Saturday. Saturday morning. On Saturday morning kids should be having fun. Especially kids like Manny Santos who had a boyfriend. But instead of spending time with him, she walked up the stone steps of Degrassi Central School for detention.
Emma Nelson cleaned up the breakfast dishes and went to check on Spike who, lately, had been craving weird foods and throwing it all up.
"Hey Mom." Emma whispered when she stuck her head into her parent's bedroom.
Spike groaned in acknowledgment.
"I'm leaving for detention." Emma slowly shut the door, grabbed her coat and bag, and walked out of the house. A few minutes later she found herself at the front steps of Degrassi Central School. Emma drew in a deep breath and entered the school.
Ellie Nash walked up to the school, snapping rubber bands against her wrist. She sighed, having been to detention for the past three Saturdays, this was getting boring. As she was about to walk into the building she heard a car pull up. Turning around, Ellie saw her once best friend, Marco Del Rossi, get out of his dad's car. When he spotted Ellie he stopped dead in his tracks. Finally he got his wits back and walked up next to her.
"Ellie." He said and nodded towards her.
"Marco." She said and walked inside.
Marco groaned and looked at the sky. Then he followed her inside.
