It was an average day at Degrassi High. Joey had gotten into trouble yet again for smoking mad weed on campus with Wheels (just kidding, he tried to grind his skateboard down the bannister in the stairwell and he fell down the stairs, falling onto Mr. Radditch). He was just rushing out of Radditch's office with a punishment of two detentions when he ran into Caitlin. "Hey baby, you're looking quite fine today. Wanna skip study hall and, uh, lock tongue?", he said while licking his finger and moving it across his forehead, rubbing his spit on it in the process. "Ugh. I told you to stop calling me that, especially since we broke up, like, a week ago. Now, if you excuse me, I have to talk to Claude about important things, like the environment and avant garde theatre."
Joey looked at her in disgust, with the spit glistening on his forehead, as she walked away from him towards Claude. When she reached him, they hugged and shared a quick kiss. "So, m'lady, is that rapscallion Joseph causing you any upset? If he is, I will put a note in his locker explaining how you feel about these unwanted advances, and if that does not work, I will honorably defend you with fisticuffs.", he said as he kneeled on one knee before her. "Oh, Claude, you're so bold!" Caitlin cooed. Joey scoffed and said to himself, "Fucking sap. I'll show him at the open house tonight. There's going to be a performing arts hour and Wheels, Snake and I are going to blow him away with our performance as THE ZITS!" He started singing "Everybody Wants Something" to himself as Snake and Wheels walked up to him. "Hey Joey, you excited for our performance?" "Hell, yeah! I'm finally going to show Claude not to fuck with Joey Jeremiah!" "What's with the language?" Snake asked. "You usually don't use such words, and, frankly, I don't approve." "Oh, shut up, Snake!" said Wheels, "What are you, a prude like your brother?" "You better watch it, man!" Snake growled. "Guys, guys, relax!" Joey said. "None of this is important! What's important is that we succeed tonight, as this can be our shot at the big gigs!" "Yeah, man! We're going to be stars!" Wheels said. Snake rolled his eyes at the stupidity of Wheels and Joey, but followed along with hyping the group up. The bell rang, and they went their separate ways to their individual classes.
