We pulled out of the drive thru and headed to the school, eating our breakfast along the way.
"I'm so excited to be visiting Degrassi! I can't wait to meet all of your friends, and see everyone else."
"Yeah it should be fun." I said.
The school was in view and Darcy looked around for a spot. Finally getting one she pulled in. I held my breath for a minute, my stomach in knots.
"Clare," Darcy said her face serious. "I need to know, how's Peter?"
"Good I guess. Uh, he's going out with Mia now."
"Oh, okay good. I'm uh, glad he moved on."
She looked down, obviously sad by the news, but putting up a front for me.
"You can be sad Darce, it's okay."
"I'm all set Clare, thanks. Plus you have enough of a romantic dilemma without adding my issues to the bunch."
She threw me a small smile and opened her car door. I quickly followed trailing beside her.
"Okay Clare, where are your friends?" Darcy asked.
"Well they're probably in homeroom, but I need to go to my locker first."
"Okay. Wow I really missed this place." She looked to her right and saw Peter standing with Mia and Danny and sighed.
"DARCY!" We heard from behind us.
We both turned around and saw Anya; she had become closer to Darcy before she left.
"Hey Anya."
"What are you doing here?"
"Well spending some time with Clare, and supervising to Power Squad for the next month."
"Oh awesome." Her eyes darted to where Mia was, the three of them staring towards us confused.
"Well I'll see you later." Darcy smiled to her and we went inside the school.
I walk to my locker with Darcy behind me and get my stuff for first period.
"Do I get to meet your friends now?"
"Yes, my gosh you sound like a 6 year old."
"Well excuse me for being excited."
We both chuckled and walked to the M.I. lab.
As I went towards my seat I saw Alli and Connor in their usual seats, but KC wasn't sitting next to me as usual.
"Ok Darcy, this is Alli, and Connor, two of my best friends in the whole entire world. Guys, this is my sister, Darcy."
"Hey, nice to meet you." Connor said.
"Hi! You have such a great taste in fashion." Alli commented.
"Ah. You must be the one who helped Clare put stuff together from my closet."
"That would be me, yes."
"Good job."
"Thanks." Alli looks down, obviously flattered for some reason, and Darcy takes a seat next to me.
"Where's that KC kid?"
"Uh, he's in the back with the red hoodie."
She looks to him and back at me."
"How cute is he?" She whispers.
"Well I think he's pretty cute." I said, blushing.
"Me too, good pick Clare."
"Thanks."
Mr. Simpson walked into the classroom, smiling as per usual.
"Good morning everyone. I'd like to take a moment before attendance to introduce Darcy Edwards, Clare's sister, who's here for a month to help out around the school."
He motioned for Darcy to stand, and with a smile on her face she began to speak.
"Hey everyone, I'm here as an extra hand while I have some time off from a volunteer camp in Africa, I'm really excited to be back in Degrassi, and glad that I'll get to meet all of Clare's friends."
She sat down and my eyes darted around the room, everyone seemed pretty interested and showed Darcy respect. I looked to KC and saw him staring, not at Darcy, but at me. When I looked at him his eyes hardened, determined, challenging me to turn away.
I couldn't turn away. I was fixated in the emotion coming from his eyes, I stared right back, with as much determination. I was so determined that I didn't even hear the first bell ring, until Darcy grabbed my arm and ordered me to get up.
I felt his eyes on me as I walked away, and behind me in the hallway.
He won this round, even though I had no idea why he seemed so angry at me.
I really want to find out why he hates me all of a sudden.
But that's for later, I needed to get to math class, and Peter Stone was standing outside of my classroom, his eyes on Darcy.
Let the games begin.
