Hey everyone! Im really excited beause this is my very first Fan Fic! Please be honest and let me know if you like it or not like it! Should I continue or no! Read and Review! Thanks soooo much! Love you all my Degrassi and ECLARE buddies! Now off you go! :)
As I crawl on to my bed with a big bowl of popcorn, comfy sweatpants, my cell phone on my FaceRange page and my best friend to share the expirence with we were ready for our ritual on Thursday nights. And by ritual yes i do me a religious OCD kind of thing. Me and my sweet , caring, gorgeous and obssesive talker best friend Alli always have a Thursday night girls date. It was the one night we set aside to unleash our obssession with reality tv. I know exactly what people start to think when you mention reality tv; stupid made up plots, rich and fake tan beautiful people but we didnt care. Every Thursday night at 9:00 on CTV was Canda's most popular tv show. This master piece of God crafted art was called Degrassi. And as stupid as this may sound for an amazing reality show its about teenagers who attend Degrassi Comminity School. These teens were in High School and showed the different problems with high school drama! You know like Popularity, sex, underage drinking and such. Who could not love that? Ok Yes i will admit there are some rich, snoby, tan, faked boobed bimbos and some incredibly sexy amazingly scupltered boys and maybe thats not exactly everyday occurences in most teens life but the drama was incredible! There were also normal kids to so it kinda equaled it out. The fact was we believed They were real and i guess if Alli and I coudnt live like famous people on a reality show we would live it through these teens. I know you want to laugh but hey in America, Laguna Beach was a big hit and this was Canadas version!
"Eeek Clare its starting!" Alli screamed in her high pictched voice.
"Loud much?" I said sarcastically.
she laughed and rolled her eyes.
Alli and I are best friends and well sisters. We have been besties since we were 2 and about 9 years ago when we were 7 Alli was spending the night at my house and we got a call and were told that her parents and older brother had been killed in a car accident . It was really rough on her because she was so young and very close with her big brother. I tried to be there to comfort her and it really bonded us closer. Since all of her relatives lived in India they allowed her to stay here and live with me. Through all the turmoil Alli wanted to stay and I absolutley loved the idea. I dont know what i would do without her. She was a beautiful dark skinned Indian beauty. She had deep choclate brown eyes, long black hair, and a wardrobe that is better suited for the streets of New York rather than a small secluded town in Ontario, Canada. We were complete opposites but completly inseperable.
"Oh my God Clare isnt this suppose to be the episode when Jenna tells K.C that shes totes preggers!" Alli asked
"Yea I think so and I pray to God that he isnt a jerk to her." I replied.
The theme song started to play and we would sing along and scream and let our hearts melts as our favorites crossed the screen.
As we sat and watched the drama unfold we would scream and gape at the tv and pray outloud that what we wanted to happen would happen.
"Alli I swear if Eli doesnt break up with that tramp Julia I will die!" I said quietly so my parents wouldnt hear my "Non Jesus use of language"
"How can you be in love with Eli when clearly Drew is waaaayy Sexier!" Alli squaled
"I dont know, I mean ya Drew is deffently sexy but Eli has this dark and twisted sexy sense of humor about him. Its a definte turn on."
Alli turned with brown eyes open wide and said "Saint Clare did you just say something Turns you on?"
I was for sure blushing now
"Finally your grow up and become a woman. I mean dont get me wrong, sweet and innocent Clare is cute but its so much fun on the wilder side."
"Alli you have only ever made out and fooled around with one guy so how is that wild?" I pondered
"Hey its alot farther than you've gone Clare bear"
We both giggled and turned our eyes back to the television and continued to watch our favorite show.
"Ugh why do they always leave you with cliff hangers!" Alli said when the show ended.
"I know! It keeps you watching but makes me so pissed because they didnt tell me if Eli is breaking up with that bimbo! I mean come on that slut has cheated on him too many times!" I said in frusturation.
Alli just stared at me. I think I was surprising her more and more everyday.
"What?" I asked
"What happend to you Clare? Reality television makes you act I dunno more real and less Jesus freak." she giggled as we cleaned up our mess from the night.
"I guess Im just tired of being miss goody two shoes all the time."
"Well Clare I certainly dont mind helping you come out of your shell! Ooo we should go to the mall and find some hot boys, older of course and and double date! Oh that would be so much fun and we could-"
"Woah Alli I was thinking along the lines of i dont know a new dress or something. God Alli!" I laughed out loud.
"Okay I'm sorry. We'll see what we can do with that tomorrow. I'm goin to bed! Night Clare Bear! Love you sister!" she squealed and skipped out of my room.
I laughed and locked my door. I went over to my closet and grabbed an old T-Shirt from freshman year. I changed quickly and shut of my light and crawled into my comfy bed. I didnt realize how tired i was when i started drifting off to sleep.
"Are you serious! We cant just pick up and leave!"
I was awaken from my slumber by my mom's ear piercing scream. I rolled over and looked at my night stand grabbing my phone and it saying it was 3 O'clock in the morning. What the hell was going on!
I slipped off my covers, climbed out of bed and tip toed to my closed door. I quietly opened it and peeked my head out, noticing Alli was doing the same thing. We both giggled lightly and then listened in on our parents conversation.
"I'm sorry but what choice do I have? This is my job, our way of living. When they say we go then we go!" Dad yelled back.
"So you just expect the girls to be ok with this? They have lived in this town thier entire lives. This is all they know. This is where Alli's parents and brother are." I could tell my mom was tearing up and I quickly turned and looked at Alli who had a tear streaming down her face.
Alli hated to speak about her family and what had happened. After that day she asked us to never speak of it again. She just bottled everything up but that was her was her way of dealing with it and I respected that.
"I understand that and believe me I dont want to do this to our girls, especially if it hurts Alli. But if I say no to this then I loose my job and we loose everything. We cant afford to do that. I know this is going to be hard for this family but this is is a huge promotion."
"I know, I just dont know how to tell them. I mean this is a very small secluded town and moving them to the big city of Toronto is a huge change."
Alli and I both immediatly looked at eachother and mouthed "Toronto?" with astonished looks on our faces. We both looked at eachother and nodded our heads, both knowing we were going down stairs to immideatly protest this move. This is our home and we are not leaving!
We both started storming our way down the stairs and our parents looked at us with a surpirsed look on thier faces.
"Oh ya you better believe we heard you!" Alli said and I some how managed to raise my voice as well. "We cant move! Dad how could you do this to us! We have grown up here! We are starting our Junior year next week! I dont want to have to make all new friends and learn about a whole new school!" I was getting mad.
"Clare I understand that this will be hard but.. We have to. I will loose my job if we dont. You girls are both young, vibrant and out-going you will be just fine."
"But Dad!" both me and Alli screamed. You would think it would be wierd that Alli called my dad her dad but she has lived with me for 9 years and he and my mother have become her parental figures I guess you could call it. My parents had adopted her as thier own when she was 12 and she loves them as her own parents. No one could ever replace hers but my parents were there for her and she loved that.
"Girls please. Your father is right. Look on the bright side you will get to live in a city you both love to go shop in and visit!" Mom said trying to lighten the mood.
"Mom key word there was VISIT not live!" I yelled while tears started to form in my eyes.
"How are we suppose to leave all our friends behind? And start a new school?" Alli said
"Well the company is furnishing our move and has even bought us a house to live in on thier expense. I have heard the school district you are in has a great school. They have great academics and wonderful sports. I hear thier Cheerleading team is excellent Alli and they are already expecting you to try out." Dad said while trying to sugar coat the situation.
We both rolled our eyes and crossed our arms. Man we were like twins.
"We really have no choice do we?" Alli asked and they both just shook thier heads.
"When do we have to leave?" I asked
"Well since you both know now we should leave this weekend. You both start school Monday." Dad said seeming a little bit afraid of our response.
"Ugh, this cant be happening!" I sighed.
"So what is this self proclaimed amazing school called " Alli asked shyly.
"Well its a very well know school but Im not sure why but I think its called um.. De.. Degrassi?"
"This is all so unfair I cant beli-" I stopped dead in my tracks in the middle of my sentence.
Alli grabbed my arm and her jaw dropped. I just stood there with my eyes wide and mouth opened. I finally managed to speak.
"Did you just say Degrassi?"
"Yes. Why?" My dad asked curiously.
I looked at Alli and smiles started to grow across both of our faces. I turned and looked at our parents.
"Well this move may not be so bad after all."
Sooo was it good bad? I know its short but Its just the start! Please let me know what you think! Thank guys! :)
