You don't need to tell me, I know I rip off scream a little but it's because I want to make a sequel, and SCREAM gave me the perfect idea for the story, but I need a dark past for Emma. You'll find out what I mean soon. Enjoy the story!
The prank was cruel, Emma knew that. She sniffed and tried not to cry as she tried to wipe the paint off of her that Rick had left when he tried to kiss her. The prank was cruel but was she more cruel for shoving him away when he forced himself onto her?
She really didn't mean to 'lead him on' as he put it.. she was trying to be his friend when nobody else would. He looked at her like she was a monster for pulling away, but she just didn't see him like that. She tried to suck it up, and decided to just take the shirt off and throw it into the trashcan. Nobody could ever know he tried to kiss her, she'd just have to keep her distance from now on was all. The strength he had when she tried to get away was a little scary, she still shook a bit from it but tried to ignore it. He'd never really want to hurt her would he?
She prepared herself before she left the girls bathroom, and she walked back out into the Degrassi halls and pretended everything was okay.
Meanwhile, Rick slowly walked down Degrassi hall, dried up yellow paint on him still, he had run home for his gun. He turned a corner, to stop when Sean Cameron was suddenly in his face, his blue eyes darkened, staring back into Ricks eyes dangerously and Rick jumped since startled. Sean looked like he knew exactly what Rick was going to try to do. And he did..
"Put it away." Sean said, giving Rick a mad and stern look. Knowing what he was up to.
"why?" Rick spat but looked scared as hell but also curious. Sean could go running and screaming Bloody Murder, but he wasn't.. that wasn't normal.
Sean looked around, noticing no one watching them and turned back to Rick with a smirk, "Cause I have a better plan." he said.
Now, about 5 minutes later, Sean stood with Rick around a corner that peeked into a hall full of kids at their lockers. Rick eyed them all with Sean standing behind him in the shadows.
"they did it." Sean told him while pointing to his 'friends', Jay, Alex and Spinner, "They threw the paint and feathers on you." he whispered to Rick
Rick shook with anger, "I want them dead." He watched others walk down the hall, didn't even care what happened to him either.
"We'll get to it." Muttered Sean, looking around skeptically. He didn't want anybody to see him with Rick, it'd look too suspicious.
"Emma too." Rick said, looking over his shoulder, "I want Emma Nelson." He almost growled. How she led him on, she needed to be dealt with.
Sean's blue eyes peirced into Ricks, "I'll deal with Emma." He confirmed, raising an eyebrow.
"NO ME!" Rick whispered harshly, fully turning around now.
Sean snickered and asked, "You really want to fight me on this? Or do you want my help?"
Rick paused, and frowned deeply. "We can really do this and get away with it?" Rick asked him slowly.
"Yup." Sean breathed, annoyed. Wasn't this guy suppose to be smart?
"How?"
"Watch a few movies, take a few notes." Replied Sean with a dark smirk.
Later..
"I can't believe that freak kissed you!" Manny exclaimed, now sitting with Emma at the lunch table the next week.
Emma had let her know what happened after the game show with Rick, when he tried to kiss her... and how she admitted she only felt sorry for him, didn't like him like that. Rick had been skipping school a lot since the prank, she was almost worried.
Emma just sipped her bottle of water and sighed, "I don't want to talk about it anymore..." she said
Liberty, JT, and Toby sat around the table with them as well. Liberty smiled sadly to Emma, "If you do need to talk though, I'm here."
Emma smiled softly back but shook her head, "It wasn't too bad, nothing to freak out over. Just going to avoid him from now on." She shrugged.
JT looked to Toby, "Maybe you could too." He taunts. He didn't understand why Toby liked hanging out with that freak Rick.
Manny rolled her eyes at JT, "Where is Toby going to go when his other only friend ditched him for Webster over there?" she points to Libertys brother, Danny, playing with his basketball at the other end of the cafeteria and waved when they looked over.
Toby looked down, it was true, JT ditched him for no reason. Rick was his only friend now and he wasn't that bad of a guy! Sure he had his wierd moments but who didn't?
Jt sighed, narrowing his eyes at Toby who avoid his look. JT rolled his eyes and admitted, "OK. I may of been acting like a dick lately." JT slapped Toby's back, "Lets go play some ball Tobster, impress some ladies." He teased and Toby did a double take at JT. Was he serious?
He raised his eyebrow and then nodded, standing up and leaving with him as the girls rolled their eyes smiling. What ladies?
"Aw, friends again at last." Joked Liberty to Manny who giggled but then noticed Emma still out of it.
"Em?" she snaps her fingers in front of her face.
Emma blinked and then sighed, "I do still feel bad about the prank that was pulled on him." She admits.
"why? Wasn't you." Manny said with a shrug, nodding behind Emma shoulder, "It was clearly them."
Emma looked over her shoulder and saw Spinner with Jay. Defiantly true, Emma saw the smirk on Jay's face after it had happened. Also, Spinner was proudly clapping, Alex was even trying to hide her smirk. Emma couldn't help it, being the girl she was, she got up and went over because it'd been eating at her for days. Why did they have to do what they did?
"Jay." She said with crossed arms, "Can I speak to you?"
Spinner and Jay were laughing while in the cafeteria line waiting for food until Jay looked at the speaker with a glare until he noticed it was Emma. He had to smirk, it had felt like it'd been forever since he and his favorite enemy had went at it. She had been getting hotter too, so it'd be more fun to get under her skin..he wondered if he still could as he eyed her up and down. Geez.. when did they start growing up so fast?
Spinner was still laughing and grinning weirdly between Emma and Jay until Jay got serious and nodded at Spinner, giving him the motion to go. Emma looked serious right now. "What is it, Greenpeace?"
Emma didn't know why Jay had so much power over all these guys like Spinner, Towerz and even Sean. He was such an ass and acted as if he owned the school and the only ones that let him think that were the ones who didn't stick up to him. She wasn't like that, she didn't care for his 'I don't give a shit' attitude and his mean snarl from time to time didn't scare her either.
Spinner rolled his eyes but did leave, and they stood face to face with another.
Jay leaned on the wall by him, and held an untouched chocolate milk that he shook tauntingly, "Is it the milk? Want me to go say sorry to the cow?" he smirked while looking down at her.
She snickered, "Don't you think Mr Raditch is going to notice the only person who had permission behind the gym was Alex or Marco?" Emma asked him curiously.
Jay sighed, "Gp, don't you get tired of playing Nancy Drew?" he asked, leaning off the wall and stepping awfully close to her, "Ofcourse I did it. Who else is that clever?"
"Clever?" Emma asked, raising an eyebrow and snickered. He couldn't help but grin, her fire and spunk always had him begging for more. She went on, "Don't you get tired of playing the bad guy, Jay?" she asked him quite seriously. He shut his mouth slowly, eyes still on hers skeptically and hers filled with so much curiosity about him. Didn't he ever feel bad? He couldn't be just some heartless guy all the time..
Jay clenched his jaw and looked away as he explained bluntly, "Tell me, Emma. Who was it who protected you from Rick Murray at the start? Was I the Bad Guy then?" he tilted his head ever so curiously back at her and she looked away from him but couldn't escape his words, "You may of stopped the fight that happened after, but you saw that look on his face when you 'accidentally' tripped him at The Dot.. He wanted to hurt you." The truth hurt.
She swallowed the lump in her throat and starred up into Jay's eyes. He almost looked like he cared about her and her heart seemed like it actually skipped a beat but no, that had to be impossible. This was Jay Hogart.
Jay looked away suddenly and went to walk off before he turned bad, "My advice? Stay far away from him, Emma."
Emma? The blonde couldn't help but watch him walk away at the corner of her eye. He never really spoke her name before. The way it rolled off his tounge.. Emma blinked and snapped out of it, turning back to her friends table and walked back quickly. She tried to forget about that conversation and tried to ignore butterflies that were in her stomach. That was silly.
The next night, Rick and Sean were at Sean's house now. Sean yanked out a costume out of his closet as Rick slowly stepped into Sean's room, a bit shakily. He was nervous. Sean was a bad boy, trouble maker, just like Jay and Spinner right? So how could he trust him?
"We'll be wearing this to cover our face and identity." Sean confirms, tossing the costume on his bed.
Rick looked down at the costume on Sean's bed and creepily grinned, "Ghost face." He said out loud. He liked it. His eyes held glee and excitement. Those little Degrassi jerks were going to pay.
Sean rolled his eyes, "Let's just do this Rick. Tonight." He said, pulling a drawer out and grabbed out two large knifes.
Rick swallowed hard, staring at them and it shined him in the face.. he wasn't scared, he was ready for this. Just was nervous because this was so perfect..But he couldn't help but to ask..
"Why can't I get Emma?" he questions curiously as Sean turned from him to look out the window while holding his knife in his own hand, his back facing Rick now.
He sighed and finally replied, "Emma hurt you once. She hurt me a lot more then that." He stabbed his knife down so hard into his table that it stuck, standing up straight. Ricks eyes widened but then smiled.
School had ended for that week and Emma and Manny walked together down Degrassi steps, waiting for JT's car to pull around and drive them home. That's when Emma noticed Jay's famous orange civic, with him leaning on the front of it, watching her closely while he smoked a cigerette.
God, she hated cigerettes with the pollution and effects from it..yet, when he smoked it from his lips she was in a trance.. or maybe that was his eyes piercing through hers. Jay's always had nice eyes-
Emma looked quickly away and back to Manny who was talking about something until Jay actually started walking over to her. Emma's breathing got unsteady since not knowing what the heck he wanted from her.
"Greenpeace." He greets and slowly gazed at Manny, "Santos..." he focused right back on Emma, "Party tonight GP, at Spins house." He tauntingly glanced in Manny's direction, "Your friend here will defiantly know the way to his bedroom- I mean house."
Manny fumed, her and Spin were kinda maybe hooking up behind Paige's back but Spin swore he was going to dump her soon. But then again, Craig said that about Ashley too. She couldn't believe Spin told his friends about them though.. if Paige found out, it would start world war 3.
Meanwhile Emma tried not to give Manny a look. Did her best friend not learn!? Cheating equals bad.
Emma sighed and put her hands on her hips, "What makes you think I want to come?" she taunted Jay who couldn't hold back his grin. Had he mentioned he loved how long her blonde hair was getting? Some days he caught himself staring at it, wondering how soft it was. Alex always had short hair, sometimes greasy and smelt of smoke.
"Tell you what if you come?.." Jay asked, raising an eyebrow as if a dare, "..I'll apologize to Rick." He said with a smirk down at her.
Emma gave him an odd look, why'd he WANT her to come? Yet...hearing the word 'sorry' come out of Jay's mouth would be pretty life altering.
"JAY!" they heard a yell.
Spinner and Alex waited by his car for him, Alex with her friend Ellie, who thought it was strange Sean has been sick all week too... but wouldn't question it. Her poor boyfriend probably had the flu. "What's he doing with her?" Ellie practically sneered, noticing Sean's ex Emma with Jay and looked to Alex.
Alex carelessly shrugged as if she didn't care when she actually did. She been catching Jay eyeing Emma a lot lately... His teasing her was becoming too much like flirting with her. Alex would never admit it outloud either, but she knew Emma was pretty and not so flat chested anymore.. lots of guys were turning their heads and she was scared her boyfriend might be one of them. Jay has cheated before on Alex, and she knew it, hell she did it once too but over her dead body if she'd ever let him try to go after her mortal enemy, Emma Treehugger Nelson.
Meanwhile, Jay looked over his shoulder from infront of Emma and Alex was giving him a 'what the hell' look. He turned back to Emma and grabbed her wrist, before reaching into his pocket and getting a pen. Even Manny had to raise her eyebrows impressed..was he writing down his number? She eyed him and then Emma, smirking while she did. She could see potential here..Emma had failed to make Sean a changed man but maybe it could work on Jay? Or was that just wishful thinking?
Jay could be such a trouble maker sometimes..
He walked a few steps backwards when he was finished, still watching Emma with a smirk as she looked down at her hand. He grinned sideways until turning and going back to his friends and girl friend.
Manny peeked with Emma to her hand, the address of the party and his number.
"As if." Manny said while trying to stop even herself from grinning and blushing for Emma but Jay was gorgeous. Tall, lean, not TOO buff but buff enough and a smirk that made girls knees weak and for some reason, he had his eyes on Emma quite hypnotizingly. But lets face it, Emma was a babe too.
Manny turned to Emma who was a bit in a daze and then blinked, looking at Manny with a snicker, rolling her eyes, "As if." she said and tried to snort, looking less than convincing that she wasn't blushing either right now.
Manny rolled her eyes at Emma but then smiled, "Sure. But we're going to the party, right?" she danced around happily as Jt's car pulled up and Emma laughed, "Fine!"
"what about this?" asked Liberty, coming out and wearing a black short dress and they stood in Emma's room.
Emma couldn't believe they were going, she couldn't help but gaze down at Jay's writing on her hand now and then either. When he held it, she swore she felt these wierd tingles...she didn't know what it was. What was up with him? And what had happened to his more insulting remarks at her? It's like the older they got, the weaker his comebacks he had SUCH a staring problem lately...
Clearly Emma couldn't put it together.
Manny giggled on Emma's bed, "Boys will go coo coo banana's if you wear that out, Lib!"
Liberty blushed. Emma then got dressed next, and casually was putting her school clothes in her hamper as Manny and Liberty's mouths dropped when they saw her, staring at her.
"Em!" Manny squeeked, a sly grin growing.
Liberty pouted, "Why can't I have legs like you, Emma?"
Emma wore a mini light blue jean skirt, up top she wore a white tank top that ended just below her belly botton, flashing a bit of skin but not too much. Her hair was long, curled and bouncy. It looked natural, and her bangs perfectly pinned straight across. She wore some mascara and her skin was flawless. She shrugged and muttered, "Lets just go before I change my mind."
Manny yelped, jumping up and grabbing her jacket. She would NOT let Emma ruin the fun tonight! They HAD to go! "Toby and JT are going to meet us there. Supposedly EVERYONE is going to be there." Manny explained and led them up the stairs to Emma's front door.
"Yeah, like even my brother." Joked Liberty while putting on her jean jacket and she shut the front door behind them. Off to the party they go!
The party was pretty big at Spinner's house. He had a big house though and it was all grey brick and on the inside walls were white, everything looked classy and like a nice family home with obviously parents away on vacation or something. Emma took notice even Paige and Hazel were here, even though rumor had it that Paige dumped Spin today. Must of found out about that Manny thing or something..
"I'll take your coats, ladies. They'll be in the guest room." Said a voice and they turned to Jimmy Brookes.
Emma took hers off and handed it to him, they all did, and said their thankyous, he nodded and left.
Meanwhile, upstairs...
Sean stood with Rick and listened to the party downstairs, "Go out the back door, you don't want anyone to see you. It's down those stairs." Sean directed. When Rick nodded, Sean explained, "I'm going to go down to the party, pretend everythings normal while you create a distraction..preferably with Raditch. Be back for midnight so we can finish off our list." He confirms. Their 'list' was the victims they picked to kill... tonight. Raditch was their first.
Rick nodded and then left. They had both decided on Raditch since he gave a shit about his students. He always blamed Sean for things he never done and didn't ever stand up for Rick. Maybe this wouldn't of happened if he did so now Rick was going to go get his revenge and then come back.
The music thumped as Sean walked down the other stairs, making himself shown to the party. Ellie who was talking to Marco, smiled and ran over, "I thought you weren't going to make it!" she kissed him.
Sean's eyes just went around the room and nodded, "Yeah, feeling a LITTLE sick still though."
"If it gets worse, let me know. I have some advil in my bag." she insists and Sean just nodded until his eyes fell on something he was REALLY looking for.
Emma laughed with Manny from a far, sipping slowly on her drink because little Miss Perfect NEVER drank alcohol.
As hours went by, Emma noticed her drink finishing, "Want another?" she called over to Manny, the music was so loud! Manny nodded and Emma took her cup, walking to the kitchen. As she poured drinks into their cups from a keg, a husky familiar voice teased her..
"Thought Emma Nelson didn't like to drink?"
Emma's eyes looked up, a bit stunned he was talking to her but blinked. "You, Sean Cameron, shouldn't drink." She taunted a little back with a small uneasy smile when she noticed a cup in Sean's hands and went back to filling her own cup. Sean and booze didn't mix well together.
Sean watched her until walking closer and sighed, "Yup, I remember those days." Crashing Jimmy's party, bringing alcohol when he was only 13, starting fights..Sean smirked. Emma looked back and just awkwardly nodded and went to turn, "Hey." Sean called and she turned back with a deep breath.
Why did he wanna talk? They weren't 'friends', they weren't anything..he made that clear a year ago. He had really hurt her. Her first crush..
Sean shuffled his feet a bit and eyed her, "We okay?" he asked.
Emma gave him kind of a playful confused look, "You want to be?" didn't they declare war when he was stealing DVDs with Jay? And when he broke up with HER?
Sean nodded with such sincerity in his eyes, "yeah."
Emma eyed him and believed him so smiled softly and nodded, "we're okay then." With that, she left.
He smirked watching her until out of sight.
Meanwhile back at school, Raditch was finishing up some last little things before locking up his office. He hummed a tone and then heard a wierd noise. He looked behind him, nothing but the lights shut off, and empty hallways with lockers. He shrugged and turned back, locking the door and then turned.
"GAHHH!" he yelled out in horror, pain struck his face and stared at a ghost face mask. The killer had dug a knife in to his stomach and then quickly pulled it out.
Raditch fell to his knees and the killer slowly rounded him, going behind. Raditch's mouth was gushing out with blood and then the killer put his knife to his throat, and then slit it. Raditch fell to the ground, dead. But the killer aka Rick wasn't finished, he grabbed his feet and dragged him out the back doors to the school field.
It was getting a bit late at the party, so people started leaving, but our beloved Degrassi favorites stayed, and a few other randoms.
They died down the music a bit and Emma decided to go find Manny to go home. On her way down Spinners hallway from the kitchen to the front door, she squeezed past Marco and Craig who nodded at her as a greeting and she smiled back until she bumped into someone.
She looked up to the eyes of Jay Hogart, "Oh so you came." He teased playfully, crossing his arms over his chest and squinted his eyes. He wasn't sure if she would, she always had him at the edge of his seat.
"and you have an apology to practice for." She confirms with a taunting smile but her eyes twinkled, also just happy to see him. Wait..Emma whiped the smile off her face. Why was she being like this?
"Alright, Emma." He said her name again, and she felt her cheeks go warm as he drifted off, "I'm sorry I was ever a mean ass jerk to you." he said with a growing grin that he was trying to hide.
She rolled her eyes smiling. Nooo, he was SUPPOSE to say sorry to Rick. She shook her head, "I can't believe you, you know that? You're so irritating." she couldn't help but laugh though and he smiled back
Suddenly Alex came over and eyed them to then storm over. They both turned their heads to Alex who stood between now, arms crossed. "So what's going on here?" she taunted mostly Jay.
Emma opened her mouth but shut it. Her and Alex have fought before, she wasn't looking for another match. Though, she won last time, just to clear things up. Hehe.
Jay sighed, "nothin' Lex, passin by Greenpeace is all." He noted, nodding at Emma.
Alex didn't believe him for a second and decided to eye Emma who didn't look at her and just again looked around for Manny. Where was that girl? She jumped a little when Alex stepped right up to her, and even Jay almost stepped forward to stop Alex but she only leaned close to the blonde to whisper something to her that Jay couldn't even hear. "Watch out Goldie Locks, the wolf loves to bite." Alex taunts Emma before turning to Jay, "We're LEAVING, now." She demanded and stormed off.
Jay's eyes cornered at Emma, wondering what Alex said to her. Emma just awkwardly looked down into her cup, avoiding Jays eyes now. What if he was just playing with her? She was just some silly sophomore girl and he a senior with a girl friend and always stirring trouble wasn't he? There couldn't be any good intentions right now between them, right? It wasn't a good idea to feel whatever the hell she's been feeling around him lately... She had to ignore it. Couldn't be real.
Jay clenched his jaw and bit the end of his tounge, noticing Emma not even looking at him now and almost ignoring him. Fine then. He followed after Alex angry like, leaving her alone but you could see that it was really just hurt that crossed his face. Emma lifted her eyes when she heard the front door slam.
Emma couldn't help but to glance after Jay though as he left, and he snuck one more look at her over his shoulder before going.
Then, he was gone.
Emma looked down at her cup again, why did she feel a little disappointed that he left? She couldn't..like h-
"EMMMAAA" sang a drunk Toby. He stumbled and Emma put her hands on his chest, the other on his back, trying to keep him up and laughed.
"since when do you party hard Tobes?" she teased. Manny walked by and giggled.
Toby explained, "Since I had once sip and realized how much of a geek I am, then took more sips." He giggled and they both led him down the hall toward the stairs.
Emma looked at Manny and smirked, "You missed Sean saying sorry to ME, and asking if we were 'okay'" she said.
Manny snickered, "Tell that asshole you moved on!" with that she saw Spinner and skipped over to him, "Speaking of boys.."
"You can move on with me." Toby slurred to Emma who snickered at Manny and Toby both.
"Pass." Emma said as lightly as she could with a little smile. Emma shook her head and then yelped, almost dropping him until someone grabbed Toby's arm, putting it over their shoulder to help her carry him.
Sean.
Emma smiled over to him, "Thankyou." She breathed. Toby wasn't exactly light.
Sean just grinned with his dimples showing and guided Toby to the stairs, "need some water, party animal?" he joked. Toby just bent down and puked, Emma yelped jumping back and into Sean who happily caught her and rested his hands on her waist
Emma wrinkled her nose, "I think he needs some bread." She then noticed Sean's hands on her hips and coughed, stepping back to the side, and he coughed to then remove his hands.
Meanwhile, Paige went to grab some beer again out in the garage. As she stood at the fridge, she heard the door open again and turned. The killer Ghost face stood at the garage door, holding a bloody knife
Paige giggled, "Ouu, creepy. What movie is this? Die cheerleader die?" she eyed him, "Nice one JT." She said, she couldn't think of anyone else who would do something this silly. "Sequels are never good though and that killer costume is totally lame."
She went to walk over to open the door beside him but he blocked the door and she snickered.
"Cut it casper, that's a rap." She then gasped when he grabbed her wrist, taking his knife to it and she tried yanking her arm back. He slid the knife up her arm and dug as she whimpered and cried out. She pulled back as hard as she could and he let her go, making her fly to the ground. Paige crawled back in fear, holding her bleeding arm.
"HELP!" she yelled and looked around, no one could hear her because of the music in the party, she crawled up and ran to the fridge, opening it. The ghostface killer dodged the beers she threw and when she ran around him toward the door, it was locked. She then saw Spinner's doggy's door in the middle of the closed garage and ran to it before the killer swung the knife at her.
Paige screamed but he missed, and she went to the cats door, quickly sliding her head and arm through. The killer looked at the garage button, and pressed open.
"No, no, no!" she cried and tried to crawl through door. One more arm out! She tried to wiggle through but it was rizing too fast. Rick, as ghostface, watched as her body crushed when the garage couldn't hold her weight anymore, and smashed back down, cutting her in half. . That's for being such a god damn judgemental Bitch.
He went back into the house with a smirk.
