"Seaaan...stop it!" Lauren said smiling.
"Oh, you know you don't want me to." Sean answered, giving her a squeeze.
"Okay you two, I'm not one to enforce the rules or like anything, but you guys are totaly getting disgusting." said Paige, grimacing at them as she walked by. They were in the halls of Degrassi High in between classes. It had been 2 months since the term had begun and things were looking a lot brighter.
"Okay Sean, let's go to class." Lauren said sighing.
"Why can't we just cut? We could go to the revine..."
"We have a huge test on chapter four though! I can't afford a zero."
"You have an A in that class. You have an A in every class."
"No I don't. Well yeah I do in that class, but only cuz' Miss Mac is the easiest social studies teacher ever! You have an A too!"
"So remind me again why we can't skip class?"
"'Cuz I don't like zero's. And if I don't like something I'm not happy, and if I'm not happy, then I don't feel very...out going. Know what I mean?"
"Got it. On to class." Sean said sighing and moving away from Lauren.
"Hey, come on. Don't be moody." Lauren said, taking his hand.
"Yeah yeah yeah." said Sean lightly, putting his arm around Lauren's shoulder. They slipped into class just as it was about to start.
"Hey where were you?" Emma asked, turning around.
"With Sean." Lauren said grinning.
"Well, you look happy!" Emma said laughing.
"What can I say...I've been having a good week."
"I'll say. You and Sean have been inseperable lately."
"Well, I could say the same about you and Jimmy." Lauren said laughing.
"That's just the way Jimmy is." Emma said matter-of-factly. "He was like that with his old girlfriend, Ashley, too."
"Who is she? I always hear people talking about her but I never met her."
"She's always wearing black...she hangs around Ellie a lot."
"Still no idea. Any time I see Ellie she's around Marco."
"Well that's a totally different story. Wich could take forever to fill you in on. Hey- you wanna have a girls night this Friday with Manny and me? It could be fun, I mean anytime we're ever together it's always with Craig, Sean and Jimmy. We need a lady's night!"
"Yeah, sound's cool. I'll bring the chips."
"Alright class, I know I said there was going to be a test today, but I got a few complaints that I didn't give enough time for preparation so I'm extending it untill tommorow" Miss Mac announced. "You can spend today reviewing in pairs."
Lauren walked over to the other side of the room where Sean sat. She looked at him sheepishly. "I'm sorry. I really thought we were going to have the test."
"It's okay, how would you know she was going to post phone it." he replied.
"Hey, do you want to come over tonight? We can study for the test. You can stay for dinner."
"Yeah, sounds good."
"Awesome."
"Okay, now explain to me, why you need to study for the test tonight if you studied last night for it." Sean said playfully.
Lauren leaned in closer and wispered in his ear "Studying is code word for making out." she leaned back and winked. Sean smiled.
"I hope you know, I'm a studying fiend." he said. Lauren laughed and shook her head.
"Oh yes, there is just one thing. Friday night Emma, Manny, and I are having a girl's night."
"So no date?" Sean asked, his eyes drooping.
"Well we hadn't planned anything so I thought it would be alright." Lauren said.
"Yeah, okay."
"Hey, maybe you, Jimmy, and Craig could have a guys night seeing as how you'll all be free."
"Eh, I don't think so. Jimmy and I don't get along."
"But when we go out as a group-"
"-we ignore eachother as best as possible. Look, we're civil to eachother and all but we'll never be buddy-buddy."
"Okay, suit yourself." Lauren glanced at Sean. That little talk obviously hadn't gone that well. "Kay, think fast, what's manifest destiny?" She said, trying to cheer him up.
Sean pondered the question for a minute.
"Eeeeh. Outta time." Lauren said pushing an imaginary button. "The correct answer is 'the state of mind U.S. citizens had while moving westward, expanding the nation to the pacific ocean, where it's border ends today.'"
"Well that's exactly what I was going to say." Sean said, smirking.
"Yeah, yeah buddy, that's what they all say." Lauren said, patting him on the arm.
30 minutes later, they were all back out in the halls again, rushing to thier lockers to get their lunches and to get a good seat in the caf. Lauren found Emma, Manny, and Jimmy sitting at a far table and hurried over to join them.
"Hey guys." Lauren said cheerily.
"Hey! I can't wait 'till Friday. It's going to be so much fun!" Manny squealed, hopping up and down.
"Yeah I know!" Lauren exclaimed.
"What's Friday?" Jimmy asked.
"Ladie's night." Emma said.
"So...I don't get to see you?"
"Come on Jimmy, Friday night doesn't have to be designated date night. Why can't we do something Saturday?"
"I guess we could. But what do you need a ladie's night for anyways?"
"Oh, just so we can talk about how cute you are." Emma said, smiling. Jimmy grinned.
"Okay, lady's night is offically a good idea." He slid his arm around's Emma's waist.
"Hey, do any of you know where Craig is?" Manny asked.
"Yea, I saw him heading to the dark room before. He said he was gunna skip lunch." Jimmy said.
"That's strange. He must have forgotten to tell me." Manny said, furrowing her eye-brows. Emma and Jimmy glanced at eachother, mirroring worried looks. Manny didn't notice, but Lauren did. She shot Emma a questioning look, but Emma just mouthed 'later' and changed the subject.
"Oh, you know you don't want me to." Sean answered, giving her a squeeze.
"Okay you two, I'm not one to enforce the rules or like anything, but you guys are totaly getting disgusting." said Paige, grimacing at them as she walked by.
