-Chapter Seven-
"Yeah Sean, it was so cute, they were hugging and awwwwww," cooed Emma into the phone.
Christie laughed and said," Yeah we were pretty cute."
Emma pushed Christie as she told her sarcastically not to be so modest. She gave Sean some more details and told him that they would see him at school the next day.
"So how excited are you?" Emma asked
"Words can't even describe. Tomorrow school is going to be torture."
"That's the spirit! School is not fun, it's torture!"
Christie shook her head at Emma as they heard Spike calling them for dinner and they headed downstairs.
When Joey got home Angela and Craig were playing Candy Land on the living room floor.
"Daddy!"
"Hi honey," said Joey picking up Angela and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey Joey, how was work?" Craig asked.
"It was good kid, what have you been up to?"
"Well not much, just playing with my favorite sister. We ordered a pizza, the leftovers are in the fridge."
"Did you meet Emma's cousin? She was pretty cute, seemed like a really nice girl." Joey asked as he started towards the kitchen.
Craig stood up and stretched out his arms, joining Joey in the kitchen.
"Yeah I met her," he said coolly," she asked me out for tomorrow night." Craig grabbed a banana and started to peel it as if girls asked him out everyday. He looked up to see Joey smiling.
"That's my boy!" he said. "She asked you out?"
"Yep," said Craig," she told me I was the one she had her eye on from the moment she walked into Degrassi."
Joey gave Craig a high five and told him that he definitely deserved this. "What are you guys going to do?"
"Well I was thinking about having her come here for a little while first and then surprising her with." Craig whispered something into Joey's ear and he nodded.
"Good move, she'll like you even more."
Angela looked up from where she was sitting," I like Christie too daddy. I want her to be Craig's girlfriend so we can see her all the time!"
Joey laughed," You never know Angie, Craig here is becoming quite the ladies man."
Craig rolled his eyes," Yeah.right.I'm going upstairs. See you guys later."
At this point dinner was going on over at Emma's. The topic of conversation was how the girls first day of school went.
"It's good to know that you are adjusting well Christie," said Spike.
"Yeah Mom, she even said school was fun. I think she's been brainwashed." Said Emma and this made the whole table laugh.
"I met a lot of great people Spike," Christie said while picking at her potatoes.
Emma looked up and smiled," Yeah one in particular."
"A boy?" asked Spike happily.
"Yes as a matter of fact," said Christie.
"Ohhhhh WHO WHO WHO!!!!" By the tone of her voice, Spike sounded like a girlfriend who had just gotten some really juicy gossip.
Christie laughed," Craig Manning."
"Craig Manning, that's Joey's stepson, right?" Asked Spike.
Snake interjected saying that yes, he was Joey's son, and he had Craig for one of his classes.
"Craig is a really good kid, very focused on his work and he's courteous of other people."
Christie and Emma giggled and said," He's cute too!"
This made Spike smile. "He sounds like a catch, are you two going out sometime?"
"Actually, tomorrow night, if that's okay. Emma, maybe you can Sean could meet us somewhere for awhile?"
"Yeah that would be fun, is that cool mom?"
"Sure girls, just make sure that the boys have you home at a decent hour."
The two girls promised they would as they finished dinner and went upstairs. The phone rang about twenty minutes later, and it was Craig calling about plans for tomorrow. He asked Christie if she would come to his house around 7. She said that would be fine, and asked if it would be okay to meet Emma and Sean somewhere at some point in the evening. Craig said of course, and all four of them could talk at school.
Emma and Christie chatted for awhile about what to wear the next night and then they went to bed.
