My first couple of classes went good. Jimmy guided me through all of them pretty well. He informed me which teachers so suck up to. Which ones to get a desk in the back row because they spit so much when talked that you would get drenched with their spit. What classes to pay close attention in. and what classes you could talk through and your teacher wouldn't care. Jimmy was like a dictionary of Degrassi . He knew everyone and everything about Degrassi. Next period was lunch. As jimmy informed me lunch is not met from eating. It is the social hour of Degrassi. Jimmy told me that he could introduce me to some of his friends at lunch time. I was really excited to make some new friend. Just then the lunch bell rung. Jimmy walked up to me.
"Come on lets go meet some of my friends" He said. I trail behind him. He led me to a group of three other kids sitting on a bench in the shade outside. There were two girls and one boy chatting together.
"Jade," Jimmy said "this is Paige, Spinner, and Hazel."
"Hey" I said with a shy smile. I was a very outgoing person once people got to know me but whenever I first met people I was extremely shy.
"You New here?" Hazel asked. Well obviously!
"Ya." I said and looked down at my shoes.
"Where you from?" Spinner asked. I think Jimmy sensed I was nervous around new people so he spoke for me.
"She from New York" Jimmy told them.
"Wooa that's really far away from here. You must really miss home eh?" said Spinner. Ah there he went with the "eh 's". Spinner was sorta cute though in a "tough jock that would beet up younger classman" way.
"Don't worry Hun," Paige said and smiled "Well make you feel right at home here. You'll love Degrassi." When Paige said that I right then knew I was in.
"so hun are you just going to stand there all day or sit down" Paige said. She moved her books over and made space for me. I smiled and sat down next to her. My stomach growled. My aunt hadn't packed me a lunch and I was starved. Hazel read my mind. Actually more like she heard my stomach then read my mind.
"Want a bite?" She asked holding up her toasted bagel.
"Ya, thanks" I said. I was thankful that Jimmy had introduced me to friends that food with them. If he hadn't I might have starved!
"Hey Spinner, want to go shoot some hoops?" Jimmy asked
"Sure jimmy" Spinner.
"Want to come Jade? I'm sure you've played some b-ball before." Jimmy asked smiling.
"I'm not in a running around sweating kinda mood. But I'm sure well come watch later " I said
"Definitely" Paige and Hazel said together.
"K, Catch you guys later" Jimmy said as he jogged off with Spinner to the basketball courts.
"Wow I've never seen Jimmy smile that much in my life." Hazel said elbowing Paige.
"What do you guys mean by that?" I asked confused.
"All I'm saying is that Jimmy doesn't smile that much when I'm around." Hazel said and giggled. I know what they were saying. They thought jimmy liked me. I doubt it he was probably just being nice. REALLY NICE!
"So what do you think about Jimmy and Spinner. Cute eh?" Paige said.
"Oh definitely!" I said. Jimmy and Spinner were EXTEREMLY cute. "Are they all like that in Degrassi?" I asked.
"Yup. They make 'em good in Grade 9. I guess we just got lucky." Paige said.
"Real lucky." Hazel added on. We all laughed.
"Come on guys. Let's go over to the basketball courts and see how our 'hot Degrassi' guys are doing in their game" I said giggling. We all laughed and walked over the courts.
