Helloooooo again.I am really sorry I didn't update, mainly cause I had this
writer's block (and it's not like this chapter's gonna be great anyways. I
am really really stuck). And I have a xanga!!! YAY!!! It's all purty and
all, so you should check it out, and leave a comment! Well you don't have
to leave a comment.^_^ Anyways here's Chapter 4 of Degrassi. I'm really
sorry I'm not getting to the depth of the story yet.it's just so hard to. I
really don't know how the writers here are able to do it.
So far Ryu has come to the school and seems to be having social problems.well problems.I'll try to make it more "colorful" in this chapter.although I have a feeling it won't.On with the show!!!
Disclaimer: Degrassi's not mine, duh.
Chapter 4
The bell rang indicating school was over [ "Thank God!" the students cried] and students poured out of their classrooms, chattering excitedly. Of course the only person who didn't seem to be enjoying it was Ryu, who walked quietly to her locker, putting her books away. She slammed the locker shut loudly, causing students to look around at who just did that. She glared at them hoping they would leave her alone. They seemed to notice that she was a new student and ignored her, continuing to walk past her. She continued walking and opened the door to go outside.
Most students were already filing into buses, sitting on the steps of the school for their rides, and some were walking home. She walked down the steps quickly and walked along the sidewalk to go home.
~*~ Ryu opened the door to her house. It was simple and looked like the homes in Japan, which was why her mother had bought it in the first place. She took off her shoes and started to climb the steps, when her mother came in.
"Ryu!" Ryu stopped walking and turned to her mother, " Oto-san." "How was your first day of school?" Her mother smiled kindly.
" Sucked," Ryu thought, but not wanting her mother to be worried, " It was.nice?" she answered lightly, nodding at the same time. Her mother smiled wider, " That's good Ryu! Did you make any friends?"
" Uh.hai. I did Oto-san." Her mother stared at her for a moment and finally nodded her head, " Ok then, I'm going to cook dinner then. I'll call when it's ready." Ryu nodded and quickly ran up the stairs.
~*~ Ryu opened the door, slamming it quickly and slid down to sit on the floor. She leaned her head back and breathed out quitely. She hated it here. Why here? She screamed in her head. Because of you. She thought guiltily. She stood up quickly angrily and walked toward a small picture frame. It had a picture of a man and a little kid, dressed in a tuxedo, holding a small trophy. They were both looking into the camera, standing in front of a piano.
*FLASHBACK* "And for the first place winner, under the category of kids ages 5-12 (I don't remember much, so correct me if I'm wrong)..is Ryu Ogata!"
Ryu, age 8, stood up proudly in her tuxedo and walked to the Director holding the trophy, receiving her prize. She bowed to the audience and smiled to the cameras that took pictures of the winner. She glanced to where her parents were sitting. Her mother was clapping very loudly with the hugest grin. Her father clapped politely, showing little emotion. She felt her smile drop. She walked off the stage and sat in her seat. After the awards were given out, Ryu walked toward her parents. Her mother hugged her right away, " Aaa.. Ryu-chan, this is such an honor! I am so proud of you!" " Arigatou Ota-san" Ryu returned the hug silently and turned to her father, giving a very small smile.
He nodded, " Good job," which was all he said. Ryu felt hopeless Ryu's piano teacher came up, grinning broadly, apparently proud that one of his students won.
" Ryu-san did very well today Ogata-san" he said to Ryu's father. Ryu's father just nodded. Ryu's piano teacher's smile began to falter when he didn't receive an enthusiastic response. " Ahem, well anyways. I just wanted to tell you that Ryu-san does not have to go to piano lesson tomorrow. Just give her a little break for her reward today." " I think Chiba-san that Ryu will have to go tomorrow," Ryu's father said calmly. "Uhm.Ryuhei-chan, don't you think she deserves a small break?" Ryu's mother asked softly, " She has been going to class at least everyday now." "Hitomi-chan, I believe I said she will go to class tomorrow." "I-alright then." She turned to Ryu's piano teacher, " Chiba-san, Ryu will go to class as usual tomorrow."
"Oh-um.alright then," he stammered, " It was nice to see you again. I'll see you tomorrow Ryu-san" He bowed to them and quickly left. There was an awkward silence between the family. Ryu's mother finally broke it, "Um let's take a picture!" she said a bit enthusiastically. She took out a camera, " Ryu, Ryuhei stand over there.near the piano. Yes, that's good. Hold your trophy Ryu. And smile! 1.2..3!" She took the picture and smiled at them, " let's celebrate! Okay?" They both nodded and Ryu's parents walked ahead of her muttering something about stocks. Ryu walked slowly and stared at the trophy. How many trophies does she have to win to make her father proud of her? She wondered if she was a boy, if his reaction would be different.
*End Flashback* Ryu stared at the picture. A few years after the picture, her father left them. Ryu put the frame back to its spot and layed down on her bed. She sat there staring at the ceiling and thought about her day. The only person that bothered to talk to her was that boy. Marco. He was different, she knew that. Different than boys, except she wasn't sure if she was right about that. She groaned aloud. That stupid project. She couldn't believe she was given a project on her first day at Degrassi. She thought about her teachers. They were nice, as always. Treating the new student that way. Then there were the other students. Most of them were nice, except Ryu didn't even smile back at them. So much for friends here.
Okee that's it for now. Sorry for the short chapter. I'm having a huge writer's block rite now. So as u can see this chapter is just talking about Ryu. So there's really no Degrassi here. But hopefully in the next chapter there will be! Anywhoo I saw the Degrassi Crash Course on the N. It seems kinda interesting. Showing the new characters. Like Paige's older brother. It was sooo obvious who was going to make an eye on him. Marco! Yeah okee I think if you watched it you'll understand what I mean by that.
