Chapter 2: Trynna Finda Way
Emma's POV
I watched as the car drove up to Degrassi Community School. I learned that I've been going here since grade seven and now I'm in grade 12. So that means that this is the last year at this school.
Then why does it feel like my first?
I though that, wait, um Snake was just going to drop me off but as he parked in front of the building and I got out of the car, so did he. I thought that maybe he just wanted to see how my "first day" goes but as we entered the school he turned to me, said
"Have a good day", gave me some papers and walked away.
I followed him to a room with a few glass walls and I saw computers in the room. He sat at the front desk and that's when I realized he must have been a teacher at, uh Degrassi. I looked down at the papers that Snake gave to me. They had my locker number and combination, my class schedule and some kind of flier of a school dance happening later on this week. I walked to my locker, taking a look around the school as I went. When I opened it inside were books and binders and some other supplies. I heard someone call my name.
"Emma!"
I heard them call me again and I look out from inside my locker to see a tall boy with blonde hair coming towards me. I didn't know who he was.
"Hey, your back," he said when passed through various students and finally arrived at my locker.
"Back from where?" I manage to drag out confused by what he had just said. That's been happening a lot lately. The confused part. He seemed a little stuck by what I said.
"Um, never mind. I think we have math together." He said looking at the schedule in my hand.
"Who are you?" I asked the boy. He's just been going on like I obviously knew who he was when I've never seen this guy in my life.
"Uh, Peter" He said looking at me all strange.
"Oh, well nice to meet you Peter but I really have to go," I said closing my locker and going to my math class.
When I stepped into the room I noticed it didn't look like a class room at all. More like a small office.
I heard the bell ring from outside the door and when I turned around there was a women in a light blue shirt and a black suit coming in and shutting the door behind her.
"Hi, you must be Emma," she said looking me in the eye which sort of made me uncomfortable already.
"I though this was my math class." I said.
"It is. I'm Ms. Sauve. I'll be tutoring you until we get you back where you were before…" She trailed off but then started up again, "I'm also the school guidance counselor so if you ever need to talk about anything I'm here" She took a seat behind a large desk and I just nod my head.
"Um, before what?" I ask her talking about what she was about to say before.
"Oh never mind about that. Let's get started so we can have you back in a regular classroom soon. I'm sure you'll understand this stuff. It's the easiest.' She said putting a smile on her face.
A fake one I'm sure.
