Lauren hugged her books tightly as she stepped into the school known as Degrassi. She already missed California. The beaches, surfing, hanging out with friends on the pier. Those were the good days. She hoped that she would go unnoticed the whole day. But who wouldn't notice her? Her Long Brown hair and her hazel eyes stuck out from the rest of the school.
She looked down as she was walking, and bumped into someone. Without bothering to look at who it was, she apologized as she bent down on the cold floor and picked up her books.
"Here, let me help you," The guy said as his hand touched Lauren's hand while picking up a book. Lauren had never seen any guy more gorgeous before. Those soft eyes and that curly brown hair.
"I'm Craig Manning. Are you new here?" he said as he got up and brushed off some dust on his shirt.
"Yeah. I was on my way to Mr. Simpson's home room," she said as she blushed.
Her cheeks turned a rosy color that made Craig laugh.
"I have him too. Do you know where his class is?" Craig asked.
"No, I'm kinda lost," she said as she reached for her school map.
Let me help you. Follow me." He said as he started walking. Lauren didn't notice that he was leaving, until she looked up from her map and noticed he was gone.
"Hey. Wait for me!" Lauren said as she started running.
Craig turned around realizing that Lauren wasn't following him. He turned around the corner to get her, when he bumped into her. She fell right into his arms.
They just paused for a second not saying anything to each other while Lauren was still in his arms.
His arms are so warm, Lauren thought.
She fits perfectly into my arms, Craig thought.
Their moment was ruined when the bell rang. She slipped away from his arms. Lauren looked up at his face and saw him smiling.
She smiled back. Maybe Degrassi won't be so bad. They both quickly walked to the classroom, and snuck in without Mr. Simpson not noticing. Or at least they thought he wouldn't notice. Mr. Manning. Ms. McDaniel.
Craig cringed when he heard his name. You'll be joining me after school in detention, right?
"Mr. Simpson, this is my fault. I accidentally knocked over her books and she got hurt. And so..." Craig couldn't' think of an excuse.
"And so..." Mr. Simpson said impatiently.
"And so he helped me get to class because my foot hurt!" Lauren said as she interrupted.
"Really..." Mr. Simpson said suspiciously.
"Yeah, and I was limping," she tried to explain.
"Is this what happened Craig?"
"Yes sir." Craig said reluctantly. He glanced over at Lauren, and mouthed Thank you. As she winked at him. Little did they know that Manny saw this, and got furious with Lauren.
