A/N: because the Degrassi writers didn't explain why Alex didn't like Marco, …
I have to do the work…
If you review it, more will come…
Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi or any of its characters, except my views which I have tried to portray in this story, so don't sue me.

Chapter 12: Cheers
The gym was fully crowded.
Jay led us to the only empty seats on the middle bleacher,
This side of the bleacher was especially reserved for Degrassi students.
We squeezed our way to our seats, bumping and stepping on other's feet.
The game had already started and the kids were cheering for their school teams.
"That's Raditch, by the door"
Amy pointed to a guy in a suit who looked very out of place in his formal attire.
"See that chic, that's Emma Nelson,
She's in grade 9;
We call her 'green peace'.
She's dating Sean Cameron, the cute guy next to her."
Amy tried to brief me in on who's who of the school pointing at a blonde chic and her boyfriend…
…then at the cheerleaders who were waiting for the half time so they would do their cheer.
"That's the 'spirit squad' a fancy name for uptight cheerleaders,
Mostly grade 10s;
Most of them are dating guys from the basketball team…"
They're all going to be in your classes.
Be aware of them.
"And that's Marco Del Rossi, he's gay.
He's pretty popular…"
"For being gay?" I interrupted
"No! for being friends with all the popular kids
And he's pretty good at school too
Everyone likes him." Amy revealed
'He was liked by all'
Not anymore…
I refuse to like him…
There goes 'his world record'
Not because he's gay…
I can't care less about that…
But because he's popular.
…May be, I 'am' jealous.
...So what if I am?
I have every right to be jealous.
I know a lot about kids who are the 'so called' popular socialites…
The ones who spend extra time in the library to upgrade that 1 percent mark.
Or the ones who stay in school despite the need of their presence.
The ones who have too much time in their hands.
Because they don't have to work to support themselves.
So they read useless magazines.
They have no worries, well at least not like my kind of worries.
They've planned out their lives from every since they were young children..
And they have parents to attend to their ever financial need.
We had a few at Lakehurst.
A paper cut was the worst thing that could've happened to them…
I detested these kids.
All hunky dory
I knew that I was their exact opposite…
Their nemesis
Like the Newton's third law…
Their equal and opposite…
My existence was as important as theirs to provide the balance,
Like the Yin for the Yang
Jedi and Sith? Sorry I think I went too far
And yet I wasn't appreciated for that.
I despised that.
And I will make sure that the popular kids of this school find out that I exist...
To provide the balance to this universe just by my mere existence.

A reminder… "Lucky chapter 13" is dedicated to all Palex Lovers out there.
It'll be a short chapter but…
… Well it's a start… I apologize for the delay.
I intend to stop for a while after chapter 13.
You know to re-collect my thoughts…
How I want to take it further…
Because my moving inspiration has been taken care of…
I need to find some other to bore you guys with.
Thanks for reading guys.
Love you all.
