A/N: This is my first fic, but hopefully not my last. Please R&R, no matter what you think of it, and please sign them, I really do dislike it when people praise and I can't thank them for their praise or whatever. I will switch POV a couple times in here, the main ones will be Marco, Lio, Dylan, and a general on. So I will apologize now if I slip up. Also, I have issues dealing with past, present, and future tenses, so sorry if I screw up on them!

Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi or any of it's sexy characters, (read Dylan, Marco, Sean, etc.), but I do own Lio. And if you want to use him in one of your fics just ask.

Distribution: Just let me know what you are planning to do with my story and I will ponder on the matter.

Background: This takes place at the end of what ever season we are on. (Check the date, and compare.) Only now Marco and Dylan are dating, but pretty much everything else is the same, Craig is still a scum-bag who doesn't deserve a second glance at from any of the Degrassi girls, Emma and Sean are broken up, Manny is still dressing all slut-like, well you get the picture. This will start out at the beginning of the new school year, where it is Liolis [Leo-liss] Stratus's [Strat-tuss] first day at Degrassi Community School. Enjoy! Ne! -

P.S. Lio and Dylan dated a while back but had to break up a while back cause Lio had to move. Don't worry I will explain all in the story.

Lio

Tossing and turning in my bed, trying to find a comfortable position, sleep eludes me. Of course it didn't help that the morning sun was glaring at me through my bedroom window. "Where are my damn curtains?" I think to myself. Turning away from window I open my eyes slowly and reluctantly, wishing for more sleep. The room revealed to me was slightly foreign. It took me a few moments to realize that I was in my new house, in my new bedroom.

My dad and I had moved back to Canada, just near Toronto. I hated moving, and was totally opposed to the idea of moving again, but my dad has swayed me with having the entire third floor of our house to myself. Little did I know at the time, the entire third floor was the attic. When we arrived and I learned of this, my dad thinking I would be beyond upset offered me one of the bedrooms. I turned him down flat telling him even though he had tricked me I would let it slide. I had spent the better part of the past two and half weeks unpacking boxes, when not unpacking I was usually found hiding the walls of my room with my large poster collection.

My father hollers for me from the stairs to get my butt out of bed and get ready for school. Only not so nicely phrased. Groaning and rolling out of bed at the same time I hit the off button on my alarm clock before it had a chance to begin it's annoyingly loud chirp telling me it was time to get up. Only after a few seconds of being out of bed I really begin to notice how cold I was. I mean after all, I had only been sleeping in my black silk boxers! (A/N: )

Picking out some pants, a shirt, socks, and a fresh pair of silk boxers, I begin to wonder what the school will be like, would Dylan be happy to see me after all this time? I mean he was/is my ex-boyfriend after all. But we had only broken up because I was moving... (A/N: Lio has never attended Degrassi before, he went to another school nearby, and that is how he and Dylan dated.)

After debating on what to wear, (a tight gray short sleeve shirt, semi-baggy jeans cinched around the waist, white silk boxers, Etnies, and my ever favorite ultra-faded tan bucket hat), I peek out my door and pad down the cold stairs to the bathroom, but not before grabbing my nine rings, lip ring, and choosing carefully what earrings would fill the eight holes in my left ear and the nine in my right. I made it to the second floor bathroom without seeing my dad. Entering the bathroom I turn to close and lock the door, it wouldn't do to have my father walk in on me while I'm stark naked. Resting my head on the coolness of the painted wooden door, I realize that I have been over thinking the whole 'new school' issue. I finally just decide to deal with things as they come, like I always do. Why should a new school be any different?

Slipping off my boxers I walk across the ice cold tile floor to the shower, along the way I catch a glimpse of myself in the ridiculously over-sized mirror. My silver hair, (some how it was natural, while the rest of my body hair was black as night), is much longer than I like, almost half way down my back, I needed a trim. Before I could criticize myself further I step into the shower.

Turning on the water I take a step back, to avoid that first blast of ice water all showers seemed to love to do. After waiting a few moments, I step into the warmth of the shower, and I am reminded why the shower is my third favorite place on Earth.

After showering, drying off, getting dressed, brushing my teeth, and putting the various collection of earrings into their places along with my lip ring that loops around my lip into my mouth and back out again, I begin the fight with my hair. Finally giving up I just decide to pile it all into my bucket hat, so that if and when I did have to take it off, it would give my hair just a little bit of wave to it. Before shoving all my hair into my hat I add some color changing gel to very thin strips of my hair, turning them a very vibrant blue, and twist them all into braids along with some strands of my shiny eye catching silver hair. After completing the fight with my hair I grab my boxers from the previous night and exit the bathroom. I toss my night wear into the clothes hamper on my way to my room to grab my CDs, CD player, and the school stuff. (A/N: Note the order in which he grabs his stuff, Lio is a music-whore! LOL!)

Taking the stairs two at a time I hear my dad bustling around in the kitchen making breakfast. The sweet smells of pancakes, waffles, eggs, and bacon wafted from the kitchen. Normally the scents would make me scramble for kitchen and start wolfing down all food in sight. But today the smells just made me nauseous. That's nerves for ya... My dad, spotting me entering the kitchen, serves up a fresh batch of pancakes.

"What'll ya have?", he asks going back to the stove.

"Leaded coffee...", I mutter, voice still sounding as if I just woke up.

Turning around he glares at me. "It's the first day of school! You need to eat something!", exclaimed my father.

Holding my hands up, as if I were surrendering. "You're right, it is the first day of school. The school in which my ex-boyfriend attends. A school where I don't know anyone.", I shot back, voice sounding becoming more normal. "And besides I don't think I can hold down food."

Pouring me a cup of coffee he makes me promise to have some when I got home. After downing my coffee and going upstairs to re-brush my teeth, I start then ten minute walk to school. Along the way I see a handful of other kids. None bothering to give me so much a second glance. I manage to make it to the school a good ten minutes or so before the first bell rings. Walking across the school I observe the different people coming and going, gathering here, laughing there, one group of guys caught my eye. All of them not to hard on the eye, one of the doubling over making fake choking sounds, but no Dylan. Not sure whether to be relieved or not at the lack of Dylan, or whether be freaked out by the boy's antics, I quickly take the steps up to the double door entrance and find make my way to the office to pick up my schedule.

Marco

"Hey Marco!", said Spinner as he clapped my hand and I returned the favor.

"'Sup, Spin?"

Spinner, Craig (A/N: He may be a scum bag but I will still include him in the story.), Jimmy, and myself were all hanging out outside school. We had all decided to come a little earlier so we could catch up. Spinner, like usual, arrived late, something about his alarm plotting against him... Whatever!

"Not much, man! How was your summer?", he asked smiling.

"Great!", I replied with an equal grin on my face. "I could give you the details, but for the sake of not hearing you piss and moan, I'll just say only that Dylan and I are dating."

Even though I spared him the details, he still pulled a whole gagging routine. While doing this I noticed another guy looking at us, half of his face hidden by his faded bucket hat. I didn't really have much of a chance to see what wasn't hidden buy his hat as he bound up the steps into the building. I watched his backside as he entered the building. A wry smile crept up my face as he was absorbed by the mass of students. Luckily none of the other guys had noticed my staring, thanks to Spinner and his fit.

"What are you smiling about?", Spinner questioned me. "You usually get all moody when I tease you. What gives?"

Rolling my eyes I glance at him. "It's just good to see you haven't lost your sense of humor. No matter how much it sucks.", I smile half pushing him. Pleased with my lie, I never had been good at lying, no matter how much time I had to practice. But they all believed my little fib and went about talking about their summers.
