Chap 2: Day 0 Part: 2/2
"Well. There it goes.", Holly J sighed as Sent appeared on her new iPhone screen indicating that her message to Declan had been sent. She was sitting in the Dot and Imogen sat next to the worried girl twirling her tea bag string deep in thought.
"Holly J. I know I just met you and all, but you seem to have a thing for Declan.", Imogen began. "Not to mention I just met him so…".
"A thing?!", Holly J turned toward the brunette almost angry and offended. When she saw the look on the other girl's face, almost freight and shock all in one, she softened and started to speak, but couldn't get anything out.
"Yeah.", Imogen whispered, her mouth still agape, "Totally a thing." she sipped her tea.
Holly J turned back toward her tea as well and began, "Well, there use to be a…thing.", she breathed.
Imogen smiled, "Well that's something Fiona didn't exactly tell me about you two. Even though I secretly knew it.", she giggled.
Holly J smiled at the memory of her and the fairly wealthy boy. "Was…a thing Imogen. There was a thing.".
Imogen glared at Holly J knowingly, unnoticed by the girl. "Well that's my lunch hour.", she gathered her book bag and Degrassi I.D., "So much for Fiona meeting up with us, huh?"
"Oh yeah.", Holly J sympathized, "She totally blew us off." Imogen frowned. "How are...things with you guys?", Holly wanted to know.
"These days, I have no clue.", Imogen divulged, "But I had something to tell her. Maybe be more, I don't know, exciting for us."
"Yeah.", Holly responded absentmindedly, staring at her phone. "Wait,", she snapped into it, "What'd you have to tell her, I may stop by the hotel later.", she suggested.
Imogen looked at her watch and nearly ran to the door. Before opening it she yelled back at the older girl, lounging at the bar, "Degrassi's getting a new school tomorrow!", she laughed. Holly J just stared confusedly.
As Imogen walked into Degrassi, she saw Eli, looking more angsty and emo than ever standing next to video lounge staring angrily at Sav as he gave the mid-day announcements. With this scene being all too familiar Imogen rolled her eyes as she walked up to the boy, ready to hear the problem with the drama club this time.
"Okay, Eli. What won't Simpson let you do this time?", Imogen said knowingly.
"He won't let me announce the new play the drama club's trying to put on.", the boy's eyes never left Sav as he continued speaking.
Imogen shook her head almost annoyed at the fact that she was right about the problem revolving around drama. "Eli,", she began sympathetically, "drama was supposed to be a place to release some endorphins, not be even more stressful.".
"I-I know.", Eli said eagerly with a certain craze in his eyes, "And I'm fine really. He just won't let me announce it because he believes we aren't prepared. Basically, he told us that the plot rocked, but our performers were…way off."
"Wait?", the girl was thrown off, "You're doing a musical?" she laughed.
He laughed along with her, "Release some endorphins right? What makes you happier than a little lovey-dovey, bubbly musical?", the boy stopped laughing abruptly. "But I need some good singers.", he continued and turned away, staring at a specific place. Imogen, following his line of sight, seen Jenna standing at her locker talking with Alli.
"Oh.", Imogen said somewhat understanding things, "You want Jenna to sing. Just ask her!"
"Not that easy.", Eli said staring at the blonde.
"Oh god don't tell me you're crushing on her too, Eli!", Imogen shook her head. "If you want Clare back you can't secretly like Jenna, they're sworn enemies ever since the whole 'stealing Jake' ordeal!"
"That's exactly why it isn't that easy, Imogen. You see, if I'm surrounded by someone that Clare hates 24/7 for the play, she won't come near me. Especially if Jake decides to tag along. Then I'd be mad!", the boy said gathering more craze in his eyes with every syllable. Alli and Jenna started walking toward Eli and Imogen.
"Fuck that. It's about the art now. Here's your chance.", Imogen stated before leaving him to do for himself. Deciding to get things out of the way and just ask Jenna, Eli was prepared to blurt out he sentence before he was cut off by Alli.
"You heard Holly J's back in town? She's throwing a party 'Above the Dot' tomorrow night and it's strictly Degrassi.", the ethnic girl said, turning her head toward Jenna with a little smirk with the final words. She smiled back. "Even though I'm on cultural lockdown and won't be attending.", she rolled her eyes.
"Oh. That's cool, but I don't think I'll go I gotta -", the boy was cut off by the AV room door swinging open as Sav emerged.
"Did I just hear you say Holly J's back?", Sav directed toward his little sister.
"Maybe?", she said oozing attitude.
"Oh snap! So that's what all of the flyers for 'Above the Dot' are about. I'm there! Can't wait to see her.", it was Sav's turn to ooze, only this time…desperation. As Sav made his way around the younger teens to finish his presidential rounds, Jenna began to wonder.
"Maybe I can get a gig there tonight.", she thought out loud as she and Alli walked away. Eli died inside.
Nearby, Drew had sat next to his girlfriend and dramatically stretched his arm over Katie's shoulder, yawning loudly and smiling as she got off off of the phone. "Hello, gorgeous. How was your lunch?", Drew asked with a smile.
Katie simply laughed aloud as she stood up and began to walk away with Drew trailing her. "What lunch? With everything I am doing assisting Sav with his presidential induction and what not, plus managing the soccer team's books for our away games…lunch hour is just a period where I don't have to listen to a nagging teacher…not to eat!", she breathlessly finished.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa.", the boy struggled to keep up with his girlfriend, "Slow down.". The girl stopped angrily and turned to look at the frustrated boy and a smile grew on his face. He poked his lips out comedically and closed his eyes, awaiting his girlfriend's lips.
Aggravated, the girl rolled her eyes and looked away, "I don't have time for this, Drew.", with that she walked away. Hearing the frustration in Katie's voice and the fading footsteps Drew opened his eyes and yelled on to her, "But you had time to say no? Perfect!", only to hear the footsteps get further away.
"Drew!", called a familiar voice. "Trouble in paradise?", it continued. Drew spun on his heels and rolled his eyes at the sight of Bianca.
"Not at all. Why?", the boy replied trying his hardest not to look the curly-haired girl in the face.
"Oh. No real reason. I just care about you, D.", Bianca half-laughed pulling Drew's face up to hers by his chin. "What's your next class?", she asked in a low husky voice.
"Bio.", Drew said nonchalantly, finally looking the girl in the eyes and immediately regretting it.
"Yeah? Well I heard that was scheduled in the boiler room today.", she began to sashay away, but didn't get too far before discreetly whispering over her shoulder, "And you don't wanna be late for class.". Bianca smirked to herself as she walked away, knowing that Drew would soon be in boiler room and all hers…fuck Katie.
"Help me. I need new women in my life. And fast.", Drew closed his eyes and prayed to who ever would listen before following closely behind Bianca. He doesn't want to be late for class. ;)
Alli and Clare were in the computer lab early, for they had lunch in the school instead of off-campus. But don't let this fool you. They tried their hardest to stay their separate ways and avoid contact of any kind. "So.", started Clare, "You think you gonna find another 'Johnny'-kind-of-guy' from this joining school?". As the girl said this she laughed awkwardly, but hopeful that another laugh would soon join.
Alli just looked at Claire in awe. Did she really just try to throw away all the bad blood between us by bringing up one of the biggest mistakes in my high school career? Alli thought to herself. She grabbed her iPod, put in her head phones and gave Claire a real intense glare before blasting "My Heart" by Naya Rivera. This should do the trick. Alli thought to herself yet again just as Ms. Oh walked in and the bell rang.
AN: PM, REVIEW, FAV, ALERT. Whatever you gotta do. Also...any specific couples we wanna see happen? ((Klaine and Brittana are a MUST due to previous fuckery on Glee, though))
