Degrassi: 99 Problems prt. 1

Torres vs. Stavros

We all know Riley’s dark secret, that he is gay. He isn’t willing to come out yet because he wants a “normal” high school life. But his need for normality may cost him his boyfriend Zane. Is he willing to let that happen?

Riley wants Zane to stay away from him in public so people won’t get suspicious of them, just until football season is over. But, that all goes down the drain when Zane tries out for kicker in the football team. Riley doesn’t like that idea.

Riley has bigger fish to fry when he finds out that the new kid, Drew Torres, wants to try out for QB 1 (Quarterback). Riley and Drew are in competition for QB 1, but Drew needs to understand that he’s a rookie.

Drew overhears a conversation between Riley and Zane revealing Riley’s secret. Drew uses that secret to his advantage, since he wants QB 1. He threatens Riley, saying that if Riley doesn’t step aside of QB 1 then he will tell the whole team. Now, Riley loves football but he doesn’t want his cover to be broken also. So, it’ll be interesting to know what will Riley do?

Then, Riley asks Owen what he thinks of Drew and Owen says that he thinks Drew is a cocky and that someone needs to remind him that he’s rookie. Riley suggests that they do something to Drew to “welcome him to the team.” Obviously, knowing Riley and his temper there’s no way Drew is going to get out of this situation unscathed. But, there’s one thing that Riley hasn’t considered, Drew will still know his secret so Drew will be a threat to him.

Alli’s Poignancy

Alli’s pathetic attempt to fit in the cool group is annoying. She forgets she has Claire, sure Claire may from time to time be with her yearbook friends but Claire will always be her friend. Claire has to put with Alli and her obsession of wanting to be popular and dating hot guys again. I’m not even sure how Claire and Alli are friends.

Alli tries out for Power Squad because she wants Chantay’s life. But, Alli didn’t get in because of her feeble dancing skills. She takes to offense like a baby would do, but really Alli it’s not that serious. So, after talking to Claire Alli decides to create her own dance team that could be better than Chantay’s squad. Good luck with that, Little Bhandari.

Jenna and K.C

Well, I’m excited to see a rough patch in this so-called relationship. Jenna talks K.C into trying out for football but little does she know that every girl loves a football player. So, once K.C starts getting a lot of attention from girls Jenna starts getting jealous.

Jenna just needs to relax and stop being insecure. Sure, K.C’s phone may be ringing immeasurably and it may be a girl but at least he’s not answering it. That’s how much respect he has for you.
