I DON'T OWN DEGRASSI OR THE DIALOGUE, REBEL IN THE RYE TAKES PLACE DURING SEASON 6
Emma has brought such an intense joy to my life, not to mention the amazing summer I had, I think that I can be forgiven for thinking that my life's problems were over. However, life can't be great all the time. As I look back & remember it all: Peter coming after me because I took Emma away from him, Raditch suing my ass because I called him out on his bullshit, & J.T. Yorke, Degrassi's class clown, stabbed by some prick from Lakehurst. I realized 1 universal truth: The most predictable thing about life is its unpredictability. I swear to God, it is.
It all started the day before the 1st day of my Senior year at Degrassi. I'd picked Emma up in my 80's Mercedes & we drove around for about an hour. We stopped at a gas station to fill up.
"Man, this thing flies like a bird." I said as we got out of the car.
"I know, you really have a knack for restoring classic cars." Emma said. I shrugged.
"Eh, I do all right." I said laughing.
"Emma!" We turned around & there they were: Sean Cameron & Jay Hogart coming toward us.
"Sean?" Emma said surprised. "I haven't seen you all summer."
"I was in Wasaga & Tracker moved away so, i'm with Jay now." Sean said.
"Easy Broke back Mountain, he means he's sleeping on my couch." Jay told us. Emma then looked to me.
"James, this is Sean, Sean, this is James, my boyfriend." She said. introducing us. Sean offered me his hand.
"Oh, how's it going man?" Sean said as I shook his hand.
"Can't complain, Emma told me a little about you." I replied as Sean laughed.
"What did she say?"
"She said your taste in cars is better than your taste in friends." I told him,looking at Jay. Jay groaned at me.
"It was a year ago, get over it. "
"What happened between you 2?" Sean asked.
"Not much, his ex lesbian girlfriend only got Raditch to expel me, nothing major." I said, my voice full of sarcasm.
"Please James. let's just go." Emma said, taking my hand.
"See you around Sean." I said as Emma led me away.
"Look James, I don't like Jay anymore than you do, but do you always have to start something with him." Emma asked me.
"I can't help it Em, he brings it out in me." I replied.
"Just try to ignore him, ok." I kissed Emma on the cheek.
"Ok." I told her.
The next day was the 1st day of Senior year. I gave Emma & Manny a ride in my 80's Mercedes. Suddenly. Sean pulled up in his car.
"I'm...gonna go say hi to Sean's Biceps." Manny said as she ran over to him.
"Well, looks like Sean's out to make some conquests." I said laughing.
"Please, Sean has a tire iron for a brain." Emma said.
"You should know, you dated his ass."
"Well, I couldn't care less now. I've got brains, biceps, beauty, & a hot car all rolled into 1." Emma said as we kissed. "So, have you heard from Kevin?"
"Yeah, I sent him my rough draft for my sequel to Panther In The Rye. He loved it & it should hit stores in a few months." I told her.
"What's it called?" she asked.
"Catcher Without A Cause." I replied.
