Jenny walked around the corner and at once saw the classroom. She looked through the window and saw rows of computers and found the door.
There was a man that was greeting everyone. He had short hair and a kind face. That must be the teacher. I wish he is what he looks like.
"Oh you must be Jenny! Manny told me you were coming today. Anyways I'm Mr. Simpson. Welcome to Degrassi!" The man told her the moment he saw her.
"Thanks. Hi." Jenny said. She was getting a little nervous because he was still looking at her. "Um .. where do I sit?" She asked to break the silence.
"Oh yes. You are gonna sit over here. Next to Mr. Sharpe and my step daughter Emma." He walked over and pointed to a seat between a girl with blond hair and a dark guy who had headphones around his neck.
"Hi welcome to Degrassi. Manny told me about you." The girl who must have been Emma said and smiled at her. Jenny noticed her as the girl who was saved by the guy Sean Cameron from getting shot.
"Sup. My name is Chris. Don't call me Mr. Sharpe." The guy said to her.
Jenny laughed. "Nice to meet you two, Emma and Chris."
"Let's get started. Emma, do you know if Sean is here today?"
"Dad, I already told a thousand times. Sean went back to Wasaga Beach and I don't think he coming back."
"Okay, okay. Just wanted to make sure. Oh yea by the way Jenny, since you probably don't know what we're doing just look over at Emma's or Chris' computer.
Jenny nodded and for a moment everybody stared at her. She raised her eyebrows and looked over at Emma's computer. As Mr. Simpson started talking Jenny pretended she was listening but she was thinking of what Mr. Simpson and Emma said. Manny told me you were coming today. Manny told me about you. Manny would never mention me to her friends or to anybody even if I was already here. This is really weird. Oh yea, that guy who saved that girl Emma, Sean Cameron. He left, that's too bad for Ellie. Should I ask her about it? Or should I just leave it?
Jenny jumped when someone behind her coughed. She turned around and saw Manny. I didn't know she was in this class. She then looked back to Emma's screen when Emma started talking to her.
"So this is what you have to do." Emma said.
Jenny nodded, pretending to be listening. She thought this class was very boring. Finally the bell rung and the class was over.
--------
What happened to the next 2 classes were similar to what happened to Mr. Simpson's class. She was greeted by the teachers and when the teachers mentioned her name, everyone looked at her.
At Mrs. Hatzilakos' class, she met a what people call him a "comedian." His name was JT Yorke, and he kinda annoyed her. Manny was in this class with her.
At Mrs. Kwan's class, Jenny met this girl named Liberty Van Zandt. She was really smart. Jenny noticed that Manny wasn't in this class.
Finally the bell rang for 1st lunch. She went out and went to put her new books in her locker. She took out the paper with the combination. When she finally opened her locker, she heard someone calling her name.
"Jenny! Hey Jenny!"
Jenny turned around and saw Ellie running towards her.
"You know that girl I was waiting for this morning?" Ellie said breathing heavily.
"Yea." Jenny replied.
"Well she's part of the band I was talking about. C'mon lemme introduce you to her and some other people."
"Okay." Jenny dumped her books into her locker and followed Ellie outside. Ellie walked to a group of 5 people. There was two guys and three girls. Both of the guys and one of the girls had black hair, one other girl has blond hair, and the other girl was African American who had brown hair.
"Hey you guys, I'd like you to meet someone I met this morning, Jenny. She plays the electric guitar so maybe she can be part of the band." Ellie told them as they all looked at Jenny. "Jenny, this is Craig." Ellie pointed to one of the guys who had straight short hair. "That's Marco." Ellie pointed to the other guy who had a little longer hair than Craig. "That's Ashley." She pointed to the girl sitting next to Craig, who had the short black hair. "And that's Paige and Hazel. She pointed the blond girl, then to the African American girl.
They all greeted her nicely with hi's and hello's. Jenny said hi to all of them, but she ended up looking at the guy named Marco. She thought he was really cute. Ellie seemed to notice her looking at him and whispered to her.
"I know Marco's cute, but he's gay." Ellie told her, giggling.
"If you were going out with him, you could if just told me." Jenny said to her, trying not to have any disappointment in her voice.
"I'm not lying. You're lucky that you already know he's gay. I went out with him when not even he knew he was gay. You won't believe what happened when he found out."
Jenny knew she wasn't lying. "That sucks."
"Yea, it did."
"Hey Jenny! You good at the guitar?" Ashley asked her.
"Uhh. Yea I guess."
Ashley smiled and said, "Why don't you drop by my place with your guitar. I'll give you my address." Ashley took out a piece of paper and a pencil.
"El, Jenny come sit here with us." Marco said. So they both sat down on the benches where they were all sitting at.
"So, where you move from?" Hazel asked.
"LA, which is in the US."
"Streets of LA. Niice." Craig said.
"You live close to here?" Paige asked her.
"Yea. I walk here."
"What street?" Paige asked.
Jenny didn't really memorized what street she lived in so she said, "Uhh .. I don't really know yet. I just got here yesterday. Anyways I live with Manny Santos. She's my cousin."
Paige, Ashley, and Craig flinched when she said Manny Santos. Jenny noticed that and quickly said, "Oh don't worry, we aren't anything alike. What did she do? Everyone acts like she's a monster or something.
"Okay." So you ever played in a band before?" Marco probably noticed this too and changed the subject.
"Yea. I was."
"Here, this is my phone number and my address. I put directions to my house started from here. Just in case you can't find it. Its not that far."
"Okay thanks." Jenny put the paper in her pocket.
"So .. why did you move here?" Craig asked her.
"Umm." Jenny did not want to answer this question. Lucky for her the bell rang.
"Well I have to go. See you guys later." She said and walked quickly away from them.
-----------
Well, should I tell them? Nah I only knew them for a day. Maybe in a week when I'm ready.
"Jenny. Welcome to Degrassi. I've been expecting you. You don't have to wear your PE uniform today if you don't want to since it's your first day." The coach told her as she entered the gym. (What's his name? I forgot.)
"Thanks," Jenny muttered.
She went to the girls' locker room and looked around. It was similar to her old school's girls' locker room. It has lockers and in between them were benches. There were racks for backpacks too. Against the walls on both sides were water fountains and in the very end of the room was the door to the bathroom. Jenny hooked her backpack on one of the racks and went back out to the gym when she noticed that some og the girls were staring at her.
"Hey Jenny, I was expecting you to be here." Jenny heard a familiar voice behind her.
Emma Nelson and Liberty Van Zandt were walking towards her.
"Hey, Emma and Liberty right?" Jenny replied.
"Yup." Emma and Liberty said at the same time.
"Make any friends so far." Liberty asked.
"Yea, I made a couple. I guess." Jenny said.
"Cool, so how is your day going?" Liberty asked.
"Okay." Jenny didn't really want to talk so she was getting slightly irritated.
"Okay ladies and Gents! Gather around and we will be started a new lesson of lacrosse. So everyone one sit down." The coach shouted.
Jenny relieved went and sat down beside Liberty and Emma. She looked behind her and saw Chris Sharpe, JT Yorke, Toby, and to her not surprisingly Manny. She turned back around and sat with her hands on her chin already getting bored as the coach started talking.
The rest of the classes went by pretty quickly. When she went out of the classroom from her last period she headed to her locker. She was happy that she didn't have homework and knew that she probably will the next day. She opened her locker after she entered the combination and stuffed her books inside.
"Jenny! Hey Jenny!"
Jenny turned around and saw Ashley running to her.
"You still up for later?" Ashley asked.
"Yea, of course."
"Okay good. You left kinda quickly a while ago."
"Ooh. Sorry I didn't want to be late. I heard my next was on the other side of the school." She said quietly.
"It's okay. Well see you later. Bye." Ashley said and walked off with Craig.
Jenny picked up her backpack and went out the front doors. She kinda remembered where hew new house was so she walked in that direction hoping she wouldn't get lost. But as she walked she saw familiar streets so she decided she was walking the right way. She started thinking about going to Ashley's and so she began to get excited.
Well … you like that? Sorry it took so long to do this chapter. Been busy. Please R&R!
