NEXT CHAPTER: Against All Odds

"I don't even care." laughed Sean to some friends inside of class.

He was walking to his seat before he bumped into Emma.

What was on his neck? Was that a... hickey?

Emma looked away and Sean covered his neck awkwardly and walked away. She went into her seat and he to his as Mrs Kwan went on with class.

"Sean?" she asked, snapping Sean out of his thoughts and he looked up "Is he relevent?"

"Revelent? Shakespears an old dead white guy from 100 years ago. What's he know about my life? Nothing." Sean said and some people in class agreed.

"Anyone else?" Mrs Kwan asked and someone raised their hand, "Chris."

"I loved it. It was about betrayl, loyalty, jealousy, and power." he explains with amusement.

"Good I'm glad you liked the book." Mrs Kwan said with a smile and he nodded.

"Well unlike my mansome Shady over there, I actually read it." taunted Chris and shared a glare with Sean.

Emma smiled a little and snuck a glance at Chris.

"He said that? To you?" Jay asked Sean during lunch at the lockers. Sean was telling him about Chris Sharpe, that little punk.

"Stupid wanna be DJ. Emma was listening and everything." Sean growled.

"Emma?" Amy asked cluelessly.

"Nothing." Sean lied. Maybe this wasn't the best time to bring up his ex.

Meanwhile, Emma and Manny bumped into Chris and he greeted, "Emma. What's up? Hey Manny."

"You were really good in class today Chris." Emma insists.

"Thanks Emma." he smiled and laughed. He waved goodbye and went into his next class.

Manny teased in Emma's ear, "Oh lala. DJ Sharpe, aka Chris' cousin, he's playing at the rave tonight. He always lets Chris do some music."

"You guys snuck here?" Chris yelled over the music at the rave. Emma had let Manny dress her up, well... like her. It was sort of uncomforable. "Em! Come up." he said and she smiled going.

Meanwhile, the people were dancing all around but two bad boys stuck out. Sean and Jay.

"What are we doing here? This is not our type of rave." Sean said.

"Buddies in the back of the stage. Just go tell him this is from Jay." Jay said, handing Sean a bag.

"Drugs?!" Sean freaked.

Jay frowned and informed, "I'm not a dealer, my friend just asked me to deliever this once." he said and Sean gave him a look and he begged, "Please man? They know me back there, they won't let me in."

"Fine. Be right back." Sean said and turned, going over until bumping into someone and stared, "Manny."

"Sean. Don't you dare say a word." Manny warned, seeing him eye her new clothes and look.

"Got it." Sean insisted, raising his hands in the air for defence and left.

Back with Jay, he was boredly looking around but let some girls flirt with him. Until one girl on stage behind the DJ stood out, Emma.

"Cool jam!" Emma told Chris who looked at her and nodded. "Jam?" Emma said to herself and rolled her eyes.

Emma stepped back and that's when, accidently, she stepped on the off botton of a power cord and everything died out. The music, the lights, everything was down. Everyone started complaining. Jay looked at Emma on stage who looked completely guilty and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She would be the one to do something like that.

"Emma!" Chris explained with a laugh "You turned off the power." he turned it back on and everyone cheered.

"Chris I am so sorry!" Emma exclaimed.

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it." he laughed putting his arm around her shoulder.

"Chris!" a girl yelled and he took his arm off.

Chris looked down and at Emma, "Um. Emma... this is my girl friend, Melinda." and that's where Emma frowned deeply. His what?

As Emma went off the stage, Jay met up with her with still a big grin on his face and she closed her eyes when she saw him. Great! More humilation.

"You don't have to tell me, I know I'm a huge dork." she exclaimed squishing through the crowd as he followed her.

"No, that was friggen adorable." Jay oddly confessed.

"So humilating, I unplugged all the power!" she cried

"You could do worse, trust me. I know." he teased

"Shut up!" she yelled at him, hitting his arm as hard as she could.

How even more adorable! It didn't hurt him one bit.

"What are you doing here anyways?" Emma asked him.

"I didn't know he had a girl friend!" Manny exclaimed, running over to the two. Wait, why was Jay with Emma Nelson?

"Your after Wanna be DJ?" Jay asked Emma, kind of in disgust. Why him!?

"I'll go get us some water." Manny told her and left.

"He has a girl friend doesn't he?" Jay asked and Emma just raised an eyebrow. Jay laughed, "Your not the type of girl."

"You have no idea who I am Jay!" Emma yelled, sick of people thinking she was .

"You won't do it." he said. More like, he hoped she wouldn't.

But Emma took that as a challange. Why did everyone think she was a little girl? Why did Jay think she was predictable or something?! She'll show him.

"Thought you might be thirsty." Chris said coming over to them and Jay glared as he handed Emma a water.

"Can we go somewhere else?" Emma asked, eyes on Jay until turning to Chris.

"Pff.." Jay sneered, watching the two walk away together.

Emma whiped her tears and climbed into her bedroom window. She couldn't do it.

Chris admitted into liking her and they even kissed but she ran like a scared cat. She couldn't help it.

Jay was right, she wasn't the type of girl, and she was glad. She couldn't be like that!

"Manny!" Emma exclaimed finding her best friend who left her stranded at the ravine, now in her bed with Craig. "You left me so you can come back here with Craig?!"

"I'm sorry!" Manny cried out when Craig jumped out of bed.

"I got to go." he raced out.

"Emma." Manny said when Emma grabbed a pillow and blanket and dropped it on the floor.

Emma glared at her and just lied down.

"Emma I said I was sorry okay?" Manny cried and Emma clenched her teeth.

"Quiet. You'll wake up my parents!" she said and turned her back on her. Manny frowned and laid back in bed but couldn't sleep.

That week, Emma and Manny's friendship got worse. Manny declared she didn't wanna be friends with a prude princess and Emma said she didn't want to be friends with the school slut. Whats next?!

Next on Degrassi, the episode Never Gonna Give You Up. Are Emma and Sean going to try and be friends? Is Jay jealous?
