"Get lost," Sean said to Emma, who was trying to apologize for not being able to go out tonight because she had to look after Baby Jack.
"We're over!" Emma yelled stomping away.
"Okay Greenpeace thanks for making that clear. I was so confused," Jay taunted sarcastically.
Emma just glared at the whole group and walked away. Sean was stupid to start hanging out with Jay Hogart, his girlfriend Alex Nunez, and Towerz. Emma walked home without even looking at anyone.

The following day Emma stood at her locker to get her books. Jay walked up and leaned against the lockers next to hers, "So Greenpeace, Seany was at the ravine last night with Amy. He's totally over you."
"Whatever Jay," Emma said ignoring the smirk that made girls fall to their knees, literally.
She walked away to her class and Jay watched her go, he laughed to himself. Taunting Emma Nelson was so much fun.
He walked over to Sean, Amy, and Alex. "What the hell was that Jay?" Alex asked not really bothering to hide her jealousy. Sean glanced at the forever fighting couple then left for class.
"I was just tormenting Greenpeace," Jay said with a shrug.
"More like trying to reel in something new to destroy. Whatever Jay, I'm done with your stupid game. We're through and I mean it this time. Don't call me," Alex said dragging Amy and walking away.
"Oh no, I'm so heart broken," Jay called after Alex sarcastically.

Sean was walking to class when he ran into Emma, he mumbled sorry and continued walking.
"Sean," she called after him. He turned and walked over to her.
"What Emma?" Sean said in an angry tone.
"Sean, I know we had a dumb break up but I'd like to be friends?" Emma asked sounding hopeful.
"Yeah sure whatever," Sean mumbled and walked off. Classic Sean, never really said much.
Later that day Emma was protesting a the fact that the murals being painted in the hallways during school hours had toxic paint.
"Emma Nelson stop that right now!" Raditch said to her grabbing the papers from her hands. Her and Manny exchanged glances and headed towards the office.
"Girls, I said last time no more protesting. I meant what I said about Saturday detention. This Saturday, 8am, do not be late," Raditch said letting them out of his office.
They laughed it off, they had expected Saturday detention when they began the protest. It wasn't the first time and probably wasn't going to be the last.
The girls returned to their Friday afternoon classes and didn't even flinch about the detention.
On Saturday morning by 8:01am a group of trouble makers sat in the cafeteria. To the far left sat Sean and Jay at one table. A few tables to the right sat Hazel and Jimmy. In the back corner sat Toby all alone. In the opposing back corner sat Ellie Nash, Degrassi's resident goth.
Emma had heard she cuts, Emma wasn't one to believe rumors but she didn't doubt that Ellie was into self harm. Manny had not shown up to Saturday detention, so Emma sat in front alone at a table.
"No talking or walking. No chewing gum or eating until lunch. No MP3 players or Disc-man's. Silence, nothing else," Raditch said looking over everyone in he room. He left for his office and they all resumed conversations.
"Man, we should have done it. It would have been great," Jay said quietly thinking that Emma was out of earshot. She wasn't.
"Jay, stealing daddy's laptop may have been a great way for you to torment Emma but he's sick so it really isn't right," Sean said, if he and Emma were going to be friends then he couldn't be caught stealing Snake's new Alienware laptop. He eventually talked Jay out of it and they had left Snake's laptop alone.
"Dude, I know but still," Jay said glancing over at Emma. Emma was shocked about the conversation she had just heard. Jay was going to steal Snake's laptop. She really shouldn't have been shocked but she was.
"Real nice Jay," Emma called over getting up and going to leave the cafeteria.
"Shit, she heard you," Sean said shaking head. He knew better than to discuss this here.
"It's cool man, I'll talk to her," Jay said simply wanting to torment Greenpeace.
"What do you want Jay?" Emma said as she sat down in the staircase.
"I know what you think but you don't understand," Jay said sitting down next to her.
"Oh really? Because I heard I had to get my ass of an ex-boyfriend to talk you out of stealing a dying man's stuff," Emma said getting angry.
"Okay then you do understand," Jay said chuckling.
"Don't be an ass Jay, I could easily tell Raditch about that," Emma said with a glare.
"Oh no, Raditch. I'm so scared to end up here with you next weekend again," Jay said in a mock tone.
"Whatever," Emma said standing up. She had had about enough of this and was going back to the cafeteria. She'd much rather sit alone, then here in the stair case with Jay. Jay followed her back to the cafeteria with a smirk.
"Ah Mr. Hogart, convincing our better students to break the rules are we?" Mr. Raditch said strolling towards them.
"Mr. Raditch, I hardly think that Emma is a good student considering her Saturday detention," Jay said smugly.
"Mind your own business Jayson. Come on, let me escort you back to the cafeteria," Mr. Raditch said pointing down the hall to the cafeteria.
They entered the cafeteria and the group of them were running around and laughing together.
"Enough of this! Separate rooms for all!" Raditch yelled across the cafeteria.

Jimmy strolled casually down the hall. He had had enough of Raditch's crap. He knocked on the door to Hazel's classroom. "Hey Hazel, we're going for a walk. Everyone, come on."
They continued on grabbing Ellie, Toby, and Emma. "Can we not go get Sean and Jay?" Emma asked bitterly.
"I said everyone, and I meant it," Jimmy said opening the room where Sean was sent. He motioned for Sean to join them. He shrugged and followed behind the group.
"Emma, you go get Jay," Jimmy said pointing down the hallway at the door.
"No way in hell," Emma said crossing her arms over her chest.
Sean sighed, "Whatever I'll do it." He walked down the hall and opened the door, "Jay, let's go. We're going for a walk."
Jay shuffled out of the room and smirk, great one more chance to torment Greenpeace.
"Hey Greenpeace," Jay said coming up next to her, "You're looking hot today." He snickered and Sean shook his head. He continued down the hall after the others.
"Jay, shut up. I've had enough of your shit today," Emma said walking away from him.
"Where does this go?" Emma asked pointing at the elevator when the passed it in the basement.
"Oh that goes to the roof," Jay said with a shrug.
"Oh man, that's wicked. Let's go," Sean said enthusiastically. Once out of the elevator they climbed the ladder. Sean, followed by Ellie. The Jimmy after Hazel. Toby was next and Emma followed suit. Jay was last to climb the ladder.
Once on the roof Hazel and Jimmy took off alone. Sean and Ellie headed in another direction and Toby was too scared to move. He was afraid of heights.
Emma wandered off to the far side of the roof. It was nice, fresh air and totally relaxing. At least it was until Jay arrived.
"Hey Greenpeace, enjoying the outdoors?" Jay snickered.
"Can you not call me that?" Emma asked angry with him.
"Fine, Emma," Jay said with a small smirk. Jay would call her Emma for about 5 minutes then resume calling her Greenpeace, it suited her much better.
Emma spotted Snake at his car in the staff parking lot. He was removing a box from his trunk with a smile. Emma squealed.
"What is your problem?" Jay asked standing next to her.
"It's Simpson, he passed all his final check ups with flying colors. He's coming back to school, look," Emma said pointing at Snake strolling towards the school.
Meanwhile, Sean sat down next Ellie on the roof. "Hey," Sean clunked down next to Ellie.
Ellie looked up at him with a questioning gaze, "Um, hi?"
Sean laughed, "You mind if I join you?"
Ellie shrugged, and Sean sat down with her. She glanced at him for a moment, and realized that he was staring at her, "What do you want?"
Sean shrugged, "I don't know. You're kind of cute you know that?"
Ellie snickered, "Nice attempt to get some bad boy."
Sean shrugged, "I'm not interested in hooking up. You're different, and you don't seem scared of me."
"No, your far from scary. But you don't seem freaked by me either?" Ellie said beginning to realize Sean's defined muscles and great face.
"Nah," Sean said shaking his head. She ran a finger up to the bottom of her sleeve and pulled it down revealing her cuts.
She looked at him again, "How about now?" He didn't respond, he only glided his hands over the cuts and slide his fingers into hers.
Jay and Emma came running over, "Raditch, he knows we're up here."
"Shit," Sean said and the group raced back to the cafeteria.
They met Raditch in the hallway, everyone with guilty smiles he didn't say anything, but he sent them all home for the weekend anyways. Jay laughed silently to himself, Raditch only let us go because he had no idea how to control us anymore.
