MORNING
Beep Beep Beep Beep!
My alarm sounded as it just reached 7:00. I got up out of bed and started getting ready for my first day of seventh grade at Degrassi Community School. I sleepily walked to my closet and put on a fitted plain red t shirt and skinny jeans with some black vans. I looked in the mirror and said, "Well a new school, new people, new boys who knows maybe this will be fun." I then grabbed my backpack and ran down the stairs grabbing a pop tart on the way out.
SCHOOL
I walked up right in front of the stairs of Degrassi and just stared. Suddenly a voice said, "Welcome to Degrassi, I'm Liberty Van Zant."
"Hi Liberty...I'm Sarah Mcdonald. Nice meeting you." I said as I shook this odd child's hand.
"What grade do you happen to be in, Sarah?" asked Liberty.
"Umm, seventh." I said.
Liberty looked estaticted and she inquired we would be best friends since we are in the same grade. Liberty blabbed on as she took me to get my class schedule. I looked at it and I had Mr. Simpson for homeroom. Liberty took one look at my schedule and screamed because we had all the same classes together.
"Okay, Sarah we have ten minutes before homeroom starts let me introduce you to a few of my friends." Liberty exclaimed.
Well anyone could be better than Liberty, I thought as I nodded yes. Liberty brought me over to a girl with blonde hair who was extremely skinny and had clear braces. Another girl who had dark wavy hair and was shorter than the other girl. A boy who was wearing his hat backwards and was about the same height of the dark haired girl. And this really geeky looking boy who I paid no attention to and somehow felt complete rage towards. (This will make sense later)
"Hey guys this is Sarah McDonald, she's new here and she is in our grade and homeroom." announced Liberty. The blonde haired girl introduced herself, "Hi I'm Emma Nelson, and I hope we can be great friends." I immediately took a liking to her. She seemed real sweet and innocent and exactly the kind of friend I was looking for. The dark haired girl introduced herself too," I'm Manny Santos, Emma's best friend so if you guys are friends then so are we." I liked her too and three of us of them walked away chatting, leaving the two boys jaws to the floor standing there.
"So Sarah it's only a week into the school year why have you transferred a week later you could have just came the first day?" Emma asked.
"I was at another school in Quebec, but my dad got offered an awesome job and we moved here and now I go to Degrassi." I answered.
"Spotted any cute guys yet?" Manny laughed.
"Well there was this one guy I don't know what his name was though but he was really cute. By the way who were those two guys staring at me back there?" I replied.
"Oh, that was J.t and Toby." Emma said as she and Manny laughed.
"They were kind of freaking me out. The one with the hat was cute but baby cute and the geeky one was just ewww." I claimed and the two girls burst out laughing. Then we went to our homeroom.
CLASS
I walked into class and took a seat next to Emma who was sitting next to Manny. Then J.t sat next to me followed by Toby who sat next to him. The first thing Mr. Simpson did was unfortunately have me introduce myself to the class. I'm really shy but he insisted, so I got up there and noticed Toby and J.t's eyes locked on me. I really wish they wouldn't do that! I stood there and shyly said, "Hi I'm Sarah McDonald and I kind of like this school so far." Mr. Simpson smiled and I sat back down in my seat still having the two creep's eyes on me. Then suddenly the door flew open and in flew the guy I thought was really cute. "Sean Cameron, late for class are we?" asked Mr. Simpson. Sean answered, "Sorry sir." And he sat down. Hmmm, Sean Cameron, this guy seems like a bad boy and I just love bad boys. "Psst. Psst." I snapped out of my daydream as J.t is whispering to me. "Hey Sarah, I'm J.t Yorke would you like to sit with me and Tobes over here at lunch?" I pretended to consider it and said "No sorry in sitting with Emma and Manny maybe another day." I just hoped they weren't too upset I HATE when people are angry with me. I then looked over at Sean and he was staring at me! I blushed and looked away as the bell rang for lunch time.
LUNCH
Me, Manny and Emma sat down at a lunch table with J.t and Toby.
"Looks like we're sitting together after all." I said to J.t wondering if this would be like the same thing.
"Haha guess so." J.t said a little unhappy at the fact that Manny and Emma were there.
Then all of a sudden the one and only Sean Cameron sat down with us. I wondered why Emma and Manny didn't mention they were friends with him before. So I leaned in and whispered to Manny, "That's the guy I think is really cute!" Manny got a worried expression. "He is totally cute, but Emma has this major crush on him!" Manny answered. "Okay I wouldn't want to do that to Emma so I'll find someone else." I said a tad upset that I'd have to find someone equally cute or cuter to get my mind off of this boy.
Sean then said," So who is this?" pointing to me.
"That's Sarah she's new and she is me and Manny's new best friend." Emma happily stated.
I blushed and waved at him and Sean waved back with a gorgous smile on his face. I began to daydream again. What if me and him ended up as a couple! NO SARAH, what are you saying think of your new best friend Emma! "Sarah want to come over after school with Manny?" Emma asked suddenly snapping me out of yet another daydream about Sean. I nodded and said, "Of course. I'd love to." I then began to stare at Sean again and J.t noticed. He then blurted out," Sean! Emma has a crush on you!" Emma immediately turned red and this brought me back to my senses. Manny and I glared at J.t and he ran away feeling embarrassed. I turned to Emma trying to comfort her, but she wouldn't calm down. She put her head on the table we were at and refused to lift it up. I looked over at Sean who was blushing and smiling. For some reason seeing him blush at the fact Emma had a crush on him made me extremely upset. Ughh I want these feelings to go AWAY!Suddenly lunch came to an end and we all headed off to our classes and before I knew it school was over and I was meeting Emma and Manny outside.
AFTER SCHOOL
We started off towards Emma's house and chatted away once again.
"That was so embarrassing! I can't believe J.t would do that! I don't know what has gotten into him." Emma said very upset.
"I know right, Em! I was about to smack that boy!" Manny exclaimed.
"Haha, that was pretty harsh but Sean was totally blushing AND smiling!" I said trying to sound happy for her.
"Really?" Emma blushed as she happily asked me.
"Would I lie about something like that? He was so happy to hear it, you could just tell!" I answered.
"I can't believe it! I've liked him ever since I laid eyes on him. This does mean he likes me though, right?" Emma asked.
"Well it could." Manny said. "And it couldn't." I finished.
Emma then looked at the ground going into deep thought as we arrived at her house. We stepped inside and I saw a short woman on the couch watching the TV.
"Hi Em, Manny and whose this?" asked her mother.
"Oh yeah mom this is Sarah she was new and me and Manny took her in." Emma laughed as she said it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you then Sarah." Her mother said nicely.
"It's great to meet you too Ms. Nelson." I answered the nicest I could.
"Oh please call me Spike." She said.
"Okay Spike!" I said and we walked upstairs to Emma's room. Her room was small and cute. The walls were orange and she had a bunch of cool little things all around.
"Em, I'm starving! Do you think you could get me something to eat?" Manny asked begging her on her knees.
Emma laughed," Sure thing Manny. Sarah do you want anything?" I nodded and I was still laughing at Manny begging on her knees. Emma then walked downstairs. Then while she was gone her phone rang. Manny walked over and answered it. "Hello?" "Oh hey Sean. It's Manny.""Yeah she's here. Sure thing hold on I'll give her the phone." Manny walked over and handed me the phone to my surprise."Umm, Sean?" "Sarah! I have to ask you something." "Okay, shoot." "Do you maybe want to see a movie tomorrow?" Just then Emma walked in with the snacks and I remembered she likes Sean. "Yeah, sure I'd be happy to. Bye."
"Who was that?" Emma asked suspiciously.
"Oh it was Sean he was just wondering if I could help him with some math homework." I answered quickly. Ughh what was I thinking! Emma likes him and you can't have him Sarah! Emma is your friend! Now tomorrow you're going to cancel that date. Oh who am I kidding I don't want to cancel it."Sarah." I want Sean Cameron. "SARAH!" "Huh, what?" "Why would Sean ask you?" Emma asked sounding a little scared he may like me."I have no idea it was my first day and he asked I wasn't just going to say no." I answered trying to sound convincing. "Don't worry Em he's all yours I don't want him." Emma looked relieved "Okay, thanks for understanding." I smiled hoping it didn't seem too obvious that I was lying. It was now eight and I decided I should head home.
NEXT DAY
I walked into school the next day and found Emma and Manny at their lockers. I walked up to them and we all started talking and then Sean came up.
"Hey Sean I need to talk to you about that math homework." I said to him and he looked confused but said ok.
"Can't wait for tonight!" Sean said happily.
"I'll go as long as no one finds out." I said hesitantly.
"Well why not?" he asked sounding heartbroken.
"Emma is my best friend and she likes you I can't do that to her!" I answered a little worried.
"Yeah you have a point. Emma is a real great friend and you're lucky to have her so I don't want to wreck that for you. I'll keep it secret don't worry." He answered. Gosh he was so cute how could I not smile at him? He is just the sweetest. No! No! No! Sarah stop this is Emma's man!
"Pick me up at seven." I said without even knowing it.
I walked back over to Emma and Manny. They were talking about making plans to hang out tonight and asked if I wanted to come. "Umm, my dad is getting home from work early tonight and it's a family night." I lied as we entered math class. I had to sit through this boring math class listening to Mr. Armstrong ramble on about variables. But, all I could think about was me and Sean's date. More importantly if Emma would find out. I really liked Emma she was like the sister I never had. I mean I like Manny too but she doesn't seem like the sisterly type. Ughh what if this ruins our friendship. Well if she finds out I'll do anything I can to fix our friendship I'll even break Sean's heart if I have to. Just then the bell rang and my class walked out to head to lunch. I picked up my stuff and followed Emma and Manny to our table.
LUNCH
We walked over to a table where J.t, Toby and Sean sat.
"SARAH! Do you want to maybe catch a movie with me tonight?" asked J.t. Sean looked at him angrily.
"Umm, can't I'm having family night." I answered. Sean smiled when I said this.
"Oh, maybe another time then." He said less than happy.
"Sure, whatever" I answered kind of getting tired of Toby and him staring at me all the time. I could tell Sean got annoyed at that too. I decided to stay quiet the rest of lunch and just eat my pizza. I had a lot of thinking to do before my date tonight. I also went to the rest of my classes but they flew by once again.
AFTER SCHOOL
Manny's mom picked her up from school today so I walked home with Emma.
"You like Sean a lot don't you?" I asked suddenly.
"Yeah something about him just makes my knees weak. I mean he's such a bad boy but he's also really sweet." She said with a huge smile.
I suddenly felt even worse about going out with Sean tonight. She loved this guy! I wouldn't ever want her to do this to me so why was I doing it to her. She said bye to me when we came to her house and after she left I sprinted to mine to get ready for the date. I ran up to my room and threw open my closet doors. I tried on just about all of my clothes, but I finally decided to wear a hot pink spaghetti sting tank top with some nice skinny jeans that weren't ripped or anything. I then put on all my makeup and grabbed my purse and waited for the doorbell to ring. Just then the bell did ring. I ran over and opened the door. Sean was standing there and looked amazed at how I looked.
"You ready to go?" I asked a little too excitedly.
"Yeah, as long as you're ready. I was thinking that we see that new movie Charlie's Angels." He said.
"Umm, yeah sure I've been dying to see that!" I answered.
"Okay well my brother is going to give us a ride so just hop in the back." He said.
So, I got in the back of his brother's red pickup truck. His brother was really nice and before I knew it we were at the mall.
"Do you want any popcorn before the movie or anything else?' He asked getting his wallet out just in case.
"Umm, no I think I'm fine." I answered and he went up to buy tickets.
"Alright let's go." We picked seats in the very front and sat down as the movie was about to start. At first we just sat there awkwardly but then he put his arm around me. I smiled at him and he leaned in for a quick peck. The movie ended and I asked him, "Could we maybe go to the park for a little while."
"Of course whatever you want." He said. When we got to the park we sat on a bench and he leaned in and kissed me which turned into a make out session. I thought everything was going well until I heard Emma yell, "Sarah! Sean?"
