Chapter 10 Headlines
Imogen woke up to the sound of her alarm clock going off she shut her alarm clock and took a quick shower.
Twenty minutes later Imogen came out of the shower and picked out a matching black rocker shirt with black camouflage pants and black combat boots.
She went down to the kitchen where she found Natalie getting ready to go to work.
"Morning mom".
"Morning Imogen do you have any plans today?"
"Mom today's my press conference did you forget?"
"Oh that's right your uncle and aunt will be at Degrassi and I think cousin Vanessa and her girlfriend Sandy are going to be there as well."
"Well that's cool I'll just grab a shake and head out to Fiona's Ill see you later mom".
Imogen grabbed her jacket and keys and went to her car.
Twenty minutes later Imogen found her way up to Fiona's loft where she was greeted by Anya.
"Hey Anya wheres my angel this morning?"
"She talking to my spitfire in her room."
"Alright so do they suspect anything?"
"Not a thing."
Just as Anya said that Fiona walked out of her room in a low cut red shirt showing off her abs and low cut blue jeans and brown cowboy boots.
"Ms Coyne I'm hoping your going to bring that crazy beautiful body to me". Imogen said flirting.
"Of course babe" Fiona shot back.
"Alright you two don't make separate you". Anya quipped as Holly J walked out in a denim skirt blue shirt and white sneakers.
"Anya I know your not telling Fiona and Imogen to relax after the marks you left on me last night."Holly J said.
The group laughed at the whole exchange.
"Guys as much as we would love to stay with you we have class". Fiona said as she grabbed a muffin for herself and Imogen and headed to Imogen's car.
"Imogen are you ready for this afternoon?"
"Of course I am babe".
"Alright cool I got a text from Paige she said the press conference is all set for 12:00, shes meeting us outside in the parking lot afterwords.
Ill call my family to be there, by the way your going to meet my cousin Vanessa and her girlfriend Sandy."
"So I'm meeting more members of your family sweet".
While they were stuck in traffic Fiona had drifted to thinking about the Anya's bag she had seen on the night table in Anya's room the previous night.
"Immy babe what did you have to do yesterday that stopped you from coming into school?"
"Oh nothing I just had to see my aunt and uncle to deal with something."
"Okay" Fiona said not wanting to press the issue now.
When they finally made it to school they noticed Eli and Clare on the front steps.
"Hey Eli Clare whats up." Imogen greeted.
"Hey Imogen Fiona." both greeted in unison.
"So you guys enjoy the starlight ball last night?" Eli asked.
"Yeah we had fun". Imogen replied.
"We noticed the front of the school is being put together why is that?" Clare asked.
"Its for the press conference for our signing with Paige and Alex's fashion company".
"Oh congrats you guys" Clare said.
"Thanks Clare." Fiona replied.
"Guys we have to get to class Eli pointed out."
Just as the four of them headed to class Clare happen to see Ali coming up the stairs in low cut jeans and a tight dark blue shirt.
Clare was only snapped out of her trance by Ali calling her name.
"Hey Ali you say something?" Clare asked.
"Yeah Clare I asked if you got the pictures I emailed you for the blog."
"Oh yeah I did sorry I just zoned out."
"Clare you okay you've been kind of off lately whats up?"
"Nothings up why would you think that?"
"No reason if you need to talk again just text me and Ill meet up with you later." Ali said as she left.
Fiona and Eli turned back to see Clare looking worried as she walked right by them.
"Eli was it me or did Clare walk by you without saying bye?" Fiona asked as she sat down with Imogen in her first class.
"Nope that just happened shes been acting crazy around me for a couple of weeks now actually."
"Really like how?" Fiona asked.
"Like when I try to be affectionate with her its like shes being distant".
"Come to think about it for the last couple weeks I've been feeling like we don't click like we use to".
"So what are you saying Eli?" Imogen asked.
"I'm saying I think its time for me and Clare to break up."
"Eli are you sure?" Fiona asked shocked.
"Yeah I am I think its best for us both."
After Eli said that it took Fiona all of five minutes to put what she had seen in the hall way between Ali and Clare together with Eli's information.
When she was about to tell Imogen her teacher had walked in and started class.
Fiona could not concentrate the whole class when the bell finally did ring she pulled Imogen down the hall into the study hall room.
"What give Fiona?" Imogen asked puzzled.
"Eli is going to break up with Clare, and I think Clare is crushing on Ali."
"Fiona slow down what are you talking about?"
"Eli said Clare has been acting distant and he feels they don't click anymore."
"Wow so its over between them."
"I guess so Immy but we cant say anything."
"I know Fiona lets just get through our last classes and this press conference and hope for the best."
Fiona and Imogen got through their last couple classes without any drama and headed out to the front of Degrassi to wait for Paige and Alex.
When they got to the parking lot they over heard Eli and talking.
"Clare I have something to tell you." Eli said in a mono tone.
"Eli I have something to tell you."
"On three we can say it together." Eli said.
"Okay one two three" they said in unison.
"I think we should break up".
"Clare I feel that we just don't click anymore so I hope we can still be friends".
"Eli as crazy as this sounds I was thinking the same thing and to answer your question yes we can still be friends".
Imogen and Fiona were shocked at how well they both took the break up.
Eli and Clare headed off to the front of Degrassi which was already full of reporters and students.
Paige and Alex got through the security and went to the podium while Imogen and Fiona met up with Imogen's family along with Holly J and Anya.
"Fiona I'd like you to meet my uncle Frankie aunt Theresa my cousin Vanessa, and her girlfriend Sandy".
"Nice to meet you all". Fiona said shaking everyone's hands.
"Everyone this is my girlfriend the angel I call Fiona Coyne."
"Imogen I have to hand it to you Fiona is stunning". Vanessa commented.
"Thanks V Ill see you guys later we have to go up and meet our bosses."
Paige stepped up to the mic.
"Hey Degrassi for those of you that don't know me I'm Paige Nunez and this beauty next to me is my wife and co owner of Red Phoenix designs Alex Nunez we are proud to announce that we have signed two new fashion icons it is my honor to introduce Fiona Coyne and Imogen Moreno the newest members of the Red Phoenix family.
Applause erupted from the crowd.
After answering a few questions from reporters Imogen pulled Paige and Alex over to the side while Fiona hung out with Holly J Anya and Imogen's family in the parking lot.
"Paige Alex I was wondering if you guys knew of a good I restaurant where me and my friend Anya and I could have dinner and purpose to our girlfriends?
Alex looked at Paige and nodded.
"As a matter of fact Imogen we do". Alex replied.
"Where?" Imogen asked.
"Well Imogen Alex and I own a restaurant that over looks the falls in the middle of Toronto you and your friend can propose to your girlfriends on the roof top deck in the shadows of the falls". Alex said.
"Here's the address just let us know a few hours before so we can set up." Alex said as she handed Imogen the address on a card.
"Thank you so much guys your awesome." Imogen said excited.
Imogen walked back to her car and text Anya.
Got the perfect spot for our dual surprise.
As soon as she got back to the car she winked at Anya and drove off with Fiona.
"Babe whats got you excited?" Fiona asked.
"All I'm saying is prepare to make headlines baby." was all Imogen said as Fiona was left to wounder what was in store for her.
