Disclaimer: If you watch Degrassi then you KNOW I don't own it. I mean Degrassi would be funnier if I did and would suck less.

So some people say that when you haven't gotten laid for awhile and then you finally do you have this glow. I've never believed that before until now. My best friend is defiantly glowing right now and she has this huge grin on her face.

"Heeeey," she says cheerfully.

"Oh my God," I whisper. "You totally had sex with Paige."

"What?!?"

I start laughing. "Don't try to deny it. It's written ALL OVER your face. Maybe if you weren't grinning so hard you could hide it better."

Alex tries to set her face straight but it just breaks out into a grin again. "Fine, I'll admit it."

"Well, how was it?"

Alex lets out a huge sigh. "Amazing. Absolutely amazing."

I close my locker. "Well congratulations. Now wipe that grin off your face or else EVERYONE will know u got down and dirty with Paige."

Alex and I walk down the hallway and find our girlfriends in the foyer.

"Hi sweetie," Paige says to Alex. I can't help but chuckle. Alex hits my arm.

"Hey," Alex says to Paige.

I sit down next to Beth. "Good morning," I say.

"Good morning," Beth says and kisses me.

"Hmm. It's true what they say. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day."

"Wow. That was really lame," Alex says.

"You stay over there with your girlfriend and I'll stay over here with mine." I wrap my arm around Beth's waist as she smiles at me.

"So, we graduate in three weeks!" Paige says excitedly. Paige looks around and notices how no one else is cheering with her. "Anyone else excited besides me?"

"How can you be excited when we have exams next week?" Alex groans.

Just then Heather Sinclair walks past us wearing a belly shirt. I think I'm going to puke.

"Oh my God," Alex says.

"Will someone please send Heather Sinclair a memo that belly shirts are out?"

"As if they were ever a good idea for Ms. Tellatubbie anyways." We all laugh at her comment.

"Alex you're like the vinegary dressing on the dull salad of my life." Wow, that was actually a pretty good simile. See I know terms, there's a reason why I have an A in Kwan's class.

Hazel appears in front of us, like magic. "And hearing the word dull, Hazel magically appears," Alex says.

"Alex," I warn her. Has anyone else noticed that we haven't seen that much of Hazel in the past two months? Sort of weird.

Hazel chooses to ignore Alex's comment and focuses her attention on Paige.

Paige sort of gives Alex a look and then focuses on Hazel. "Hi Hon," she says.

"Hey Paige," Hazel says. "Anything exciting in your mailbox?"

"It's very lonely. Filled only with the sound of my increasing panic."

"Gosh if I don't get into the university or sorority of my choice I'll just die!" Alex says dramatically. I smack my forehead and then shake my head. Oh lord, here we go again.

"See you in bio," Hazel says and then walks away.

"Hope the lesson's about becoming interesting on the cellular level 'cause Hazel really needs it," Alex says.

"Watch and learn how Alex messes up once again by saying something stupid," I whisper to Beth.

"Everything is always a game to you," Paige tells Alex.

"Keeps life interesting," Alex says and gives Paige a smile.

"Well some things do actually matter," Paige says in a serious tone. "Some people matter, at least to me."

You see Alex's face kind of fall. Alex looks down at the ground and then back up at Paige. She knows she's in trouble.

"Hazel's one of them and you need to be nicer to her." Paige gets up and leaves.

Alex sort of shakes her head; she knows she's in trouble. Alex then looks at me with questioning eyes.

I sigh. "You know what you need to do," I tell her. She continues looking at me. "Go find Hazel and fix the problem," I say slowly, to make sure she understands.

Alex groans. "Ugh, fine." Then she gets up and leaves.

"And now Alex will go "fix" the problem, screw up, then I'll have to help her, and then she resolve everything in her own Alex way," I tell Beth.

"Is she that predictable?"

"No. This just happens a lot."

After School:
I walk through my front door and the smell of cake hits me. Not just any kind of cake though. It smells like vanilla cake with milk chocolate frosting. Mmmm. Weird though because my mom only fixes cake on special occasions and it's not my birthday.

I enter the kitchen and see my mom hold a cake while Brian is waving a giant foam finger in the air. Wait, they're both wearing garnet and gold. Brian brings something from around his back, a big envelope with the Florida State seal on it.

"I got in?" I ask excitedly.

"Open it," he says.

I take the envelope from his hands and rip it open. "Dear Jordan Johnson, it is my pleasure to inform you that you have been ACCEPTED TO FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY!" I started jumping up and down. "I GOT IN! I GOT IN! I'M A NOLE!"

My parents start cheering. "WHOO! SHE GOT IN! SHE GOT IN!"

My mom puts the cake down and grabs Brian's hands. Now they're dancing in a circle singing, "Our baby got into college. Our baby got into college."

"I did it!" I yelled.

I pull my phone out of my pocket and call Beth.

"Hey you," Beth answers.

"Babe! I got in! I got into Florida State!"

"Congratulations. I'm so proud of you."

I smile into the phone. "It's just a matter of time before you get your acceptance letter and then we can get a dorm room together suite style. Just you and me," I whisper the last part.

"Number one, you have a very dirty mind. Number two; are your parents in the same room as you?"

"Yes, yes they are."

Beth laughs. "Well go back to your celebrating and I'll see you tomorrow."

"Kay, bye." I hang up the phone. I turn and look at my parents. "Who's a Florida State Seminole?"

"You are!" they both cheer.

Next Day:
Alex and I are standing outside of the yearbook room.

"I can't do this," Alex says.

"Yes you can. You're just choosing NOT to."

Alex turns and looks at me. "Please don't make me do this," she says with pleading eyes.

"Remember that smile you had on your face yesterday morning? Well if you ever want that smile again you're going to have to make peace with Hazel." I push Alex inside. "Go." Toby gets up from the seat next to Hazel and Alex sits down in it.

Hazel looks at Alex and Alex crosses her arms. Please God, don't make Alex do anything stupid.

"Sorry Alex. You actually have to participate to get in the yearbook," Hazel tells her.

Alex rolls her eyes and sighs. "And the vicious insult club doesn't count?"

"What do you want?"

"I think we should hang out." Just looking at her face while she said that, I know it was hard for her.

"Uh sarcasm association doesn't get you into the yearbook either."

"We don't have to be best friends or even friends. I'll settle for acquaintances. Acquaintances who don't kill each other. So what do you say?" Hazel looks like she's thinking about it.

"Why don't we all go out? Get loaded, get into some trouble." Oh yeah, because Hazel definitely wants to do that.

Toby appears from around his computer. "I could do up some fake ID's," he says. "Take you ladies on a pub crawl." Really Toby, really.

"Nice try," Alex whispers.

Fail, epic fail.

" Or we could go shopping," Hazel says, bringing the attention back to her. "You, me, and Paige at the mall. There's a big sale on!"

Alex scratches her head. She hates to shop. EVERYONE knows that. "You're really gonna make me work for this, aren't you?" Alex asks.

Hazel smiles at her. "You bet. See you at 4:30," she says cheerfully.

Alex gets up from her seat and flicks Toby's ear on her way out.

"See, that wasn't so hard," I say.

"Ugh, someone kill me."

Later That Afternoon:
What's the best thing about having a girlfriend? Making out with that girlfriend, which is exactly what I'm doing right now.

Beth pulls away and I groan in frustration. "Either your phone is vibrating or you have a surprise for me in your pocket," she says.

I pull out my phone and look at the caller ID. Alex

"It's just Alex, I can pick it up later." I lean in but Beth leans away.

"Answer it."

"Ugh." I flip my phone open. "I hope this is good, Alex."

"Hey, I need you to pick me up," she says.

"What? I thought you were with Paige and Hazel."

"Yeah, well about that. To make a long story short I'm in mall security and I need you to pick me up."

This ruined moment has been brought to you by the soon-to-be-dead Alex Nuñez.

"Fine," I say angrily into the phone and hang it up. I look at Beth. "I have to go pick up Alex, she's in mall security for some reason. Ya know, you could do with me and we could continue this in the car." I raise my eyebrows in a flirtatious manner.

Beth laughs. "As much as I would love to, it's time for me to go home anyway and do some homework." I pout sad face. "Babe, we have tomorrow." Beth gives me a quick kiss. "Call me later."

"K!" God damn Alex.

The Mall:
I go to mall security and knock on the door. One of the fake cops answers it. I see Alex sitting in the chair.

"I came to pick her up," I grumble while pointing to Alex.

"She's all yours," the mall cop says.

Alex and I are walking to my car now. I slam my door shut and look at her. "Is there a reason why you felt the need to ruin my nice little moment with Beth?"

"Well you see, Hazel and I sort of got into a fight." Alex says.

"Well, judging by your appearance Hazel must really suck at fighting because I don't see any scratched or bruises on your oh so lovely face."

"It was more like a throwing-the-clothes-at-each-other kind of fight."

I throw my head back and groan. "Spill, now!"

"Hazel started it. It's not my fault she's a bitch."

"Just tell me what happened."

"Hazel was picking out all these clothes for Paige that just weren't right for Paige. So I picked out something and Hazel asked me if I could even afford the clothes. Then she said that fashion isn't exactly what my type does well and I know she meant lesbian by that."

"SERIOUSLY! ALEX! Hazel could have meant ANYTHING by that! Not necessarily lesbian.

"Well doesn't matter because then I was going to try on a blazer but then Hazel made some smartass comment. She was so being jealous of me and Paige so I asked her how long she's wanted to kiss Paige."

WOAH! It's like someone just hit me with a brick. "You did not ask her that."

"What?!? It's true thou. You had to be there."

"Continue."

"So then Hazel said gross and then she was like, "And BTW, Paige used to be straight until you came along and turned her gay." which just pissed me off. All and all she started it."

"Did you throw the clothes first?" Alex looks at me but stays quiet. "Did you or did you not throw the first piece of clothing?" I ask her again.

"Fine! Yes, I threw it first but she was just egging me on."

"And where was Paige?"

"Paige left sometime during the fight."

All I can do at this point is shake my head. I try so hard with Alex but she always wants to make things so difficult. "What's your plan to get Paige back?"

"Well I thought we could go to Mississauga and I could buy Paige her favorite kind of bread." Alex smiles at me.

"Mississauga? MISSISSAUGA?!? You expect me to drive all the way to Mississauga just so you can get some effin bread?"

Alex nods her head.

I lean across Alex and open her door. "Get out," I tell her.

"What?"

"You want the bread then you can get your ass on transit and get it because I'm not driving your ass. It's bad enough that you ruined my alone time with Beth, but now you want me to drive you to Mississauga. Hell no. Get out."

Alex gets out of the car and slams the door. "Some friend you are!"

I roll down the window. "Yeah, well payback is a bitch my friend." And with that I drive off.

Next Day at Lunch:
I'm in line with Paige right now. We've discussed the Alex and Hazel issue and have decided that they are both stupid.

And speak of the stupid; Alex just cut me in line. Paige sort of rolls her eyes.

"Your favorite," Alex says while holding the loaf of bread, she places it on Paige's tray. Paige glances at her and then focuses her attention back on the line. "I went and picked it up after security let us go." You mean you went after I threw you out of my damn car.

"I'm not talking to you," Paige says bluntly.

"I had to go all the way to Mississauga to get it, on transit." Paige continues to ignore Alex.

"Uhh how much?" Paige asks the lunch lady.

"$2.16 please," the lunch lady says.

"I'm sorry ok, but she pushed my buttons right in," Alex says.

"$2.20," Paige says while handing the worker her money.

The lunch lady hands Paige her change.

"I tried. That's got to count for something," Alex says.

"Have a great day, thanks," Paige says to the lunch lady and walks away.

"I just care about you," Alex says while Paige walks away.

"Great job showing it." Paige picks the bread off her lunch tray and throws it in the trash. Damn that's cold.

Alex turns and looks at me. "Nu-uh," I say already knowing what she's about to ask. "You fix this one by yourself."

Later at Work:
So Paige and Alex both have today off while I'm here working with my wonderful Beth. You hear no complaining from me.

"Hey look," Beth says while pointing to a table.

That's weird. Alex and Hazel are sitting at the table together and it seems like they're waiting for someone. They're probably both waiting for Paige. Out of nowhere Paige appears.

"This should be fun," I tell Beth.

Paige sits down. Everything seems to be going well. Wait, why does Paige have a spoonful of whipped cream pointed at Alex?

"Did Paige just fling whipped cream at Alex?" Beth asks me.

All I do is nod my head as I watch the scene in front of me unfold. Alex flings whipped cream back which ends up hitting both Paige and Hazel. OH NO!

"DUCK!" I scream to Beth.

We both duck under the counter and watch the whipped cream fight through the glass case. Ugh, we're going to have to clean this up later. Whipped cream and other things are getting everywhere. Why is Hazel running towards the canister? Does she not see the German tourists?!? Hazel tries to jump over the counter to get the canister but the tourists are in the way. Paige grabs a handful of biscotti pops and starts throwing them. The madness! THE MADNESS!!

After the Madness:
"Follow me," the security cop says.

I follow him to the security room and he opens the door. I shake my head at the sight that's in front of me. Hazel, Alex, and Paige are all sitting there looking awful. Whipped cream and other things are all over their bodies.

Alex sees me and instantly stops laughing and a look of fear appears on her face. If I could see the look on my face right now I would be scared to.

"Just so you know Beth and I are the ones who have to clean that mess up."

"Sorry Hun," Paige says.

"Oh you will be. I just got off the phone with your mom Paige. She says you have to stay here till the place is done."

Alex starts laughing a little bit. "I don't know where you're laughing over there little Miss Mess. You and I both know that if Paige can't leave then you have no ride home and I'm pretty sure you don't wanna ride transit looking like that. So if I were you I would help out as well, so that way you don't have to WALK HOME!"

Everyone is just staring at me. I throw a mop at Alex and a rag at Paige. "You and your mess disgust me," I tell them. I walk away and walk back to the disaster they made.

Later that Night:
I'm telling you loosen up my buttons baby (Uh huh). But you keep fronting (Uh)

That's Beth's ringtone. She told me she would call as soon as she got settled from work. It took us awhile to clean up the mess, even with the three monsters' help.

"Hey," I answered into the phone.

"Hi. Can you meet me at the park?" Beth sounds a little off.

"Sure baby. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Just meet me at the park in five?"

"Okay." I hang up the phone and throw on a pair of jeans and a light jacket.

Reaching the park I see Beth on a swing slightly swaying. I sit down in the swing next to her.

"Hey," I say.

"Hey," she says quietly.

"Beth, what's wrong?"

"I got my college letters today. I got into the University of Miami."

I get off my swing and hug her. "That's great."

"Yeah it is. But I um, I didn't get into Florida."

I let go of her. "What?"
