Chapter 7: Degrassi

I woke up early this morning
It was my first day at the new school… at Degrassi
And it deserved to start with a good impression
I never actually tried to ruin first impressions;
I was just unlucky in these matters
Today was the same, I had no clue how it was gonna go

The secretary at the Lakehurst High's office had mentioned that Degrassi High was a highly sought after school and that it'll be good for me.

Degrassi was an impressive orange brown colored building with some baby blue and yellow around the windows to represent the school colors.
As I climbed up the stairs, I noticed the sign on the main entrance that said, in bold letters, 'DEGRASSI COMMUNITY SCHOOL'.

Degrassi looked upscale for a public school.
Like any other school, there were kids coming in and out, all wearing clothes like they'd been bought from the Mall that I worked at, obsessing about things that could only matter to them.

I, in my white tank top, my favorite dark grey pants and brown workman's shoes walked into the school into the main hallway…

As I was wondering where the office might be, I saw a girl in, mostly, black clothing and red hair in braids …
It seemed like she was waiting for someone…

I figured that it'd be easy to ask her way to the office…
So I went and stood in front of her
She looked at me curiously as if trying to recognize me…

I asked bluntly, "hey … do u know the way to the office?"

"Yeah… to the right… down the hall" she replied impassively.

I gave her a nod of thanks and continued in the direction she had mentioned,
The office was right where she said it'd be,
Typically bright and clean
I went to the secretary and gave her my name.

"Alex Nunez! Yes you have an appointment with our guidance councilor … could you take a seat there, and Ms. Sauvé will be with you shortly."

I had only waited for a few minutes in the office as I saw a teacher come towards me.
Ms. Sauvé seemed like a nice lady with a relatively short stature,
She looked serene and her hair was tied behind in a bun.

She greeted me eagerly and welcomed me to the school.

"Today we're having a basketball game and so our team 'Panthers' along with a lot of our students will be going there during the lunch hour to support the team…
You are more than welcome to join them as it is a half-day today."

"I'll think about it" I replied

She informed me that my papers from Lakehurst have already been received and that my time table will be printed for me as soon as I confirm the courses that I'm taking.

"you have to take the compulsory courses to get the credits for this year like English, math, media immersion, chemistry, history and gym etc. but you do have a few choices among the non-compulsory courses… so I'm going to ask you if you're interested in any of these.." She said, giving me a list of choices …

I chose 'shop' and 'drama' from the given list.

After getting my timetable,
A letter stating my transfer to Degrassi
And a yellow school map,

She directed me to my homeroom with Ms. Hatzilakos.
Later I was going to have chemistry and gym with Ms. Hatzilakos…

But my first class was English…
