So Erica goes into the office asking where her locker is going to be and where Ms. Kwans class is located. She finds out that her locker is right next to Jimmy's and is right around the corner from Craigs(but of course she doesn't know that), and about three lockers away from J.T's(the fact that her locker is surrounded with alot of boys doesn't phase her) She looks around and checks out the area of where her locker is... she doesn't seem to care where her locker is like Paige and Hazel do... as I said earlier, she works with what she gots... so she gets her toy machine folder out of her back pack and starts to decorate the inside of her locker door with pictures and such before the bell rings to go to Ms. Kwans class. In the middle of her decorating, she feels a tap on her shoulder... It's Mr. Raditch, she of course had her headphones on a didnt hear when he (at first) called her name. So he had to tapped her on her shoulder... Erica takes off her headphones and turns around, " oh, it's just you" she chuckles and gets back to what she was doing. Mr. Raditch doesn't like how she approached him... " I just wanted to welcome you to Degrassi and to sa-"

Erica interrupts him, " yeah yeah I know I know.. welcome to Degrassi high bazooka and such.. I've heard a million of times.. Thank you Mr. Raditch for welcoming me to this lovely school" she puts on her headphones and gets back to what she was doing.

He gets a tone in his voice, " that isn't the only reason why I came to your locker Miss. America

(can't use my REAL last name so yeah...) I came to tell you that your shirt is innapropriate and after today I don't want to see it on you again"

shes irritated with the fact that he called her by her real name, so she gets defensive, " whats wrong with my shirt" she says while looking down at her shirt, " all it says is know your mushrooms.. do you get it? mushrooms from those ancient mario games from the 80's.. you should know ALOT about the 80's..." she mumbles, "and the 70's"

" I get your shirt.. I think it has a different meaning to it"

" you're sadly mistaken..." she gathers her books " sorry I would love to chat BUT I have to go to class.. you want the best for your students don't you Mr. Raditch?" She walks away

Craig witnessed this and decided to talk to her...

" uhm.. hey." he says

" uhm.. hey to you too" she says while taking off her headphones, " I must be the only person here with a talk to me sign or something because too many people have encountered me today... and it's really starting to bug the hell out of me"

He can hear the music from her headphones and decides that it'll be the nice way to start of conversation, " you like The Strokes?"

" yes, Yes I do..in a matter of fact, I am obssessed with The Strokes... How about you?" she says while starting to walk towards class

" yes I do... So does my girlfriend"

She starts to joke, " aww.. do you guys sit in your living room canoodling listening to the strokes.. how cute"

" will that make you jealous?" he jokes back

" Jealous? I hardly know you!!! ...So what do you people around hear do for fun? any raves? clubs? malls? hang-out spots? fill me in."

" well, there is the dot.... a resturaunt we hang out at.. raves do go on.. but you'll have to ask Manny and/or Chris about those and there is the toranto mall.. very nice mall if I do say so myself... and I am having a party.. this Friday at my house, if you would like to come."

" thank you.. and I will think about going to your party... So I will be going to class now... Good-bye... whats your name?"

" Craig... and yours?"

" Erica.. see ya later" she walks into the class room...
