"It didn't take too long. I get along with a lot of people here at Degrassi, so it's not too bad. I have my flaws, though," she said. This much was true. A lot of people liked Ellie, because she's so different. Others hated her because she's so different. Altogether, Ellie keeps in mind that being at Degrassi is better than being at home with her mother. There's no way she could deal with being with her all day, every day. She's thankful she'd developed a lot of friends.
