I DON'T OWN DEGRASSI OR THE DIALOGUE
The next evening, I picked Emma up in my 80's Mercedes.
"So, have you heard from Sean?" I asked her.
"Jay told me that he got jumped in prison." Emma replied.
"Shit...is he going to be ok?" Emma shrugged at me. Don't get me wrong, I hated Sean for stealing Emma from me, but I didn't want him to become someone's prison bitch.
"Anyway, I have amazing news."
" Oh really, what is it?"
"You're taking me to the dance."
"Trust me, there's no way you got Hatzilakos to change her mind."
"You're right, but what I did do was suggest a costume ball, a masquerade. So you can be my incognito date." Emma said as she smiled at me. I had to admit, I was impressed.
"Using your student council position for personal gain. You're a real politician." I said as we laughed. She kissed me & I inhaled her scent.
"Honey Vanilla Shampoo."
"Do you like it?"
"I love it, but not as much as I love you." I told her as we made out.
"It kinda feels weird, being in this car after everything that happened." Emma said as she looked down.
"I didn't hit the guy." I replied.
"Don't you feel bad about what happened?" Emma asked.
"Of course I do. The race was my idea, it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for me."
"It's a good thing that guy is ok, huh?"
"Yeah, if he'd died...I don't think I could live with myself." Emma nodded as she kissed my hand.
"I should go." She said.
"Yeah, talk to you tomorrow." I said as she got out. I watched her walk away, feeling melancholy.
The next day, Emma & I went to Sean's court hearing. As we waited, we saw Sean in handcuffs. He had a black eye from being jumped.
"Sean..." Emma said. "You look terrible."
"I tripped...fell...it was nothing." Sean lied. I put my arm around Emma & Sean backed down. "Jay said you weren't coming."
"I wasn't, but I didn't want James to be by himself." Emma replied. They took Sean inside & I followed. We waited for about 15 minutes, but Sean's lawyer didn't show, so the hearing was cancelled. As we walked out, Emma gave us a surprised look. "That was fast." she said.
"My public defender didn't show. He has a back load of charity cases like mine & unless I can get some money for a real lawyer, i'm screwed." Sean replied. As Sean was led away, Emma & I looked at each other.
"We should help him." I told her.
"I didn't want to say anything, but we should." Emma replied.
