I was almost late. I fed my daughter, Margarita and ran to school. I was
supposed to be in grade eleven but I was in grade ten classes. I hurried
into the class of unknown faces and sat in a lonely seat. Although I knew
nobody, everybody knew who I was, my story and my legacy. Half way into the
period a new kid came into class. His name was Antonio Cabrera. He sat
right next to me.
"Hey, I'm Antonio." He said to me. I was nervous. "but everybody calls
me Tony"
"I'm Emmanuella. But." I stopped there. What if somebody warned him about me? Manny, the Degrassi whore. I was about to tell him to call me Manny but I quickly thought of something else. "You can call me what ever you want" Cute and sexy. "Are you Filipino?" He asked me. I nodded. "Me too" he said. Class started. I already knew most of what she was teaching. Even though I was a year behind I wouldn't be if it weren't for having Margarita and then when I took off because of Craig's death. During the whole class I fantasized about Tony and me. It reminded me of when I first saw Craig. His sexy dark hair and huge puppy dog eyes. Before I knew it class was over. I had lunch. I saw all of the couples of Degrassi. Paige and Spinner, Jimmy and Hazel, Terri and Toby, Marco and Dylan, Emma and Chris. Then I saw Antonio. Nervously I walked over to him. "Is this seat taken?" I asked him. "No, Manny." He said. I sat down. "How did you like it?" "Like what?" "The nickname I made for you, Manny." "Oh, I love you." I said. "Holy shit! I meant 'it'. I'm so sorry" He smiled at me smoothly. The same kind of smile Craig gave to me. "So. What are you doing after school?" I blushed. "Nothing." I said. Then I had an idea. "You want to come over to my house" I wrote down the address and gave it to him. "Meet me here, thirty minutes after school is over." I paused. "I want you to meet somebody.
