Ok so I don't own any of the characters, places ECT. You get the drift. Aren't you excited the first chapter! Oh yeah and if it sucks please cut me some slack it's my first story. And review fast and tell me if you like it because if you don't then I'll stop.

Chapter One: The Big Question

"Elle you have to help me I'm desperate," Craig said with a shortness of breath.

It was right after the holiday season, and Craig had just screwed things up big with Manny and Ash. Then again what else is new?

"Ok what," Elle replied.

"I screwed things up big time with Ash and since I know you're her best friend I need you to help me get her back...please."

"No way, I hate getting in the middle of relationships. I just screw things up even more than they are," said Elle.

"Please, please, please. I'll do anything, anything," Craig begged.

"Fine", said Elle, "but promise me something. If I make things worse, don't say I didn't warn you."

"Thank you so much Elle. You're the best," Craig said walking backwards to class as the bell rang.

After school, later on that day, Elle and Craig met up outside on the steps of Degrassi High.

"So . . .," Elle said, "If you don't mind me asking why Ash? What ever happened to Manny? You two made a cute couple."

"Yeah I guess we did, but Ash and I have this special connection than Manny and I don't have. I can't explain it really, except to say that I love her", Craig said as he starred at the concrete steps. "You know what I'm talking about right?"

"Actually, I can't say that I do know what love feels like. Sorry", said Elle. "You need to talk to her. Write her a note; call her on the phone do something. What you did to her was pretty crappy and knowing her she probably never wants to talk to you again. I'll try talking to her, but you have to promise that you'll try too. And whatever you do don't write her another song, although I have to say that I really liked the last one."

For a moment their eyes locked and they smiled at each other. Elle turned back towards the street, but for a second Craig kept looking at her.
