Hi,I had an old screen name before but since then i realized that i was trying too hard to go for plot and not enough time
trying to explain the character fully.Like adding thoughts.So i will try my hardest,and if u have advice(kind advice i hope)
tell feel free to let me know,or if you like the story and want to review please do! Alright i hope you enjoy
and please review.It's based on a movie which I think is really good called thirteen.But it's not like exactly like that.Also will have sub plots.
Summary:Manny finally got her life back together,friends with Craig even..but when a new girl comes will she
take her back to the life that she just recovered?Or even worse?Ashley comes back from London..and not sure of the relationship
rated:pg-13 for violence,drug use,breif sex,language,situations involving teens
Disclaimer:I do not own Degrassi
warnings:in future chapters there may be a scene not meant for younger audience which i will change the ratings
a/n:even if i dont get that much reviews i will continue to update because I really fell in love with the plot and
i think this teaches us a lesson to always choose the right friends and learn to say no.
Long Chapter
One lesson that we learn in life is that some promises are meant to be broken.And the word promise is overated.It's a trust word.But how can you be sure when you make a promise to that person later the trust will still be there?It won't;most likely.Like when you were little you had a best friend but as time changes so do you and it's nothing you can control you grow apart.Then that trust you had before is gone...Sometimes you can control how you change.Then if you can that means it's up to you weither you want the trust but if you have to think about it then was the trust ever there?
Chapter 1:The Start of the End
The pale moonlight gently touched the houses like a mothers hand to her child's face.The city seemed so quiet yet like
anything could happen and you knew it would.As we look through a window we can see two girls.
Then a car pulls up and the blinding lights fade as the car turns off.
"They're comming!"Roxy shouted facing Manny.
"What?"Manny asked still shocked.
"What the hell you said-"
"I know what I said!"Manny yelled.
"Well we're gonna get caught!"Roxy panicked.She walked around the room and started picking things up.
"Do we flush em' ?"Manny asked.Roxy looked and was about to protest when they heard footsteps.
"Manuella!We're home."Her mother said as she walked upstairs.She heard whispers,as she opened the door knob.
Three months earlier...
Manny rolled over on the bed.She sighed and she sat up and yawned.As she opened her eyes the light had hit her eyes.
"Ow!"Manny hissed in pain.As she rubbed her sore eyes.She then opened her eyes slowly looking down.manny looked around and leaned on the
end of the bed.She looked over and saw her best friend Emma sleeping on a sleeping bag.
"Wake up."Manny whispered.
Emma grabbed the sleeping bag and pulled it over her head."Less talk more sleep."Emma groaned.
Manny POV
Man she's lazy.Oh well I was too until the sun burned my eyes.I looked around me and saw Emma's room.This room had so many memories for me.It reminds me when I was helping Emma pack to move down to the basement.As we looked at all her old things.We had laughs.Memories like those I cherish and am grateful i can remember.
Others...on the other hand...aren't so good.
I remember almost two years ago I snuk here with Craig after a Rave.We were going to do it since we have done it before but thankfully Emma caught us.That lead to more drama.
I stepped off her bed and kneeled down to where Emma was now snorring.
"Emma we need to get up!"I said as I shook her furiously."Emma first day of eleventh grade!"
Emma then shot up like the way a bullet just fires from a gun.I was startled as I fell back.
"I soo forgot!"Emma said nervously.
"Umm yeah because you usually are waking me up."I laughed.
Emma forced a smile but I could tell she was more focused on school.
"What time is it?"She asked while getting up and folding her sleeping bag.
"Well it's...6:55 a.m"I replied looking at her green alarm clock.
"We have five minutes to talk."Emma giggled.
"Talk..yeah we need to."I said.
I sat on the bed and so did she.
"Thanks for letting me sleepover my mom and dad are always out of town it's annoying."I thanked her.I then let my hair down.
"No problem..it's just I don't want to repeat last year."Emma sighed.
Last year wasn't as eventful for me as it was for Emma.She and Jay had thier thing and well ever since people now judged her as they judge me.I'm last years news.In a way I am sooo glad.I couldn't stand being the center of attention for something bad.But one bad thing about me is that I needed attention.Like I did with Craig,I craved it.But that was then and this is now.
"It won't promise!"I said hugging Emma.
She then sighed heaviliy."We won't know that."
"Well we will try to make it less drama."I said trying to lighten the mood.
Right and you promise even though-this sounds corny but-promise that we will be best friends."Emma said.
"Promise."I said hugging her.
No One's POV
Emma got ready.She put a maroon tank top with some jean pants.She had a jean jacket on top.Her hair was in a bun,the bangs she had gently came on her forehead.She applied lip gloss that had little pink in it but not too much.Emma put some black shoes on and went into the kitchen.
"Morning mom,where's dad?"Emma asked.
"Oh morning sweety your father is at Degrassi preparing his lesson."Spike said.She was just preparing the breakfeast and setting it on the table.
Emma sat down and looked around.
"Mom?Where's Jack?"Emma asked.
"Oh he's in the crib in the living room."Spike replied giving Emma Bacon and Eggs."I need to get things done in here."she smiled.
"Well it's undertsandable."Emma laughed.
Then they heard footsteps and saw Manny.
She had some tight jean pants and a black tight tank top.Her hair was down and straight and she had some sunglasses in her hair.Manny had hooped earings and some sandle/high heel shoe.Her make up was just lip gloss and mascara.
"Hey!Good morning!"Manny smiled.
"Morning Manny want some breakfeast?"Spike asked.
"You don't even have to ask!"Manny chirped.She sat down and Spike served her."Thank you Spike!"
"My pleasure."Spike said.She started to wash the pans."Emma i'm not going to be home until nine and your father is comming home at eight so-"
"So you want me to baby sit Jack?"Emma finished her sentence while swallowing her eggs.
"Yes,i'm sorry."Spike said appologetic.
"No problem mom,I mean i'm gonna be swamped with homework."Emma groaned.
"Haha to be young again."Spike sighed.She then looked at Manny."Oh are you comming over?"
"Um if it's okay.."Manny said cautiously because she was embaressed.
"Manny I consider you like a second daughter,of course you can I mean you can stay until your parents come back."Spike said now sitting down at the table with the girls.
"Thanks Spike it means a lot to me,and i'll help baby sit Jack and even do chores!"manny suggested.
"You can do mine!"Emma laughed.
"Emma!"Spike playfully tickled her."Well you two better get going."
"Right."Manny said clearing the table.
"Bye girls."Spike said hugging them both.
The two girls stepped outside.
"Hot outfit."Emma said.
Manny turned around and posed."I know,just kidding thanks and you look cool and casual."
"Thanks."Emma smiled.
"So are we going to meet J.T?"Manny asked.
"Um yeah I think..."Emma said trying to peek around the corner to see if he was there.
"Or maybe he's too busy with Liberty."Manny grumbled.
"What?"Emma asked stopping.
Manny turned back at her."Um what?"
"You grumbled!"Emma teased.
"No I didn't!You are really crazy."Manny defended herself.
"Admit it."Emma said pointing at manny's heart.
"Look,he's with Liberty,Craig and Ash are blah and Spinner is...I don't know ,all I know is that i'm not meant for a boyfriend."Manny sighed.
"Well hello I have an STD and you don't see me all moppy over guys."Emma said.
"I know i'm sorry..I forgot."Manny said with a bit of guilt in her voice.
"It's okay..let's just go to school."Emma said.They were about to cross the street when all of a sudden a car pulled in front of them causing both girls to jump.
"Okay stange car pulling up in front of sixteen year old girls..."Manny said tensly.
"Hold on a sec.."Emma said.She then smiled."It's Liberty's car."
"You like?"Liberty asked.She had a white shirt with marron pants.Her hair was in two pig tail braids.She had a maroon clip.
"Wow it's cool."Emma said.
"Eh it has a dent but it will get us to the beach durring spring break!"Manny excalimed trying to hold in the rest of her excitment.
"Oh,"Liberty said looking at the dent."Well true."
Then the passenger seat door opened.
"Hey girls."J.T said.He had a grey shirt with jean pants that had rips on them.His hair was a darker shade of brown.He had some grey and red vans.He had grown taller over the summer but was still shorter than Craig.
"Wow your hair!"Manny said in disbelife and before she knew it she was in front of him touching it.
Liberty grunted."Um yeah..Manny I know it feels the same."
"Sorry it looks great."Manny said.
"Thanks and no need to apologize,you look hot as always."J.T laughed.
"So you two-"
"Yes Emma we're still together."Liberty said.
Emma rolled her eyes."Well you can park your car we have to walk to the front of the school."
"See ya."Manny said.
Emma and manny then stopped in front of the school as Liberty and J.T got in the car.
"So grade eleven..what drama awaits us this year?"Emma asked.
"A lot."said a voice.
They both turned and saw Darcy and Chantel.
"Oh hi!"
They did their greetings and walked up the stairs.
Paige was walking along with Hazel.Jimmy was rolling on his wheelchair next to Hazel.
"Grade twelve what a year."Paige said looking around at the kids surrounding her.She had an aqua long sleaved shirt with some jeans and a matching aqua belt.Her hair was up in a pony tail and she had little silver earings and some bage shoes.Paige's make up was mascara and lipgloss.
"Our last."Hazel said with a pouty face.She had a pink shirt that said baby phat.She had some matching jeans and some baby phat shoes.Her hair was down and she had lipgloss and light pink eyeshadow.
"Aww Hazel don't be sad."Jimmy said as he looked up at her.He then closed his eyes and Hazel bent down for a kiss.
"I'm not."
"God why won't he answer his phone?"Paige asked.
"Well hello you guys got into a huge fight over the summer."Hazel said.
"Yeah..when you fight you seem to ignore each other."Jimmy laughed.He had his TS5 outfit except it was dark blue.He had his jordans on.
Manny then stepped in front of them.
"Hey guys how was your summer?"Manny asked.
"Um the most horrible in my life!"Paige grumbled."Hate summers."
"Excuse Hazel she's angry because she and her boyfriend got into a fight.Well mine went well we went,me and Jimmy,to thearpy everyday for his legs,and spend every day together almost."Hazel said.
"Yeah and I loved it."Jimmy said.
"Wow that's great I just stood at Emma's like 95 of the time since my parents are always gone now,and we just went shopping and to the beach and I learned how to surf a little..alright I suck."Manny laughed.
Paige seemed to snap out of her world of anger as her expressions changed so quickly it looked fake.
"Um hon,you had the house to yourself and you didn't throw a party?"Paige asked.
"Um well no,I know it was like the thing to do but I wanna stay clear of trouble and loose my reputation as the school tramp."Manny said looking not into Paige's eyes while talking.She knew if she did then she would start to feel stupid.
"Well I guess you are changing well we are holding auditions for fresh new girls this year and congrats Manny you are the captin of the cheer squad next year,well we are gonna be in the aud durring practice so be there."Paige said.She then walked away.
Hazel smiled as she walked by.
"Bye Manny."Jimmy said.
"Bye."
She then was on her way to homeroom.She pulled a small present from her backpack.
Craig angrily walked up the stairs of Degrassi.Then someone tapped his shoulder.
"What!"He yelled,turning around.He then saw Marco.Marco had a confused look on his face.Marco's outfit was an army green long sleaved shirt with a matching hait.He had jeans and some brown shoes.
Craig however had a white and blue top with his pants.His hair was straight but you can tell it wasn't naturally because the tips were getting curled.He had his converse on and his gutiar by his side.
"Sorry Marco it's just this whole thing with Ash and I feel..."
"Angry?"Marco finished.
"Well yeah but more frustatred.."Craig said as his leaned his back to the lockers looking up towards the ceiling.
"It's cool and well so are you and Ash still together?"Marco asked.
"How am I suppose to know."Craig asked he added a little laugh.
"I don't know because maybe you're the one in the relationship?"Marco asked with a smile.
"Shut up man."Craig said slowly as if he was out of it.
"Dude come on it will get better oh and Happy birthday."Marco said handing him a small package.
"Thanks dude."Craig said.
He got the package and opened and inisde was a gift certifacate to Gutiar World for 50.
"Dude aww man you didn't have to thanks."Craig said sheepishly.
"Well going to homeroom."Marco sighed.
"Oh um yeah i'll be there in a sec just lemme finish getting my stuff ready."Craig said.
"Alright."Marco said.
As Craig opened the locker he heard small footsteps.
"Ash?"Craig asked as he closed the locker but to his dissapointment he saw Manny.
"Oh hey."Craig said cautiously.
"Look I know things aren't good between us but-"
Craig gave her a confused look and was about to speak but Manny continued.
"But as friends Craig..,look it's just I just wanna start off the school year good and no drama and
well I thought I should start off by saying Happy Birthday and to give you this."Manny finished.
"Uh..um..T-thanks..Manny..I want to start the school year off too no drama and well thanks again."Craig said.
"Well the bell rang so I gotaa um.."
"Yeah so um see you later?"Craig asked.
"Yeah."Manny smiled as they walked thier seperate ways.
Then Craig turned."Um manny about what I told you last year-"
"What?You never told me anything."Manny said with a clueless face.
"But I-"Craig was about to explain but he then saw Manny's smile."Nevermind."Craig laughed.
Manny ran to her homeroom and saw J.T and Liberty kissing.
"Um PDA's is sorta kinda of a gross thing remember Liberty code of conduct?"Manny said in a haughty voice.
She then laughed herself the way to her seat next to Emma.
"I can't belive you told her that what was the thing with no drama?"Emma laughed along with Manny.
"What are you talking about?"Manny asked with an obvious grin on her face.
Emma gave her a come-on-tell-me-the-truth-look.
"What I mean she is my friend but she was like that to me so I thought well kinda payback,i'm not gonna seek revenge on her it's just a joke."Manny said truthfully.
Liberty and J.T came running in with Mr.Simpson behind them.
"Um Mr.Simpson I kinda need to go make the ann-"
"Go right ahead."Mr.Simpson said.
"Bye Libby."J.T smiled giving her a kiss on the lips.
Mr.Simpson made a face but then closed the door.
"Alright let's start class."Mr.Simpson said.
He walked in front of the clas and saw the kids.
My have they all grown...Mr.Simpson thought.
"Um hello Mr.Simpson um you can daydream later."J.T said.A few people laughed giving J.T his satisfaction.
"Look who's talking?Well alright class um let's focus out attention to your computer screens."
The Degrassi Panthers came on the screen and then it focused on Liberty.
"Good morning all and welcome back to Degrassi,for some their last year-"
Hazel gives Jimmy a sad look and Jimmy smiled at her
"For some theirr first-"
a seventh grade classroom looks nervous
"But we hope that you all have a great first day and we have an announcement from Paige,captin of the cheer squad.Paige?"
Paige then came on to screen.She smiled and then looked directly into the camera
"Hello Degrassi students as you all know me Paige,am Captin like ..Liberty said.Well lucky for you girls out there,there are some spots open but remember you have to try out,we are looking for skills,determination,deication,good looks..,but mostly what I said before!Well I hope you come and try out we would like to see new faces!"Paige smiled.She then waved at the camera and Liberty came back onto the screen.
"Thanks Paige,well there is an announcement for all eleventh and twelve graders there will be a feild trip to California cost about 200,but more info around January,and remember Miss.Kwans class is meeting in the auditorium and all seventh graders please get your classes signed and that's all have a great day Degrassi!"Liberty said.
Manny turned to Emma.
"La la la."Manny groaned.
"What?"Emma asked.
"Now she just wahnts to be the new Ashlee Simpson."J.T said.
"Shut up James."Manny grinned.
"Hey hey that's going too far!"J.T said.
"I don't know..so J.T thinking of going camping?"Manny asked.
"Uh yeah I would love to catch a surf."J.T said.
"You Surf!"Emma and Manny asked in unison and shock.
"Um yea..durring ninth grade that's why I was surfer style."J.T said quietly.
"Suprise suprise."Emma said with her eyes wide opened.
Then a girl stepped in.She had blonde brown hair with green eyes.She had lip gloss mascara eye liner eye shadow.Her jeans were skin tight and you could see a tiny thong.Her shirt was brown with the word SEXy on it.She had hoop earing and had gum in her mouth.
"Ya Mr.Simpson?"She asked.
Mr.Simpson's eyes were opened with shock.
"Um um yeah."He said."Well you must be-"
"Marisa,yeah,I came here but on a different track."She said smugly.
"Well class this is Marisa and Marisa this is the class you can have a seat next to Manny Santos;Manny please raise your hand."Mr.Simpson asked.
Manny raised her hand and Marisa just walked over.
All the guys looked at her and she winked and flirted back.
Manny's POV
Alright she is the new girl.Mostly all the new girls always are either geeky or weird this one is-I mean was like me in ninth grade.She seems okay.Emma is giving her a dirty look and J.T is trying tp keep his eyes off her.She sat next to me and looked around the class.
"So uh your name is Manny?"Marisa asked.
"Yeah."I replied.
"Oh well I think i've heard about you,but you don't look that trampy to me."Marisa said.
Who does this bit- Girl think she is calling me trampy I mean hello I wasted a year trying no to be the school slut! Wait?Who did she hear this from?
"Excuse me?"I asked.
"Well I guess you've changed but you still look hot.So are there any cute guys here?"Marisa asked.
"Um yeah."I said being honest.Did she just call me hot?Okay a little weirded out.
"Oh well why don't we hang out,I mean you seem cool enough and your hot so why not?"Marisa said as if she already planned this.Care free.Okay she called me hot again this is getting kinda freaky...
"Um well sure."I said in kinda of a whisper.Great now I was sounding as if I was a loser.
"Cools.I mean I was looking at girls-not that way-as I was walking here and your the only one that seemed cool so let's hang out at the dot."Marisa said.
"Sure!"I then caught myself answering like a dork."I mean like I guess that sounds good."
The bell rang.
"Well I gotta go love you!"She said at first I was shocked but then she hugged me and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"UM bye."I said in confusion.
She the walked to her next class.
As I began to walk out of homeroom Emma came at me.
"Are you gonna be like her friend or something?"She asked showing hints of anger.
"Um no why and even if I did what would it matter?"I asked facing her.
"I don't know when I look at her I think of the old you,and you said no more drama she has drama written all over her face."Emma said.
"Look i'll be careful and besides you'll always be my best friend."I said hugging her.She sighed anbd hugged back.
"I know it's just.."
"I get it."I finished for her she smiled as we looked at our next classes.
"I have-"We both said unison.
"Drama."I said.
"IWN."Emma said.
We both starred at each other.
"Drama?"she asked.
"IWN?"I asked.
"I told you I wanted to be in Drama like last year except have it as a class I love acting and I was in that movie I think I want to be an actress or a model."I said honestly looking at her for an explanation why she didn't choose drama.
"Well Manny remember what happened last year in Drama!"She raised her voice.That made me flinch."Why on earth would you think I would choose that class again?"
"IWN?"I asked.
"Intouch With Nature,we actaully try to change the ways people look at nature with protests and going on trips,besides I haven't really helped S.I.T.E last year."Emma mumbled with an obvious hint of dissapointement.
"I'm sorry I guess we like different interests."I told her.
"You know whatever,"She sighed."Well we can't spend all our classes together."
"I guess not so i'll see you later."I asked.
"Yeah."Emma said.As we walked our seperate ways I turned back and so did she.I gave her a smile and she gave me one too.
As I walked to drama class I saw Hazel.
"Hazel!"I shouted as I caught up to her.
"Manny hey you have drama!"She asked shocked.
"Um yeah why?"I asked.
"Well like there are only like 3 eleventh graders."She said.
"Why?"I asked.
"Because the yearbook class opened and most people wanted that class or photography class."Hazel said.
I felt stupid,but this is what I wanted.
"So like who else is in this class?"I asked.
"Well it's not really a class the teacher is Mr.Zini who spends most of his time reading so it's just a free period."Hazel said.
"Oh."I mouthed.Great I had really wanted to act.Now i'm stuck in this stupid class,man I shoulda went for yearbook.
"Well Ashley,Paige,Jimmy,Sully,Craig,Marco,Darcy,J.T,Vanessa,Richard,me and you."Hazel replied.
"Like only 12 peeps?Okay that's weird..so um how are Craig and Ashley?"I asked.
"Oh well they haven't seen each other yet.."Hazel said giving me an eye of curiosity.
Okay I didn't like Craig I really didn't I mean the whole last year thing with Chester and Spin I wasn't ready to date, besides I just got him to be my friend..sorta I mean we talked and that's all I needed I didn't want to be attached to someone,yet I yearned for attention like the way me and Spin were before we got together,yet I did not want to feel like I needed the guy I wanted him to need me.I know I sound selfsih but when it came to guys I just had to face it I was well Boy Crazy.I mean I will never love anyone like the way I love Craig..never...I mean loved.
As i walked into the classroom it was big.I mean big.
"Wow.."I said with my mouth opened.
Right behind her came foot prints and Hazel and Manny turned around.
"Hi Hazel."Ashley smiled. Ashley had a green tank top with a jean jacket.The shirt said Rock n' Roll.Her jeans were ripped a little and her hair was the same as last year.Her make up was eye liner and some eye shadow.
"Hi Ashley."Hazel said.
Okay now I was really feeling uncomfotable.I had apologized in grade 9 and I didn't know if she forgave me or not but last year durring the carwash she got jealous just because me and Craig talked for like a second.Then what she did shocked the hell out of me.
"Hi Manny."She said as though she was forced to but hid it with a smile.
Woah Woah woah hold the clock.Did Ashley just speak to me without the words,boyfriend theif,slut,whore,or giving me a dirty look so dirty I felt like taking a shower?No,no the only logical explanation was that she was abducted my aliens and then came back to earth.Then while I had all these thoughts in my head I noticed I was stalling I had to say something quick.
"Hi Ash,"I said with full shock because even Hazel looked at me.Then stupidly i continued,"How was your summer?"
Then I felt so stupid.
She then seem to get tense.
"Me and Craig are not good and I was at London."She said.
"well um sorry."I said unknowing what else to say.
She nodded and walked passed me.
"What was that?"Hazel asked shocked.
"I have no idea."I said couldn't belive what just happened.
We stepped into the room and I was hoping to go towards J.T and Darcy or even Paige when I saw Marco.
"Hey Manny how was your summer?"He asked.
"Pretty good and yours?"I asked.
"Well I got a job at the mall!"Marco said.
I squealed in excitement.
Me and Marco have became really good friends since last year.We talk more have more in common and I sorta replaced the friendship he had with Paige in a way.
"So will you give me discount?"I asked in a childish voice.
"Yes Manny of course."Marco chuckled.
"Alright class settle down!"A teacher same.He was bald and chuuby.His eyes were light brown and his skin was kinda red.
"I am Mr.Zini but you can call me Mr.Z if you desire too."
Darcy whispered to J.T."Why did that sound so pervish?"
J.T laughed.
"Is something funny Mr.uh..York!"He asked looking at his call sheet.
"Yeah,it's kinda funny because I didn't even wanna be in this class just cause I directed the play last year they stuck me in this class."J.T said casually.
"Well sorry to here that well all I ask is that you don't get into any trouble and you'll pass the class as time passes yes we will be forced to put on a play but don't worry about that just do whatever."Mr.Zini said as he sat down at his desk and read his book.
Darcy and J.T then went up to me and Marco.
"This class bites."Darcy griited through her teeth."I wanted to act."
"Me too!"I said in a pout.
"Oh well I guess this class will get boring."Marco said.
I turned and saw Ashley go up to Craig.
"Hey."Ashley said.
"Oh so now you wanna talk to me."Craig said.
"Look i'm sorry okay it's just I needed some space I was always worried about you and-"
"And you didn't have to i'm not a kid Ash I am seventeen I can take care of myself."Craig said.
"I know and i'm sorry."Ashley said.But give me a break I love you!"
Caig turned to her."I love you too but it's just you always over react about everything."Craig said."I mean everything."
"Look just cause I care about you-"
"Ash I can take care of myself I want a girlfriend!"Craig said as he looked into her eyes.
Ashley smiled.
"I want a boyfriend,my boyfriend."Ashley said.
"Well I need a break."Craig said.
Ashley was shocked."What?"
"Yeah,Ash you wear me out."Craig said."I love you it's just.."
Ashley got up."I get it."She snapped walking towards Paige,Hazel,and Jimmy.
Craig sighed.
"Maybe you should..."I looked at Marco.
"Yeah come on."Marco said as he got my hand.
"Wha-"Before I could pro test I was already in front of Craig.I tunred to Darcy and J.T who were looking at me.
Darcy just looked at J.T and they began talking about something.I wish I could've heard what they said.
"So what happened?"Marco asked.
"I kinda made the temporary break up official."Craig said lookng at me as in wondering why I was there.
I wish I could've told him I didn't wanna be there either but what could I do?
"Aww sorry man."Marco said.
"Ehh no biggy."Craig said.He then turned to me.
It was weird when he looked at me I felt like when you are about to perform on stage and the light hits you right in the eyes.Your confused don't know wha you're doing,not sure if your making yourself look like a dumbass,I just felt so weird.
"Oh thanks for uh the present."Craig said showing me his wrist.It was the wrist band I gave him with The Beatles on it.
"Welcome."I smiled.
The rest of the time went by fast because I was just talking to Marco and Craig.Mostly they were talking and I was just there smiling and laughing from time to time.Then the bell rang to my dissapointment.
I ran up to Darcy and J.T.
"Next class?"I asked.
Darcy looked at me and said,"Um I have Math."
"Me too."j.T replied.
"Coolz so do I well let's go."I said to them.
Things were going good so far I mean I had so many friends now and well things seemed to be going so perfect.
What was about to happen would make all that dissapear.I had no idea what I was in for.
"Manny!"I heard a voice calling me.
I turned around and so did Darcy and J.T.
Then I saw Marisa.She waved at me and I waved back.
"Come here!"She laughed.
I turned to J.T and Darcy.
"Uh you know your gonna be late if you go to talk to her."Darcy said.
"Yeah..come on just ignore her."J.T said.
I then saw Marisa waiting for me.If I were to go with J.T and Darcy then I would probebly make an enemy or make a girl a loner which I kinda knew how it felt but if I were to go with Marisa I would just be late to my math class and maybe even get closer to Marisa as friends.
"Um tell the teacher I had to go to the bathroom."I said.
J.T rolled his eyes."Whatever you say."
I smiled."Yeah whatever I say."
I then walked up to Marisa.
"Hey um you know you might be late right?"I told her.
"I know and?"she asked.
Alright everytime i'm with this girl she makes me feel like a loser dork.
"Well it's the first day.."I said slowly hoping she would get what i',m saying.
"Manny you wanna go to the beach?"She asked just out of the blue.
"But we have school."I said.
"Manny I really thought you were the cool chick but I guess I was wrong."Marisa said.
Inside I felt like I was sort of an outcast.I was losing a friend which I thought I had.She seemed to get an impression that I was cool and now she thinks i'm a ..loser.I mean it was just one period I would miss and I hate Math,...right?
"Why go to the beach when we can go to the downtown shopping center?"I said with a grin.
"I like the way you think!"Marisa said.
We then walked out of Degrassi's doors.
We took the bus and made it to downtown within 10-20 minutes.
"So what store...?"She whispered to herself but loud enough so I can hear.
"Um ohh that store has hot shirts."I said pointing to Crystalz.
Her face brightened as we walked in.
"HOw much money do you have I only have like 20."I said looking at my pocket.
"Um it's okay..I go to this store so much I have a discount."She said.
I looked at her with suspiscion.
"UM what kind of a discount?"I asked.
She showed me her hand.
"Five Finger."She grined and then pointed to each one of them."And each one wants an item."
We looked at the store cashier.
It was an old woman who had head phones and was reading a magazine.
I nodded and she smiled.
I waslked towards the back and saw earings.
"Pretty,get 'em."Marisa said as she walked by me.
I knew this was wrong but I felt this rush in me like excitment or when you're about to go down on a roller coaster.
I then got in and put it in my backpack.
Marisa then came and her bag looked chunky.
"So wha'd you got?"She asked.
"UM earings."I replied.
I then saw this cute shirt.
Marisa must've saw what I saw because she got it and stuffed it in my bag.
"Marisa."I whispered.
"What?Oh right," she then got a matching thong."Here you can match."
As we were about to walk out of the store the lady looked at us.
I felt as if she knew and she was about to bust me when Marisa grabbed my arm and we calmy walked out.
"Wasn't that a rush?"She laughed loudly looking up at the sky.
"I didn't know I had the guts to do that!"i said while looking at her.
"Well duh..cause you never did it before,well I guess we better get back to school."Marisa said looking at her watch.
I nodded.
Within a half hour we were back at the school and just ui time for period three.
"Well here's my number."Marisa said.
She grabbed my hand and wrote her number.
"I'll call you."
I walked away when I bumped into Emma.
"Where were you?"Emma asked.
"I was-uh-"
"Actaully I was going to ask the same question."Mr.Armstrong said behind her.
