Emma awoke with her alarm clock screaming in her ear. She didn't know what to expect her senior year at Degrassi. She had spent the summer with Manny, JT, Liberty, and Toby. She had dodged Jay and did her best to avoid Sean. "Well I guess I have to get up eventually." Emma whined. She got up and took a shower. Got into jean mini skirt and a green Abercrombie polo. She applied a pink colored lip stick and mascara. She pulled her hair up into a pony tail brushed her bangs and headed out the door.

Emma pulled her green beetle volkswagen into the Degrassi parking lot. She grabbed her L.L. Bean and headed towards the door. She spotted Jay coming out of his bright orange Honda civic. She had tried to avoid him since her "ravine incident". Jay just stared at her as she walked up the steps. She could feel his eyes on her. She turned around to glance at him. His bright blue eyes were still fixated on her. They stared at each other for a few seconds until Manny caught their eyes locked on each other.

Manny walked over to Emma and grabbed her arm pulling her into the school "Hey Emma! OMGOODNESS! You should have stayed at the party a few days ago the guys just got yummier and yummier." Manny laughed at herself and Emma pretended to laugh with her but she kept thinking about Jay. Emma thought to herself, "Why was he staring at me like that? He's been so weird after the ravine. I can understand why. I guess. Whatever." Manny ran off to her boyfriend Chester leaving Emma alone walking to her locker.

Emma walked into the MI lab wanting to be alone. She logged on the computer and was glad to be alone. She checked and replied to some e-mails from her old and new friends. Emma had recently become friends with Paige and her followers. She heard the door open. "Who is that?" Emma wondered. Someone sat at the computer next to her, she glanced over. It was Jay.

"What are you doing here?" Emma eyed Jay.

"I'm getting some work done. I have to look up the cost of some parts." Jay said lying to her, staring straight at his computer. He really just wanted to be near her. He couldn't stop thinking about her ever since the ravine. Him and Alex were over. He was actually hanging with real people who actually know how to socialize. He had made a lot of friends and pulled away from Alex, Amy and Towerz.

"Your actually gonna pay for them?" Emma joked.

"Thinking about it." Jay laughed.

The rest of the class started filing in. Emma and Jay stayed seated but got quiet. JT walked up and sat with Emma he attempted to whisper but JT was still not very good at keeping a low voice. "What are you doing sitting with freak show?" JT eyed Jay who turned and gave him and evil stare. Emma saw the scared look on JT's face and looked at Jay. She laughed at the "angry" look on his face. Emma wasn't afraid of Jay she couldn't help but laugh at his angry impression.

"Why are you laughing? He's gonna kill me. " JT managed to gulp out. Emma giggled. "JT, if there is one thing I am sure of its that I could never be afraid of Jay Hogart."

Jay eyed Emma. "Damn that's hot. Wait what are you saying? I got it for Emma don't I! That's messed. This is Miss-Emma-Green peace-Nelson were talking about!" Jay thought to himself. "Your not scared of me?" Jay turned to Emma. "Why should I be your like a teddy bear wrapped up in a big badass costume. I've seen you out of school Hogart. I know you volunteer every chance you get and enjoy it." Emma laughed half-heartedly. "You been spying on me Nelson?" Jay smirked.

Just then Mr. Simpson's sub walked in. He was a tall mix between Shane West and Orlando Bloom. Every girl in the room dropped their mouth including Emma. Jay looked over at him, not impressed. "I'm way hotter than him." Jay joked expecting Emma to laugh. He looked over and saw her mouth hanging open staring at the teacher. "Why does she like him? What does he have that I don't." Jay stopped himself from thinking that and gently smacked her chin pulling her upper and lower jaws together. "Oh sorry Jay!" Emma blushed then turned her attention back to the sub.

"My name is Mr.-" He cut himself off, "Just call me Mr. Joey. Okay lets get started." Mr. Joey said in a sexy deep voice. No girl can resist a deep soft voice. Especially not Emma Nelson.
