My body trembled not only from Morty's rumbling engine but also from the nerves I felt as I pulled up to my new school. Never in my seventeen years of life had I felt so unprepared for something. Outside of the school kids were running around in brightly colored clothing hugging each other and laughing. Frankly, I found this fucking disgusting. At that moment I realized that Degrassi would not be my saving grace but just another place where people looked at me like the weirdo. Moments after pulling into a parking spot a football slammed into the hood of my hearse, causing me to jump ten feet in the air. With narrowed eyes and flared nostrils I turned my head to see two guys, both bigger than me, staring wide eyed at the car. Faster than I could realize I was doing it I had cut the engine and leapt from the car. "What the hell!" I yelled and one of the guys, the taller and bulkier one, held up his hands and flashed me a smile.

"Dude it was an accident, relax." He said quickly and I glared at him as I bent down to pick up the ball. My pale, slender hands and black finger nails looked unnatural holding the rough leather but none the less I threw it back in a perfect spiral watching it soar directly into the hands of a now shocked tall kid. He stared at me in a really creepy way so I picked my bag up off the ground and began to walk away.

"Wait!" I turned and saw the other kid had taken a step towards me "You'll have to excuse Owen, football skills make him jizz his pants." He said and Eli smirked "I'm Fitz." He said extending a hand and reluctantly I shook it, putting my poker face back on.
"Eli" I stated and then my eyes swung to a near by car where a girl with big brown curls laughed.
"Thank god it's short; these two can't really handle big words." The girl slid off of the small red car and walked towards the three boys. Of all the girls I had ever met I would have to say that none of them radiated the type of attitude that I felt from "Bianca" She said and I cocked my head to one side, really taking her in. Every feature on her face was perfectly proportioned and her skin was tanned in a way that made her glow.

"What are you guys like the welcoming committee?" I asked and Fitz laughed as he lit a cigarette.
"Fuck no," Smoke puffed out of his mouth as he spoke "We're just your regular old high school delinquents." Bianca rolled her eyes at this and Owen threw the football back to his friend, finally breaking the disturbing stare on me.
"What grade you in emo boy?" He asked

"Eleven and I prefer Eli"
"Us too" Bianca said with a small smile playing at her lips. A bell sounded through the schoolyard and I turned again quickly.
"Thanks for denting my hood." I shouted over my shoulder as I walked towards the school alone, just the way I liked it.
