Ep. 1 Cheetahs Never Win Pt. 1

-In the gym, cheerleading practice-
Paige: Ok you guys, positions!
They do a routine, Manny messes up
Manny: Whoops, sorry.
Paige:sigh Manny, can I see you after practice?
Manny: Um...sure Paige.
Cheerleading practice ends
Manny: That was a great practice, huh, Paige?
Paige: Yes, great. Now let's get down to business.
Manny: Business?
Paige: Should I spell it for you?
Manny: Sorry, go on.
Paige: You have the important position of co-captain. A co-captain is responsible, punctual, alert, and respectful.
Manny: Of course.
Paige: Don't interrupt. You haven't been filling any of these qualities. In the best interest of the squad, I've decided to take you off the team.
Manny: What?
Paige: No further questions.
Paige gets up and walks away
-Outside school-
Sean gets out of his parents' car.
Ellie: I can't believe your parents moved back here just for you!
Sean: Hi Ellie. Me too.
Ellie: So we're still friends right?
Sean: Of course. Let's go.
They go in the school
-In Homeroom-
Manny:(Whispering) Hey, Liberty! Guess what I heard.
Liberty: What? Nothing about me I hope...
Manny: Um...no. Paige. Paige MichalChuk. You know she's dating our ex-teacher right?
Liberty: Affirmative. Mr. Matthew Oleander.
Manny: Yeah...anyway, I heard he's cheating on her!
Liberty: What? Have you told her?
Manny: Not yet. I was hoping the rumor would spread to Paige so I wouldn't have to. You know our history.
Liberty: Yes. Yes, I do. And I'll try my best to spread it.
Emma looks over and raises an eyebrow at Manny
-At Lunch-
Sean: So, did I miss anything while I was gone?
Jimmy: Um... yeah, quite a bit.
Sean: What? Fill me in.
Jimmy: Ok here goes. Craig asked Ash to marry him, he's now bi-polar, Emma got a disease from Jay, as you know Spinner and Jay are expelled, thanks for the wheelchair, Paige is dating our teacher, Marco, Dylan, over, Paige and Manny were in a catfight, Oh, and Paige ripped Manny's prom dress off.
Sean:(Wided-eyed) Wow.
Jimmy: Yeah that's only about 10 of the drama. Degrassi is 145 intense.
Sean: You got that right.
Sean looks at Liberty who's walking by.
Sean: Be right back.
He gets up and goes to Liberty
Sean: Liberty, hey.
Liberty: Sean, hey! Welcome back.
Sean: Do you mind if I sit at a table with you?
Liberty: You wanna have lunch with me?
Sean: Yeah, I do.
Liberty smiles, they go sit
Jimmy:(Watching Liberty and Sean) Sean...and Liberty? No way.
-At Manny's locker-
Manny: I can't belive Paige kicked me off the Spirit Squad! That's so unfair.
Emma: And so...Paige. But I guess she'll get what she deserves when she finds out about Matt, huh?
Manny: Um...Yeah, Guess she will.
Emma: It's not true is it Manny?
Manny: Of course it is.
Emma: Then who's he cheating on her with?
Manny: I didn't get that bit of information.
Emma: Hmm...
Manny: Look. If I was doing it just to get back at her, wouldn't I have told the world by now?
Emma: Whatever. I don't believe it, until I see it.
Emma walks away
-Outside Degrassi, after school-
Ellie: Sean! Sean wait up!
Sean's walking down the steps with Liberty

Liberty: It's ok. I'll see you tomorrow.
Sean: sigh Hi Ellie.
He keeps walking
Ellie: Sean what's-
Sean: Ellie! I'm busy! We're over! So stop stalking me!
He walks home Ellie cries and runs home
-Paige and Matt are at a restaurant eating-
Paige: Matt, I hate even bringing this up, but I have to.
Matt: What? Your not, Pregnant are you?
Paige: Um...no. We've never even...
Matt: I know, I know. Just a joke. What is it?
Paige: Are you cheating on me?
Matt: What? Why in hell would I cheat on you?
Paige: So you aren't?

Manny: Hazel? Hey.
Hazel: Where do you get off doing that?
Manny: What?

Hazel: Paige was crushed when she heard the rumor. She confronted Matt, he told her it wasn't true, she called me and told me everything, I traced down the rumor and it went all the way down to you.
Manny: Look Hazel-
Hazel: No! It's not true. You did it to get back at her. You're so pathetic.
