"Thanks Elle I really needed this,"

Marco said as he held the door open to let Ellie into The Dot.

"Well it's the least I could do after all the crap you've had to put up with from Dylan. I just wanted to see you happy again," She said with a smile.

They walked up to the counter to order their drinks then sat down at a table in the back.

"So how are you holding up?" She asked gently.

"I'm okay," he looked away from her, "I'm just shocked that Dylan could do this to me again. I can't believe that after all the drama we went through last year he could just play with my feelings like that. I guess it's for the best though, maybe now I can try to focus on something else other than him for awhile."

As Marco spoke those words Tim walked into The Dot. Ellie noticed him first.

"I think that something else just walked through the door." She watched Tim walk over to the counter to order something. Marco turned around to look. He looked back at her, surprised. "Tim? No way. After the way I treated him last year there's no way he'll ever want to-"

Marco was interrupted by the sound of Tim's voice.

"Hi Marco". Tim said.

"Hi" Marco said nervously.

Tim looked at Ellie. "Hi. You're Ellie, right?"

"Yes. It's nice to see you again." She said. A long pause ensued with Tim and Marco blankly staring at each other.

"Well look at the time, I have to go study for my Lit test. See you guys later!" She said as she grabed her stuff and rushed out the door.

Tim was still standing over Marco. "Have a seat," Marco said tentatively.

"So how have you been?" Tim asked.

"Good, University has been a really big change from the drama-filled halls of Degrassi. You?"

"I've been okay trying to get through my last year. I applied to Toronto U. I haven't gotten word back yet though."

"You'd love it there; it's got plenty to offer."

They sat there for over an hour talking, laughing and reminiscing. Finally, Tim asked brought up Marco's relationship.

"So how are you and Dylan doing these days?" Tim asked.

"Not so good. He decided to go to Europe and when he did we started talking less and less and that's when I figured out that it was over."

"That's too bad" Tim said.

There was a pause for a moment then Marco spoke.

"Tim, I've had a really good time catching up with you today. I was wondering if-"

Marco was cut off by the sound of another guy's voice.

"Tim!"

Marco looked around to see who was calling Tim's name. A gorgeous blonde was heading towards them.

"Hey!" Tim greeted the blonde with a dazzling smile.

When the blonde got to the table, Tim stood up and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

"Marco, I would like you to meet my boyfriend Justin. Justin, this is my friend Marco."

"Hey," Justin said, sitting down next to Tim.

Marco looked at the two of them in shock.

"Hi," Marco said weakly.
