Author's Note: Hey people. This is my first Degrassi Fanfic for this site. It might be a oneshot if no one reviews, or a twoshot if I have no more ideas. Anyway, it's told in Emma's point of view, and takes place ten years after her graduation. It's slightly AU, I guess. If you like it, please read and review, because my stories on fictionpress tend to get no reviews, so maybe if I write fanfics people will actually comment on my writing...

Chapter One: Bad Education

Ten years had passed. Ten whole years. I tried to remember some details of my life in high school, but most of it was a constant blur. I remembered Sean – of course I remembered Sean – and I remembered Manny, who was still my best friend. I remembered Liberty, who I thankfully hadn't seen since graduation. And for some reason, I still remembered Jay Hogart.

The ravine was a one-time thing, and we never shared an intimate relationship after that, like I had hoped we would. We went our separate ways. Strangely, I still thought about him pretty frequently.

I knew Sean had joined the army. And he had never contacted me after that. I didn't know where he was living, or how he was doing, and I sure didn't know if he was coming to the Degrassi Reunion that night.

My stepfather, Snake, had come up with the idea of a Degrassi Reunion when I was over for dinner one night. My apartment got lonely after work, so I often stopped by my old house to have dinner with him and my mom. He was taking a bite of tofurkey when the idea came to him. The idea that Degrassi should have a reunion for all classes that had been gone for ten to fifteen years. That included my class, which had been gone exactly ten years, and a few classes before mine. I thought it was a great idea, so Snake pitched it to Hatzilakos and she agreed. The reunion was on.

I had bought a gorgeous dress for the occasion, and it had cost me a good amount of money. Not that I was especially poor, like Sean had been, but I wasn't exactly Donald Trump, if you know what I mean. The dress was thigh-length, black, low-cut, and…well, hot. I wanted to make my former classmates angry that they had called me all sorts of names in high school for protesting for things I believed in. And now, at twenty-eight, I was a new woman.

I arrived at Degrassi that night to stares. People gave me incredulous looks. Looks that said, "Is that…Emma Nelson?!" I liked it. I wanted people to wonder about me.

With Manny by my side, giggling as always, I entered the gym. People were milling around and laughing, sharing stories of the stupid things they had done in high school, back when they thought they were invincible.

Manny ran over to Liberty, who I did not care to talk to, so I wandered over to the punch bowl aimlessly. I didn't even like punch, I just wanted a place to settle.

A voice flew into my ear, suddenly. "Emma?"

I turned around to face whoever the voice was coming from, and my heart dropped. It was Sean. Sean Cameron, the love of my life, the boy who had abandoned me. I didn't know whether to be angry or overjoyed. I chose overjoyed.

"Sean!" I screamed, probably disturbing the peace, and threw my arms around his neck. "Where the hell have you been? You never tried to call me…or write me…or anything, after the army!"

He looked down at the newly-waxed floor and avoided my gaze. "Don't think Jay didn't tell me, Emma."

Now I was as confused as ever. Jay? What could Jay possibly tell him about me? "Um, Sean…what are you talking about?"

"Jay told me about how you two dated. And how you had the abortion. So that's why I never called. You can't just get pregnant with my best friend's kid and expect me to come crying back."

I was in shock. Pregnant? Abortion? Jay?! What a liar. Jay had LIED to Sean about me. "Sean, that's not true! That's a complete lie! I never dated Jay…I never even saw him after he graduated. Why would he tell you that?"

I knew Sean believed me by the look of realization in his eyes. Jay was a natural-born liar, and everyone knew it. Me, well, I lied sometimes, but I wouldn't lie about something as serious as this, especially not to Sean. "I'm so sorry, Emma, I never should have believed hi-"

He was cut off by the arrival of a woman. Her shiny red hair was perfect, and she was beautiful. Ellie Nash.

"Sean, I've been looking for you…I went to go talk to Ashley. Oh, hi Emma." She smiled and waved at me, then took Sean's hand. "Did I interrupt anything?"

My heart dropped again, but this time for a different reason. Sean and Ellie were together? I knew I shouldn't still have these feelings for my ex-boyfriend, but he had been the love of my life at one point. And Ellie just didn't complete him like I could have done.

Author's Note: Remember, read and review and I will love you forever. If you have any suggestions on how to improve the story, I'm here to listen, although I probably won't change what I think is going to happen. I'll update every few days, because I rarely get to use my computer alone, so yeah. R&R.
