~September 2~
The loud beeping of the alarm clock filled my ears. I didnt make any movements to turn it off as I had been regretting this day all summer. Today was the day where all the Degrassi students would step back in that building. The building that I hated to see everyday.Me, Terri was going back to school.
Slowly my hand raised and pushed the button of the clock. Pushing myself up from bed I looked over to the clothes laying on my dresser that was picked out by me for today. Slipping on my pair of flare jeans and my pink short sleeved shirt I looked over to the clock 7:00, just enough time to put up my hair and slap on some make-up before school.
Going down the stairs my dad sar on our green sofa with a glass of coffee,"Ready to go,Kiddo?",he asked me with a wide grin.
I nodded,"I guess as ready as I'll ever be",I followed him out to are cream colored Ford Taurus. He jumped into the driver's seat and waited for me to take a seat. I plopped my purple backpack in the back as I seated next to him.
It was raining today. Looking out of the wet windows I thought about my previous years.And hoped to god that this one would be better. I had always been friends with, Paige, Hazel, and Ashley. Sure I got along pretty good with everyone. Never really having any enemies. And perhaps that could be because I was always in the background. I never really spoke much, being a shy person. Good things always seemed to happen to Paige and Hazel. They were the popular, beautiful, and not to mention thin girls that every guy seemed to want. They always talked to me about relationships, boys and such. Me myself I had never had a boyfriend I was the fat ugly girl that no one took a second glance at.
The car pulled to a stop as we were infront of Degrassi school. I pushed the door open,"Have a good day at school Terri",my dad told me.
Faking a smile,"I will, Dad",I pulled my backpack over my shoulder and shut the car door. I didnt bother looking back as the car drove away behind me. This year had to be better. I would make it if I had to.
Making myself go up the long stairs to Degrassi was harder to do then I thought. Seeing alot of familiar faces I made myself smile at most of them. Someone tapped on my shoulder as I turned around to see Ashley and Craig smiling and looking as happy as ever.
"Hey Terr..",Ashley walked up the stairs right beside me.
"Hey Im going to see Sean...Seeya girls later",he smiled at us. One of those smiles a boy could give a girl that would make here pratically melt.I couldnt tell you how badly I wanted Craig. How badly last year I just wanted to give him hugs and kisses while he greived from the lost of his father. He was the only guy who would actually stay behind and actually have a conversation with me.But he was Ashley's and I could not even think even think of trying to be with him. For one thing Ashley was my friend and I would never take her guy. And the other reason its not like he or any other boy would take a second glance at me. I was just Terri the girl who was always friends with Ashley,Hazel, or Paige.

The building looked the same as it had always. There was great exciment around due to the first day of school.Walking up the steps to the main room of the building Hazel ran up to me. This summer I had really been trying to get over my rape. And to get the name Dean out of my head. I had finally confessed the scene to my mom who had immedietly suggested that counciling would help. I had also went to meeting and talked to other girls that had been raped too. I hadnt kept very close contact with friends from school. And now heading up the stone stairs I wasnt even sure I wanted to see them again.
"Paige hey!",she grinned widely,"Come over here where everyone else is",she dragged me over to a small table where Jimmy and Spinner sat. I simply gave a small smile to them as I took a seat by Hazel in one of the chairs.
"Hey Paige hows it going?",Jimmy asked me with a smile.
"Just happy about coming back to Degrassi again",I said sarcasticly.He gave a small laugh as I saw Spinner out of the corner of my eye. Looking over to him I noticed he was staring at me weirdley. As soon as he saw me he turned away.
The sound of the noisy bell filled my ears. As people got up gathering there books and heading for homeroom."So who has who first?",gathering my things together as we headed down the halls.
"Hudson...",Hazel said looking at the three of us obviously hoping ours read the same.
I sighed looking at my schedule,"Dune...",frowning at her as last year we had had all our classes together.
"Well, I have Dune",Jimmy said.Spinner nodded,"So do I..."
"Oh great! Im all by myself",Hazel sighed as she headed down the halls opposite us. Looking down the halls at the numerous doors we finally saw one titled Hudson. Opening the door I headed in followed by Spinner and Jimmy. Of course I took a seat in the back not wanting the teacher to take notice of me and ask me a question about myself or anything. The two boys took a seat on either side of me.
I knew most of the people surrounding me. There were a few who were new. Terri walked throught the door. She looked around for a moment then her head turned my direction. I gave her a smile and waved alittle. She sat in the desk infront of me and then turned my way,"Hey Paige",she said getting out her supplies.
"Hey Terri.Whats up?",I asked her. As the teacher walked in not giving her a chance to answer. The woman looked to be in atleast her fifties. She had very round overside glasses on which seemed that would slide off at any given time.
"Hello class",she began looking around the room,"I am Miss Dune"she said frowning as she slid her glasses back up her nose.
~*~*~*~*~*~
My dark hair was down over my shoulders. I pratically jolted up the stairs eager to see my friends from Degrassi. I had not kept contact with any of them besides Emma and I was eager to greet them again.
I shot the door open and looked around for any sign of anyone familiar. Emma sat at a close by table with Toby,Kendra and someone who I could not quite reconize as his back was turned to me. Walking over to the table Emma waved at me. I sat myself on the end chair.
"Hey Manny",Kendra smiled at me as did Toby.I gave them a quick grin and looked over to the guy sitting next to Emma. My eyes went wide as I realized who it was. J.T. This was not the boy from last year I had know. For one thing he looked quite taller. And his hair seemed to have grown out just a tadd that made it look a little curly under that same baseball cap.
"Hey Manny",he said giving me a smile. A smile that could make anyone melt to the floor in peices.
"Hey..",was all I could manage to say. Trying not to look like I was staring a turned my head away a bit. Looking over to Emma she gave me a look. One of those looks saying that she knows. I turned my head away from her. Damn why did she always have to know everything.
The bell rang as everyone gathered there things in there arms I did the same.,"So you Emma ,JT..",I said looking around for Toby or Kendra as I realized they had already went ahead,"Who do you guys have first?",I asked as we headed down the halls.
"Mason..",Jt sighed.,"Me too", I smiled at him.Emma let out a long sigh,"Sosa",she said heading down the halls. I sighed as she did this. The one thing I was afraid of was not having classes with her. Hoping today would turn out okay I pushed through the door ro my class. ~*~*~*~*~*~*
