Conformity

Eli got out of his car, smoothly. Same as always, except for the fact that it was the exact opposite of his definition of a normal closed the door to his car carefully. It was a Hearse and he'd begged long and hard to get his mother to even consider letting him get one. The shiny black car was his prized possesion; it reflected his personality perfectly and even came with a name. The car salesman had given it the nickname Morty because of how durable the engine was and after Eli bought it the name just sorta stuck.

He leaned against the door, observing. Teens of all ages were moving around him just going, going, going. School hadn't even started yet! It was only the first day, yet there were people swarming in from everydirection. Riding skateboards and being dropped off in limosines. Eli could already tell that he was going to need something for the inevitably massive headache he'd have by the end of the day.

Bored with people watching, Eli pushed off of his car and began walking towards the entrance of his new school. He hadn't even set foot in Degrassi yet and already there was too much similarity from
person to person and yellow, one of the brightest colors in the spectrum, was a school color. Ugh, you wouldn't catch him wearing he approached the steps he noticed someone that was totally opposite of everyone around her. She was sitting on a ledge, notebook in her lap, concentrating on something written there. Every once in a while she would scratch something out with her pen or brush her bangs out of her face, but that was the most she moved.

Her hair stood out too. She had it cropped short, unlike the majority of the the female population, and it fell down in somewhat natural waves. Even her style was different. She wore pants instead of a mini-skirt and a purple top. Eli didn't know what drew his attention to her but she seemed... interesting, for lack of better word.

"Clare!"

The girl looked up, Eli's eyes followed her gaze to an indian looking guy who was holding a video camera. She smiled and stuck her tongue out at him. He smiled before turning the camera, documenting the morning chaos of what was sure to be an interesting took that as his cue to start walking again. He'd never been a big fan of videos but he still attempted a smile when the teen turned the camcorder his way. The main goal was to get the girl he assumed was named Clare to look up again, even though he wouldn't know even if she did since he never looked back. Eli didn't even go to class that day. Formalities and long boring assemblies about school spirit weren't his ideal way to spent a day. Besides, it just wasn't his style.

A/N- My take on the opening credits of the new season. I hate the opening. They should have used shark in the water and totally remade it! Anyway this will just be my rewrites of certain scenes:)
