I wake up this morning to my mom standing in front of me with an angry look on her face.

"So I got a phone call yesterday saying that you weren't in school, but, if I do remember correctly, we had a nice little conversation before you left… Care to explain?"

"It was too much so I took some time off at The Dot." I said, hoping she wouldn't be too hard on me.

"Some time off? Do you know what that absence will do to your record? You'll never get into a good college if this is how you plan on running your life from now on!" She yelled as her face changed from pink to red.

"Maybe this IS how I want to run my life!" I yelled back as I walked out. I didn't feel like taking another Dot day, so instead I decided to go to Degrassi. As I walked in the doors, a flurry of students walked by with books in their hands. This is how it is. Suddenly, I hear a crash around the corner. Desperate for some action, I run across to the noise. I see a tough-looking girl shoving a tiny girl into a locker. The good part of me wants to run over and stop her, but the bad part of me takes over and I end up helping with kicking the locker closed. We exchange a quick high-five when she looks at me strangely.

"Aren't you Anya? Anya MacPherson?" she asks.

"Yeah, so?" I retort with a hard glare.

"I heard about Little Miss Social Anya. Ran the Freedom Fast 2 years ago. Head cheerleader on the Power Squad. What are you of all people doing hurting a 'poor defenseless niner'?"

" I got tired of that old image so I'm trying something new. Why? Got a problem?"

" Whoa! No need to get all fake tough on me. If you really want to prove yourself, come with me to make fun of that loser, Sav." Bianca challenged. I didn't want to trash my new ex. He still meant so much to me. But I need to get myself into something different and attract new guys. If this is part of it, I'll do whatever it takes. Even trashing my first love.
