Chapter 2-I Was Afraid to Meet You
My school days were rather boring, so I know that you don't want to be bored with it all. Basic school stuff happened; I went, I learned, I made new friends, I made new enemies. Is there anything I left out? Probably not, because Degrassi was like any other school-there were true friends, true enemies, and gossip spread like forest fire. So let me tell you, this is all extremely boring.
One of my new friends, Lee, came up to me one lunch, and started going on about this guy. I usually zone out when she talks about guys because I never know how long I could be sitting there listening about how cool this guy was, or how smart that guy was. It was all really boring and predictable.
"Audrey? Are you even listening to me anymore? Hello?" Lee said, waving a hand in front of my face.
"Huh? Oh, sorry Lee," I said looking at her. Her blonde hair fell just below her shoulders, mine almost as long. She was much more prep than I was, considering I wasn't the "true emo-punk" as one girl put it. I was a prep, big whoop. Anyway, her blue eyes seemed like they could burn a hole inside of you, and when she was mad they seemed like ice. It was cool and creepy at the same time.
"Right, there's this kid, he's a niner like us. You've probably seen him around. Tall, brown eyes, cute curly brown hair, always has a camera," she said as she mocked taking a picture.
"I'm not stupid Lee, I know what you do with a camera. I think that guy has a locker a few down from me. He always hangs around with that kid I told you about, Sean."
"Well, I heard a something from a birdie that this guy has a thing for someone," she said excitedly. 'Oh boy,' I thought, 'another boy who likes Lee, I know it.'
"Do you even know this kids name? I mean, for all you know, he could be an axe murderer," I said, waving my arms frantically around.
"You're starting to sound like my mother, Drey, knock it off. Anyways, his name is Craig. Very cute."
"Well, does so-called Craig like you? Or do you want me to find out for you?"
"Must you refer to people as 'so-called'? It's really annoying," she said pulling her hair into a ponytail.
"No, continue. About Craig?"
"Good girl, you can have a cookie. Anyway, it's not ME he's into! It's you! I heard that he wants to ask you to the Spring Carnival!" she said, bouncing up and down. The Spring Carnival was the "it" thing of the moment. Anyone who's anybody was going to be there. Since I was fairly popular, I intended on going. Never had I considered going with a date, it was always flying solo for me.
"He wants to ask me? Why?"
"Why not, hun! I mean, the boy is human! You're gorgeous! That Spinner kid has been after you since day one! Craig should feel honored if you even say yes to him!"
I guess she was right. I was pretty. Boys had liked me, but none had ever really made a move. Especially here at Degrassi. For some reason, it's as though these Canadian boys were injected with the shy gene at birth and American boys weren't. I didn't have much time to think though, because at that moment the boy of the moment walked up to our table.
"Hey Lee! Hey Audrey! How's it going ladies?" he said as he took the seat between us that we had previously been leaning over.
"Not too shabby Craig," said Lee. She could pull off saying some weird stuff, but I was the master of it all. I could even pull off the occasional "y'all". Oh yeah, I was good.
"Yeah, we're doing pretty good," I said. Now wasn't the time to be trying out new phrases.
"Hey, Audrey, can I talk to you for a second?" he asked.
"Yeah, sure," I said, standing up and pushing my chair in. I could feel Sean's eyes burning a hole in my back, but I couldn't turn around. Since I had started Degrassi, I hadn't really met the new Sean. I only had the memories of the old Sean. It was as though I was afraid, and wanted to hold on to the memories.
We walked to a corner, and he turned and smiled at me as though I was the only other person in the world. It was amazing.
"So, um, you know that the Spring Carnival is coming up?" he said nervously.
"Yeah, it's supposed to be a blast!"
"Well, do you have a date for it yet? Cause, you know, if you don't, I would really like it if you went with me," he said, staring at his feet. He seemed so nervous and afraid, it was all very cute.
"I don't have a date, and I'd love to go with you," I said smiling. He was cute, smart, and he seemed to like me. Why not go with him.
"All right, cool," he said. At that moment, the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch. "I'll catch you later Audrey."
"Yeah, later," I said, faintly waving as he jogged to his table to get his books. The room cleared, and I sank to the floor with happiness. I smiled at the ceiling, and closed my eyes.
"You're gonna be late for class you know," a voice said from over me. I looked at the legs, jean-clad legs is what they were. The dark denim that could only be found on one person, and one person only. The little boy had come back. "I'm Sean," he said, sticking his hand out for me to take hold of.
"Audrey," I said, taking his hand and letting him pull me up into a whole new life.
~So, how did you like it? It's a little Mary-Sueish, but I swear it's going to get better! Just please review! Thanks!! Merry Almost Christmas everybody!~
