Ok, sorry I took soooo long to get this up. But, finally, here it is. I'm
continuing! Enjoy!
"Ok, class, have a nice day, I can't wait to see you all again for English." Mrs.
Kwan called over the noise of the class pushing in chairs and closing backpacks as the
bell signaled the end of homeroom. Reeni grabbed her stuff and quickly headed towards
the door, hoping to be left in peace. However, soon enough, as though anticipated, there
was a voice behind her.
"Hey, what's your hurry? Believe me, you don't want to rush to any of these
classes. Nothing too interesting."
Reeni turned to see Ellie walking up behind her.
"So, what do you think of Degrassi so far?" Ellie asked as she caught up.
"Well, ...after being present in only one class so far, and might I add, the most
meaningless class of the day, I can quite confidently say that it's the equivalent of a
living hell. "
"Yeah that basically sums it up. Where are you headed?"
"Um....." Reeni dug into her bag and pulled out her schedule, "Media Immersion,
Mr. Simpson."
"Yeah, same here. Don't worry though, Simpson's one of the better teachers. He
actually tries to understand you. It's like he knows it's not easy being fourteen and stuck
in this awful place. Oh, hold up a second, I need to stop at my locker."
Reeni stopped and put her schedule back in her bag while Ellie opened her locker.
She tried to close her bag, but it was too full.
"Ugh. No, everything fit this morning."
Ellie glanced behind her to see Reeni struggling with her books, then turned back
to her locker. Reeni pulled out a few books and tried making it all fit again. Just as she
thought she'd accomplished her goal someone ran into her hard, and she fell to the floor,
all of her books falling out of her bag.
"Oh, geez. I'm so sorry, really."
The tall, thin, dark haired boy who had smiled at her that morning was standing
over her, a camera in his hands.
"Yeah, I was trying to fix this stupid thing, and I guess I just wasn't paying
attention." He said gesturing to the camera in his hands. He looked down at it again,
"Yeah, I dunno it's been acting really weird. Something with the flash, it keeps..."
"Look, just watch where you're going." Reeni cut him off as she started picking up her things.
"Here, let me help"
"No, I've got it." She said taking a book out of his hands.
He stood back up and offered her his hand to help her up. She looked up at him
blankly and stood up on her own. He awkwardly put his hand back at his side as she
brushed herself off. He still had a book in his hand and he offered handed it to her. She
looked down at her thin black journal in his hands and snatched it.
"I guess I should introduce myself , shouldn't I." Reeni didn't respond. "Um,
yeah, I'm Craig." He said grinning.
She glanced up at him with that same blank look, then returned her attention to
her bag. She closed it and slung it over her shoulder, facing Craig.
"Well I guess I'll see you in class." He said with a smile
She rolled her eyes, "If you must."
He smiled at her response, "Oh, I'm afraid I must." He said, then turned and
walked away.
Ellie had closed her locker now and smiled at Reeni. "Come on, let's go." She
said with a small chuckle.
After having survived four classes, it was finally time for lunch. For most of the
morning, Ellie had been with her; sitting with her in class, walking with her in the halls.
However, at the end of last period a girl with short black hair, wearing all black had
arrived late. She and Ellie were obviously friends because after class, they left together.
Reeni really didn't mind, it gave her some time to herself. She finished at her locker, and
followed the other students outside, where everyone was eating lunch. She scanned all
the tables, until she finally spotted a familiar face. She smiled and headed over to the
table.
"Hey, there you are. I've was looking for you." The person said as she
approached the table.
Reeni smiled. "Yeah, same here. You know, you're not an easy person to find,
Sean Cameron."
"Ok, class, have a nice day, I can't wait to see you all again for English." Mrs.
Kwan called over the noise of the class pushing in chairs and closing backpacks as the
bell signaled the end of homeroom. Reeni grabbed her stuff and quickly headed towards
