Degrassi: The Next Generation
Chapter 1: "Miracles Happen"
A car pulls up to Degrassi Community Center School. An african american boy gets out of a car. A lady calls to him. "Now Raheem, please don't cause any trouble at this school. This is a good school. I went here." She says smiling. Raheem gives a fake smile and then turns away. He's dressed in black. He appears to be 16 years old and about 5ft 10 inches. "This is great. A new school. A new way to get in trouble."
He walks up the steps and through the doors. Other kids start rushing past him to talk to their friends who they haven't seen since last year. He smiles at the thought of causing a little mischief amongst his peers. He walks to the office and sees a group of kids standing there talking excitedly. "I wonder who we get for homeroom this year? I hope it's Armstrong! He's so cute!"
He looks at the girl with a confused look. Another girl looks at him. "Hello? Hon, do you have a problem?" Raheem rolls his eyes. "Anyway, easy hormone-girl. He's a teacher remember." The girl says smiling at her friend. She scrolls her finger down the list and shrugs. "Nope. Simpson again." A guy comes up from behind Raheem. Raheem turns to look at him and his heart skips a beat. "It could be worse." The boy says as they all turn.
A korean-asian teacher walks pass them. "Oh, the pain of my existence." One boy says. The teacher turns around. "It's bane Gavin. Don't worry, I'll tell you about it in class. Grade 9 English.again." The teacher walks away with a satisfied strut. "That's right. Laugh at the big failing dummy. I failed English and now I have to take it again." Gavin says. "Spin, no one was laughing." The blonde haired girl says. Another boy comes up behind the "hormone-girl" and scrolls his finger down the list.
He walks past Gavin and whispers in his ear. "I was." And then he starts laughing as he walks off. Raheem chuckles to himself and the kids from the group look at him. He immediately hushes up. "Don't listen to him. Fail English, it's okay. Now if you fail gym then we really have to talk." The blonde haired girl says as she and Gavin kiss. Raheem rolls his eyes and looks away. The group leaves and he goes to check the list and heads in the direction of Gavin and his friends.
He walks into the class and sits down in the back. He puts his head down infront of the computer. A teacher walks in and greets everyone. "Welcome back to Degrassi guys. As most of you know I'm Mr. Simpson. We have a new student here with us. Would you please come up to the front.Raheem?" Raheem walks up to the front of the glass and some people start whispering and giggling and pointing at him. "Raheem is from the US and he just moved here about a month ago right?" Raheem nods. "Would you like to tell the class about you?" Raheem shrugged. " I like to act. I'm a fun person and soon you'll see me on the 10:00 news, having plummeted to my death."
The class and Mr. Simpson stare at him as he goes back to sit down. "That dude has serious issues." Gavin says to the black haired boy sitting next to him and he nods. Mr. Simpson hands out locks and Raheem follows Gavin and company once more. "Ugh! I cannot have a locker in The Wasteland. I cannot live here!" the blonde-haired girl complains. "I don't want a locker here either but I'm dealing with it. So suck it up." Raheem says as he walks past. The hallway floor is covered with all kinds of disgusting junk. Just his luck! The blonde-haired girl's locker is right next to his. "Oh man." He sighs. He opens the locker and something falls out and he jumps back and a few people start laughing. The blonde-haired girl does the same thing and the same thing happens. "I think there's something living in there!" she says.
Gavin opens the locker. It's a toy rat tied on a hook! "I feel sorry for you Paige." Hormone girl says. "Then switch with me Hazel! Or how about you Marco?" Paige says looking for some hope. They both say no. Raheem laughs to himself but then realizes that he can't live here either. "I can't live here. This place is disgusting!" as he says this he notices Marco in a girl like pose trying to get a piece of paper off his shoe. Raheem looks at him funny. "I cannot live here! I have to go." Paige walks off and just as Hazel is about to Gavin grabs her arm. "Haz! You're Paige's best friend right?" Hazel nods. "Then switch lockers with her! Please? It's the only thing I can give her." Gavin pleads. "You couldn't pay me to live here in The Wasteland." Hazel says a little disgusted. "Please? Our 4 month anniversary is coming up in 5 days and this is all I can get her." Gavin pleads again.
"So buy her a pony." Hazel says and walks off. Gavin then walks off and shortly Marco follows. Raheem looks around him and notices something moving on the floor under what looks like a new paper and slams his locker and runs. While running he bumps into Marco and they both fall. Raheem's heart starts beating fast and he smiles. "Sorry." He says and helps up Marco. Marco and Raheem stare at each other for a bit. Gavin comes up and taps Marco on the shoulder. "You ready to go?" Marco nods and turns away quickly and walks off. Raheem looks down and walks off too.
School ends pretty quickly. Raheem walks slowly out into the middle of the street and stands there. A speeding car is coming his way. "What's he doing?" a girl yells. "He's going to get hit!" a boy yells. "Get out of the street! Go! Move! The car is coming!!" boys and girls scream as Raheem stands there as the car is nearing him. Craig Manning, who was taking pictures at the time, took a picture of Raheem standing in the street. Gavin, Paige, Hazel, and Marco come outside smiling and talking and then suddenly notices everyone screaming at the boy standing in the street about to be hit by a car. "What's he doing?" Paige says a little freaked out. Raheem stands there ignoring the people screaming and telling him to get out of the way of the speeding car. He closes his eyes and listens and waits for the impact.
He hears the brakes of the car and then suddenly he's thrown out the way by somebody and he's rolling along the sidewalk until he hits something and then everything goes black. People start running up towards him and the other figure that threw him out the way. It was Sean Cameron, the resident bad boy! He bum rushed Raheem out the way of the car and rolled alongside him until they hit the curb.hard. Sean's arm was bruised and he winced as Emma Nelson, his girlfriend, went to touch it. "Who is this guy?" Emma says looking at the unconscious form of Raheem a few feet away from Sean. "His name's Raheem. He's in our class." Gavin said as they heard the ambulance pull up. They emt's lifted Raheem and put him on the stretcher and put him in the ambulance and Sean got in too and they drove away.
"That boy needs help." Paige said. She was looking around at everybody else and they agreed. "He said that he was going to be on the 10:00 news but it's not even 10 yet." Hazel commented and Paige nodded. "I think we should go to the hospital to try and see what his problem is. I don't think he was going to move." Gavin said. "We know that Spin. I want to know what his damage is. And if he's okay. When should we go see him? We have to tell Mr. Simpson about this!" they all ran back to school to spread the news.
