Ellie woke up in Marco's bed. She looked up to see him standing over her.
"Holy Crap!" She screamed and jumped at the sight of him.
"Rise and shine." Marco replied happily.
"What, what happened?"
"You don't remember coming to my house in the rain?"
"I remember that but I don't remember ending up in your perfectly made up bed, in your spot-less room."
"You feel asleep watching TV. I slept on the couch."
"You shouldn't have done that."
"I was fine with it. But get up school in an hour."
"The pain of my existence." Ellie said throwing back the covers.
"Just get up."

Marco and Ellie walked down the crowded side walk to Degrassi Community School. The side walk still wet from the storm the night before. As they were walking in her mom's red Mazda pulled up next to them.
"Eleanor!" Her mother yelled the dirty car window rolled half way down.
"Walk faster." Ellie whispered to Marco.
"Get in this car right now!" the smell of alcohol came escaping from her mouth when she yelled.
"No." Ellie simply replied.
"If you don't get in this car don't plan on coming home."
"Fine! I'll stay with Ashley."
"Good, they can deal with you sorry ass!" She yelled driving off.
"She never had no liked getting her way." Ellie said after a few minutes of silence.
"Is she always like this?" Marco asked.
"When my father is around.no. She is completely normal."
"What is normal really."
"Whatever it is. It's the opposite of whatever that act my mom just pulled was." Ellie replied pulling open the front doors of Degrassi.
"See you in homeroom." Marco said stopping at his locker while Ellie walked on.
Elle turned onto another hall way. She met up with Ashley was putting on a smile that meant 'this is so fake, I'm really not happy I'm heartbroken.'"
"Hey Ellie." Ashley greeted.
"Hi Ash. Is it okay if I stay over? My mom has gone crazy again?"
"What happened?"
"Big fight. She told me not to come home. So can I come over?" Ellie asked.
"Sure. But you are going to tell me what happened right?"
"Yea, but later. I have to get to class." Ellie said turning around and starting to walk to class.
Ellie entered Mr. Armstrong's class room and walked passed Paige who gave her an evil glare, and sat down.
"Homework please." Mr. Armstrong said as he entered the class room.
Ellie laid it on top of the pile, knowing most of it was wrong but at least she did it. Then Liberty came up on the morning announcements. Ellie had always thought Liberty was a little bit on the strange side. But when she started getting very excited about the dance that week Ellie knew it was true.
"Great so I have to spend my day and night time with all of them what a joy."
"Hey Ellie." Ashley whispered.
"What?"
"The dance, sound cool."
"Yea if you have someone to go with."
"Having a date is way overrated. Besides who cares you'll go with Marco."
"I don't want to go with anyone let alone Marco. I don't really even want to go."
"Girls stop talking, please were starting class." Mr. Armstrong said forcefully.
Ellie flipped to an open page in her note book and started to take notes. When class was over she made her way through the crowded over populated hallway, to try and open her locker that had been sticking lately.
"Can I help you with that?" A voice she really didn't recognize asked.
"Why bother it's just to get another book for another class I'm failing." Ellie replied turning around to see Sean Cameron.
"Maybe if you had the books you wouldn't be failing.
"Trust me it's not the books that I need. I just need a stress free life and quick." Ellie said turning back to her locker desperately just needing to get it open.
Finally the lock clicked and the door opened. Ellie grabbed her notebook for Media Immersions and turned around. But Sean was gone, and no where to be seen down the hall. So Ellie shut her locker and walked slowly to the M.I Lab. She passed Ms. Sauve's office and stopped in front of the door. But in the end decided not to go in.
"Holy Crap!" She screamed and jumped at the sight of him.
"Rise and shine." Marco replied happily.
"What, what happened?"
"You don't remember coming to my house in the rain?"
"I remember that but I don't remember ending up in your perfectly made up bed, in your spot-less room."
