DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN DEGRASSI! IF I DID SEAN AND EMMA WOULD STILL BE TOGETHER!

The Cafeteria

Anya sat a table alone sketching in her sketch book when she somebody laughing the laugh was so familiar. She looked up from sketch to find Sav and Holly J sneaking into a classroom no doubt. Anya shook her head before getting up from her seat and leaving the cafeteria. Her ex boyfriend and ex best friend hooking up didn't make Anya too happy. She got up from her seat and collected her things and left.

The next day Anya sat in Mr. Parino's class like any other normal day when the door open and Principal Simpson entered asking for Mr. Parino to step out of the classroom. When Mr. Parino came back he was followed by Declan Coyne.

"Class I believe most of you remember Mr. Declan Coyne," said Mr. Parino. "Mr. Coyne take a seat next Miss. McPherson."

Declan nodded before taking a seat next to Anya. "Hey," whispered Declan.

"Hey," Anya smiled back.

"Okay today class you'll be partnered up with the person beside and you two will create a presentation of on a certain historical event for the history fair," said Mr. Parino.

"I guess we're partners," said Anya.

"I guess we are," said Declan.

Mr. Parino walked over to Declan and Anya with a bag, "Now you'll pick an event from this bag," said Mr. Parino holding up the bag to Declan and Anya.

"Anya how about you pick," said Declan.

"Okay," said Anya she stuck her hand into the bag and took a small folded piece of paper. She unfolded the paper and read it, "The sinking of the titanic."

"Good luck you too," said Mr. Parino as we walked to other groups with the bag and they picked out their events.

"So what do you want to do for our presentation?" asked Declan.

"Well we could make a replica of the titanic and then have a tri fold poster and put all our information on that," said Anya.

"That's a good idea and for even more credit I can see if we can get some actual artifacts from it as well," said Declan.

"How would we be able to do that?" asked Anya.

"I'm rich remember," said Declan.

"Oh yeah I completely forgot," said Anya.

"That's funny, normally people only remember me being rich," said Declan.

"Well I'm not just any person," smiled Anya.

"No you're not," Declan smiled back. Anya felt her cheeks getting red. All of sudden the bell rang and class was over.

Declan and Anya walked out of the class together, "so you want to meet after school or something?" asked Anya.

"For what?" asked Declan.

"Umm our project," said Anya.

"Oh yeah that sure why not," said Declan.

"Alright meet me in the library three o'clock sharp," said Anya.

"You got it," said Declan.

"Alright well see you then," said Anya as she held her books to her chest.

"See you then," said Declan. They both went their separate ways down the hallway.

The Cafeteria

Anya sat at her usual table with her power squad friends moving her fork around her plate. "Hey Anya what's wrong?" asked Jenna.

"Oh nothing my mom just called saying their running some more tests today," said Anya.

"I'm sorry to hear about that," said Jenna.

"Yeah well the doctors want to see if the last round of chemo worked," said Anya.

"Well I hope your mom will be okay," said Jenna.

"Thanks Jenna," Anya said with a slight smile.

The Library

Anya walked into the library and found Sav and Holly J sitting at one of the tables holding hands Holly J giggled at something Sav had said. Anya rolled her eyes as she passed them heading to the back of the library so she wouldn't have to watch them and she was sure Declan wouldn't want to see them together either.

Anya went over to one of the library computers and typed in Titanic, a list of books came up on the screen Anya printed out the list before searching around the library for the books. Once she had collected a good seven to eight books she found a table in the very back corner of the library, she took a seat placing her bag on the floor and the books on the table. She pulled out her laptop she had gotten for Christmas, a notebook, and a pen.

She took one of the books from the stack and started flipping through the pages jotting down some notes.

Declan walked into the library noticing Sav and Holly J. Declan rolled his eyes as Sav and Holly J kissed. Declan started to walk towards where he saw Anya when he heard Holly J speak.

"Declan?" she said.

Declan turned around and faced her, "Hello Holly J," said Declan.

"What are you doing here and if it is for trying to win me back again like last time it isn't going to happen just an FYI?" she asked. Sav wrapped his arm around her so he could make it known that Holly J was his.

"Actually HJ my mother asked to go back to Degrassi for Fiona," said Declan.

"But Fiona is fine," said Holly J.

"Yeah well my mom wanted me to keep an eye on her and I don't disobey my mother I've already done that once and it didn't end well," said Declan a bit too harsh. Holly just looked at him stunned, "now if you would excuse me I have to get to my partner we're working on a project together."

Declan walked off towards Anya. "Hey," said Anya looking up from her book.

"Hey sorry I'm like a minute late somebody over there stopped me," said Declan taking a seat beside her.

"Trust me you learned to ignore them after awhile," said Anya.

"Oh yeah I forgot you dated Sav," said Declan.

"Yeah and I wasted most of my high school time being off and on again with him I don't even remember why I liked him in the first place," said Anya.

"I feel your pain," said Declan taking out his own laptop," so I see you have already started without me."

"What can I say I'm an overachiever," smiled Anya.

"Same here one of the reasons I'm going to Yale," Declan smiled back.

"No way," said Anya.

"No way what?" asked Declan.

"I got into Yale," said Anya, "but I'm not going."

"Why not?" asked Declan.

"Well my mom… she's sick," said Anya.

"I'm sorry to hear that," said Declan.

"It's okay I mean it would have been nice to go to Yale, but it's too much money right now especially with my mom's medical bills and all," said Anya.

"What about scholarships?" asked Declan.

"I've looked into them, but I mean I don't think I could be too far from my mom with her being sick and all," said Anya," enough about my problems we should probably work on our project."

Declan nodded and they got to work.
