I decided to finish this story that I started years ago. It is slightly AU. It takes place when Emma and Manny were in grade 10. Sean is with Amy, Jay and Alex are just friends and she's already out as a lesbian, Craig is with Ashley. So here is chapter 3. Please review. J


Rylee walked inside Degrassi. She was having trouble finding the office when she spotted Emma again.

"Hey Emma," Rylee called out, "Can you show me where the office is?"

"Sure. Its right this way," Emma answered as she started walking.

Rylee followed Emma to the office.

"Do you want me to go in with you?" Emma asked.

"That'd be great," Rylee responded.

The girls walked into the office and where greeted by the secretary.

"Hi, I'm a new student here so I need my schedule," Rylee explained.

"Name please?" the secretary asked.

"Rylee Adams."

The secretary looked through some papers and handed one to Rylee.

"Emma would you mind showing Rylee to class please? I'll give you both late passes," the secretary asked.

"No problem," Emma answered.

The secretary wrote out passes and sent Emma and Rylee on their way. Once they left the office Emma looked at Rylee's schedule.

"Oh cool, we have the same first period," Emma exclaimed.

The girls went to their first period which was math. They walked in and class had just begun.

"Nice to join us ladies," Coach Armstrong said.

"Sorry coach, Rylee's new here so I went with her to the office to get her schedule," Emma explained while handing him their late passes.

"Well take a seat Emma, and Rylee before you sit why don't you introduce yourself to the class and tell us a little bit about yourself" Coach Armstrong said.

Rylee POV

What am I in kindergarten again?

Rylee let out a small sigh.

"My name is Rylee Adams. I just moved here from Miami, FL, and I'm fifteen," Rylee said before taking a seat next to Emma.

The rest of class was uneventful. A few guys passed Rylee notes but they seemed too young and immature for her experience level. Rylee's next class was also with Emma where she met Emma's friend Manny.

Rylee POV

Manny seems a lot more crazy then Emma. If the two of us team up I'm sure we can get Emma to loosen up a little.

Rylee could not help it. She had a habit of corrupting people and it wasn't going to change just because her parents sent her off to Canada. Second period was coming to an end.

"What class do you have next?" Manny asked Rylee.

"Shop," Rylee answered rolling her eyes. "I wonder how I got stuck with that."

"That sucks. Manny and I have home ec but we'll walk you to class," Emma said.

The bell rang.

"Thanks guys but I think I'll be able to manage," Rylee told them while gathering her things.

"We'll see you later," Manny and Emma said while leaving.
