Chapter
(The following is a preview, like Teennick does the first minute of the episode the day before.)

Troy is in the car with Spinner and Emma driving on their way to Degrassi Magnet High for Troy's first day of highschool. The teen is pretty upset. He was born and raised in California and had to move to Toronto for highschool. However, the rest of his family isn't moving up there until his sister, Bridgette, starts highschool next year because she threw a fit about staying with her friends until the end of junior high; so Troy started living with his older cousin and his wife a few days ago. The boy is staring out his window with a sad and slightly angry expression. Spinner notices his cousin's sad face and tells him, "Don't worry about it dude, you're going to have a great time here. This was the best year to move too because if you chose to move next-", he was cut off. Troy rages at Spinner, "There is no 'best year' to move! California is my home!". Emma gives Spinner an uneasy look. "You'll get used to your new home! Relax!", Spinner reassures him, but he bounces back. "This isn't home! Where are my parents? My sister? My friends? My house?! This sucks and I know you would feel the same in my shoes!" Troy yelled as Spinner pulled up by the school. "It wont be that bad.", he tries to convince the younger boy. Troy darts his eyes at his cousin and says "Yeah right." before slamming the door.

The angry freshman walked over to a table outside the school and proceeded to take out a phone to text his friends back home. A skater kid walked up to him and he said, "Sup dude, I'm Kenny. I'm a freshman here and I'm kinda lost.". Troy shook his anger of his face and faked a slight smile, "Troy, Freshman.", he said while shaking Kenny's hand. Kenny notices Troy's true expressions and ask, "Okay. What's wrong?". Troy rolls his eyes and explains his situation to Kenny. The skater smiles and says, "Well, consider me your first friend in this country." Troy laughs and the two walk into school together.
