A figure started to walk down the halls of Degrassi, everyone took notice, and I mean everyone, like the boys.

Their mouths hung down when the figure walked by, she was always beautiful, but never flaunted it, but now she curled that long blonde hair in beautiful big loose curls, wearing cat liner and a bit of mascaera, those light brown eyes shining as she smiled to passing friends.

It was winter, so it was bold to wear a skirt. But she did it, and owned it. A small black mini skirt, with tall black velvet winter boots, and to end it, a black blazer with white bottons and white outer lining, it wasn't bottoned up, so she wore a white tank top underneath that cut off a bit before her skirt started, showing off those toned little tanned hips.

To end it all, Emma wore a long gold chain necklace with a feather with diamonds on it at the end.

She smirked hearing the whispers and the droppings of boys' drools. And she headed to her locker where Manny and Darcy stood, smirking as well and giggling.

Yup, Emma would make him pay

They met up with her and laughed a little, going to first period class.

It took some time but now you really want to figure out
Just what it is that all the other girls are talkin' 'bout

Jay was leaning back in his chair boredly as school was beginning to start, just waiting for everyone to come in. His feet were on his desk and his arms crossed on his chest. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when to tall black boots clicked and caught his attention, his eyes moved to the front door and up those long tanned legs and they couldn't be any more familiar.

Emma.

His mouth hung a bit as he tried to keep his cool, his mouth twitched a little seeing how short that skirt was. Was that even allowed at school? Let alone letting other boys see her bare beloved little waist.

Emma didn't even look at him, just passed with Manny as the two talked to another, the guys in class whispering to another and nodding at the blonde hottie.

And it's driving you're mama crazy
'Cause daddy's little girl is now my baby

Jay blinked twice when the bell rang and tried to snap out of it, leaning forward and coughing loudly.

Everyone looked up and sat down, thinking him clearing his throat meant class was starting. He just slowly looked around and around at the students who waited for him to start, he just shook his head and kind of waved them off, they began chatting loudly again.

Jay tried not to look at Emma who smirked with victory in her seat.

I think you're ready baby
I think you're ready baby
Come on and get it baby
I think you're
I think you're

Jay went around the class a bit later on after the announcements, putting the papers he held in his hand on everyones desk.

"He's totally smitten." Manny had to whisper before he came around and Emma tried to hide her smile and blush.

Emma crossed her long legs and leaned back on her seat, waiting for her test.. when really this was his test.. and it was more than amusing watching Jay Hogart squirming, for her.

She had no idea she had this power over him.

He was at Manny now and then looked at Emma while he passed. Since she was leaned back, her arm was out so she could tap her pencil a bit on her desk, waiting.

She tried to hide her smirk as he gave her his best, 'I'm not impressed' look.. which actually turned into quite the smoldering lustful look when she took the test from him and leaned forward, getting straight to work, biting the top end of her pencil like it deep though.

She swore she heard him growl a bit and walk on, she giggled softly and got to work.

You've always followed all the rules
Done just what you're supposed to
Stick the key in the ignition and light it up
Have a taste of what it's like to be old enough
Move your body baby let me see you work it
Looking at you make me wanna blow a circuit

"His mouth literally dropped." Manny said while in the their cafeteria giggling with the girls.

Jane groaned, "Wish I could of saw it. Nothing he doesn't deserve! Go Emma!" she cheered.

Emma laughed a little and shook her head, she wasn't totally sure if it really looked but the face on him was priceless, she'd love to see it again and again.

"Oh god, look whose coming." Whispered Darcy and Emma looked over her shoulder to see the one and only Jay hogart on his way over.

Or maybe he was just passing through?

"Good afternoon Jay." Purred Heather Sinclair.

Emma turned back to her table as she watched them and rolled her eyes until she felt a strong arm go around her arm and a warning voice.

"Come with me." Jay told her demandingly.

Emma looked up at him and gave him a wierd look, "Why?" she ttaunted, raising her perfectly shaped eyebrow.

Jay looked..well, pissed.

"That or principles office. Now, Emma." He wasn't playing and Emma rolled her eyes but got up, he didn't even take his hand off her arm until she yanked it off and they shared a glare as they walked out of the cafeteria, almost every student watching them.

"Cute." Manny said back at the table and the girls bursted back into laughter.

"Anddddd the games are back." Darcy confirmed, pleased.

Meanwhile, Emma was pulled into Jay's class and he slammed the door closed, storming around her until at his desk and grabbed clothes and pushed them into her.

"Put these on." He growled.

Emma didn't take them though and shrugged, "No." She simply said.

His eyes were filled with such anger and he clenched his teeth but said sternly and as calm as he could, "Emma I'm not your family's friend right now, or yours, I'm your teacher, and I'm telling you to put it on or you can go home."

His blue eyes were so cold, looking back at her, all serious. Emma didn't back down, fire in her eyes as well.

"Well I probably wouldn't go home, I'd probably just go to a friends house or something." She honestly said, "Besides, you're the only teacher complaining."

"For fuck sakes Emma, put them on!" he yelled shoving it at her and she grabbed them to throw them on the ground.

"No!"

"You want those losers gawking at you like that?" he snapped viciously and jealously, "Cause really, that's not you." he insisted, softening a little.

"Maybe it is now, what would you know?" she taunted him and he clenched his jaw looking away from her.

He looked back and said, "I know you." Emma tried to ignore the skip of her heart beat.

"No you don't." Emma denied, shaking her head then snickered, "What happened to this No Talking to me thing?"

Jay's eyes seemed to blink off of her like bringing up those words from that night was something he did not want to talk about.

"It's not like that. This is.. school purpose reason." He insisted after a pause.

Emma slowly nodded and said, "Well til I hear my Dad or the principle complaining, WITHOUT you going to them and making it worse, I'm going to stay dressed like this." She went to turn.

"Like a slut?" he snapped madly, and shut his mouth quick, not believing he blurted that out either as she whipped around back to him.

His mouth fell a bit and her eyes were almost watering until she glared madly at him and stormed out.

"Emma!" he yelled and tried to chase her, she slammed the door behind her and her long legs quickly walked down the hall before he could catch up.

He sighed running his hand through his hair and pulled it a little, shutting his eyes and his class door again and kicked a trash can harshly.

He fell into his desks chair and sat their, emotionlessly, glancing back where she left now and then.

"Emma why are you looking so down?" Manny asked, watching the blonde sadly go through her phone the next day in third.

First period, Emma and Jay didn't even look at another.

Emma just shook her head.

Darcy and Jane had this class with them and nodded agreeing, "It totally worked!"

"And you're looking hella fine today too I must say." Insisted Jane.

Emma just smiled weakly and Manny sat behind her so saw what was going through her phone.

"Emma, you're getting like 100 offers to the dance!" she exclaimed, grabbing her phone.

Darcy gasped and leaned over, "Oh my god, you are! Chester even asked oh my god." She blushed herself, he was the cutest boy ever!

Emma just shrugged, mind on something else and eyes on her desk sadly.

Today she a wore a black high waisted skirt with a white tank top and silver chain necklace of a flower, with nice red lace highheels. A bit, calmer than yesterday but still sexy but not.. in Jay's words: Slutty.

Emma walked to her locker as Jay was coming down the other way, her fourth period was free so she was alone and went to turn the other way when she saw him but when she turned she bumped into Chester.

"Em, hey." He greeted with a smile.

Emma uneasily grinned back, knowing Jay was coming up from behind.

Chester cleared his throat and said, "So listen, the dance-"

"Yeah." She answered quickly, just nodding, hopefully Jay had heard it and Chester smiled, "I'll go with you."

"Dope." He said and clapped his hands together before pointing at her, "Pick you up at 8 on Friday?"

Emma nodded and then saw Jay passing them, not even turning his head, she glared holes into his back before smiling up at Chester.

Emma went home and threw her bag down on the ground tiredly.

As she went to the kitchen Paige stood in she blinked and looked around, "What are you doing here?" she asked, she just left a few weeks ago after Christmas.

Didn't her job back in Florida get a little mad by all the time she took off to visit?

"I moved back!" Paige said excitingly, throwing her arms up in the air.

Emma blinked and tried to muster an awkward grin as Paige squeeled, "Greeeat." Emma sang.

Paige ugh'd, "I just gotta stay with the fam jam until I find my own apartment again." She explained.

Emma slowly nodded and went upstairs. She had a long day as it was.. she didn't need more.

"I don't get a hug!?" Paige called after.

Emma worked with Darcy the following day, and the Dot wasn't so busy so Emma sat up on the counter as Darcy leaned on it and for once, Emma didn't run to go tell Manny, she told Darcy about what Jay said.

"I feel like if I told Manny she might run up and punch him." Emma joked weakly but didn't laugh.

Darcy's mouth hung, "Hell Emma, I'd go punch him! He had no right!" she yelled.

Silence.

"Though.. it's very obvious he was livid and jealous." Darcy snickered.

Emma put her hands in her laps and sadly played with her fingers, "Didn't have the right to call me that.." she tried to keep her tears in.

Why did everything just back fire between the two of them?

Darcy saddened, "Don't cry. This weekend, will be fun. Drama free! Have fun with Chester. Maybe.. maybe this whole Jay thing was a mistake.." Darcy drifted, shrugging slowly.

"You think I am too young for him?" Emma asked, her voice cracking a bit.

Darcy shook her head no but then sighed and looked away, "I think you're on different levels is all right now. Someone is just going to end up hurt." She said.

Emma looked down, that already happened. And drama free? That'll be the day.

Friday came quick, and Emma stood infront of the mirror, she wore a U shaped tank topped dress, it was pearl white and had a black bow around her upper waist, below the bow, the pearl color turned to black and the dress hugged tightly on her body but flowed just after her thigh and stopped right above her knee.

She decided classy and beautiful instead of sexy, if Chester didn't like that, then she didn't care. She was going to be herself.

She put her hair into a side updo, little pieces falling out of a bun and shaped around her face. Only masacara to bring out her eyes and natural beauty.

"Emma! You ready?" Came her mothers voice and she sighed and turned, grabbing her little leather clutch and went out.

As she opened her room door, Paige came out of her old room, wearing a very sexy dress, it was strapless, vintage looking almost and blood red. It made her hour glass body look droolable and to top it she wore smokey eye shadow and her long blonde hair pinned straight.

Emma swallowed hard, she can only imagine why Paige was doing this.

Paige just smiled at her, not knowing Emma had a clue and explained, "Jay is one of the teachers who have to chaperon the dance, so he asked me to accompany him." She giggled.

"He did?" Emma asked, slowly nodding and trying to be strong, but wanted to run back into her room and cry.

"Yes." Paige said proudly and winked, "Told you it'd work, who can resist Paige Nelson?"

"I guess nobody." Emma bittered and stormed down the stairs.

"Emma!?" came Paige's call, completely confused by the smack down. Emma just ignored as she saw her parents peeking out the window.

"Emma! I think your dates here!" called Snake not knowing she was behind them.

"Oh.. you're not going with Peter?" Spike asked Emma, seeing her and Snake turned quickly, trying not to look snoopy.

Emma shook her head as Paige came down the steps, "They broke up."

"How would you even know anything?" Emma asked.

"Jay told me." Paige said with a shrug.

Emma scowled, and clenched her fists, how would Jay even know? Well, the day after everyone would not shut up about it.. but why did he have to tell Paige? And when did he talk to Paige? And were they really getting flirty and close?

Emma wanted to just give up on tonight, she didn't want to go but Snake had already opened the door for Chester.

"Evening Mr. S" Chester greeted, and Snake nodded, smiling a little. He knew the kid from school, not bad.

Chester turned and saw Emma, his mouth dropping. Emma swallowed hard, wondering if he took back asking her to the dance because she was no more flaunting her body and showing her parts.. tonight, was cute beautiful elegant emma.

He seemed to crookedly grin though and breathed breathlessly, "You look amazing." He insisted.

Emma actually blushed, oh, wasn't expecting that.

There was a sound of a honk and Paige flew by them grabbing her winter jacket, "Later!" she called and slammed the door shut as she ran out.

Snake gave everyone looks, "Where's she going?" he asked as the door opened and in came Spinner.

"She's going to the dance as well." Spike answered her husband, and beamed, "Jay asked her."

"Jay just honked and didn't come in? Unusual." Snake admitted, and emma bit the end of her tounge.

Spinner laughed taking off his coat full of snow, "What's unusual is he asked her."

"Spinner!" snapped Snake, it wasn't nice to make fun of his sister.

"You know we always wanted those two to hook up." Spike declared and gushed, "Maybe they'll get married one day."

Emma was trying hard not to cry, not to scream, she was getting dizzy and just wanted to puke.

Spinner looked at Emma and asked oddly, "Hot date?"

"School dance." Chester answered for her as Emma yanked his hand. They were going to this dance.

"Lets go." Emma bittered and shut the door after them

Her parents shared looks and then blinked, looking at Spinner who just grinned.

"Who wants to play sherades tonight?" he asked.

"Spinner.." Snake drifted trying to hint to his son they wanted an 'alone' night but just sighed and left.

Spike laughed and kissed her sons cheek, and followed after Snake.
