Emma sat in her desk as she worked on their business homework.

As she wrote in her binder a note popped onto her desk, all crumpled. She gave a wierd look and looked over her shoulder.

Peter was working but pretending, and smirked a little.

Emma shook her head but smiled and turned back opening it.

PETER

905 364 9483

Emma rolled her eyes, but was still smiling, until her eyes caught the teacher up front giving her a warning look.

Jay had his eyes even a little squinted and glared at Peter behind Emma before looking back down to mark other papers.

Emma gave an odd look. Really? He was that serious of a teacher he didn't like notes passed around? She thought he was a laid back kind of teacher.

"He was probably jealous." Darcy exclaimed to Emma in gym class.

Emma wore her Degrassi blue shorts, that might be TOO short. She hated them, guys passed the field outside just to drool over the girls. Than on top was just a simple white t shirt that laid fitting yet loose on her.

Emma sighed, shaking her head, "It was because I was reading a note Peter slipped me."

"I saw the way you two looked at another!" Darcy exclaimed as Manny was doing stretches beside them and smirked

"Emma are you hot for teacher?" she teased her blonde friend.

"I was." Emma declared loudly the WAS part, and also lied, "But now it can never be.. and that's fine, I understand it. I'm little."

"He's only just 24. Just turned it a few months ago too. That's not bad, that's only 6 years apart.. my parents are 10!" Manny said.

"They also met when she was 25 and he 35.. it's different." Emma muttered, "I'm a girl in highschool while he already went to college and has a steady career."

She didn't like talking about this, for some reason she was pretty down about it. God, was she a little heart breaking school girl or what? She practically pitied herself.

She said she'd be back and went back into school.

She wondered the empty halls and dragged herself like a zombie. She was crushing on Jay, hard.. and the feelings she got around him scared her.. she's been through crushes before..none of them that took her breath away.

Emma stopped at the vending machine and got a water, when she was opening it and turned the corner to walk back down the hall, she bumped into someone, and her water flung a bit over their shirt.

"I am SO-" Emma looked up to see Jay.

Speak of the devil!

"Sorry." Emma went red and bit her lower lip.

He chuckled a bit and shrugged, "Whatever, I only got one more class today and than home sweet home." The way he said it Emma was sure he was doing it to tease her, knowing they'd see more of another when they were done school.

Emma went to nod and tried going around him, she wanted to stop acting like such an idiot when he was around.

"Hey Em." He said, using his old nick name of when she was little.

Emma frowned, even though it caught on and now everyone called her that, it felt like a sting from him. Like she was still little or something.

"You're not as talkative as you were back at the coffee shop." He admitted.

Emma winced and then tried to act normal as she turned and shrugged. God she wished he would forget about that.

"Guess it's wierd now that I know you were my old dorky baby sitter.. and now your.." Emma went red again, jesus, way to be obvious! You can never shut up can you Emma?

"Old?" he joked, thankfully not seeing where she was going to go with that.

More like Hot.

Emma just slightly laughed, "You're not that old." She teased.

He smirked, and Emma found her knees weak. Oh god, defiantly weak.

"Woah." Jay said, catching Emma before she fell into his strong arms. Oh god oh god. Emma tried to balance herself.

Her knees actually gave up! Her breath began to stop, she didn't like this.. this was more than a crush.

"Sorry. I-I was just in gym.. still tired." She lied and he nodded and eyes her gym uniform.

Yeah, slutty, Emma agreed.

"They make you wear that?" he seemed to mutter, eyes still on her body. Emma felt hot and uneasy. He then blinked and looked up at her and she just nodded, "I remember Raditch, kind of a perv more than an asshole." He joked.

Emma raised an eyebrow, "You allowed to say that to a student?" she joked as he started walking past her and away.

He turned and walked backwards for a moment, "You're more than just a student Em." He joked.

Emma's heart skipped.

She watched him until out of sight and exhaled the breath held deeply and tossed her head back. This would be a loooong year.

"This is my last week here." Paige said, making dinner with Ellie and Emma. For once, just the daughters were doing dinner, "This dinner, has to be great."

"For you or for whom?" taunts Ellie, cutting celery. They were making some soup.

Paige couldn't help but smile as she stired something in a bowl. Emma couldn't help but glance up and sneak a glare. Why did Paige think she had a chance with Jay ? She use to treat him so meanly. Did she have a chance?

Jay did use to crush on her.

Emma sadly looked down at the carrots she was suppose to be cutting.

"He's perfect." Paige admitted, "Who knew he's grow up so amazing."

Ellie shrugged, "You heard Dad though, Jay had reputation of being a bit of a player." She said.

Paige rolled her eyes, "So was Matt." She confirmed, "I changed him."

Emma snorted out loudly, fat chance! Matt even was a pig to her, Paige's little sister!

Ellie laughed at that when Paige gave Emma an incredible look, she never spoke up about things like that.

"Okay Miss perfect." Paige said to Emma, "Have you ever changed a man for the better? No, that's right, you just deal with boys."

Emma rolled her eyes, she'd be 18 soon.. maybe she wouldn't have to deal with just those boys anymore. Hope only threw through Emma's mind, thinking of Jay and then shook her head.

"What happened to Kelly anyways?" Ellie asked, "You guys were hot and heavy before the summer."

The back door opened and in came Jay from the guest house, guess on the way he stopped into the pool too and just wore baggy black pants, shirtless, pants tied up and his hip cuts showed off, let alone his lean chest and shoulders, strong arms-

Even Ellie was drooling.

Emma was first to look away, because it hurt to know she didn't have a chance like her sisters did.

"He sucks." Emma muttered, back to Paige's conversation.

Ellie and Paige both smiled to Jay as he came over and raised an eyebrow at Emma, "I suck?" he asked teasingly.

Emma's heart skipped and she tried not to smile as she looked up at him and shook her head as he snuck one of her carrots.

"Her past boyfriends we were talking about." Paige confirmed, eyes still on Jay and Emma scowled, please shut up Paige.

"What about the recent boyfriend?" Jay sounded casually and picked at other carrots.

Ellie tilted her head, "Recent?"

"Emma doesn't have a boyfriend right now." Paige confirmed, and Emma felt completely embarrassed.

Thankyou oldest sister!

Jay even caught Emma scowl and she saw him smirk and chuckle a bit, chewing on his food and she couldn't help but glare at him, and got back to work, ignoring them.

"So cute of you to care though. We missed you around here." Paige declared to Jay, lying through her teeth, Paige could be such a flirt sometimes.

Jay just plastered a grin at her and went back to eyeing Emma cut the carrots.

"So you have nothing serious going with anyone huh?" Paige asked Jay, trying to catch his attention. He looked at her, glanced at Emma, and back to Paige.

Emma was chopping so hard now by the time of that question her knife slipped and she sighed, cutting her finger with the knife as she was chopping carrots.

Ellie snickered seeing it, "I know you wanted to go all out for this dinner Paige but do you think cannablism is too far?" she asked.

Paige glanced at Ellie like she was a freak until ellie nodded to Emma's bleeding finger as the blonde put their kitchen towel around her hand.

"Ew Emma! Not near my feast, go put a bandaid on." Paige shrieked.

Even Jay rolled his eyes and grabbed Emma's hand, it gave Emma a shock of electricity and he pulled her over to the sink, putting on cold water and put her hand underneath, his two fingers held her one index finger.. he held so gently, and looked so determined to help her.

Emma watched him eye her wound, to see how big it was, not too bad, just a deep cut but nothing to go get stitches for.

"Aww how cute" Paige sang, "It's like 8 years ago, Jay baby sitting and rescuing Emma again."

Emma wanted to die. Why did Paige have to do this to her?

Emma took her hand away from Jay and held her finger as she muttered, "I'll go fix it upstairs." And with that she left in a huff.

Jay stood there, the water was still running and Ellie slowly came behind and turned it off as he watched where Emma left. She gave him an odd look but turned it off as Paige put a spoon in her bowl and brought that spoon to Jay.

"Here, taste." She giggled, putting it infront of his face with her other hand under the spoon incase any soup fell.

Emma decided she didn't want dinner tonight, she told her mom she was 'sick' she was getting pretty sick of lying though if that helped at all.

She sighed, walking down the steps, dinner was done and everyone was in there rooms or the tv room, her bet Jay was probably with Spinner.

She needed a breather. She had her towel on as she walked to the back yard, she peeked out of the door first to see if clear.

Clear.

She took off her towel to reveal a silk black tiny bikini, perking her supple breasts and rounding her bum perfectly. Her Dad hated when she wore bikinis but she was a sucker for them.

As she carried her towel she just flung it on the side of the pool and just jumped in. She needed to let out a little scream and while she was under water, no one could hear it. She sighed and swam back up, letting a soft breath out as she tossed her wet hair to the side and ran a hand through her wet hair. She stood so her waist was above the water.

Behind her, to her unnotice yet, Jay leaned on his guest house having a cigarette and tilted his head curiously and then sighed, exhaling hard before he made a light cough to let her know he was here.

..though he would of been happy just staying quiet and watching.

Emma looked over her shoulder hoping that was Spinner and frowned to see Jay, she couldn't escape.

He made that smirk as he spoke, "Late swim?" he asked.

Emma shrugged and just watched her hands sway in the water but ended up nodding.

Jay tilted his head again. Could be something he picked up from her, whenever she got curious or confused she gave the cutest tilt of the head..

He flicked his cigarette and shrugged himself, "I'm comin' in." He declared, taking his shirt off.

Emma's mouth dropped. B-but why?

She squeeked when he just jumped in though and splashed her, he was still wearing his black pants but guess he didn't care. They stood both waist out of the pool, his hair dripping and he just looked perfect from the lights of the pool reflecting off him. He stood rather close.

"You don't like me." Jay declared, running his hand through his wet hair.

Wrong.

Emma shook her head no,giving him an insane look

"You don't like talking to me." He insisted.

Wrong again. Just whenever she opens her mouth she sounds stupid.

"That's not it." She insisted. He took a step closer and Emma gasped in but tried to remain calm.

He looked down at her ever so desperately but his face stayed relax, cold, "What is it then?" he asked.

"There's no it." Emma insisted, breath caught, heart speeding. She felt his eyes burn into hers and then they moved down.

Emma could practically feel her heart beating out of her chest, he was gazing down at her body. Til he seemed to kick himself and look back into her eyes, deeply..

"There isn't?" he asked lowly, almost daringly.

Was this his player side? Emma was scared to know. Maybe she shouldn't even trust him. Maybe he flirts with everyone, and who didn't like a young girl wrapped around his finger?

"Ok." He seemed to start walking off and Emma's mouth dropped, "Just checking." He casually said and got out of the pool tossing a smirk over his shoulder.

Then, he was gone.

Emma shook her head, he was going to kill her soon, by a heart attach she was sure!
