TIME AFTER TIME
Chapter 1
"Hey Jimmy! Over here!" Emma yelled across the soccer field.
"Great job on the game, I saw you out there, what was that....9 saves? I got the next greatest goalie standing right beside me." Jimmy said WAY exaggerating how well Emma did in the game. "See Emma, I told you you'd be a great goalie" he added, putting his arm around her.
"Jeez Jimmy maybe you should have payed some attention to your girlfriend during the game, Ashley really counted on you coming tonight." Emma said removing his arm from her.
"Ya, your right, I'll go find her." he said taking off. Emma and Jimmy are best friends...but they aren't the typical set of best friends. They haven't known each other all their lives, their parents weren't friends before they were, they don't know each others favorite colors, and they are VERY opposite. Jimmy moved to Degrassi from New York, where he had lived all his life. Coming into a school like Degrassi after all those years in the New York ghetto was quite the transition for Jimmy, but Emma found everything about him exciting. The first week Jimmy had been in town the two had spent hours and hours on the phone talking to each other. Jimmy loved the fact that whatever Emma worked for she could get. Between Jimmy's bad-ass reputation and Emma's hard working determination, the two made quite the sight. Paige, Ellie and Spinner had also grown to like him...and well....so had the rest of the school. But ever sense Jimmy hooked up with Ashely things had been kind of different.....
Flashback 5 months earlier
"Don't do it Jimmy ppllleeaassseee" Emma said, begging him to reconsider.
"That's the thing...I kind of already did..." Jimmy said on the other end of the phone...waiting for Emma to blow up and yell at him anytime.
"Y-y-your going o-out with her?" Emma said so quietly Jimmy could barely hear her. Emma couldn't believe that one of her best friends was going to be the boyfriend of the girl that she has hated ever sense.....ever.
"I'm sorry, but she kind of pushed me into it, and I'm going to give her a chance...even you say everyone deserves a fair chance..." Jimmy said hoping his argument was going to work against Emma.
"Don't expect me to be nice to her. She is nothing but bad so don't say I didn't worn you" Emma said calmly and hung up the phone.
End of flashback
The next day at school
"Hey, you and Ashley are pretty close aren't you?" Jimmy asked Emma on their way to school.
"Ya, I guess...." Emma said, not actually wanting to admit that Ashley was growing on her.
"But, you never liked her before?" Jimmy asked.
"No, I guess you kind of...brought us together..." Emma said. She didn't really LIKE Ashley but she knew that Ashley needed her in order for her and Jimmy's relationship to work.
"Well she has been acting kind of weird lately...." Jimmy said sounding concerned.
"And your telling me this because?" Emma asked...already knowing the answer.
"Because, your my best friend, and you fix things so well, and you have a way with people an-" Emma cut him off
"And you want me to talk to her to figure out whats up...I'll do it tonight in soccer." she said rolling her eyes at Jimmy.
"Thanks Em, your the best!" he said running off to go join Spinner.
"Ya...i know i am..." Emma thought to herself. As she was entering the school Manny met up with her.
"He did it! He did it! He did it!" she said sounding VERY happy.
"You mean Craig?! He asked you out?!"Emma asked Emma asked anxiously.
"Yes! He wrote me a note and it was so sweet! Manny said smiling from ear to ear.
"I'm so happy for you! congratulations!" Emma said, very happy for Manny. Manny had wanted to go out with Craig for awhile and this made alot of things much easier for Emma.
"Thanks Em! I just thought you should be one of the first ones to know!." Manny said.
"Well thanks for tellin' me, but we should get to class we are already late, see ya at lunch!" Emma said. The two of them went their separate ways to class. Emma and Manny on the other hand WERE the typical best friends. They had been friends sense they were little kids and they knew each other more than they knew themselves. As Emma walked into the class room Ashley jumped off her seat and practically drug her out of the class room "I have to tell you something...NOW"
