Thanks guys for the reviews. They really make me want to keep writing!
Episode Two "Burning Bonds of Fire"
"I hate it!" Jayson Storms shouted to his older sister Samantha.
"You too?" She mocked.
"Neither one of you have even given it a chance," their mother Elena scorned.
"Oh yeah. Well tell that to the cherished alumni of Degrassi Community School. I didnt see anyone
try to get to know me. What about you Sam. Did anyone in this part of town give you the time of day?" Jayson asked
"Not that I really care like you seem to, but no, not yet. Mom Im with Jayson on this one. This entire country sucks. Canadians
dont exactly seem right in the head," Sam joked.
"Stop it. Your father's Canadian. And besides its like you both said. No one came to you because you didnt go to them. So no more talk of hating school
okay?" Elena said.
Sam and Jayson idly stared at their mother. If only she had the "pleasure" of attending a school here.

"Are you two going to the bondfire tonight?" J.T. asked Emma and Manny.
"Of course. What else is there to do first thing new school year?" Emma asked.
"Well I just hope it doesnt suck like last years. Do you know how many bug bites I got?" Toby complained.
"And Mr. Simpsons bondfire song. How does it go again?" Manny asked.
"Everybody wants something.......yeah like that," J.T. screeched.
Emma and Manny giggled.
"I hope your arent planning to choose a career in singing. Because I think the world could do without you," Liberty Van Zandt said walking up
to the group.
"Liberty. Are you going to the bondfire tonight?" Manny asked.
"Well I could. I wasnt going to, but since you care so much.." Liberty trailed.

"Hazel, you cant wear pink to the bondfire because im going to wear pink and if you wear pink it'll only make us look like twins and lets face it,
you look ridiculous enough as it is," Paige said near her locker.
"Open.Open," Jayson struggled with his locker. Nearby Paige looks on.
"Hun, you might wanna try not beating on the thing. It looks you look like less of a maniac," Paige joked.
Jayson looked up.
"Thanks, I'll try to remember that," Jayson said nervously.
"Hey arent you one of those two kids we all saw yesterday. The ones that got out of that cute little limo?"Paige asked.
"Well yeah. Im Jayson," Jayson greeted.
"Paige. This is Hazel," Paige replied.
"Hi," Hazel giggled.
"You must be new to Degrassi," Paige said.
"Well actually-
"Dont worry. If you stick with Hazel and me, youll be fine. Now over here to the left we have the loser hallway. Dont ever venture there alone. Next theres-

"Welcome to class everyone......I see I have another new student," Ms. Kwan said refering to Samantha.
"Ah yeah. My name's Samantha. Im new to Degrassi. This entire country really," Sam replied.
"Well Im sure everyone will want to make you feel right at home. Now if everyone remembers from yesterday, I said that I wanted us to jump right into subject verbs right away," Ms. Kwan began.
"Yes Ms. Kwan I do believe those were your words," Liberty replied.
The class began to groan at Liberty's words.
"Your boo's only make me stronger," Liberty said.
Sam looked over at Liberty. A girl who wasnt afraid to take charge no matter what. That was risky no doubt. But this...Liberty person was who she neede to talk to.

"Okay, okay, okay. Watch this," Spinner said. He picked up a straw and began to suck up some chocolate milk. A few moments latter a spew of the same liquid rushed out from his nose.
"Ewww, gross Spinner," Paige said disgusted.
"Spin, man, come on. Were Grade 10's now. You have to cut stuff like that out," Jimmy said.
"Why?" Spinner asked.
"Just because..."Jimmy replied.
"Just because it's gross and I say so," Paige replied.
Jayson looked at the food displayed before him in the lunch line. He wasnt accustomed to whatever the hell any of the slop was. He was used to fine 5 star four course meals at home and at his old private school in L.A. But as his father had sternly put it for him, he was just going to have to accept that he was going to have to try to live a normal life.
"I know it all looks gross. But try the spagetti. Its not half bad," Ashley suddenly said snapping Jayson back into reality.
"Really?" Jayson asked.
"Yeah. I guarantee you wont find any toxic alien waste in that stuff," Ashley laughed.
"Thanks. Im Jayson by the way," Jayson said.
"Ashley. Are you new here?" she asked.
"Well yeah. The Canadian ways havent sunk in for me yet," Jayson joked.
"How long will it take?" Ahley asked.
"Couple of millenium I suppose," Jayson replied. Ashley giggled.
"Ash, come on," Ellie said walking up to Ashley.
"Oh well I guess I'll see you around," Ashley said walking away.
Jayson stared at her until she sat down.
"F.Y.I if you talk to her your popularity meter will drop faster than Heather Sinclairs Gucci skirt at a keg party. Come on you can sit with us," Paige said grabing Jayson by the hand and leading him over to her table.
"Everyone this is Jayson. He's a Grade 10 like us," Paige introduced Jayson.
"Whats up man. Im Spinner," Spinner said straw in hand. He was ging to shake Jayson's when Terri slapped it away.
"Ahh, you dont wanna touch that hand right now," she said.
"Fine. I'll go wash them!" Spinner complained.

"3-2-1...." J.T. counted down. Sometime later the release bell rung.
"Yes. Bondfire glory, here we come," he said.
"You guys had better not come dressed as the cowboy and Indian again,"Emma called after them.
"Jayson. You heard about the bondfire right?" Paige asked.
"Sure. Why?" Jayson asked.
"Because you have to go. As my date. Pick me up at 6 okay," Paige said walking away with Hazel.
"How did that just happen?" Jayson asked.
"Paige is very persuasive," Jimmy replied. Jayson stared at Terri at her locker. He quickly looked away when she caught him staring. Terri smiled.
Sam gazed around for Liberty. She was exactly like herself only in a young naive way. She had to meet her. Introduce herself. And then maybe they could talk.
"Excuse me. Do you know a Liberty Van Zandt?" Sam asked Manny and Emma.
Both girls stopped and turned around.
"Yeah..unfortunatley. Why?" Emma asked.
"Well I was kinda hoping to meet her," Sam replied.
"Liberty's a pain. She always has to be right and does whatever it takes to get there. You dont wanna know her," Manny joked.
:No, I dont wanna know you. You obviously dont know the real her at all you preppy wannabe," Sam said storming away.
"Preppy wannabe?"Manny asked. Emma stood watching the backside of Sam, looking very ticked off.

Jayson stood in his extremly large living room looking into a mirror. Hopefully this whole bondfire thing wouldn't be a total drag.
"Where are you going all dressed up?" Sam asked him.
"The bondfire. What about you?" Jayson asked noticing that Sam was dressed up as well.
" The bondfire? Why?"Sam asked.
" I was invited. What about you?" Jayson asked.
"Same thing." Sam lied.
"Well gotta go pick up Paige," Jayson said heading for the door. Sam watched her brother exit.
Paige? What kind of a stupid name was that?

It was exactly 6:30 p.m. and it was already getting dark out. But it would never be dark. Not with the blazing 20 foot fire roaring in the middle of the brush. There were plenty of kids all around. Talking, laughing, playing.
"Dude, you made it," Spinner greeted Jayson.
"Yeah," Jayson replied.
"And look who's looking like the next Britney," Paige said refering to Terri.
"Im not that pretty," Terri laughed.
"Okay Im thirsty. Can you get me a drink Jayson?"Paige asked.
"Yeah, sure," Jayson agreed.
Sam looked through the crowd. Finding Liberty was getting to be a challenge. How hard could one person be to find.
"Hey, its you," Emma said surprising Sam.
"Oh, youre the girl before. Listen have you seen that girl. Liberty?" Sam asked looking around.
"You dont even care that you made fun of Manny do you?" Emma asked.
Sam thought back.
"I dont know a Man- you mean that girl from before. No not really. Listen have you seen Liberty or not?" Sam asked.
"You are such an idiot!" Emma shouted.
Sam left Emma when she finally spoted Liberty.
Jayson walked over to a giant barrel full of sodas.
"Hey, what's good to drink here?" Jayson asked Marco del Rossi.
Marco looked up.
"Oh, i really dont know. Im Marco," Marco replied.
"Jayson. Yeah well I really dont know or care either. This party is kinda lame," Jayson replied.
"Its not that bad," Marco laughed.
"So are you a grade 10?" Jayson asked.
"Yeah. You?" Marco asked.
"Yeah," Jayson said. He didnt know what it was but something about Marco made him happy to be here. Marco seemed like he could be a really good friend.
"And you actually called her a preppy wannabe to her face?" Liberty asked.
"I wasnt thinking straight. I didnt mean it though," Sam replied.
"Not cool, no. But somewhat true, probably," Liberty laughed.
"You. Sam! I want you to apologize to Manny right now!" Emma yelled.
"Em, it's okay," Manny said.
"No Manny she cant get away with it," Emma said.
"Youre right Emma. I think I made a mistake earlier," Sam began
"Good," Emma said.
"Because manny is fine. Its you that's the wannabe," Sam said.
Emma looked at Sam.
It was obvious the two girls were now officially enemies.
Next time:
Paige has a plan. If she has a rich friend she'll always have money right?
Meanwhile Jayson is moving on to Emma and the only way to get closer to her is to make Sean his friend.
