Mr. Raditch walked out of his office to look for the student guides. After a few minutes he spotted them walking down the hall. "Good you guys are here, come on, come on, hurry up everyone is waiting."
Paige, Spinner, and Craig entered Raditch's office to see Emma and J.T. already sitting down. As soon as they were completely inside Raditch started ushering in the new kids. There were five of them, three girls and two guys.
"I've already paired all of you up, so you have two choices. You can stay in one big group, or separate into your pairs it's up to you." Raditch started flipping through his folder to find the right page, "When I say your name please stand up that way we'll know everyone's names. Emma Nelson annnd Mason Dirram,"
Mason was interesting. He had long black hair and tan skin, with dark green eyes, and about J.T.'s height.
"J.T. Yorke and Caysi Kirby,"
Caysi must have been the southern girl everyone was talking about. She had curly red hair and was just about covered in freckles, seriously, her arms, face, hands, and feet all freckled.
"Gavin Mason and Chad Kirby,"
All the Degrassi students could tell that the two of them were brother and sister before they even heard their names. Their faces were very similar, but if you took that away and their freckles they looked nothing alike. Chad was tall and muscular. And instead of his sister's red curls he had straight brown hair, that he wore long like Spinner.
"Paige Michalchuk and Tinka Pierce,"
Tinka still looked as amazing as she had early that day. Now she had her jacket off and you could see the wristband on her left wrist. It was black with flames across it, it really brought her outfit together.
"And finally Craig Manning and Renee Greene."
Evidently Renee was the Hawaiian girl , dark tan, brown eyes, long brown hair, and the most obvious part a hibiscus flower behind her ear. She was very pretty, and the tallest girl in the room.
"Okay well you've all been introduced, so have fun, I have some important business to attend to." And with that Mr. Raditch walked out. "Let's head out troops," Paige said holding the door open for everyone.
"Ya know if we wanna skip out early with these passes we can," Caysi said turning around to face the group. Everybody had decided to stay in one big group, they'd been walking around for about a hour and a half. And so far they'd all been getting along it was going... well. Surprisingly well.
"What do mean early," asked Paige. "She means with these passes we can extend our lunch, by lets say a couple hours." Tinka said walking over to stand next to Paige and Caysi. "I like how these girl's think," Paige said smiling at Spinner.
"Oh! I completely forgot. Ashley wanted me to say hi, she couldn't find you this morning."
"That's cause I was late," Tinka said smiling at Craig. Emma was the only one who noticed that Tinka and Craig were looking at each other the same way Paige and Spinner did. The same way she and Sean used to... but Craig wasn't the only guy looking at Tinka in that way.
"So... what do you guys do around here for fun?" asked Chad.
"Normal stuff I guess, go to the movies, hang out with friends, eat some Supa Fly Fries," answered Spinner.
J.T. groaned, "Are you ever going to get over that?"
"No."
"Woah hold up, you kinda look like the kid from the commercial, don't ya think?" Renee asked her group of friends. "You've seen it?"
"Of course we've seen it, it'd been playing in L.A. for like a month before we moved. You're the guy aren't you," Renee said turning to face J.T. "Yeah." He looked embarrassed and a little pissed off too.
"Don't worry about it," said Tinka putting her arm around J.T.'s shoulder, "The upside is my friends Rebecca and Nayun think you're really cute. "Really," he asked sounding... surprised? "Yep, don't sound so surprised I bet you've always been this cute."
"Why are you so quiet? Is she always this quiet?" Caysi said gesturing toward Emma.
"Sorry I was just... I was kinda out of it."
"That's alright," Caysi said with a giggle, "Tink does that all the time."
"Hey!"
"Oh you know you do."
"Is anyone else hungry," asked Spinner.
"Spin!" Paige said whacking him on the arm.
"What I'm sorry I'm hungry, Geesh."
"Actually I'm kinda hungry too," agreed Renee.
"Do we all want go for lunch," Paige asked.
Everyone said yes, it was twelve thirty and they were all secretly starving.
"We have to walk though none of us have cars," Craig told the group.
"We can take my car," said Tinka, "I brought my mom's car today, it seats nine but I've fit twelve in there before." "Cool let's go," said Paige leading the way out to the parking lot.
On the way to Tinka's car Chad noticed a few kids spray painting some, lets just say some extremely obscene phrases on one of the school's walls. "Are they supposed to be doing that?"
"Who," asked Paige," Oh my god."
"Is that how that's spelled," Caysi whispered to Tinka.
"You're such loser Kir- Holy shit. Seen!" Tinka yelled running over to where the three guys where standing. "Belle," said the shortest one turning around. As soon as he started walking over all of the returning Degrassi students recognized him, Sean.
He and Tinka hugged, then he asked her, "Belle what are you doing here?"
"My parents decided to send me to public school, Now what the hell do you think you were doing?"
"No I wasn't -"
"What happened to staying out of trouble?"
"Their old friends, I was trying to get them to stop look at my hands see no paint," he explained showing Tinka his paint free hands.
"Thank god, I was worried. Ellie would be so proud."
"Yeah.. Hi Emma."
"Hi Sean."
"Hi Sean, here you'd better take this," Caysi said coming over to give him a hug and a pink slip of paper. "Thanks Caysi, what is it?"
"It's a pass," Caysi told him, "Your going to need it."
"Why?"
"Hey! What do you kids think you're doing," yelled Mr. Raditch. He'd been on his way back to his office when he noticed a bunch of kids defacing school property and that was something he couldn't ignore. After he yelled two of them took off but at least he'd get the rest of the trouble makers. "Why Mr. Cameron what a surprise it is to see you here. This means four weeks detention, come on."
"But I didn't do anything."
"Mr. Cameron I caught you red handed don't try to deny it."
"Mr. Raditch he's been with us the whole time," Tinka told him.
"You can check sir," said Chad, "He has a pass." Sean pulled the pink slip out of his back pocket and handed it to the principal.
Mr. Raditch finally looked around to see the rest of his posse, it was all the new kids and the tour guides, including Miss Pierce. "Oh my I'm so sorry my mistake, Sean I hope you can accept my apology. Well I must be getting back to my office have fun kids."
"So you wanna play hookie and come to lunch with us?"
"Sorry Belle cutting class counts as getting into trouble."
"Fine, see ya later."
"Bye."
"Come on guys," Renee said showing them which car was Tink's. It took a little effort but after five minutes they finally fit all ten of them in the black SUV.
"Hey Tinka."
"Yeah."
"I thought you said your dad got lost," Craig said.
"Oh yeah, I lied."
"So what are you guys in the mood for?"
"I feel like burgers," said Renee, "Is that okay with everyone else?"
Everyone said something in agreement, except for Emma.
"So little Miss Emma are burgers okay with you."
"Ah no, I'm a vegetarian."
"That's fine will stop and grab you something on the way, alright."
"Yeah, thanks."
"Uh huh, so where's the closest In-N-Out?
"What an In-N-Out?"
