Authors Note: This is my first story. I hope you like!
The tires squealed as my new Dad's jeep came to a stop in front of my new school. I guess I should explain what I mean by 'new Dad'.
Well, when I was 4, my parents died in a car accident and I was forced to live with my uncle. When I turned 14, my uncle started drinking a lot. I got scared when he drank and one day, I ran away. I just wanted to escape all of the fear. My uncle found me and beat me. I called the police and he was put in jail.
Then I was officially an orphan.
Children services found a good family for me. Now, I have two 'parents', though I haven't called them Mom and Dad yet. and I have a sister named Ellie.
Ellie is pretty cool. She is a year ahead of me in school and I have already met her friends Marco and Ashley.
I have only lived with the Nash's for 3 days so I haven't gotten to know the real them. They might just be acting civil until I settle down.
So anyways. I said goodbye and Ellie and I got out of the car and watched it drive off.
"You ready?" Ellie asked.
"I think so." I said, looking skeptical.
She smiled at me and led me up the stone steps in front of 'Degrassi Community School'. We walked through the semi-crowded hall and into what appeared to be the office.
Instead of waiting for the woman to ask if we needed her assistance, Ellie walked up to the counter and said "Gracie Nash."
The woman had a confused look on her face and the said "Ms. Forth. nice to meet you."
Ellie rolled her eyes and said, "No she's my sister. she's new and we need her schedule."
Ms. Forth smiled and typed something into her computer before handing Ellie a piece of paper that appeared to be ready sitting on the counter.
Ellie turned to me and said, "Hmm. this should be fun. Locker number 385. I'm locker 849. nowhere close." She made a pouty face and we walked out of the office.
As we weaved out way through the teens in the hall, I heard "ELLIE! GRACE! WAIT UP!" I whirled around to see an unfamiliar guy running towards us. He had a camera around his neck and had curly brown hair. He was really cute but I wondered how he knew my name.
"Hey Craig." Ellie said, sounding surprised. "What's up?"
"Nothing really." He said, looking at me. He was out of breath and bent over a little, to catch it. He was eye level with me, which didn't surprise me. I was only 4'7, after all.
"Want me to help you find your locker?" He asked me, directly this time.
"Um. If you're not busy, sure. As long as El doesn't mind, that is. How to you know my name?" I said this all very fast.
He smiled, adorable smile, and said "Ash told me!"
So we walked through three different hallways before we finally found my locker. I put in the combination and it didn't open. I tried again. Still. nothing. All of a sudden a voice said "Um. that's my locker."
I turned around and saw a guy with a white hoodie, hood up, over a bandana. He looked tough and I didn't want to get him mad so I just stood there.
"Oh, hey Sean. What's up man?" Asked Craig.
"Who're you?" He asked, ignoring Craig. I knew he was talking to me, though I wasn't looking at him.
"Grace Nash." I said. "I'm new."
"Nash. Ellie's. cousin?" He asked.
"Sister" Ellie said.
"Then why are you new?" He asked, confused.
"I was adopted."
"NOT that it is any of your business." Ellie said.
