I DON'T OWN DEGRASSI OR THE DIALOGUE

After Emma's first meeting with Terri, she didn't speak to me for a solid week. Rick could tell that something was going on between us, but we wouldn't tell him. Meanwhile, Emma kept pining over the blonde dude, who I learned was Peter Stone. I didn't care for the guy, he seemed really stuck up & on top of that, he was taking Emma from me. I just didn't get what she could see in a guy like him.

1 night, as I was chilling in the Murray's guest room, which for now was my room, Rick came in.

"Are you going to the party at Peter's tonight?" he asked.

"Hell no." I replied, "Why would I want to go to Peter Stone's lame ass party." Rick however kept going on about it.

"I would go but 1. I don't care for most of the people there & 2. I wasn't invited." I nodded. Rick had managed to make his peace with Jimmy, but everyone else kept their distance.

"Have you heard from Paige lately?" Rick asked.

"Yeah, we talked in the hall, she said she was glad that I was doing better." I said, remembering when i'd seen Paige in the halls.

"You think there's something there?"

"Not likely, she's way too materialistic for me, we're better off as acquaintances." I told him. "Besides, I've got my eye on someone else." I was thinking of Emma.

The next day at school, I was in for a surprise, we all were. I was in Media Immersions with Snake when Rick came up to me.

"James, have you checked your e-mail?" he asked.

"No." I replied. I looked at my e-mails & saw 1 from Peter Stone. It was a video of Manny Santos, exposing her boobs on camera.

"I'm going to be, like academy award winning. & you can sell this for a million dollars, cause i'm going to be FAMOUS!" She said as she took her top off. By the way she was talking, she was probably plowed.

"Who knew Manny was such a slut?" Rick asked.

"I didn't." The whole rest of the day continued with people talking about Santos the slut. When school finally got out for the day, I got a call from Emma.

"Hey Emma." I said.

"Can you come over?" she asked.

"Is this about the video?"

"You saw that?"

"I don't know anyone who hasn't." Emma gave me a huge sigh. "I'll be there." I told her.

"Thank you." She said as I hung up.
