Author's Note: Just another one-shot about Spinner and Eli becoming friends (:

I turned the volume up louder and nodded my head, while Emma turned to glare at me. "Spinner, why do you have to have the music so loud?"

"Uh, because, I'm Spinner," I said like it was obvious.

"Well, could you at least turn it to a better station? I dont want the baby hearing this kinda stuff," she put her hand on her stomach and I sighed, turning the radio off altogether.

Emma was seven months pregnant and she was going into mommy-mode. It's not like minded usually by but sometimes it got annoying. I know the baby could hear right now, but did it really matter what it was listening to? It wasnt like it was gonna come out singing Kid Elrick because we listened to it a lot.

I pulled into the Degrassi parking lot and helped Emma out. "Your dad does know we're visiting him at school, right?" I asked.

"No, but we're surprising him. He doesnt think we're coming until dinner tonight, but I miss Degrassi,"

"Yeah, I do, too, kinda. It's been a while,"

We started walking to the front and I caught Sav on the stairs with someone, listening to music.

"Can I meet you in there? I wanna talk to Sav for a little bit. I havent seen him since the wedding?"

"Sure. Tell him I said hi," She kissed me breifly and started walking up stairs.

I stopped in front of Sav and look down on him. He didnt notice me, but his friend did. He nudged Sav and he looked. "Spinner!" Sav yelled and shook my hand. "Damn, it's been a while. How's it going?"

"Pretty awes, actually. Emma's pregnant. She's do in two months,"

His eyes went wide. "Are you kidding me? Well, congrats, man,"

Sav's friend peered up at us, eyes squinted from the sun and Sav noticed. "Oh right. Spinner this my friend, Eli. Eli, this my old band-mate Spinner. He was the drummer to Studz. I made you listen to that before, haven't I?"

Eli stood up and shook my hand. "Sick drumming, dude,"

"Thanks. Do you drum?" I asked. This wasnt the type of kid I pictured Sav hanging out with. He wore all black clothing with eyeliner and black hair.

"Naw, but you're sound was killer...minus the vocals," he laughed.

Sav and I joined him. "Peter wasnt exactly a great singer," Sav laughed.

Some girl came over to Eli and she looked oddly familiar. I knew I had scene her before.

"Eli, are you coming to lunch?" she asked.

He smiled at her, his whole face lighting up and shook his head. "Give me a few minutes, Clare?"

"Clare Edwards!" I said, finally realizing who she was. She looked at me, confused. "You dont remember me? I dated Darcy and really long time ago. You were only in like 7th grade,"

"Oh, yeah. Spinner, right?"

I nodded.

"Well, it was nice seeing you again. I'll see you at lunch, Eli," They shared a short kiss, she said bye to Sav, and then walked away.

"So...you're dating Clare?" I asked. I never really knew Clare, but I loved Darcy and I'd be willing to watch out for her sister.

"Six months," he said proudly.

"Lucky guy, just treat her right, okay?"

He nodded. "Dont worry, I'm just a bit overprotective," he laughed and Sav laughed, too.

"Dont worry, Spin, Eli's great to Clare,"

"Okay...just making sure,"

"So you dated her sister?" Eli asked. "I've never met her, but Clare's told me about her. She seems really nice,"

"She is. She's a great girl, I'm sure. I havent seen her in a really long time,"

Eli nodded. "Yeah. She lives in Kenya now. Clare said she's doing some charity work,"

"Sounds just like Darcy,"

Holly J came over to us and smiled. "Spinner Mason. It's been a while,"

"Hi, J," I smiled and leaned down to hug her. She returned the hug and turned to Sav.

"We are wanted in the student council office. Planning a dance for next Friday,"

Sav sighed and shook my hand again. "It was nice seeing you, man. Eli, I'll talk to you later,"

Eli said bye and then we stood there awkwardly for a few moments. "I should probably go meet Clare at lunch,"

"Right, right. I should probably catch up with my wife," I laughed.

"It was nice meeting you," I said sincerely. He didnt seem like a bad dude.

"Yeah, you too."

"We should hang out sometime," I suggested as we walked up the stairs.

"You wouldnt mind hanging out with a Junior?"

"As long as you dont mind hanging out with married, daddy-to-be," I laughed.

Eli laughed with me. "No, not at all,"

"Cool, so I'll catch you later?"

We walked through the doors. "Yeah, for sure, man."
