My first couple of classes went good. Spinner guided me through all of them pretty well. He informed me which teachers so suck up to. Which ones to get a desk in the back row because they spit so much when talked that you would get drenched with their spit, and what classes you could talk through and your teacher wouldn't care. Spinner was like a dictionary of Degrassi . He knew everyone and everything about Degrassi. Next period was lunch. As Spinner informed me lunch is not met for eating. It is the social hour of Degrassi. Spinner told me that he could introduce me to some of his friends at lunch time. I was really excited to make some new friend. Just then the lunch bell rang. Spinner walked up to me.
"Come on lets go meet some of my friends" He said. I trail behind him. He led me to a group of three other kids sitting on a bench in the shade outside. There were two girls and one boy chatting together.
"Sinte," Spinner said "this is Paige, Jimmy, and Hazel."
"Hey" I said with a shy smile. I was a very outgoing person once people got to know me but whenever I first met people I was extremely shy.
"You New here?" Hazel asked. Well obviously!
"Ya." I said and looked down at my shoes.
"Where you from?" Jimmy asked. I think Spinner sensed I was nervous around new people so he spoke for me.
"She from Arkansas" Spinner told them.
"Wooa that's really far away from here. You must really miss home eh?" said Jimmy. Ah there he went with the "eh 's". Jimmy was sorta cute.
"Don't worry Hun," Paige said and smiled "Well make you feel right at home here. You'll love Degrassi." When Paige said that I knew right then I was going to like it here.
"So hun are you just going to stand there all day or sit down" Paige said. She moved her books over and made space for me. I smiled and sat down next to her.
"Want a bite?" She asked holding up her toasted bagel.
"No, thanks Im not really hungry." I said. I was thankful that Spinner had introduced me to friends.
"Hey Jimmy, want to go shoot some hoops?" Spinner asked
"Sure Spinner" Jimmy.
"Want to come Sinte? I'm sure you've played some b-ball before." Spinner asked smiling.
"I'm not in a running around sweating kinda mood. But I'm sure well come watch later " I said
"Definitely" Paige and Hazel said together.
"K, Catch you guys later" Spinner said as he jogged off with Jimmy to the basketball courts.
"Wow I've never seen Spinner smile that much in my life." Hazel said elbowing Paige.
"What do you guys mean by that?" I asked confused.
"All I'm saying is that Spinner doesn't smile that much when I'm around." Hazel said and giggled. I know what they were saying. They thought Spinner liked me. I doubt it he was probably just being nice. REALLY NICE!
"So what do you think about Jimmy and Spinner. Cute eh?" Paige said.
"Oh definitely!" I said. Jimmy and Spinner were EXTEREMLY cute. "Are they all like that in Degrassi?" I asked.
"Yup. They make 'em good in Grade 10. I guess we just got lucky." Paige said.
"Real lucky." Hazel added on. We all laughed.
"Come on guys. Let's go over to the basketball courts and see how our 'hot Degrassi' guys are doing in their game" I said giggling. We all laughed and walked over the courts.
It was Friday. My first week at Degrassi had flown by really fast. I was beginning to really love being at this school. Still there was apart of me that was missing. Something was definitely different about me from when I was back home. Me being different wasn't a good thing. The worst part about it was that I had no idea what it was. I mean sure I was having a blast here but their was just on that wasn't right. Still I continued to enjoy the time a was having here. I was extremely happy that it was Friday because tomorrow was Saturday. You remember what Saturday is right? My date with Spinner! Damn, I never got this giddy about guys. I must really really like him. The funny thing is I hardly even knew him! Oh well!
It was lunch time. I walked over to the usual spot where I had been eating with Paige, Hazel, Spinner, and Jimmy for the past week.
"Hey" I said to them and sat down on the bench between Jimmy and Paige.
"Hey" They all said together. It sounded robotic. It actually kinda scared me! Everyone was silent for a minute. It was one of those strange awkward pauses which everyone hates. I wanted to say something but I had no idea what to say. Luckily Jimmy read my mind and broke the silence.
"So what's up?" He asked no one in particular. I didn't say it was a good silence breaker but it was something at least.
"Umm…the sky" I said. Everyone laughed. It was a corny joke but at least it got people to laugh.
"Now here I tough question" said Spinner. "What's down?" Yet another corny joke today!
"Ooo I know!" said Paige said and raised her hand pretending like she was in class.
"Yes Paige?" said Spinner now acting like the teacher.
"The ground!" She said with a big cheesy smile.
"Hey the rhymed!" said Hazel. "What's down? The ground!"
"I'm I poet and I didn't even know it!" said Paige rhyming again.
"Calm down Paige." said Jimmy "I doubt you're a poet number one because you flunk English glass and Number two- that hardly even rhymed !"
"Go ruin my moment why don't ya Jimmy." Paige joked. "I felt special."
"Suuuuure" He said and rolled his eyes.
"Hey Spinner lets go ball some" Jimmy said
"Sure he replyed"
"So Sinte," Hazel asked me as the guys walked away. "Whatcha think your gonna wear on Saturday?"
"No Idea." I said. "Any suggestions?"
"I know," She said and then she got a big smile on her face. "We could go shopping!" Paige looked like the girl who was obsessed with shopping. I guess she will show me all the good store's around here.
"Great. Hazel You coming to?" I asked
"Duh!" Hazel said while examining her perfectly manicured nails.
*****************************************************************************************
I'm completely useless when I'm shopping. I used to wear all black. Or I'd wear maroon and red together. I was lucky when one day my mother pulled me aside and showed me myself in the Mirror. I then realized that I could never shop alone! I'm not as bad with my fashion sense now. Mainly because I go shopping with my friends and they help me a lot. It's not like I need people to shop with me so my clothes are "in". It's that I need to go shopping with people because if I don't I will look like a goth. I was scared when I moved here and started at a new school I would have no friend and no one to shop with. Leaving me look like a total freak for the rest of my teenage days. Luckily I had made friend with the two most fashion informed people in my grade- maybe in the whole goddamn school! I had definitely got lucky. I think when we got to the Mall after school Paige and Hazel realize that I had no fashion sense so in every store I just was shoved into a dressing room while they picked out outfits for me to try on. This whole routine I had to say worked out pretty good because I got some really cool clothes!
When I woke up Saturday morning I felt sick. At first I thought that was actually sick. Then I realized that I was just nervous. For the rest of the day I watched TV. Well I didn't really I sorta just stared at the screen and thought about what tonight was going to be like. But I'll just call it watching TV. At 7:30 pm Spinner called. I picked up the phone
"Hey is Sinte there?" Spinner's calm voice said over the phone
"She might be" I said teasing him.
"Oh then I guess if she's not there we should just not go out tonight" He teased me back. Even though we were one the phone I knew that Spinner was smiling now and I was too.
"Ill go get her" I joked "Ok so I'm here now" I said
"Good!" he said. He laughed. Then I laughed. Then we both laughed. He told me that he would pick me up at 8:30 and we were going to pizza and a movie. The typical first date-of course. No guy would ever think of something orginal for a first date. Wait did he say he was going to pick me up at 8:30? It was 7:35 and I'm the kind of girl that needs like two fucking hours to get ready. I have to go get ready! I took a shower and blow dried my hair. Then I straightened it with an iron. Not to sound stuck up or anything but for once my hair looked prefect. I put on a cool pair of dark blue jeans and a white tank top. Then I did my make up. At about 8:15 I was ready. I had 15 minutes though and I was pretty sure that Spinner wouldn't come EXACTLY at 8:30. I mean come on he was a guy. Guy's were always at least 5 minutes late to like everything! For the next 20 minutes I lay down on my bed. There was absolutely nothing going through my head- my mind was blank. I was just staring straight up at the ceiling. At 8:45 the phone rang and woke me from my trace of nothing.
"Hey" said Paige's voice. Even though I had only met her on Monday we had been talking every night on the phone. So she had already memorized my phone number.
"Hey." I said and sighed. I thought she was Spinner. I mean he was a guy but it was getting late.
"So im guessing he's not there yet?" Paige asked.
"Obviously!" I said.
The doorbell rang.
"Gotta go. The doorbell just rung and I pretty sure it is Spinner" I said.
"Your probably just lying so you have to get off the phone with me." Paige said. The doorbell rung again.
"Paige- I really gotta go. He's here" I said.
"Surrrreee" Paige said.
"Bye Paige!" I said while rolling my eyes. I then hung up the phone and ran over to open the door.
When I opened the door Spinner's finger was on the doorbell getting ready to ring it again.
"I don't think you'll have to ring it again Spinner" I said.
"Well you took a long time to open it!" He said smiling
"We'll it took you a long time to get here!" I said smiling back.
"Then we're even" he said and pulled out his hand for me to shake it and call it even. I had a better idea. I leaned up and kissed him lightly on the lips.
"Even" I then said.
"Well that answers the question if you kiss on the first date" Spinner said. "I'll just take that question off my checklist."
"You have a checklist?" I asked "You dork!"
"I don't I have a checklist. I was just joking!" he said.
"Sure Spinner" I said sarcastically. Spinner laughed.
"Come on Sinte," He said. "Let's go! Were going to miss the movie."
"K," I said "Just let me get my coat." I turned around to get if but before I could Spinner stopped me.
"You don't need your coat Sinte, I'll keep you warm!" Awww that was sooo cute. EXTERMLY cheesy but definitely cute.
"But Spinner what if I'm still cold?" I asked teasing him.
"Then you better get your coat!" He said. I got my got my coat and we headed for the movies.
The date had gone amazing. Spinner had chosen a scary movie for us to see. I love scary movies-they freak me out, thats the greatness of a scary movie. After the movie Spinner took me out to this Pizza place were we just eat and chatted like we had know each other all our lives. But now our date was coming to the end. Spinner was walking me up the steps to my house.
"So did you have fun tonight?" He asked
"Spinner. I had an amazing time!" I said.
"And it was only dinner and a movie!" He said. "Imagine what could happen on our second date!" yet another cheesy line from Spinner tonight!
"How do you know we're going to go out again Mr. Mason?" I asked with a sly smile.
"Well," he said "are we?"
"Maybe." I said still smiling.
"Maybe?" he asked and raised an eyebrow. He then leaned down to kiss me and unlike our first one at the beginning of our date this one wasn't so soft and innocent if you know what I mean. Soon we both pulled away. I opened the door to my house just before I closed door and lost view of Spinner I said
"As the answer to your question. Yes. And I cant wait for next time." I then smiled at him for a second and closed the door behind me.
Back at school on Monday morning Paige and Hazel were grilling me with questions about my date with Spinner on Saturday.
"What movie did you see"
"how did you do you hair?"
"what shoes did you wear?"
"You guys all I'm gonna say is that me and Spinner had a REALLY good time." I said with a smile. That date was amazing probably the best I have ever had and Spinner was…well…great! He was cute, funny, smart, sweet, wore decent clothes, didn't have bad breath…yup he seemed like the perfect guy for me…I think!
"Wake up from Dream land girl" Hazel said nudging me. I guess I had sorta zoned out while thinking about Spinner!
"Hey party peeps" said a sweet voice behind us. Me, Paige, and Hazel all turned around to see Jimmy jogging up to us while dribbling a basket ball, with Spinner close behind.
"So Paige, what did you get on that history test?" I asked changing the subject, as Spinner sat down beside me.
"Don't wanna talk about it." Paige said while examined her newly manicured nails. Jimmy and Spinner looked at each other.
"FLUNKED!" they said. Answering my question for her. Paige just rolled her eyes at them and returned to looking at her nails.
"Hey Guys!" said a voice behind us.
"Hey it's the Craig-man" Spinner said. They gave each other "the guy hug/handshake" thing. I laughed I love it when guys did that.
"Hey Craigory!" Paige said.
"Paige, His name is Craig not Greg or Gregory" said Hazel
"Duh!," said Paige flipping her blonde hair "I was just trying something new- you know starting a new trend!"
"Paige hunny, I think that's definitely one trend of yours that no one, and I mean no one will follow!" Spinner said laughing.
"Guys, Joey is going out of town and im having a party at my house friday night. So are ya'll gonna come?" Craig asked.
"Yeah we'll go." Paige answered for all of us.
"Great, well I got to go" Craig said. "I promised Sean I'd help him study for his math test that he's gonna fail anyway," then he left.
"Personally I think he's cheesy." Jimmy said grunting.
"I think he's sweet!" I said.
Spinner looked at me "Ok, im joking."
"Ok, thoughts what I thought." Spinner leaned over and kissed me.
"Oh…umm…well…I gotta go" Jimmy said and we watched him ran off.
"Maybe he had to pee" said Spinner. We all laughed. But I was thinking something else.
"Ya maybe.." I said to myself.

"So hun are you just going to stand there all day or sit down" Paige said. She moved her books over and made space for me. I smiled and sat down next to her.
