* The story starts in the summer of 2002 to Jan of 2004 (Season two and begin of season three). And it's the first prequel to Emma, Manny, Alex and Mia Degrassi gymnastics stars.
Chapter one: The Reason Alex Nunez's move to Toronto!
Its June 1, 2002 Alex is setting on a bench that is outside of the apartment building that Emily (her mom), Chad's (Mom's boyfriend) and she is moving into. She has her left leg up on the bench and has an ice pack on her ankle and knee. She is also, watching and listens to her mom and Chad carry boxes out of both of their trucks and into the build. I know that Chad is mad at me for set on the bench and not helping carry the boxes up to the apartment on the fourth floor of the building. But it's not like I can carry boxes seeing that I am on crutch, because of a dislocation left ankle and knee. Along with having bruises my tendons and ligament in my ankle and knee.
Chad: Alex should be helping us, not set on the bench watch us! It's bad enough that we had to move here from Ajax, because she could not handle going to the same school or to practice's gymnastics at the same gym as that David guy.
Emily: Would you want to live in the same town as someone that try to rape you?
Chad: Ok, I get that, but not helping to pack the trucks up to move here or to carrying the box in is not fair, just because she injury should not get her out of help us.
Emily: She helped Chad, she packed all her staff into boxes and she will unpack her boxes and put her things away. After you have carried them into her bedroom and set her bed up.
Chad: She should have to carry her boxes upstairs to the apartment on her own!
Emily: How do you what Alex's to help carrying her boxes?
Chad: She could carry the box upstairs by hop up the stairs on her good leg!
Emily: That stupid Chad, she could hurt herself worse.
Chad: She should have not got hurt in the first place. I suppose she is going to use be injury as a reason to get out of found a weekend job too?
Emily: We have not even been in Toronto for a day and you want here to get a job already?
Chad: Yes
Emily: It's not like we have family in town that will hire a fourteen- year -old, like we did in Ajax. She could have a problem find a job here. In fact she might not be able to get a job in Toronto till she turns sixteen on April 11, 2004.
Chad: If she goes to Degrassi community school and goes into the office and asks for a work permits and fill then out and then turn them in with the job application. Alex will be able to find a job.
Alex: Fine I will go to the mall and put job application in, I already pick up the permits, when mom took me to visit Degrassi last week.
Chad: Good!
Alex gets up from the bench and grabs her purse that hang across her shoulder and then she grabs her crutches. She then hops down the street and heads to bus stops. She gets onto the first bus that pull up and stops. Alex takes a set in the first seat on the right-hand side of the bus. On the ride to the mall see starts daydream about the day that change her life and made her mom, Chad and her move for the fifth time in two years. It was a Sunday morning on May 19, 2002. Alex heads into the Ajax Gymnastics Center. She walks into the locker room, so she can change into her leotard. After a few minutes she has finish getting dress and lays down on the bench for a few minutes. She close her eyes and put her hands on her stomach and wish it was not upset for the fourth day in a row. She hears someone knocking on the girls locker room door.
David: Are you ready to training Lexi?
Alex: I tell you before don't call me Lexi. Only my mom, her boyfriend, family member and my best friend are allowed to call me by my nickname!
David: Hurry it up in the locker room Alex, you have a lot of time to make up for, seeing that you miss the last two and half days of practices, because you were too sick to get out of bed or to go to school or come to practice.
Alex: I will be out in a few minutes!
David: Ok, you are training bars first.
Alex: Whatever, David. Where is coach Tim?
David: His wife went into labor this morning so, he asks me to come and spot you today.
Alex: Ok
David: I will meet you at the bars.
Alex: All right David!
She set up on the bench and grabs her gym bag off the floor. She stands up and starts head to the door of the locker room. Wishes someone else was here with her and David, because David has always given her the creeps. She open up the locker room door and start walking towards the bars. When she gets over to the bars and David, she set her gym bag on the floor. She then kneels down and gets out her bar grips and puts them on.
David: (As Alex is getting her bar grips on.) So, Alex's did you go and see the doctor and find out what you have?
Alex: I get food poisoning from eaten the school food, plus a touch of the stomach flu.
David: That not good, are you feeling any better?
Alex: No, I am still nausea and would rather be at home in bed asleep.
David: Let get start training then, so you can get the twelve hours of training you need to make up done. So you can go home and go back to bed.
Alex: Ok, lets get starts.
David walks over to the left side of the uneven bars and Alex puts some chalk on her heads then walks over to the bars. She mounts the uneven bars with a Roundoff to an Arabian tuck/pike Salto over the low bar to the high bar. She then does a Clear/Free hipcircle to handstand 3/2, then does a Tkatchev 1/1 to an Endo piked to handstand 1/1. She then does a Full-twisting Pak salto to the low bar, She does a Toe-on to handstand 3/2 to a Inner stalder through handstands with flight to get back to the high bar. She does a tap swing to set up for her dismount. Then goes into her dismount, which is a Flyaway back layout 1/2 into a front layout. She lands the dismount, but stumbles backwards and she is not able to get her feet. David runs over to her a catch Alex before she falls backward into the low bar.
David: Are you ok Alex?
Alex: Yeah, Just dizzy.
David: Go set down on the floor mat and drink some water.
Alex: I am fine with set down and take a break. But I do not want to drink any water, because I will just end up throwing it up.
David: You need to push the fluids. To try and stay hydrate.
Alex: Fine!
She grabs her water bottle out of her gym bag and then walks over to the floor mat. She set down on the floor, she takes a drink of water. Alex then recaps the bottle and set the water bottle on the floor next to her. She then lays down and close her eyes hope that this would stop the room from spinning. She knows that it won't help, she is dizzy from not be able to keep food or water down for four days now. David tip toes quietly over to Alex and pulls his pants and underwear down. He then kneels down over Alex and start take her leotard and underwear off. When she feels David on top of her, she tries to push him off. David push her back down and pouch her in the face.
Alex: Stop
David: No
He starts to rape her and Alex's kicks David in his groin. At the sometime the door to the gymnastics center opens and Coach Tim walks into the center. Tim runs over and pulls David off of Alex's and throws him his jeans. Alex's daydream ends when the bus comes to a stop in front of the mall. She stands up and grabs her crutches, then hops off the bus and into the mall.
