"Thank god this is my last year at school. I couldn't take it to go through all this again" Said Ashley Kerwin to herself as she approached Degrassi Community School for her first day of school for the year.
Over the holidays she had decided to grow her hair out again and dye it a very dark red. She still wore her black clothes but with some colour added.
As she started walking up the stairs she saw a group of people walk past. It was Paige, Hazel, Terri and Ellie trailing along behind.
"Hey guys!" Ash said trying to be cheerful.
Before anyone else good say hello Paige rudely said "Argh look who it is. Trying to get more attention with a new look hey? Well its not going to do fix what you did years ago, so if I were you. I would just stop trying hun."
Then Paige walked off with Hazel and Terri following. Ellie though stayed behind and waited for them to be out of earshot before saying, "Hey Ash! Don't listen to her. She's having a bad hair day or something so she's probably just jealous. Don't let her get to you again."

"Yah your right, its no biggy." Ash said as the first bell went as a signal to go to class. They walked into their first class with Mr Simpson. They were they last people to come in to the room.
As Ashley walked into the room Jimmy saw her first. "Oh my god she has changed again! I thought she was hot before, look at her now! I wish we were together again." He thought to himself.
"Ah the vampire is back that is no longer much of a vampire!" joked Spinner who was sitting next to Jimmy.
"Shut up Spinner" said Jimmy coming back to reality. Before Spinner could say anything to this Mr Simpson stood up in front of the class.
"Good morning students and welcome to your final year at Degrassi. We have one new student in our class this year, everybody this is Lily Saunders. A tall solid girl stood up and faced the class. She had long red hair that went down to her waist and very green eyes. She wore faded jeans with a studded white belt and a pale pink tank top.
"OK everyone I think we have some time for Lily to tell us a bit about herself." Mr Simpson said.
"Um ok Hey people my name is Lily Saunders and I come from Sydney Australia but this year my father got moved here because he is in the military so yeah. Uh I like music, movies, my friends, shopping and my have animals are dolphins and horses but my favourite horse is my own Belle. And that's about it really." Lily said.
"I wanna know something" piped up Spinner. "Are you single?"
The class laughed but before she could answer the bell went and everybody started moving to their next class.
Ashley ran up to meet Lily. "Hey I'm Ashley but my friends call me Ash so you can too." She said giving Lily a big grin.
"Hey Ash. What classroom is English? I really don't get my schedule." Lily asked.
"Oh ok let me have a look at it." Ash said trying to help the new girl out.
"Oh my god! We are in exactly all the same classes! So I guess you won't be worrying where all the classrooms are." Ash joked.
"Oh cool." Lily said giving Ash a high five. Soon Ellie caught up with them and the three of them chatted for the rest of the day.
