Hiiii guys! Thanks Degrassistar and JJ288 (I'm hispanic too). It's really cool to have things in common with my readers...anyone watching Party With Degrassi on Feb. 20th? I just saw the promo like 2 days ago. I'm a little bummed out that Imogeli will happen, but I'm hoping they're going to be short. I love Eclare down to earth, but I have to admit: Cake and Imogeli do look cute together...oh well! Here's Chapter 23!
"Hi. Who are you?" I greet. "Hi. First of all…are you Zachary Goldsworthy?" She asks. "Yeah, and you are?" I reply. She smiles, a beautiful smile, and her graceful blue eyes full of energy. "I'm Isabella Goldsworthy. I'm your daughter." She answers, and my heart basically stopped. My daughter!
Zac's POV
"Isabella…" I repeat, looking down at her. 12 years ago, I haven't seen her. "Hi daddy." Isabella says. "Hi honey. You're beautiful." I reply, and motion for her to come in. I led her to the couch, and we sat down. Oh god, this is the couch where Jordan's water broke. "Um…I just found out a few weeks ago that I'm adopted. I look nothing like the Burdette's, they kept my entire name, and I feel stupid not figuring out this a while ago. Where's mom?" She asks. Damn, what do I say to her?
"Oh…she's not here." I whisper. "Where is she then? Did you guys break up?" Isabella questions. "No, we didn't. Isabella-" I started. "Bella. I prefer Bella." She interrupted. "Ok, Bella. Your mom…she was murdered. I couldn't cope with being a single teenage father. So…with hesitation…I gave you up. And you guys moved away to Ottawa." I explain. "What? Mom's dead." Isabella gasped. "Yepp, so after a long time with depression, I met someone, and she's um…pregnant." I finish. "You met someone else? Replaced my mother?" Bella asked.
"What? Oh! NO! Jordan will always have a place in my heart." I exclaim. "Ok…Dad, can I ask you a question?" Bella replies. "Sure. Shoot." I smirk. "Can I live with you?" Bella asks, and I hear Stephanie coming downstairs.
Ethan's POV
"Are you sure about this?" Dylan asks, staring at my plans. "Positive. There's a Pep Rally coming up. My fudge of a brother was on the football team, and so is Anthony. So…" I explain the plans. "Whoa. So, who's the misfit you got help from?" Dylan changes the subject. "My dad." I answer. "Dad? Isn't he like…old?" Dylan mutters. "No! He's only 46!" I yell, realizing that 46 isn't very young. "But on my defense, my Dad was 18 when my sister was born." I add.
As the Pep Rally starts, I set off a trigger. Honey comes from the ceiling, dropping onto the cheerleaders. Everyone gasps, as I laugh seeing their faces. "Holy crap!" Dylan exclaims. Eventually, confetti falls from the sky, covering the cheerleaders. The football players came running in, and slipped on the pre-waxed floors. I burst laughing, videotaping this on my phone, gonna post it on Face Range. "Now, for the grand finale." I cheer, and press a button.
A cute little hot wheels car comes into the gym floor, and everyone stares at it. With the remote, I drive it around towards Anthony. At my chance, I press the second button, and the toy car explodes, hot sauce squirting all over Anthony. "What the HELL!" Anthony yelled, whipping his hot sauce infested eyes. I high fived Dylan, and ran to our seat. "Mission accomplished." I whisper, Dylan smiling.
Julia's POV
"Yes, thanks, ba-bye!" I say, and hang up. "I talked to our agent. We'll get a tour next week. Bank owned, though." I inform Hunter. I yelped as they baby kicked. "It's ok." Hunter comforted, feeling my stomach. "Spanish mode?" I ask, wanting a distraction. "Sure, but why do you want to do that so much?" Hunter asked back. I shrug, and log onto Face Range. Kyra's marrying Christian. I still hate him. In college, Christian made up a rumor saying that we're dating, but I got him back.
"Yo pedido comida china para la cena."(1) Hunter starts. "Mmm, me muero de hambre ... Nicolás! tiempo para la cena!" (2) I yelled. Nicholas comes down the hall, and mumbles something. "Que?" I ask in Spanish. "Mom! I'm not responding in Spanish!" Nicholas replies. "Nick, escuchar a su mamá. hablar español, sabes que si te hablan dos lanugauges, una mejor oportunidad para un trabajo." Hunter added in Spanish. "Ugh, Chinese food? YES! "Nick cheers. I sigh, and we speak English again.
Zac's POV
"Live with me? Wait, aren't you supposed to be in school? Where are your parents?" I ask, changing to subject. "Parent. And he's sitting right in front of me." Bella answers. "I know that, but what about your adopted family?" I ask. "Um…Dad could you read this?" she asks, handing me a paper.
Isabella Goldsworthy-Burdette
Family Paragraph
I search all the albums. Every picture, video, everything. There's no picture of my Mom and Dad when I was born. How am I blonde? My parents have brown hair. Blue eyed? My parents have hazel eyes. Where did the name Goldsworthy come from? Who knows? But…my parents do. Honestly, I don't think I'm their daughter. I'm nothing like them! I have a feeling, that somewhere out there, there is a couple, who look like me, who actually are my parents…my Mom and Dad aren't, and I'm sure of it.
I look up at Isabella, who was just staring into my green eyes. "After weeks of research, I found adoption papers in my parent's drawer. I just had to read it. Jordan Oviedo and Zachary Goldsworthy. After even more research, I found you." Isabella added. I hugged her, and closed my eyes.
"This is real Zac…you're actually hugging our daughter." The beautiful voice came back and said. "I know." I thought. "Sure, but what about your parents?" I reply. "Oh eh, they're not worrying about me for a while." Bella mumbles. "What?" I ask. "They think that I'm at boarding school…right now." Bella confesses. "WHAT?" I yell, leaving our hug. "Sorry." She whispers.
"Ok, tell you what. I'll call your parents, and see if they're fine with it." I agree. "Zac? Who 'ya talking to?" Stephanie asks. Crap, I forgot about her. Stephanie walks in on us, and sees us. "Steph, you know about my dead ex? Well, this is…our daughter." I greet, whispering the word daughter. "What?" she asked. Isabella stands up, and walks over to her. "Hi! I'm Isabella Julia Goldsworthy-Burdette, and I'm Zac's daughter." Isabella greeted. "Hi, I'm Stephanie." Stephanie greets. Thank gosh, things are turning out pretty well.
1 Week Later, Ethan's POV
"Dude, that was so awesome! The whole school's still talking about it!" Dylan cheers. Wearing skinny jeans, black low top converse, and a Degrassi Grade 10 shirt, purple, I'm smirking. "I know. It was awesome, and proves Anthony a lesson." I reply. Anthony shut his locker, as he was temporarily blinded for a day. "Goldsworthy!" he growls. "That's my name, don't wear it out." I tease.
"Stupid ass." He mutters. "Hey, that's a bad word. Remember kindergarten? You fat girly self?" I ask. "Oh yeah? Well remember this!" Anthony answers, punching me. Dylan pulls me back, and drags me away before I can fight back. "Dude, I thought the prank was revenge?" Dylan asked. I observed his outfit.. Shorts with his shirt tucked in, knee socks, hair all combed, and just so nerdy.
"Lose the knee socks." I start. "Un tuck your shirt, ruin your hair a bit, and…there." I finish, doing what I said. "A lot better." I nod. Dylan sighs, and we walk to class. "Mr. Goldsworthy, we have a new student and I want you to guide them around." The old bat of Ms. Dawes tells me. I sigh, and walk to the office. "Oh my god, who is that?" I ask, staring at the beauty. "Hi, I'm Katelyn Burchfield." She greets. I'm to dumbstruck so I go, "Ethan my name's Hi." She giggles. "Nice Casanova. His name's Ethan." Dylan corrects me, as he helps out in the office.
"Goldsworthy?" She asks. "How do you know?" I ask. "Because the front desk lady said you'll be escorting me. There's not much Ethan's lately." She explained. "Oh…well let's go!" I cheer.
Julia's POV
I stood up, drinking some water. "Jules!" Hunter calls for me, and I jump in surprise. I drop the glass, and bend down to pick it up. But when I look down, I don't think it's just water that was on the floor. "HUNTER!" I yelled. "HUNT-ER!" I screamed even louder. "Julia?" He asked, running down the stairs. "HELP!" I yelled. "What happened?" he asked. "My…water broke! Oh god this hurts!" I screamed, breathing in and out, about to give birth.
I'm planning on ending this story soon, but not too soon! Probably end the story at 30 chapters. I just found out that my best friend likes me! Maybe my first boyfriend...but I don't know if I like him back. How weird would it be for life to be like at Degrassi? Super weird! Well, thanks for reading and click that blue review button down under...please! Thanks!
