Generation. I only own any character that I produce through my own
imagination.
Her hair is layered in the latest style; her mini skirt ceases to exist below her mid thigh. She looks at herself in the mirror and adjusts her halter-top. She hears someone calling her and grabs her bag and sunglasses before heading down stairs.
"Good morning."
"Hey sis, looking hot today."
She smiles at the boy with the light brown hair and the amazing hazel eyes. He sits with a slight slump in his posture against the chair. His dark blue shirt and jeans are creaseless.
They all sit at the table, mother, father, brother and sister. They are the perfect family, or so it seems. They finish breakfast quickly and the boy stands up.
"Shall we?"
The boy flashes a dazzling smile in her direction. She smiles and takes him by the arm as they walk out the door. As they walk down the road, the girl looks up at the boy and sighs a little.
"You know the girls are going to be swooning all over you like always."
"Yeah."
The boy grins and the girl hits him across the shoulder. The boy looks down at his sister; although she is a year younger then he, she doesn't look or act like it. At that moment, Degrassi Community School appears in the distance.
"So, are you ready for grade 12?"
The girl looks at him and pauses for a second as if in deep thought.
"Bring it on!"
The girl laughs aloud at her cliché remark but neither of them mind that much. The girl takes the boy's arm and they walk towards the building. Anyone would have thought they were going out, but of-course the reality is different.
People are whispering as they walk through the halls. Their shoes do not make a sound on the polished floors of Degrassi. Suddenly from behind them, they hear a voice.
"Ashley!"
Both the girl and the boy turn around. Craig runs through the door and as he runs past them, he bumps into the girl. The girl rubs her shoulder lightly and Craig turns around to yell an apology in her direction. Then he stops.
He blinks a few times and his mouth hangs open. He stares at her strangely. The girl turns and the boy leans down she whispers.
"How am I supposed to do this?"
"Your name is Evette, remember?"
"Okay."
"You'll be fine, it'll be hard but as long as you don't tell them."
Evette nods and turns back to Craig. She looks at him for a long time and he looks back. He is bigger and older then she envisioned him to be. But it has 2 years already, people change.
"Evonne?"
Craig asks unable to believe what he was seeing. The girl in front of him did not look like Evonne but something about her seemed to remind him so much of Evonne it was frightening. But Evonne disappeared over 2 years ago.
Evette smiles at Craig.
"No, I think you have the wrong person. Hi, my name is Evette. And this is my brother Jason."
"Oh, hey, sorry, I have to go. Bye."
"Bye."
Craig runs off and soon disappears into the gradually forming crowd. Evette turns to Jason.
"Seriously Jas, I don't look that much like I use to right?"
"Nah, not really. Come on sis, you have to tell me about these people."
"Okay, let's go."
Evette and Jason walk through the halls as Evette points out people. She stops as she sees Manny. Manny is the one among these people that have changed the most. She is taller, she has a figure, she is much more beautiful.
"Let me guess, Manny, right?"
"Yeah Jason, you're so smart."
Evette rolls her eyes at him as he smiles like a spastic puppy at her.
"Thank-you."
"Come on we have to go, lucky we're in the same class, what would I do without you?"
"Um.die?"
"Oh ha ha. Very funny Jas. Let's go."
Evette and Jason walk into a room with all it's tables arranged in a semi circle facing the front. She smiles at the teacher who is sitting at the front of the room. The teacher stands up and smiles at them.
"Hi, we're new."
Evette is staring off into the distance somewhere on the other side of the window as Jason talks to the teacher.
"Okay, class, since all of you are students from last year, these are our new students."
Evette gazes just above the other student's heads. She's going through the same thing again. The new student syndrome but this time she had Jason.
"My name's Jason and this is my sister Evette. We're from San Francisco."
Evette smile on cue and she can see the class smiling back at her. She knows that a significant female portion of the class are hardly smiling at her. They're smiling at her incredibly handsome and charming brother. She figures that some of the girls will get to know her and eventually get to know Jason.
For the first time she surveys the room properly. She finds herself looking into the eyes of the people that she used to know sitting in front of her. She finds herself smiling a genuine smile as Jason tugs on her arm and she follows him to a seat next to Craig. She glances at him; he is not looking at her. She looks back and finds herself staring at Paige's smiling face.
"Hey, my name's Paige Michalchuk."
"Hi, I'm Evette."
"I know hun."
'Oh, okay."
"You know you remind me of someone."
Evette raises her eyebrows. Silently acknowledging the fact that those acting classes Jason made her take with him may just pay off.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
The bell rings to signal the end of homeroom. Evette picks up her bag and slings it over her shoulder.
"Come on Jas, let's go."
Evette drags a reluctant Jason away from the group of swooning girls. Evette rolls her eyes as she walks away. It was the same everywhere. Sometimes she wished she had a geek for a brother instead of a muscular, state basketball jock.
"As if you didn't have a big enough fan club in San Francisco."
"Hey, I can't help it if the women can't resist me."
"Girls, Jas, they're girls not women."
"Jealous of my popularity are you."
"As if I'd be jealous of a jock."
"This coming from the former head cheerleader?"
"Shut up."
"Okay, okay sorry, don't cry now."
"As if."
Evette pinches Jason's arm. Jason yells in pain and rubs his arm as if Evette actually hurt him.
"Wimp."
Evette mutters under her breath as they walk into the media immersions room.
Her hair is layered in the latest style; her mini skirt ceases to exist below her mid thigh. She looks at herself in the mirror and adjusts her halter-top. She hears someone calling her and grabs her bag and sunglasses before heading down stairs.
