Just incase you were thinking it, no I do not own Degrassi, any of it's characters, or ideas, I do however own all exclusive records of Craig and Jay's steamy romance, no, i'm not sharing. Get over it. Also, i unfortunaetly do not own Fall Out Boy, or their song "Sugar, We're Going Down." Can I borrow a few thousand for royalties?

Craig peered around the room rapidly tapping his pencil eraser on his math book. His doctor had recently prescribed him new medicine and it was seriously affecting his attention span but he didn't care. He liked to space out. When he snapped back to reality, everything looked, sounded like, and felt like a movie. Like he could kill someone, wake up the next day and watch them eat breakfast.

Paige looked up from her work to glance at Craig, "Are you sure he's okay?" she asked whispering to Marco not taking her eyes off of Craig.

"Hmm, yeah…100 sure." Marco said working diligently.

"Marco…" Paige whispered a bit louder.

"Hmm?" He asked again tilting his head towards her.

"Do you have a sports bra I could borrow for gym?" Paige asked knowing his reply.

"Mmhmm." He replied biting his bottom lip.

She giggled, "Where is it?" She asked trying to sound needy.

"Huh? Where's what?" He asked looking up at her puzzled.

"You're such a loser." Paige said smirking.

"What did I do?" Marco asked slightly offended.

She shook off his question and turned her attention to Craig, "Is he, still taking his medicine?"

Marco look at Paige puzzled for a moment. "Oh. Um, yeah…"

"You sure?" Paige asked.

"Why do you care?" Marco asked not wanting to jump to conclusions.

"No reason…really, I just, you know…wondered." Paige said looking back to her pencil.

"Curiosity killed the cat." Marco said nonchalantly going back to his work.

The bell rang and brought Craig out of his trance, he rushed for the door hoping Ashley would be there. Craig sprinted for the door and ram straight Jay Hogart into the door frame. 'Crap.' He though to himself.

"Watch it fag!" Jay exclaimed wanting to rub his aching arm but trying to maintain his bad-ass image.

"S-Sorry." Craig said not even able to look at him.

"God you're such a loser." Jay said walking out of the door.

Craig sighed and walked out of the door slowly, he walked past the next door and Jay grabbed his shoulder pulling him into the janitors closet.

"I said, 'God you're such a loser'" Jay sad pinning Craig to the wall.

"What the hell man I heard you!" Craig said struggling to break loose from Jay's grip. He was truly confused, since when was he the geek who gets his ass kicked in the hallway closet.

Jay looked right into Craig's eyes hoping to instill fear into him. "Wrong Answer." Jay readied himself to clock Craig, he slowly let his arm fall seeing the fear amongst him.

Craig had closed him eyes as Jay spoke, when nothing happened he opened his eyes and felt something warm fall down his face. 'This is not happening. I am not crying in front of him…'

"Quit your ing," Jay said leaning up against the opposite wall, "I'm not going to hit you." The bell rang but they both ignored it.

Without thinking Craig bolted for the doorknob but Jay got a hold of it before him. "You're not as tough as I thought you were."

Craig retreated his hand and stared directly ahead of him blinding by the darkness of the room. The light from the crack in the door wasn't enough to see where Jay was.

Jay reached up for a string to pull to illuminate the room.

Craig slid down to the floor with a distinct pout on his face as he stared at the floor.

Jay stared intently at Craig noticing his facial expression, it was the same one Alex did that drove him crazy. "You gonna say something?" He said sliding down next to him.

Craig swallowed before replaying "Like what?" Craig had the perfect chance to leave, he'd no idea why either of them stayed in that room.

Jay didn't reply he just looked up at the light. "What class are you skipping?"

"Gym." Craig said flatly.

"Kwan."

"Lucky you."

"Tell me about it." Jay said looking at Craig, "So, you and that Kerwin chick."

"Yeah?" Craig asked sourly.

"You dumped her for a grade nine right?" Jay asked ashamed to know that much about someone he barely knew.

"No…not exactly…look, that was last year. I'm over it. She's over it. They both are." He said looking at Jay then turning around.

There was an awkward silence, "So why's she all over the cripple?" He asked smugly.

Craig turned to Jay and pushed him against the wall "We are not going to go there!" He said close to Jays face.

Jay felt Craig's breath against his face, it smelled a lot like Alex's breath mints.

Craig didn't move and didn't loosen his grip on Jay's shirt. He slowly leaned in and paused to think about what he was doing, but before he knew it Jay's lips were upon his and they were doing it. Kissing. The kiss lasted for about a minute, when it broke they were speechless. There was literally no way to explain what had just happen.

Craig let go of his shirt stood up and brushed the back of his pants, "I..I gotta go."

"…And just how do you explain to Armstrong how you managed to show up to his first class, and miss the first 20 minutes of second hour?" Jay asked.

Craig sat back down next to Jay. There was a bit of silence. "I wasn't…I wasn't going to kiss you, you know."

"That doesn't change much, now does it bam bam?" Jay said smirking.

Craig looked at him getting angry, "How in the hell can you act like that after what just happened?"

"You think I let Greenpeace blow me for no reason?"

"And that answers my question, how?"

"I'm tired of your everyday slutty bad girl. I needed something new." Jay said taking a sudden interest in the big broom in front of him.

"Seems to me you're tired of girls period." Craig said lightening up.

"Yeah well…you're not the first." Jay said directing his attention to some random cleaning supplies.

"You mean y-"

"Don't wanna talk about it." Jay said cutting him off. He got up to open the door and twisted the knob hard. "Damnit!"

"What?"

"Doors locked."

"Um…no worries, I'll just call Marco and he'll-"

"And how exactly do we explain to fairy-boy why we're trapped in a closet?" Jay said cutting him off again.

"When exactly do you plan to let me finish my statement?" Craig said a little annoyed. "As I was saying, he'll open the door, I'll step out, go to the water fountain or something until he leaves. I open the door, and voila."

Jay rolled his eyes and sat back down.

Craig reached into his pocket for his cell and began dialing the number, "that's just wonderful." He said.

"What now genius?"

"Went straight to the answering machine. Phones off."

"Great."
Craig sat back down next to Jay. He had his legs laid out and his hands on his head, Craig took the opportunity to lay in his lap.

Jay looked down and stroked his hair. "Where'd you learn to kiss like that?" he asked wondering.

"Your mom." Craig said jokingly.

Jay laughed, "I bet. Boyfriend of the month, eh?" Jay said scratching behind Craig's ear.

"Not exactly." Craig closed his eyes and smiled. "I can get used to this." Craig said as a smile swept across Jay's face.
