A/N: HEY HEY HEY! I'M BACK! AND SO IS THE STORY! So ths is the sequel =) This starts off two months after the last one left off. remember that Jordan is at Florida State University (FSU), Paige at Banting, Alex at Degrassi, and Beth at University of Miami (UM).This chapter is just really an intro. enjoy =)

Disclaimer: I own a 2005 ford focus, over 150 cds, a playstation 2, and yo mama. But I do not own Degrassi or its character. =)

College, the new frontier. At least in my mind it is. It feels good to be back in Florida, my home state. No longer must I wear a jacket, because the sun shines all the time. Well until it's night time, then the moon shines.

Ugh, what is that damn ringing? Is that a cell phone?

Thump!

I know that was not a pillow that just hit me.

"Jordan," my roommate Amy says. "Pick up your fucking phone."

I search around my desk next to my bed. I finally find my phone. "Hello," I say all tired.

"Jordan, I met someone," the voice on the other end says.

"Who is this?"

"Alex, your best friend!

"Oh my God Alex. Do you know what time it is here? I know you do because Toronto and Florida are in the same time zone my friend."

"Jeez Jordan, I thought you would want to hear about this wonderful moment that just happened in my life. But I guess if you don't then I'll just hang up."

I sigh, knowing what she's doing. I'll fall for her trick. "Fine since I'm awake now anyway, tell me your news."

"I was at the library studying-."

"Wait," I interrupt her. "You were studying?"

"Yes I was studying, I do that now. Anyways, I was studying for a Biology test and this girl walks up to me and asks if she can sit down. So of course I said "yes" because I'm not going to deny a girl a seat, especially a cute girl."

I'm slowing drifting back to sleep as Alex is telling me her story. I feel like she could have waited till the morning to tell me all this.

"So now I have a date with her this weekend," she says excitedly which actually jolts me awake.

"Yay," I say unenthusiastically.

"You don't sound excited for me," Alex says.

I sigh into the phone. "It's 2:30 in the morning and I have a chemistry lab to go to in five hours. Alex, I'm happy for you really I am, but I need to sleep and you're keeping me from my much needed sleep."

"You're right, I'm sorry. I'll talk to you later."

"Goodnight Alex," I shut my phone off and drift back to sleep.

The Next Morning:
I'll keep you my dirty little secret. Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret.

Must find the button. Must find the button! My hand is feeling around my desk trying to find the alarm button on my ipod player. I feel another hand on mine but this hand actually turns the alarm off.
I look up to see who turned the alarm off. Amy is looking down at me with a toothbrush in her mouth.

"First your cell phone and now your alarm clock," she says. "Not cool."

I throw the covers off my body and try to get ready for school. I'll admit that it's weird being in college and not having anybody from the gang here. It's also weird that I sometimes see people from my old high school here. As I'm about to take a shower I look at the text message on my phone that I've looked at every morning for the past two weeks.

I'll always love you…

I close the phone and sigh. I'm torturing myself by keeping this text message and looking at it every morning but I can't erase, I won't erase it.

After Classes Are Done:
Thank God, it's the end of the day. That's the drawback of college, the part they don't show you on TV or in the movies. Most of us forget these things exist, these evil meeting things they call classes.

I get my phone out of my pocket and dial Alex's number. Now that I'm actually awake I'm ready to hear her news. To be honest I actually don't remember that much of what she told me this morning.

"Hello," she answers the phone.

"Hello best friend. How are you?"

"Now you want to talk?" She's giving me attitude and I'm not appreciating it.

"Listen, you called ME at two in the mother effin morning. No one wants to talk that early in the morning."

"Well I did and now I don't want to talk to you." She hangs up the phone.

I'm not calling her back because I know she's just going to call me back later tonight.

"Hey Jordan," a voice says behind me.

I know this voice. Not only did this voice make me cringe back in high school when I lived in Florida but it makes me cringe now. I turn around and behind me is Tammy Mason.

Tammy Mason was that girl in school I didn't like because she was just too perky for me. Imagine Paige during a basketball game cheering and multiply that by ten. Yeah, that's how perky Tammy is and she's like that all the time. She's was the short black perky girl that people thought was either cute or annoying. I always tried to avoid Tammy but it never worked. What made it worse was that in the tenth grade Tammy developed a crush on me that has seemed to not go away. Everyone in school was shocked to find out that Tammy had a crush on me. They weren't shocked that I was the crushee but that Tammy actually liked girls. Imagine the shock at Degrassi when everyone found out Alex and Paige were dating and multiply that by five.

"Hey Tammy," I say. "How are you?" I don't actually care how she is but I'm being polite.

"I'm great now that you're here. How are you?" She's giving me a really weird smile right now and it kind of makes me want to puke.

"I'm good."

She's just standing there, her eyes going up and down scanning my body. I know what she's thinking and I just wanna say so badly that it's NEVER going to happen. No one is speaking and this is starting to become really awkward.

"Umm, yeah, so I have to go and do some homework now." I turn to walk away.

Crazy girl suddenly grabs my hand. "I was thinking," she starts.

"That's never good," I mutter.

"What was that?" she asks.

"Nothing," I say quickly.

"Well I was thinking that if you're not busy this weekend we could maybe catch a movie together."

I wish this girl would just give up. How many times do I have to deny her for her to get the hint? Now I have to think of some excuse. How long has it been since the question was asked? I hope she hasn't noticed that I'm thinking of a reason to get out of this.

"Oh come on Jordan," she says sweetly. "You know I've liked you since high school before you left for Canada. You can't keep denying me. Besides, you don't even have a girlfriend anymore."

I flinch at the mention of no longer having someone. It hurts, like a sharp pain in my heart that won't go away.

"I have a lot of work to do this weekend," I say bitterly. "Maybe next time." I walk away from her. I open my phone and read the text message again and feel a tear slide down my cheek.

I'll always love you… as a friend.

OMG, what happened to Jordan and Beth? Hmm….. REVIEWS are really nice. They're like pixie sticks, they make me high and jumpy =)
