Disclaimer: I do not own degrassi just the plot line.

Note One: I thought that this was going to be the last chapter but it turns out that this chapter was growing a little long so there will be one more after this for the final chapter. I hope you all enjoy! R & R please.


Peter woke up the next morning just as uneasy as he ahd been the night before. He got ready for school and hoped that a hot shower would relax him a bit. Thankfully it worked; he was not thinking about it that much anymore. That was until he pulled into the parking lot of Degrassi. Half of him want to shove the car into reverse and drive right back to his loft, but he knew that that was not an option. Peter turned off his car and walked up the steps of Degrassi. It was funny how no one really paid attention to him and just went on with their daily lives. No one knew that he had gone on the date with Riley everyone was treating him normally. He became more nervous when he had become aware of this because now he had to put up an act.

He walked into the hallway and found Riley next to his locker, about to open it up. Riley opened it it and his eyes found Peter's and instantly looked down. Peter was expecting this so I t really did not trouble him, which was a good thing because the last thing that Peter needed today was guilt. Peter began to walk up to Riley. With every step he became more nervous. This was something that he had to do though or else his plan would not work. When he had finally reached Riley, he could only mutter one word.

"Hey."

"Hey," said Riley unemotionally as if he did not care about Peter.

Peter not only heard the tone in Riley's voice but also saw that he would not even look at him. Riley just grabbed a book from his bag and stuffed it into his bag and looked back down. Peter's emotions changed in an instant from nervous to angry.

"You know…Just because you're mad at me, doesn't give you the right to treat me like shit," said Peter.

"Fine. What's up?" said Riley flatly.

"Here," said Peter handing him the index cards for their presentation, "I thought it would be easier if you took the middle part of the presentation, since it's shorter, and I'll take the last."

"Fine," said Riley, "If you think that this makes up for it, by giving me a shorter presentation, you're wrong."

Riley looked Peter directly in the eyes this time. There was a cold, seriousness in them. They stared at each other for a couple of seconds but Peter broke the eye contact, by looking down.

"I wasn't expecting you to. I just thought it would be nice," said Peter gaining confidence, "and for what it's worth, I'm sorry. Whatever, you may think, I made that date with you in park 'cause I wanted to. The only thing that Calvin did… was make me realize that I like you."

With those final words Peter turned around and went to his next class. Riley stood at his locker for a second and looked down at the cards. He shook his head, closed his locker, and went to his algebra. Through the next couple of classes Riley's confidence increased. The whole ordeal with Riley had been played perfectly. The only thing he was concerned with now was getting enough nerve during his presentation.

The bell rang for the end of his fourth class and Peter went straight to global History hoping that when he had got there he would be the first student. And to his success he was. Peter went up straight to the teacher and asked him if he could go last in the presentations for the day. He had come up with the excuse that he was extremely nervous and seeing other groups ahead of him present would calm his nerves. The teacher assumed that there was another motive for this time request but agreed. The bell rang for class to begin and everyone filed inside the classroom with Peter already in his seat. Class had begun with groups presenting their given countries. Peter would look around the room and see that riley was staring at him a couple of times and Peter smiled back or quickly looked away. He would also get glances at Mia. Ten minutes until the end of class came and it was their turn to present. Riley, Mia and Peter rose out of their seats and proceeded up to the front of the room.

Mia's part went first, giving a brief history of Greece and about the past rulers of Ancient Greece. Then Riley had presented the cards that Peter had originally come made. Peter's anxiety was increasing with every word that was spoken. His breathing started to increase the farther he had gotten in the speech. Peter was so nervous that he had missed his cue from Riley. He got his focus back on the presentation when Riley elbowed him. Peter looked down to his index cards.

"Uh…yeah…sorry," said Peter, "The role that the ancient Greeks played in their society all depended on who you are. If you were a woman or a child, you had…um…no say in the…government. If you were a man however…um."

Peter flipped the card to the back of the pile, "you had much more say in the government. In fact…uhh…if you were a teenager, uh, you more than likely part of the democracy that took part there,"

"Since when do you get nervous?" whispered Riley, this just made Peter a little more nervous.

"Everybody believes that Caesar was a dictator…but he was actually elected by the people. When he was…stabbed…uh he was actually going to make himself dictator. The men in ancient Greece actually had a lot more say in the government than most people did in ancient times. If you were a women…you, uh…probably would have been better off in another country. If you looked at uh…what the Greeks…uh, thought of the women. You can…um…tell that they didn't really like them, uh thought of them just like…uh, carrying on their legacy by having their children."

At this comment a couple of people laughed mostly the guys. Peter gave a small awkward laugh then made a gesture ending his presentation. The teacher go the point a little late that this was the end of their presentation and after thirty seconds stood up from his desk. Peter however just felt like an eternity passed since this class had begun and then realized that his time was running out. The presentation was over. All he had left was a couple seconds before they reached their seats.

"Thank you very much Peter, Mia, and Riley for the presentation on Ancient Greece. Especially with that nice little quirk at—"

"I think we should break up," blurted out Peter. Peter could not believe that he had just did that. That was what he had planned on doing, breaking up with Mia during the presentation in front of the class so Riley would know for sure that he was done with her, but he didn't want to blurt it out like that. Mia's head turned with her eyes wide in shock.

"What?" whispered Mia.

"I think we should break up," repeated Peter more confidently, but softer so only Mia, Riley, and possibly the teacher and the front row could hear.

"Thank you for the presentation. I'll hand out your grade on Friday. Please take your seats."

All three of them took their seats very slowly each one was for a different reason. Mia was just so stunned and hurt by what Peter had just said and Peter was moving slowly because he was shocked by what he had just done along with what might happen next. Riley was just shocked at what he had just seen and amazed at what Peter was doing. He was actually breaking up with a model , with no intentions of going back, for him. Now he just had to make sure that this was not a ploy set up by Peter so he was going to have to ease drop. Hover once the three got comfortable in their sleep the bell rang and class was over.
