I am BAACCKK! I am sorry for the long wait- I was suffering writer's block, and then when I recovered from it was so many weeks later. Someone asked about, 'Before it Ends' I was thinking about continuing it. In addition, I decided I WOULD continue, "Before It Ends" I just want to finish this first. I will get back to you when ever that is. LOL. Enjoy!
Chapter Nine
"Get away from me! Stop right there!" I screamed, on the top of my lungs. Dean was approaching me with an evil smirk on his face. I looked down to my shoes; I was in my old wardrobe. I looked up again, there was three more men; all from Bardell's soccer team.
"What do you want, Dean?" I asked, with a trembling lip. The sound of his name made me sick to my stomach.
"I want you, Spirit." His voice echoed, violently. I then realized, I'm not over it.

Paige woke up, her lip trembling with fear. She put her shaking hand and brushed her blonde locks out of her head. She felt sweat flowing out of her pores, her head pounded like a hammer hammering on brick walls. She got out from under her covers, and sat at the end of her bed. She looked down at her oddly shaped clock and realized it was a quarter to four. "The suns coming up soon." She whispered looking out the window, watching the pink bluish Canadian sky pour through the shades of her window. She looked over on the other side of the room, and saw Katie sound asleep on a blow-up cot. Paige was so fascinated with her; like how she went through life-changing events also, and can still sleep at night. Katie looked so content, so comfortable, so innocent. Paige felt like the innocents she had disappeared and the inner devil had taken place. A long time ago.
Maybe I can just forget about it. Maybe it is just one of those deja vu nightmares.
However, Maybe, I am just a little out of place. I need to forget about it. He is gone; he's nothing. I am Paige Micalchuck. A fear-less Micalchuck. I am so wrong. I'm a nobody. I'm soulless. I'm emotionally dead; dreading happiness. Always depressed. I'm nothing; I'm an object used for pity. Don't pity for me; Pray for me. He's nothing, he's gone. I'm so wrong. I'm soulless.

"I don't get it," Paige was telling Katie after school. Katie wasn't starting school for another couple of days. Her mother took her out in the end of her school year last year since they were entering court sessions. Her mother was planning to switch schools for her children. A possible Degrassi.
Katie and Paige were sitting on a lunch picnic table watching a bunch of Degrassi boys playing basketball. Katie met up with Paige there, when she knew Paige was finished school. "Don't get what?" Katie asked, putting her chestnut brown hair behind her ears.
"It's been a year and half since it's happened. Why is still coming back?" Paige asked. Turning her view over to Katie.
"Paige, you'll be fine. It was a dream, it or him won't come back."
Paige nodded, wanting to believe her. But couldn't. However, nodded anyway, wanting to drop the conversation. "Not to get back to my giddy old self. But I- I have to ask..."
"What?" Katie asked. "What do you think about Degrassi boys? Better then Reading Cape High?" She chuckled.
"I kinda think the one with blonde hair is kind of hot looking..." She blushed. "Do you know him?"
Paige smiled, looking over at the boy she was referring to, "Yeah," She gave a small laugh under her breath. "I know him. He's Spinner, I uh, was in this relationship, where we were on and off. I'm not so sure anymore."
Katie gasped lightly. "I see." She paused, a grin forming on her face. "How about you find out? He's coming over to us!" Katie smiled. Paige looked up from the ground and spotted Spinner shirtless in sweat with a basketball held to his side. Chris was following behind him with Jimmy and Sean.
"Hi Spin," Paige smiled.
"Paige, hi, I was looking for you during lunch today..."
"Uh, right. I cut during lunch, but then came back right after. I didn't want Katie to be at my house to long..." She laughed. Spinner turned his head over to Katie, who had moved her sitting space behind Paige on top of the table. She blushed and slightly said hi waving her hand. Spinner nodded with a smile. "Hey Katie."
Katie grinned, and poked Paige in the back. Paige turned around mouthing "what?" and realized
She wasn't introducing her friends to Katie.
"Oh right, Katie this is Jimmy, Sean, and Chris. Guys this is Katie. A friend from..."
The guys cut her off with a smile, "Hey Katie." they said all together. Katie blushed even more. With a grin.
Spinner looked over at Paige again. "Paige, I'm really sorry about what I said at the mall. No hard feelings?"
Paige nodded, "No hard feelings, Uh hey, how about you guys come over to my house, tonight? I don't think my parents would mind if I invite a small portion of friends over. No huge bash." Paige suggested. Looking over at Katie. "I think it might be fun. Plus, that way Katie can be more acquainted with Degrassi. She might be transferring here soon."
"Alright cool, see ya' Paige." Spinner turned around and started walking to the basketball court again. Paige smiled every time, Spinner would turn his head toward her.
"So, it's a party?" A different voice appeared behind Paige and Katie. They girls turned around, it was J.T., in his mascot uniform. Paige was surprised about the fact that J.T. still got himself back on Mascot Duty after last year's incident.
Paige smiled and nodded. "Yeah, it's a party. Do you expect to be invited?" She asked, in a bitchy tone making her sound like she was really saying, "Go away."
J.T. smiled. "Yeah,"
She smiled wider. "Great. J.T., I am inviting you. For once, I wouldn't mind your presence." Paige walked and Katie walked away. Katie shot a glance at J.T. with a smile.
Katie then said, "God, I have a dilemma!"
Paige chuckled. "And that dilemma would be?" She asked still walking.
Katie blushed. Paige realized that Katie's cheeks always turned pink. She was not sure if it was embarrassment or just natural Katie. "I can't chose between Chris and J.T., they are both so cute!" Katie giggled. Paige stopped walking, and tugged on Katie's arm. , Causing her to stop.
"Wait- you like Chris, and J.T.?"
Katie shrugged. "I didn't say I liked them. I said I thought they were cute."
"Well, maybe you should back off!" Paige burst out, and started to walk away from Katie.
Katie called after her. "PAIGE! I don't understand, what do you mean back off?" She asked, catching up to her.
"It's nothing. Really. I think I was just hung up with the whole Spinner thing being on and off. Maybe- I don't know. Forget it."
"Okay," Katie said, she then jumped up and down with a giggle. "We got a party to plan!"
