TITLE: CAN'T HOLD BACK
Chapter One: Celebrate
Everyone was sitting in class until an announcement filled the intercom. It was Liberty's voice in the intercom, "Sorry for the interruption... fellow Degrassi students and faculty after long thought and determination we have decided that the Spring Fling dance will be back on. Get on your dancing shoes because the dance is going to be full of excitement...Spring Fling...hope to see you all there. Two weeks away. Thank You" That was the announcement.
"I am so pumped... hun, this is gonna be the dance of the year..." Paige leaned over to Spinner and smiled. He smiled back.
"Wait, so is this a tolo... or a regular..." Jimmy sat up waiting for an answer.
"What's a regular?" Hazel focused her eyes on him.
"You know... guy asks girl... just curious cuz if its tolo then i get to sit back and let you ask me..." He leaned back into his chair.
"Its Tolo." Ashley entered their conversation. Jimmy nodded his head and thought.
"So HAze... its ok , i can wait for you to ask... aint no rush..." He looked at Hazel.
"Ok" she rolled her eyes, "do you wanna go with me?" Hazel was sure he'd say yes.
"Of course he will, he's your boyfriend" Paige laughed, "look Spin, how cute" they both looked at Hazel and Jimmy. Ellie rolled her eyes and turned to Ashley.
"Are you going?" Ellie obviously wasnt into dances.
"Its suppose to be the dance of the year... but i dont know..." She looked down.
Craig looked over. When he saw Ellie notice he was looking he turned and talked to Marco. Ellie chuckled, "pathetic... he still has a thing for you..." she chuckled again.
"Who?" Ashley turned and saw Craig talking to Marco, "oh...whatever...so are you gonna go with Sean?" She eagerly turned back around.
"Sean... hmm... me and Sean at the Spring Fling, which is the perkiest most colorful happy go lucky dance of the year?" Ellie looked at Ashley puzzled.
"So is that a yes or a no..." Ash asked back.
"Im steering to a no..." Ellie gave her a look. They laughed.
Marco and Craig were talking. "So the dance is back on.... crazy stuff. its been on and off for weeks now..." Marco nodded his head.
"Well, after that fire of couse they're gonna second guess a big ol' group thing to happen again..." Craig said laughing.
"Are you gonna go?" Marco started putting away his books.
"With who?" Craig rolled his eyes and then looked at Marco.
"lets see... Ashley? no... Manny? maybe not... hmm...there's a million other girls at this school, Craig..." Marco tried to help him out.
"And who doesnt know my history?" Craig got Marco with this one.
"True... " Marco was going to continue until Craig interrupted him
"What if i asked Ashley... i know you think and they all think that she'd say no but --"
The class had one of those random quiet moments, "you cheated on her..." Marco stopped and noticed that maybe he was a little loud... "ahem... you defeated an otter? odd dream, Craig" He tried to be slick and cover it up. the class started talking again, and all was well.
Ashley leaned towards them, "talking about me?
"Otter?" Marco squeaked.
"otter.." She looked at them
"hey, maybe i just love otters..." Craig responded.
"Right..... cuz your just the otter loving kind of guy?" Ashley stared at him
"Jerk" ellie let out. Ashley turned to her and they started laughing.
"odd girls..." Marco said to Craig while staring at Ellie and Ashley laugh off. Craig laughed at Marco.

in another classroom across the halls. Manny and JT had been dancing around the subject of their feelings. Jt still had feelings for Manny but didnt want to anymore because of the way she had treated him during the Craig/Manny/Ash situation. emma and Manny were the typical friends again, but they didnt always hang out with each other, becuase they were both so busy.
Ms. Kwan walked around the classroom, "i am expecting well done assignments... and nothing inappropriate..." She turned to JT.
"What?" he responded to her look.
"um... remember you wrote about hot dogs and kittens last time..." Manny shook her head and laughed.
"well i thought it was good" Jt defended himself.
"appropriate is deserving of an A... hopefully." Kwan went back to her desk.
"Jt, you definitely need to buy a dictionary or something... cuz there are other words in the world..." Manny was going on...
"yea, well you could buy an attitude adjustment.... and maybe a sweater" He retorted back. She gave him a look. "im just kidding..." he tried to make it sound like he was playing. Emma rolled her eyes away from them because even though they were friends, she agreed with JT.
BRINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG the bell rang.
"Manny, sorry.... " He really was.
"Fine, whatever.... " Manny replied.
"lemme make it up to you..." He walked with her.
"how?"
"let me take you to the dance?" Manny thought about it, she did like him but he was annoying sometiimes.
"Fine... one condition though..." She said as they stopped walking, "you have to be nice to me.... and"
"i thought it was one condition" he said
"well...." she thought, "fine." they walked off.

Jimmy was in the MI lab trying to finish up his essay due in to Ms Kwans class next period. Ashley entered the room and sat at the only empty computer, which was next to Jimmy. She saw him start pushing the buttons randomly and quickly.
"um, what are you doing?" Ashley stood about to laugh before she sat down. Jimmy looked up as she started to sit.
"huh? this stupid computer's messin with me like a mofo.." now he stared at the screen.
Ashley looked at it, "that your essay?"
"yea... " he stared into the screen, "hell no. it froze." he leaned back into his chair.
Ashley shut down his computer, but he was too mad to say anything and just let her do what she was doing. She turned it back on and his essay popped back up
"how'd you--"
She smiled feeling proud she knew how to fix something, "you shouldnt use this computer... i used to use it and it took a while to figure that lil trick out" she went back looking at her screen
"so YOU broke it?" he laughed
Ashley turned to him smiling, "yea.... so? what are you gonna do about it?" she laughed.
"um... " he pushed her chair and laughed, "what now?!?"
She sat there in her chair that he pushed and laughed that he did that. He started laughing and pulled back her chair. Ashley sat the whole time and never got out of the seat. She looked at him confused, while laughing.
He smiled, "juss playin..."
"you are definitely weird" she smiled and then turned back to work on her computer.
"dont hate" Jimmy laughed and then printed out his essay...
Spinner had been observing the two since she entered. When jimmy got up, Spinner gave him a confused look. Jimmy didnt know why or care.
