Well obviously I have changed somethings Maya Matlin is now Maya Nelson. She and Emma are twins and are very close and she is also Shane and Spike's daughter. I know Emma, Manny, Maya, and Alli become close quick, but it kind fits into the story like that. They have a connection they don't understand yet. There is no Clare or Jenna in this story sorry to disappoint. If you have any other questions feel free to ask please feel free to review. I hope you enjoy Alli's Dark Surprise.

I wake up to my alarm going off. I lean over and turn it off; slowly I sit up and stretch. I get out of bed and walk over to my closet. I decide for the first day I want to look super-hot so I pick out red mini skirt, a black tank top that has a red heart on it, and black pumps with a red bow. I put my shoes by my bed and run bathroom to start getting ready.

I shave, wash my hair, and wash my body. I get out smelling and feeling fresh and clean. I wrap a towel in my hair then dry my body off. I put on my undergarments, then my skirt, and finally my tank top.

I take the towel out of my hair and blow dry it. When it's completely dry I straighten it till it is completely straight without a hair out of place. Then I do my makeup I put on some black eyeliner, black mascara, pink blush, and just a little shimmer powder on my face and chest.

Next I brush my teeth and put on the finally makeup touch with is red lip gloss. I look in the mirror my makeup and hair looks perfect and I look hot! I'm so excited! I run back to my room and slip on my shoes and look at myself in my full body mirror I look good mission accomplished.

I smile as I pack up my backpack. I'm glad no one lives here currently because no one would let me out of the house looking like this. I grab my small backpack and my purse and walk to the kitchen I don't really have anything for breakfast, good thing I got up early I can stop and get something on my way to school.

I walk out my door and start walking down the side walk to school. It's such a lovely day out today. I see the Dot up ahead and decide to stop for a coffee and some breakfast. I walk in and look around I haven't really been here before Sav just brings me stuff from here.

I continue to walk and look around I bump into somebody. I look up and see a blonde girl who looks about my age with black glasses. I realize I just knocked this girl to the ground, so I offer her my hand as I say, "I'm so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going."

The girl just laughs as she takes my hand, I help her up and she says, "It's alright accidents happen. Hello, my names Maya Nelson."

I smile and say, "Hey I'm Alli Bhandari."

She smiles back and says, "Well Alli would you like to join me, my sister, and our best friend for some coffee?"

I was really about to make friends! This is amazing! I nod and she leads me over to two girls a blonde and a brunette both very pretty and look about our age. Maya says, "Guys this is Alli. Alli this," she points to the blonde, "Is my twin sister Emma. And this," she points to the brunette, "Is our best friend and our other sister Manny Santos. We're seniors this year. Emma is eighteen and so is Manny. I'm also eighteen clearly and I'm going to be a senior too obviously. What about you?"

I say, "Hello Emma, Manny. And I'm eighteen and I am going to be a senior too."

Maya smiles, "That's great! Maybe we'll have classes together." I really hoped we would. It would be great to have classes with any of these three. It is nice to make some new friends right before the first day of school.

I say, "Yeah I hope so too."

Emma says, "It's nice to meet you Alli."

And Manny says, "Yes it's nice to meet you, and I love your outfit. I think I just found my new shopping partner." It would be awesome to have someone to go shopping with I have to go alone when I go.

I laugh and say, "I'm always up for shopping at anytime."

She looks super excited; she squeals and says, "Yay! Emma and Maya are so hard to take shopping sometimes." All of us just laugh at her comment. Not everyone can love shopping like Manny and I do.

Emma says, "So you're new right Alli? I know we've never seen you at school before."

I nod and say, "Yes I am new to the school, but I have always lived here. I was homeschooled before this year. Let me go grab some coffee and I'll tell you all about it." They nod.

I excuse myself to get my coffee. I went up to the counter and ordered some drink I'd never heard of and couldn't pronounce well and a chocolate croissant. I pay the man behind the counter and head back to sit with my new friends. When I get back to the table we all began to tell funny stories and gossip.

We sat there for a while talking and getting to know each other and any outsider looking in would think we'd been friends forever with how well we all click together like the girls from sex and the city. They have been friends forever I was just fitting into their group very well and it is a great feeling.

All too soon it was time to go to school the girls and I grab our backpacks and purses then walk out of the dot to make the short trip down the road to Degrassi high. We laugh and talk the whole way to school and when we got there, we exchange numbers before we had to part ways to go to our lockers.

I got to my locker after looking for it up and down the hallway for a good ten minutes. I fish the combination out of my purse and after a few unsuccessful tries I finally get it open. I hung my backpack in the locker and grab my math book and a spiral. I check my schedule for the room number of my math class and it is room 513.

I look at the classrooms I was passing and they numbers are 216, 217, 218, and 219. I know I am in the wrong place and I also know I should ask someone for help. I look around the hallway and saw a girl she looks a little familiar so I walk up to her and say, "Hi, I know this is random, but my names Alli and I'm completely lost do you think you can help me?"

The girl turns to me and says, "Hello Alli, I'm Holly J and sure I can help you what class are you looking for?"

I say, "I like your name and Coach Armstrong's math class."

Holly J smiles and replies, "Thank you. And here I'll show the way to his class its right near mine."

We walk and talk. I got to know a little about her. She's eighteen like me and we are in the same grade. She and Anya are best friends, which makes her and Sav friends. We both tell funny stories about my brother and I tell her about me as well. We finally get to my class and she takes a pen and writes something in my spiral. She tells me, "There now you have my number if you ever need anything or if Sav needs straightening up just text me. Later Alli."

I laugh and say, "Later Holly J." With that she walks off to her class and I turn around and walk in mine. I am making friends left and right today!

When I get inside I see Maya there she looks up and sees me and waves me over. Pretty frantically might I add. I sit down and ask, "What was with the arm flailing you looked like you were trying to land a plane."

She laughs sarcastically then says, "I just found out this guy Zig who has had a major crush on me is going to be in this class I need you to be my deflector. Protect me! He is a little too much."

I laugh, but nod and tell her, "I promise I'll protect you from the creep." We both giggle. The last couple of students came in one being the Zig guy Maya was talking about she points him out to me and I see him just sit there and stare at Maya she's right it was creepy.

He wasn't stopping either I couldn't take it anymore and it was obvious neither could Maya. So, I say, "Do you have a staring problem? Do us all a favor and look away. No one is interested over here."

He glares at me and goes to make a remark, but Armstrong comes in and starts class almost instantly I look over at Maya and she looks like she was going to burst with laughter. She gives me a thumbs up and we both turn to listen to what Armstrong is saying.

After math I have English and Maya has history so we have to split up, but we have our last two classes and lunch together which was exciting. When we walk out of the class room Maya laughs and says, "I can't believe you said that to him."

I laugh too and reply, "Well someone had to he was being way to creepy. I mean looking at someone you have a crush on for a second is ok, but full out staring for a long time and clearly making that person uncomfortable isn't ok."

Maya nods. She says, "Whelp my class is this way so I'll see you at lunch Alli." I nod and wave to her as I keep walking straight. I go to my locker and exchange books then I make my way to my English class which amazingly enough I managed to find on my own.

English sucked and so did history which was my class after English. Art wasn't too bad I had Holly J in that class. I didn't know anyone in English, and the only person I knew in history was Zig and well you know how that went. He tried to throw paper balls at me, but keep missing and finally he hit the girl in front of me and got in trouble.

He wasn't very happy when I laughed, but he's a creep so who cares. It's now lunch time so I go to my locker and throw everything in it. I go to the café and get in line. I got pizza, water, and a cookie. When I got out of the line I look around until I finally spot Maya, Emma, and Manny.

I walk up to the table they were sitting at and sit down. Emma was the first to speak, "So ladies how goes classes?"

Maya, Manny, and myself all groan and Emma rolls her eyes, "Come on guys it's can't be that bad."

This time we all roll our eyes. Manny perks up as she says, "Guy there is going to be a back to school party at the Ravine tonight we have to go."

I didn't even hesitate before I says, "I'm in." Maya and Emma nod in agreement.

Manny nods and says, "Good we'll just go hang out somewhere after school then head to the ravine around 9pm."

Emma asks, "Where do we hang out neither one of our parents are going to let us go to the ravine."

I smile and say, "Come to my house. My parents are out of town and Sav is away at college."

Maya squeals then says, "That's perfect we all crash at you're place and no parents will ever know we went out."

We all talk over our plan for getting to the ravine and begin excitedly talking about how awesome tonight will be. We decide to just wear our school clothes to the ravine because we all look hot today.

Manny was wearing a hot pink mini skirt and a white tank top that said you wish in hot pink letters with white pumps. Maya is wearing black skinny jeans with a bright blue low cut shirt that says nerd in black letters and she's wearing black wedges. And Emma is wearing denim ripped skinny jeans with a light blue low cut shirt that has young wild and free written on it in black letters and she's wearing light blue wedges.

Lunch ends before we know it and it's time to go to our next class. Maya and I have science so we make our way to the classroom after stopping at our lockers. We get to the class and sit in one of the two people desks. The teacher came in and told us we were going to be lab partners for the rest of the year with whoever we were sitting by.

Maya and I are so excited. The rest of class drags by and our next class which was French drags by as well. Finally the day is over. We meet up with Manny and Emma in front of the school. We walk to Manny's first to grab some clothes for her to sleep in and for tomorrow then we did the same for Maya and Emma.

We then made the short trip back to my house we all live relatively close just not close enough that their parents will catch us sneaking out. When we get my house I show the girls around. The last stop is my room we all set our stuff down and decide to go to the kitchen to snack a little before tonight.

I grab my phone before we left the room to text Sav and tell him I am home. He wants me to check in with him from time to time so he knows I'm safe. He worries about me being home alone. He texts back that he loves me and he'll visit home soon. I text him back that I love him too.

The girls and I grab all the junk food we can find and go to my living room to watch some movies and kill sometime. We all laugh and talk throughout the movie about how excited we are for tonight. In just a few hours we'll be at the ravine and I've never been more ready. Ready or not ravine here we come.
