In this story Manny and Sean are brother and sister. Jay and Emma never hooked up and there was never a Sean and Emma have not yet made it official. Manny and Jay had both liked each other for a long time, neither one knowing about the others feelings. Their best friends didn't even know. Sean and Emma on the other hand liked each other and everybody could tell. Jay already graduated but he comes back to degrassi to take some extra shop classes.

Manny and Emma entered Degrassi together on a normal winter day. Sean and Jay walked by and Sean eyed up Emma. "EW!" Manny exclaimed as Sean passed. Emma blushed. "WHAT?" she said. "He totally likes you and that's totally creepy because he is my brother!" Manny exclaimed. "So he is kind of cute!" Emma said giggling. "EXCUSE ME WHILE I BARF!!!" Manny said pretending to throw up. Emma smacked her best friend. "So are you still coming over tonight? Parents are out for the weekend… leaving me a lot of money for pizza!!" Manny said smiling. Emma laughed. "Of course! I wouldn't miss it for the world." Emma laughed as the bell rang. "1st period gotta run!" Manny said laughing. Emma waved to Manny and the two parted.

Jay and Sean heard the bell ring and smiled as they walked out the back door. Jay pulled out a pack of smokes and handed one to Sean. "The beauty of being 18" Jay laughed as he lit up. "I remember when I was 17 and couldn't buy cigarettes" Jay smiled. Sean took a hit then laughed "Hey! I only got a few more months" Sean said taking another hit. "So you down tonight, come over, play some video games?" Sean asked. "Your sister going to be there?" Jay asked. Sean's face went from smiling to serious. "Dude she is 16" Sean said a little mad. "And she probably wants me" Jay said laughing. "Yea right dude, Manny is not like all the other skanks you mess around with" Sean finished his cigarette. "Okay dude, but yea were on for tonight" Jay said smiling. "Sweet, guess I should go to class" Sean said heading in the back door. Jay took one more hit and then followed him.

The day ended and Manny and Emma headed over to Emma's to gather her stuff. They walked to the movie store and picked out a couple chick flicks, and headed to Manny's. They walked up to her drive way and Emma noticed Sean and Jay's cars both in the drive way. "You didn't tell me Sean was going to be here" Emma said excitedly as she walked up the steps and into the house. Manny sighed. "He wasn't supposed to be here." Manny said under her breath. She walked into her house and saw that Emma went right over to Sean and Jay. Manny rolled her eyes and made her way up the steps. Jay looked over and saw Manny walking up the steps. He saw Sean entranced in Emma's presence so he made his way up the steps.

Sean noticed that Jay walked away and looked at Emma. A stray peice of hair fell onto her face and he brushed it away. "what are we Em?" he asked. She blushed "what do you mean?" He laughed "dont play" he said taking her hand. "Emma i like you, ALOT" he said nervously. she smiled and squeezed his hand "and i know we have had this thing, but lets make it for real?" he questioned. She smiled "finally" she said giggling and leaning in and kissing him.

Manny stepped into her room and pulled her jeans down and put on her little spandex cheerleading shorts. She slipped her sweat shirt off and put on a tank top. She lay down on her bed as she heard a knock on the door, figuring it was Emma she ignored it. She heard the knock again. She sighed angrily and got up and opened the door. Jay looked at her up and down and his mouth just dropped. She looked at him. She took her hands and closed his mouth. He shook his head as he watched her turn around and walk to her bed. He couldn't help but stare. She lay down and flipped her TV on. He stood in the doorway. "Are you going to come in, or just stand there, because either way I want the door shut and locked." Manny said not looking at him.

He walked in and locked the door behind him. "You okay?" he asked. "Yea my best friend just ditched me for my older brother, but I'm great" Manny said angrily. "Well what if your older brothers best friend ditches him for you?" Jay asked. Manny sat there for a second and then smiled. "That could be cool" She said softly. He walked over to the bed. "Can I?" he asked. She scooted over, "sure" she said sweetly.

"So then he tells me it's my fault that the wall had a hole in it, when he threw the brick through it!" Manny said giggling. Jay laughed. "Who got in trouble for it?" he asked. "Sean!" Manny said smiling. He laughed. Manny looked out the window and realized it was getting dark. They must have been talking for longer then she thought. "Wow" she said looking at her clock, "it's already 6" she said smiling and looking at Jay. He looked at her and reached his hand over and touched her face. She closed her eyes slowly and he started to lean in.
