"Degrassi Community School. What kind of Name is that?" She asked herself as she read the sign in front of her new school. Her father had put her on a plane to Canada to live with her cheating mother the first thing in the morning. She still could not believe that she had to live with her mom and new husband. He was just so disgusting. She could not understand what her mother saw in him, but then she remembered he was rolling in the dough. Money was the one thing her mom could not resist. What a gold digger, leave and break up a happy home for money. That did not make any sense.

"Hey are you new here." A girl asked her breaking Melissa's trance. Rolling her eyes she replied, "Looks that way doesn't it." The girl lifted one eyebrow and started to say something when someone called her name. "Paige." A chubby boy called out motioning her over. Melissa shook her head and walked up the steps. Just as she reached for the handle so did another hand. She looked up to see a pair gorgeous blue eyes staring back at her. "I saw that back there. Kinda harsh. I like that." He said with a sly smile.

"Excuse me?"

"It's just that no one around here talks to Paige like that."

"Oh. I guess she is Degrassi's "Miss IT." Right?"

"Right."

"Well, Miss Bitch is in town."

"Uh-huh. Well does Miss Bitch have a name?"

"Melissa." She said holding out her hand. He shook it and said "Sean."

"Well Sean, can you point me in the direction of the office."

"Yes, I can, but I'll do you one better. I'll take you there." He led her inside and down the halls of Degrassi. "I live in that office."

"Wow, we have a trouble maker on our hands."

"Naw, jus wrong place wrong time kinda person." They laughed. They reached the office doors. "thanks for helping me find it."

"No problem, but if you really appriacated it you could make it up to me."

"And how could I do that?"

"By have lunch with me and my crew." She opened to door and said, "Sure, as long as you don't eat with the blonde chick."

"I've never eaten with her and don't plan on it."

"Aight. Ill be there." With that Melissa walked in the office.

Melissa stood at the front desk waiting for the fat red headed women to get off the phone. She could tell it was a personal call. She was starting to get restless. "Excuse me?" the lady behind the desk held up one finger signaling for one more minute. Melissa sided and crossed her arms. She could not believe this. She looked down at her watch then out the glass doors. The hallways were clear. She relized she was missing homeroom. She tried again, "Excuse me?" No answer. The lady just turned around and continued talking. Finally Melissa could not take anymore. She leaned over the counter and hung up the phone. "Excuse me?" the repcepionist asked. "So you do know what that means." Melissa replied.

"What." Melissa rolled her eyes.

"Look, I'm Melissa Burke. My mother registered me yesterday, Katherine Overton. They told her I could pick my sheldule up here."

"Well Melissa Burke, they told your mother right. Everyone is in homeroom right now." Melissa took it and began to walk away, when the woman called out, "Congradulations on finding the office. I hope you have the same luck finding detention this afternoon." She handed her a pink slip. Melissa just shoved it in to her pocket without reading it. She walked out in search of room 504.
