The new degrassi

It's the first day of school. How would it go? What drama lies ahead?

Writer’s note: this story I am writing is something like Degrassi the TV show so I hope you enjoy it. It doesn’t have a main character. Some of the characters are similar to the characters on Degrassi. This is my first time writing a fan fiction so I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 1:

 

Courtney woke up with her hair in a mess. It was 6:00 in the morning and she had to get ready for the first day of school. She went into the bathroom and brushed her teeth and took her bath. After she was done getting ready for school she heard her mom called downstairs, “Courtney breakfast is ready!”

“Be right down mom” she said as she pulled her long blonde hair back into a ponytail. She then took her glasses from on top of her cupboard, put them on and headed downstairs to the dining room where her parents sat.

“Morning mom and dad”. Courtney said before planting a kiss on her mom’s cheek then on her dad’s.

“Ready on going back to school today?” her father asked.

Courtney sat next to her father on the dining table. “Yeah...can’t wait to see everybody again. Marley and I have a lot to talk about”

“Like what?”

“Well…”Courtney took a bite into her peanut butter sandwich “...she was thinking of starting a band together. Marley has an excellent voice so there is no doubt that she will be the singer in the band. I will play the piano and we can get a couple of our other friends to play the other instruments.”

“And are you sure this won’t interfere with your school work?”

“Yes dad I’m sure. You know I would never let anything interfere with my school work”.

Her father smiled and her. “Good girl”

“Well I for one think it’s a great idea that you and Marley are starting a band together” Her mom told her.

“Thanks mom!” Courtney looked at her watch. It was getting late. She grabbed her bag and headed out after saying goodbye to her parents.

Courtney and Marley stood talking to each other by Courtney’s locker.

“Hi Chloe and Mary!” A voice from behind them said. They turned and saw Brianna and Cathleen. They are the most popular girls at Degrassi and captains of the D.C.S. (Degrassi’s Cheerleading Squad).

“It’s Courtney and Marley” Courtney corrected Brianna.

Brianna rolled her eyes. “Yeah whatever, I just came here to offer you girls a sweet deal that you cannot refuse”.

“Really…like what!?”Marley said. She couldn’t hold her excitement. She admired the dark haired cheerleader mostly because Brianna was popular and Marley had always tried to fit in with the popular crowd.

“I was getting to that” Brianna said annoyed that she was interrupted.”Since you two are like the top nerds of Degrassi I was thinking that you two can do mine and Cathleen’s homework for like the rest of the term and we would invite you to all of our parties”.

“And how would that help us?” Courtney asked.

“Think about it, if we invite you guys to our parties then you will become popular and people would stop make fun of you” Cathleen explained. Cathleen was like the dumb cheerleader that followed Brianna everywhere.

“And we would also let you sit with us in the cafeteria at lunch time…how about that?” Brianna added. Marley was going to say something but Courtney cut her off.

“Sorry but---“

Brianna interrupted her “Just think about it ok. You guys will tell us your decision tomorrow. See you around Cora and Martha, let’s go Cathleen” Brianna walked away with Cathleen behind her. Courtney didn’t bother to correct Brianna with their names. She hated how Brianna tried to bribe them like that. She hated everything about Brianna. To her Brianna was the meanness girl in the school. Courtney remembered the first day she met her.

FLASHBACK:

Courtney and Marley were getting their lunch at the cafeteria while Marley’s was talking about a boy she liked.

“You don’t get it Courtney…I never felt this way about a boy before…” Marley blushed as she tried to explain her feelings to Courtney.”His name is Darren and he’s the perfect guy. He loves helping people and he has the perfect smile and the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen”. Marley continued talking about her crush while they took their lunches and walked over to their seat. Suddenly Courtney tripped over something causing her lunch to fall all over her. Laughter roared from the cafeteria. Marley tried to help her best friend stand up.

“Oops…I guess I wasn’t looking where I threw my banana peel”. Courtney looked up into the crystal blue eyes of the dark haired cheerleader.”How was the trip?” Brianna asked before bursting into laughter. Courtney looked around. Everybody in the cafeteria was laughing at her including the lunch lady. She got up and ran out the cafeteria in tears. She had never felt so embarrassed and humiliated in her life.

 

NOW:

“I know you don’t like Brianna but probably we should consider her offer you know”. Courtney couldn’t believe her ears. She knew Marley would do anything to fit in but never thought that she would let others use her like that.

“Are you kidding me Marley? Why the hell would you want to do something like that and for all people Brianna?” Courtney exclaimed. Marley looked at the floor and didn’t answer. “I know you want to fit in and all but I think we can find other ways of doing that”.

“Like what?”

“Like the band we were talking about doing together”.

“What band?” a male voice asked behind her. Courtney recognized the voice and turned around to look at the good looking dark haired boy. ”Me and Marley planned on organizing a school band together. What do you think?”

“I think that’s a great idea! Who thought of it?”

“Marley did actually”

“Wow Marley that’s really a great idea you came up with and I think it’s perfect for you since you have the most amazing voice in the entire school”.

Marley blushed at his compliment and made a timid smile. She was happy that the boy thought she had the most amazing voice in the whole school. “Thanks Darren I really appreciate it”. Courtney rolled her eyes at how nervous Marley was being around him and how oblivious Darren was being to Marley’s feelings for him.

“Um I got to go…..somewhere. See you guys later!” Courtney lied and left Marley with Darren. Marley didn’t want her to leave because she was nervous that she would make a big fool of herself in front of Darren but Courtney didn’t want to stay around both of them because she always felt uncomfortable when they are around each other. She had to get away.

“Ok….see you later then” Darren told Courtney and watched as she walked away until she was nowhere in sight and looked back at Marley.”How was your summer?”

Marley smiled.”It was good…I…I missed you” she said nervously. She couldn’t help but stare into his beautiful hazel eyes and then focus her brown eyes on his lips.

It was Darren’s turn to smile. “I missed you too and the rest of our friends. Have you seen K.C. around?” Marley was still gazing at his lips and didn’t hear what Darren had asked her. “Marley are you here?” Darren asked as he snapped his fingers in front of Marley’s face to get her attention. Marley then stopped gazing at his lips.

“Huh…I…I’m sorry I was just thinking about something um….what were you saying?”

“I asked if you’ve seen K.C. around.”

“Oh...No I haven’t” Marley answered while shaking her head. “Why you asked?”

“Well you know since his mom died and all I just wanted to tell him how sorry I was.”

Marley was shocked. K.C. was one of her closest friends and she didn’t even know that his mom had died. “What happened?” Marley asked with a concerned expression.

Darren was confused. He thought she knew what happened with K.C.’s mom. “She died of cancer. Didn’t you know?”

She couldn’t stop thinking about what K.C. must be going through. His mom was all K.C. had before his father died in a car accident not so long ago. “I cannot believe it. He has gone through so much….it’s just not fair”.

Darren rests his hand on her shoulder to comfort her. “Don’t worry he will get through this”.

“I just wish we could be there for him you know”

“Well he’s now living with his grandmother so I was thinking that you, me and Courtney can go over there and help him get through this.”

A huge smile crossed Marley’s face and she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. “You’re such a good friend. Why can’t other guys be as thoughtful as you”?

Darren smiled and hugged her back.

Jordan stared while her best friend and crush was making out with Brianna.

“Is it my turn yet?” Trent joked. Brianna and Jake just ignored him and continued making out. Trent laughed and turned to the red head sitting beside him and put an arm around her shoulder. “What about you Jordan…wanna make out?”

Jordan felt very annoyed with Trent’s behavior and didn’t understand why Jake would be friends with a d********g like him.”Go suck on a dick a*****e” Jordan said and removed his arm from her shoulder.

Trent chuckled.”Don’t be so touchy babe. It was just a joke”.

Jordan gave him an annoyed look. “Don’t call me babe”. The school bell rang for third period and Jordan and Jake had class together. “Come on Jake. Let’s go to class”. Jake turned a deaf ear and continued making out with Brianna. Jordan rolled her eyes and pulled Jake away from Brianna.”We’re late for class Jake. Let’s go”. Jordan’s tone was demanding. She didn’t give Jake any time to kiss his girlfriend goodbye before pulling him to class.

After class Jordan was putting her text books into her locker while Brianna walked up to her with Cathleen.”And what can I do for you Brianna?”Jordan said. It sounded more like a statement than a question.

Brianna folded her arms.”Well first you can stop pretending to be nice. I came here to tell you that I know all about the ridiculous crush you have on my boyfriend and I want you to stop it”.

Jordan chuckled. “And what gave you that idea?”

“I see the way you look at him and I can smell your jealousy from a mile away don’t deny it.”

Jordan shrugged her shoulders. “What if I do like him?”

“Jake would never like you” Brianna pointed out.

Jordan had an angry expression.”What makes you think he won’t?”

Brianna had an expression like the answer to Jordan’s question was obvious.”Have you looked in the mirror lately? You dress like a guy. Being with you would be like being with a guy. I sometimes wonder whether you have b***s under those clothes or not.” Cathleen laughed.

Jordan slammed her locker door. “You know what I’m not gonna stand around and pretend that I like you because I don’t. I really think you’re a heartless b***h that’s only with Jake because he’s popular”.

Brianna unfolded her arms and walked up to Jordan filling in the space between them.”I dare you to call me that again”.  Brianna glared at Jordan intensely.

Jordan knew Brianna was trying to pick a fight with her but she wanted to show her that she wasn’t scared of her. “Heartless B***h!” Jordan said very loudly so that everybody around them could hear it. Brianna pushed Jordan and Jordan fell to the floor. Brianna turned around to leave but Jordan got up and grabbed Brianna’s dark hair.

“Let go of my hair you b***h!”Brianna screamed at her. Jordan pulled Brianna by the hair and slammed her body against the lockers. The fight was causing a crowd as people swarmed to look on. Brianna raised her hand to feel the blood that was running down her nose. Both Brianna and Jordan had a shocked expression on their faces. Jordan was going to apologize before Brianna punched her hard across the face. Jordan’s nose now began to bleed. They continued fighting and they both fell to the floor.

“Stop it you two!” Cathleen yelled at them both but they didn’t listen. Instead the principal ran towards the roaring crowd making his way towards the persons causing the ruckus. As he made his way in he was shocked to see the both girls fighting on the floor.

“BRIANNA AND JORDAN, IN MY OFFICE, NOW!” The principal demanded and the two girls stopped fighting. They got up from the floor and followed the principal to his office and sat down next to each other. The principal gave them a disappointed look and sigh. “What do you two have to say for yourself?”

“I’m sorry” both girls said in unison.

“I’m really disappointed in you two”. Brianna and Jordan lowered their heads in shame. “I’m not even going to ask why you two were fighting I’m just going straight to your punishment and since you two can’t get along your punishment will be that both of you would clean the cafeteria after school together for two weeks. I want you guys to sort out your differences while doing this as well”.

“But Mr. Jackson I can’t do that. I have cheerleading practice after school an-------------“

“No buts!” The principal interrupted Brianna “You two or going to do what I say you hear me!?” Both girls nodded “Good…and don’t let me hear of something like this happening again ok. You can leave.” Both girls got up from their seats and left the room. As they were out Brianna stopped Jordan and glared at her.

“This isn’t over” Brianna told her and walked away.

After school Darren, Courtney and Marley went to K.C.’s house to console him. Darren knocked on the door. “Coming” they heard a voice from inside the house say. They heard footsteps walking towards them and the person opened the door. It was an old woman that looked like she was in her late 60’s that stood in front of them.

“You must be K.C.’s grandmother”. Darren introduced themselves to the older woman and explained to her of their intentions for being there.

“That’s great! K.C hasn’t really been talking much or eating his food. I am really worried about him. Probably you all can help him. Please come in”. They stepped into the house. “Let me show you to his room”. They followed K.C.’s grandmother upstairs to the front door of his room. K.C.’s grandmother knocked on the door and they waited for a response but there was none. She knocked again and K.C. opened the door.

“Why are you………” K.C. looked and saw Darren, Courtney and Marley standing behind his grandmother. “What are you guys doing here?” he asked even though he knew why they were there.

“We know you’re going through a lot K.C. and we want to help you get pass this” Darren explained.

K.C. didn’t want anyone’s pity. He just wanted to be left alone. “Look I’m fine ok I don’t need anybody’s help I’m fine”. K.C was now fuming. He didn’t want to show his friends this side of him. He already lost both his parents he didn’t want to lose his best friends too. He hoped that they would just leave him alone but they wouldn’t give up.

Marley walked up towards him. “K.C I think we know how you feel and we just want to help”. K.C. hated those words. They didn’t know how he felt. They never will.

“JUST GET OUT!” K.C. shouted at her and slammed the door behind him leaving Marley hurt. He immediately regretted what he did. He didn’t want to take out his anger on anybody that he was close to especially Marley. He leaned against his door and slumped down and began crying silently. On the other side of the door Marley was confused. She wondered what she did to make K.C. react that way. K.C’s grandmother reassured Marley that she didn’t do anything wrong and that they just needed to give K.C. some time to grieve. His grandmother gave them the date of the funeral and told them to visit anytime they wanted. They said their goodbyes and the three of them left the house.

“I cannot believe we didn’t do what we came here to do.” Darren said. He was disappointed in himself and Courtney saw it. She put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

“You know Darren you can’t fix every problem that comes your way. K.C. lost both of his parents. How would you feel if you lost both of your parents?” Darren didn’t want to think about it. He knew he probably would have a heart attack if he lost both of his parents. “I think his grandmother is right. We should just give him time to grieve….ok?” Darren nodded in agreement. Marley didn’t say anything. She couldn’t stop thinking about the look in K.C’s eyes before he slammed the door in front of her face. It was a look of sadness and pain. A look she had never seen in his eyes before. She wanted so desperately to run up to his room and hug him tightly telling him it was okay to cry but all she could do was stand there and hope that K.C. was okay.
