I own Rae Areostall and her mother- other than that I own nothing except the story-line. So please don't sue me- cuz I'm great friends with a defense attorney who's never lost! LOL (its the truth!)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Craig Manning couldn't sleep Sunday night- he didn't know what was up with him. He liked Manny right? Yeah he liked Manny... he did. It was just for some reason he couldn't stop thinking about Rae. She was a bitch to him and all, but he felt that there must have been a reason for that. It wasn't that he exactly liked Rae, he just was curious. He's always felt sorry for himself, but what if what she had gone through was much worse than what he had- it may be so. He decided he wouldn't be an ass and tell everyone what she said to him, that might just make her life worse. He'd just stay away from her, and let her create her own path.

Monday morning Rae Areostall woke up to the annoying sound of her loud alarm clock. Oh No! Not morning, again. I wish I could sleep through life. And it was true, she did. When ever she watched movies with someone who had a comma, she wished she was he/she. She knew she shouldn't, but she couldn't help it- she needed a break. And unfortunately she would have to face Craig and his friends this morning- it was a sure thing he would exaggerate their little argument. Wish you were here, Mika. She thought to herself. But, nope- she'd have to go through this one alone.

As she was getting dressed she saw another guy who had light brown hair with blonde tipped highlights cross the street over to the Jeremiah's house. She couldn't tell if he was hot or not.

Craig called Sean last night and told him to meet him 15 minutes earlier than usually today. He wanted to avoid Rae. Maybe no one would even think they lived together- then he wouldn't have to comment about her.

Sean was crossing the street now and coming up to Craig's door. Before he could knock Craig opened it. "Hey" He said in a frantic rush and pulled Sean to the side of the house. "Let's go."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Sean seemed very curious.

Craig whispered quickly, "Because I want to avoid her.

"Who, Angie?"

Craig answered "I wish."

Sean's left eyebrow rose in confusion. "Dude, I'm lost. Spill."

"It is so friggin cofusing I-" as he was about to try to explain the odd situation the front door opened, and Sean took a look from the side. It was Rae- dressed beautifully and origanally today.

Sean was in awe. "Umm...um.... who is that?" He asked.

Suddenly and furiously without reasoning Craig yelled "Mine!"

Sean backed away. "What?" Craig couldn't believed what he had just said. For some reason it was instinct. "Weren't you gonna ask Manny out today?" Craig nodded as Rae sped towards Degrassi community school, and so did Sean's head. "Then what are you talking about?

Craig didn't know why he had said that. He didn't have feelings for this bitch after the way she had treated him. Did he? "I have no idea."

Rae had no idea what or who Craig was screaming to- all she knew was there was something seriously wrong with that dude. I mean, he treated me okay, even after I was a bitch. That was weird. Maybe he wouldn't say anything hopefully.
