Read and review

Disclaimer: Even though i think Everyone would love to own Degrassi i don't but one thing i do own is all the characters you've never heard about and this story. So PLEASE read and review so i know what to change and how to change it. K THANKS!

Today i start a new school. You see i am in witness protection. I was forced to move to Canada because of my abusive ex boyfriend. He tried to kill me a couple of times so my parents thought the best place for me to come was Wonderful Canada. It was a complete downgrade from where i used to live. My family consists of My mom, which we had to change her name to Tammy. My Step dad Robert but we have to call him Mark, my brother Cael came up with the name because we were part Irish, his real name, was simple, Tim. I have 5 other siblings. Sophie is 2 and a half, Kate is 4, Justin 10 and twins 13. We now have to come up with names for Ava Grace and Justin. We though Grace can be called Mia and Ava would be called Maya. For Justin we were thinking Colby. For the little girls we didn't need to change their names. We knew he never met them. As for Sophie she was a baby so he wouldn't be able to tell it was her. He didn't really know her name either. I walked into the bathroom, there was only one in this house. I began to put on my makeup and get ready for school. Before we left Florida my mom made me cut off all my hair and dye it brown. My hair is now shoulder length. I hated it, I put my contacts in and as soon as i had one in i hear a loud, painful scream followed by Sophie crying.

"Sophie." I cry running out of the bathroom. I see her on the ground crying. I slowly bend down and pick her up. I could barley see since i only had one contact in.

"aah" She yells in my ear

"Its OK, Where is Mark when you need him?" I ask myself

"Mommy"She cries

"Sophie mommy went to work" I reminded her

" DADDY" she then wined

"Thanks nice to know you love me" I say putting her down before going back into the bathroom. I put my other contact in. When i hear a knock on the door followed by a cry i knew it was Sophie

"Sophie what do you want" I ask through the door

"food" She wines

"Okay okay I'm coming" I say opening the door. I see Kate standing in the doorway.

"Kate are you hungry too?" I ask I see her nod her head. I smile at her and pick up Sophie up and walk over to Kate and grab her hand. We walked downstairs into the kitchen and I grabbed them both pop-tarts.

"Alecia!" Kate wined

"Kate my name is not Alecia anymore" I say

"Sorry" She said innocently

"Its OK now what would you like Kate" I respond

"i cant open these" She wines again

"Kate, don't wine ask politely." I say

"Megan can you please open these pop-tarts for me" Kate says

"Yes i can" I say grabbing her pop-tarts and opening them for her. She eats quietly. I see Cael and my other siblings walking down the stairs. You see Kate and Sophia are my half siblings. All the rest of the siblings are my real brothers and sisters. My dad died after Justin was born. I went over grabbed by backpack and went out to the car. Since Cael was 17 he had his license and he could drive us to school. First day at Degrassi i really didn't know what to expect. After we had to drop off all the rest of the siblings at the middle school we finally pulled up to Degrassi. Degrassi was large. I got out of the car and stood there for a second taking in the new environment. For me, everything about Degrassi seemed strange and i really wish i could have just stayed in Florida. I mean He is is jail, so why did i have to be rushed off to a different country. Why couldn't he have just ended up in prison in a different country. I began to walk up the steps. I remember all my friends at home. They were starting school today too. Even though Degrassi has been going to school for 3 weeks already. Ive been going to the same school my whole life. I walk into the office and i see to people talking. One was a student. I could tell because he was wearing the same uniform i was forced to wear.I walked up to the desk and the lady stop talking

"Hi how can i help you" She asked me

"Hi my name is Megan Ellis I am a new student here" I say quickly

"O Hi yes well this is Adam Torres, he will be your guide around the school. You guys have the same classes." She responds

"Thank you" i say before turning to Adam

"Hi Adam" I say. I take my first good look at the person standing in front of me. He was a little taller then me. He had a baby face, but he was really cute. I smile at him

"Hi well we better get going if we wanna get to class on time." He responds

"Yeah your right." I respond

We walk out of the office. I see people pointing at him and laughing. I ignore them and keep walking although i really want to know what they are laughing at. Adam shows me my new locker. Conveniently it is right next to his. I open it and put a few of my things from my backpack into it so it wouldn't be so heavy. Adam and i then walk off to our first class. I walk into my class, I see everyone in the room wearing the same uniform so i didn't feel so strange. I went and sat down behind Adam. He started to talking to a girl sitting on the left of him. They seemed to be talking about a boy. Adam then noticed i was sitting behind him and turned to me.

"O Megan this is Clare, she is one of my Best friends, you'll meet Eli later, that's Clare's boyfriend and my other best friend." he says

"Hi" I say extending my hand.

"Hello" She responds taking my hand before shaking it. We start to talk about school. Before long the second Bell rang.

"Hey Megan you wanna sit with us at lunch?" Clare asks

"Yeah sure" I say Smiling from ear to ear. So far Degrassi has be great. we get a group project to work on.

"Okay so you guys wanna meet after school at the dot?" Clare asks

"Sure" I say

"Okay but i gotta ask my mom" Adam responds

"Of course" Clare says rolling her eyes

The rest of the morning seemed to drag on. Since Clare wasn't in the rest of my classes it seemed boring. Adam didn't seem to talk much. When lunch finally came around i couldn't wait to see Clare again. I walk into the lunch room, lunch in hand. I saw Adam Clare and someone i really didn't know. I went over to the table and smiled and sat down

"Hey guys" I say

"hey Megan, This is Eli, My boyfriend" Clare says

"hey Eli" I say again extending my hand.

"Hi" he says taking my hand and shaking it. I notice Adam reading a comic book.

"hey ill be right back, bathroom" I say getting up

"Hey ill go with you" Clare says standing up

"K" I say i waited for her and we walked to the bathroom

"Hey i have a question" I say

"What" Clare responds

"Does Adam hate me or something?" I ask

"No, Adam is Adam. Give him a couple of days to open up to you." Clare responds

"Okay" I respond relieved that Adam didn't hate me

"So If you don't mind me asking why did you move here" Clare asked

"Uh" I say trying to think of the excuse they gave me.

"you don't have to tell me" She says

"no i want to, My dad got a better job up here. We decided to let him come up first before we did then he moved up here" I lied quickly

"O cool" Clare said

"yeah" I washed my hands and we headed back to lunch. Adam sat next to me in Art. It seemed weird, but i was happy. Adam was someone i could see myself dating. He's the only person at Degrassi so far that that falls into place. But then again I've only met two guys. I see a girl with curly hair walk past me. She bumped Adam and mumbled "Freak"

"Your cool Bianca" Adam said

"Whatever dike" Bianca said before walking away

"Who was that?" I ask

"Bianca DeSousa she is a slut and a bitch Don't worry about her." Adam responded

"O." I say we start our projects. After Art i had English with Clare and Eli, Then Gym. The rest of the day went slow. Bianca kept making snappy comments. Finally the first day of my new school was over. I Meet Adam and Clare at the Dot. We came up with ideas on what to do for our Biology project. We decided on making a skeleton and labeling each part. They told me they learned most of the human body before i came. I smiled and nodded. We decided on a time tomorrow to actually start our project. We exchanged numbers and headed home.

"Where's Sophie?" I ask

"Upstairs in time out" She responds exhausted from work and taking care of a 2 and 4 year old

"Did she hit Kate again?" I asked

"Yeah she almost pushed Kate down the stairs" My mom responded

"Ill go talk to her" I say heading up the stairs. I walk towards Sophie's and Kate's room. I walk in and i see Sophie sitting on her bed.

"Sophie" I warn

"no" Sophie said

"Yes Sophie, You could have really hurt her." I say

"Mommy" Sophie cried

"Mommy is taking care of Kate. Now i want you to go downstairs and apologize to Kate for hurting her" I say in a stern voice.

"No" Sophie said

"Okay well when Dad gets home your going to get into trouble, Now go downstairs." I say

"Fine" Sophie said getting out of her bed and stomping past me.

"Drama queen" I say quietly. I head off to my room. I start to do my homework. My first day down at a new school. Now i just have to get though the rest of the week. Plus I think i am falling for Adam. First impressions mean everything
