I don't own Degrassi. I don't own much of anything, my computer doesn't even have sound right now.
But for those of you with sound, I recomend the song which the title of the story comes from, its by Allison Moorer.
Also--Rory's father is named Edgar, not James as mentioned in an eariler chapter. All errors are mine.
Soft Place to Fall: Chapter Six
The first two weeks of classes went by quickly. Rory ate lunch with Craig almost every day, she'd also eaten once or twice with Ellie and Ashley. However, Ashley seemed hostile to Rory because of her friendship with Craig. Rory didn't enjoy dealing with that sort of thing, so she went back to eating lunches with Craig and sometimes tutoring Ellie in math after school. She'd also gone to the movies with Emma and Chris once, and once with Emma and Craig. Rory was getting used to Degrassi, and liked it much better than Elmwood Prep.
It was the third week of classes when Rory's English professor gave out an assigment. The teacher had put everyone into pairs and given them a poem that involved mentions of flowers. They were to write about the flower mentioned in the poem, and give a projet on that flower. Rory and Craig had been given e.e. cumming's "Somewhere i have never traveled," which mentioned roses.
"At least we got an easy flower." Craig said. "And I know you're smart."
"At math, Craig. I'm smart at math."
"Whatever." They set to work on the project that lunch hour in the library.
After school Rory saw Ellie and Ashley walking and waved them other. "Do you guys need a ride?"
"Sure!" Ellie hopped into the car, and Ashley followed, not looking very happy about it. The girls gave Rory directions, and they headed off.
"Thanks for the algebra help, Rory, i got a B on the test!"
"Oh, thats good."
"I didn't know you were helping Ellie." Ashley spoke, and Rory sat in shock for a moment, at that rare event.
"I helped her after school yesterday."
"We should hang out sometime, all three of us." Ellie wanted for Rory and Ashley to become friends. She liked both girls, and hated that Ashley couldn't stand Rory. Ellie felt it was stupid to 'punish' Rory for making friends with Craig.
"I'd like that." Amazingly enough, Rory meant it. She was getting used to Degrassi, and she liked Ellie, and felt she would like Ashley. Ashley just needed to get off of her high horse about Craig.
"Maybe this weekend?" Ashley offered. She wanted to like Rory, she really did, but something about Rory struck Ashley as odd. Like she carried around something in her head that no one else knew about.
As they got closer to Ashley's house, Rory's phone rang. "Hello."
"Aurora Maxwell." ONly one person would say her name like that, drawing out all the sylables. It was Craig. "What are you up to Aurora."
"I hate it when you use my full name. And I'm driving Ellie and Ashley home."
"Come over after you are done, Aurora Maxwell."
"You sound like a serial killer when you say my name that way. And why the hell did I tell you what my real first name is?"
"Because you adore me Aurora Maxwell."
"listen, I'll call you when I drop Ashley and Ellie off, you can torture me more then." At that Rory hung up the phone mumbling under her breath "Idiot boy"
"Was that Craig?" Ellie had to ask. "Because he told me the other day that he knew your real first name."
"Yes, and he keeps using my full name. Its annoying."
"What is your full name?" Ashley had just assumed that Rory was her full name.
"Aurora. Like the princess." Ashley nodded, and they pulled into the Kerwin/Isaacs driveway, letting her out. Then Rory took Ellie home and headed to Craig's house, calling to let him know she was coming.
