It was the second day back at Degrassi and everyone was chatting away about their holiday events. Though Anya was mostly home all winter break, she had fun.
She spent most of her time with the new guy she met from the coffee shop down the block. He warmed Anya's heart everytime she thought about him. Every night, he would appear in her dreams and she would forget that he was never there. As Anya wrote more about their adventures, she thought about him more each and everyday.
When she got to school, there wasnt much she could say to anyone. Her holiday was special but not as special as the rest of the students. Anya thought who could she tell? Surely, the squad but who else? Telling Sav would be a waste of time because it would seem like she wanted him to be jealous even though they both lost their feelings for each other… She decided to just keep it personal to herself.
After three periods of boring subjects, Anya lost her focus on the overflowing assignments and thought abouthim again. She wished she could see him again but knew that wishes never come true.
As she was leaving for her fourth period, she saw a very familiar face. One that she saw for many weeks. Anya thought that it was just her brain fooling around but, as she walked past the guy with the familiar face, he said,
"Oh, Anya? Is that really you?"
Anya couldn't bear the curiosity in her mind. She turned around and faced him. She was shocked. She dropped all her books and stared blankly into his eyes. Anya shook her head clear, picked up her books and said, " uh… Yea. Jake? You go to Degrassi?"
" Oh well Anya, it's great to see you again!" Jake said as he gave Anya a hugemongous hug. They both smiled and laughed.
And just at the right second of the that day, Wesley walked in front of them and stared cluelessly. The last time Wesley saw Anya was when she went on a date with him. On Wesley's face, it was calm and normal but inside, his heart was beating on fire. Wesley couldnt stand who was basically cuddling with the girl of his dreams. He had to ask, " Uh.. Hey Anya! Who's this new friend?"
Before Anya could say a sound, Jake spoke. " Hi. I'm Jake. I think i can just introduce myself."
" Oh cool." said Wesley carelessly.
"Um.. Wesley it's not what you think it looks like! You should know that I just met him a few weeks ago."
" Well actually, I never thought about it that way." Wesley said as calm as he could while grinding his teeth. But that was a lie. Wesley knew that what Anya said probably was the truth. Sadly, he could not accept it. He loved Anya no matter how she felt about him. To prevent Anya from seeing the monstrous side of Wesley, he left quickly and went to class.
" I.. Uh.. I just gotta go!" She said to Jake before she walked rapidly down the hall. Anya didn't understand why she was feeling tears in her eyes but, she had to get to class anyways. She focused on her schoolwork and ignored this situation for the rest of the day.
When Anya got home, she ran to her bedroom and curled up into a ball on her bed, squeezing a pillow as hard as she could. She still did not understand why she was acting like this.
" Jake is just a new guy that I have feelings for. Then why is Wesley so important? I mean, yes he is sweet but we arent the right match." She thought.
Anya decided to doze off and sleep on this situation. She didnt want to deal with it the first day back at Degrassi.
