Manuella Santos walked up the steps of Degrassi Community School, as she would many times her grade eleven year. As she quickly opened opened the transparent front door,the firsrt person she noticed was JT Yorke. She had known JT since she was in Preschool. She'd even given dating him a whirl last year, but that didn't end happily.

"Hey JT,how was your summer?" Manny smiled as she made her way toward him.

JT didn't answer,he was busy organizing his near by locker.

"My summer was great JT" Manny said acting as if he had replied to her question.

"Sorry" JT said, taking his head out of his locker, his eyes, red from crying.

"JT Yorke,you've been crying and over Liberty,I never thought this day would come." Manny asked "This is the first time I've seen you shed a tear sine Grade one, if I remember correctly it was when I took your red crayon."

JT laughed and rolled his eyes.

"See there's the smile I know and love" Manny announced wiping a tear from her friends' cheek.

"Well,the bell's going to go soon,what class do you have first period?" he asked hoping Manny was in his class.

"Mr.Armstong,Math" she announced examining her class schedule.

"Same here" JT said,he had already memorized his schedule.

The two together walked to Mr.Armstrong's grade eleven math class. When they come to the entrance of the classroom that they knew so well,the two scanned that room to see if they had any other friends on that class. They saw Emma and Toby huddled together and in the corner they saw Liberty,alreadt working on extra credit. At the sight of his ex-girlfriend,JT's eyes began to tear. He started to back in the oppisite direction to the room,to stop him Manny places her hand on his shoulder.

"JT stop!" she said sternly.

"I can't I thought I could do this... but I can't" he rambeled "Maybe I could change schools or something."

"Change schools?" Manny asked rolling her eyes, "Damn JT,you can't change schools over one girl that broke your heart."

"I guess you're right" he sighed.

"Now get in their right now" Manny said motioning for him to go into the classroom.

"Yes ma'am" JT laughed,as walked into the class room.

As Emma saw two of her best friend enter the Math room she jumped up from her seat,Tobyvn't see followed.

"Hey guys,havn't seen you since Heather Sinclairs' boring back to school bash" Emma laughed

"Yeah it's been a week" Manny sighed.

JT glanced at Liberty,who was deep on her work,then looked down at the tiled floor.The girls looked in the direction which JT was just staring. They saw Liberty sitting in a blue chair,rest her head in one arm and gripped a pincil in the other.

"Oh JT! I'm so so sorry! Here I am talking about Heather's crappy party and your suffering over a rought break up" she said putting her left hand on his left arm.

"I'm okay,Em" he sighed as Mr.Armstrong strolled into the classroom.

"We better sit down" Toby announced.

The group made their ways to four seats in a row,as Mr.Armstrong stood in front of the black board at the head of the classroom.

"Grade Eleven,time to start preparing you for college math" Mr.Armstrong smiled,putting his hands on his waist.

Manny turned to her right where JT is seated and smiled at him.
