get out if only for a little while and get my mind off of things.
I must not have been paying attention because before I knew it I was colliding with a tall hard figure. Needless to say the lasagna and I both found ourselves on the ground, but lucky enough the lasagna managed to stay safe in the pan. I looked up to see what I had ran into and standing before me was a tall boy with shaggy light brown, almost blond, hair. He was a few inches taller than me and seemed to be about my age. He reached out with his free hand, as the other was holding a plate of brownies, and helped me up off the ground. As I stood there in front of him I got a closer look. This boy was very attractive looking. He had a muscular build with gorgeous sun kissed skin, a clear complexion, and the most beautiful caramel colored eyes. He was wearing a red hoodie with dark blue jeans and white and black Adidas. I must have been staring because he stretched his hand out and introduced himself. "Hey, I'm Derek" he said while shaking my hand. "Clare" I said shyly. "So did you parents make you go meet your new neighbors too?" he asked smiling. "Uh, yeah how did you know?" "Well you were headed over to my house with a pan of lasagna, so I sort of put two and two together" he said chuckling. "Oh, right" I began laughing also. "So Derek, where did you move here from?" I asked. "New Jersey." "Wow, any particular reason for picking Toronto?" "No, not really, my family and I just got sort of bored with living in the states for a while and decided we needed a change." "Okay, well welcome to Toronto" I greeted, smiling at him. "Thanks, It takes a load off my mind to know that I have at least one nice neighbor. Our last neighbors weren't the nicest people and my parents are always bugging me to get out of the house and make more friends." "Well I guess I'm your first new friend then" I said giving another smile. "Sounds good to me" he said smirking back. "So are you going to be going to Degrassi?" "Yeah, I think so. That's the high school a few blocks away right?" "That would be it, what grade are you in?" "Tenth." "That's great, so am I! Maybe we'll have some classes together." "I hope so, it would be nice to know one person starting off at a new school." "Well not to worry, your new friend is here" I said and we both began laughing. After our laughter died down Derek began to speak. "Well Clare, since you and I already met, what do you say about meeting the rest of our families, since that's what we were originally supposed to be doing?" he smirked again. "Sure." "Then follow me" he said gesturing towards his house.
So there you go, chapter six. I hoped you all liked it. Tell me what you think. I'll try to update again soon. Thank you so much to everyone who has been reading my story, you are all amazing! THANK YOU AGAIN AND PLEASE KEEP REVIEWING!
