Title: Love Keeps Us Together
Summary: About a couple, you'll find out soon in chapter 2 or maybe chapter 1, if you can figure it out. A romantic story, but filled with drama in the later chapters.
Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi. I wish I did though (tear, tear).
Chapter 1
It was Monday morning.
The shades on her bedroom window were opened up. She could feel the sun's warmth on the right side of her face. It took a few minutes for her to be fully awake. One of her eyes cracked open, then a few seconds later, the other eye opened too. She rolled over on the left side of her body and looked at her alarm clock. Her hazel-green eyes looked at the glowing red numbers on it. It was 7:30… 7:30! She jolted out of bed and ran to the bathroom. She scrubbed the green mint toothpaste on her teeth as fast as she could, sprayed soap and water on her body in under two minutes, slipped on the cleanest blue jeans she could find in her dresser, and the most decent blouse she could find laying around on the floor.
Dashing down the stairs and grabbing a granola bar on the kitchen table, she said a jumble of words, "Gotta go, gonna be late for school!" She looked at the small, brown leather watch on her wrist. She could make it in time if she walked faster and took the little shortcut on Broad St.
As she reached Degrassi she started to feel incredibly tired. Her tiredness weighed her down like a ton of bricks on top of her body. Her brain was telling her that she needed to rest, but her body kept walking up the cement steps of the school.
"Hey!" Emma's cheerful voice called out to her. Emma's fingers on her left hand were intertwined with Peter's fingers. They were very close and cuddly, as a couple would act.
She didn't feel like waving, she felt too tired to lift her arm and wave her hand in a back and forth motion. But of course she waved back, she was raised to be polite and Emma was her friend. She walked to homeroom like a zombie, unaware of the other students buzzing and talking around her.
When she got into homeroom, a few people were there, but the bell hadn't ringed yet. She sat down in a chair near a wall in the room. The wall was her pillow. She rested her head on the wall and closed her eyes. It would only be for a few seconds, as soon she heard the bell ring she would open her eyes instantly. She would rest for just a few seconds…or a minute…or two.
