What do universities look for?

Well, what you need to do now is stop slacking off. You should do better in the next grades. What universities look for you is definitely a good standing grade, well, it depends though to what universities you're going to. The better universities, the harder it requires you. But, you also need to be good outside your academic. Try to do a lot of volunteer, and part time job. Take AP Classes. Be active. Most universities also look at your grade 9 grades, but you can make things up with what I told you, your involvement in extracurricular clubs, stuff like that.. A good personal statement when you apply also one of their consideration. Good luck with that!
