Degrassi Wiki

Paige Michalchuk and Hazel Aden were best friends by the first season of Degrassi: The Next Generation. Though usually in Paige's shadow, Hazel was no pushover. On more than one occasion, she stood up to her best friend and did her best to keep Paige's mean girl attitude in check. Hazel was always ready to offer Paige words of advice and support throughout her many ordeals. Although Paige's first girlfriend Alex Nuñez threatened to drive a wedge between Hazel and Paige, their friendship prevailed right up until graduation.
