Mercy Street's Side Road
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in this story except for Rachael Miller and Jackie Callahan. And as you'll notice I've inserted some of the dialog for from the actually episode, 'Mercy Street'. Enjoy!
Rick and his mother were in front of Degrassi Community School talking to Mr. Raditch, the principal, as Emma, Spinner, Paige, Alex, and Marco watched with disbelief. Rick was back!
They began talking to each other, not knowing they were being listened to.
"Yea, and he's your new classmate Emma. He starts 10th grade tomorrow." Spinner explained to her with a bit of unease to his voice.
"We have to do something!" Emma stepped forward.
"I know," Alex began with a sarcastic voice. "Let's adopt a dolphin. Train him to defend us from Rick."
Around school Emma was known as 'Cause Girl' because she was always trying to help something by coming up with protests for it.
Behind them two girls, one with long blonde hair and emerald green eyes named Jackie Callahan. The second, a new girl to Degrassi with wavy brown hair and sienna eyes, named Rachael Miller. The two had met while waiting for their semester class schedules. So they had decided to sit outside together.
With a curious look Rachael gazed at Rick, who was preoccupied with the dirty looks the others were giving him. "Do something about what?" She questioned Jackie.
"Huh?" Jackie looked in the direction she was. "Oh, it happened last year, after I came here. I don't exactly know the whole story though. But all I was told," she looked back at Rachael; Jackie's face was overcome with seriousness. "Is that he's bad news." She shook her head.
Jackie glanced at her watch and stood up. "Hey, I've got to go. I'll see you later, okay."
Rachael nodded as Jackie grabbed her bag and began to climb the stairs to Degrassi's main hall.
Rachael glanced back at Rick's face, as he quickly looked away from Paige, Spinner, and Emma who were all giving him looks of bitter hatred.
