I'm finally updating again! This chapter will also probably be a bit long. These next few chapters will probably fly by quickly since school starts in like, a week! There's also going to be a lot of love stuff since I'm a big sucker for Degrassi romance. And also, the conclusion of what happens with Marco. Please, please, please keep reading and reviewing!!
The next day, Monday, had flown by pretty quickly. Craig, Emma, Sean, and Manny kept their promise to Courtney and didn't tell anyone about the recent incident with Kevin. It was just better that way. Courtney loved spending time with Craig. They would hang out with each other at lunch with other friends and even sneak in lots of little hugs and kisses between classes. Courtney really thought she must be in heaven and Craig was some sort of angel. But, in reality, they were in the halls of Degrassi. Everything was also going quite well with the other couples of Degrassi: Emma and Sean, Terri and Spinner, Ashley and Jimmy, and Manny and JT, or so they thought. Now, it was Tuesday.
Emma, Courtney, and Manny were all standing by Emma's locker, waiting for her to gather her things for the next class. Then, Courtney saw something that made her jaw drop...JT kissing another girl!
Courtney- Uh...Manny? There's something I think you should see...(turns Manny around to face that direction)
Manny gasps.
Manny- That...little...pervert. (hurries over to where JT is standing and the new girl had just left)
Emma turns to Courtney.
Emma- Uh oh. This can't be good.
Manny- JT! What the hell do you think you were doing?
JT- (shocked to see Manny standing next to him) Manny!! I...uh...was showing the new girl around.
Manny- Yeah! With your lips??!!
JT- Uh...n-n-no...that's not it...I was...
Manny- Just save it JT! I thought you really liked me and I liked you. But now I see you're just as immature as I always thought you were. JT...I'm sorry to say this...but, we're done. (starts to storm off)
JT- Manny!! Wait up!!
JT runs after Manny and finds her outside under a tree.
JT- Manny...look at me.
Manny looks up and tears are building up in her eyes.
Manny- JT...I-I can't believe you would do this. (pause) I really thought I liked you, ya know? But...maybe this was all just a mistake. (pause) I can see you just can't handle a REAL relationship. Y-You really can't.
JT- (sighs) Manny, I'm sorry too. I guess I am just too immature for a steady relationship with just one person. (pause) Ya know, my hormones are raging at this age! First I like one girl, then I'm kissing another.
Manny- (sniffles, laughs a little, and rolls her eyes) Yeah. I can see that.
JT- Manny...I AM really sorry. (pause) Can you forgive me?
Manny- JT...I don't know. Maybe. Eventually.
JT- Then...can we still be friends?
Manny- Maybe. Hopefully.
JT smiles and offers her a hand to help her off of the ground.
Manny- (shakes her head) No thanks. I need to be alone for a bit. I did just see my boyfriend, now ex, just kiss another girl. (pause) That can really shake someone up ya know?
JT- Oh, I see. Well...I'll cya in class later.
Manny- Yeah, cya.
JT walks inside the school and Manny is left sitting under the tree, thinking. Well, maybe neither one of us was ready for a steady, serious relationship, she thought to herself. Wait, she thought, did all this time, I really like...JT?? Weird....She then laughed at herself for a bit.
*Inside*
Emma and Courtney were talking when JT came down the hallway.
Emma- JT! (pause) So what happened?
JT- (sighs) It's over guys, it's over.
Courtney- I'm sorry JT...
JT- Yeah, well...that's what I get for being me, I guess.
Emma- Guess so...
JT- Well, she thinks we can still be friends. (pause) Hey! Now I can go meet up with Andrea (the new girl)!
Emma and Courtney- JT!!
JT starts slowing walking and then running backwards.
JT- Hey! My hormones ARE racing you know...whoa!
JT fell over his own shoe and was now on the ground.
Emma and Courtney faced each other and started laughing really hard.
Courtney- That's what you get for messing with someone's heart!
JT then got up and went walking down the other hall, probably to find Andrea.
Emma and Courtney started laughing again, looking in the direction JT ran off to.
Sean and Craig came up behind both of them. Sean tapped Emma's shoulder and Craig tapped Courtney's shoulder while saying...
Sean and Craig- Boo!
Both girls jumped and turned around and let out little screams. Then, they realized it was just Craig and Sean.
Courtney- (punched Craig in the arm) What was that for?
Craig- Nothing really...we just thought it would be funny to give you girls a little scare.
Sean- Yeah, that's all.
Emma- Well, don't do that again.
Courtney- Yeah. (She gave Craig a look that said "Don't do that ever! I thought you were...Kevin")
Sean and Craig- Sorry.
They looked like little boys that had just gotten caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
Emma- Aw...look at them Court...we can forgive them this time, can't we?
Courtney- Well...I guess...just this one time...(smiles)
Sean- Alright man! We're off the hook!
Emma gave Sean a kiss on the cheek as so did Courtney to Craig.
Sean and Craig tried to sneak a high five behind their backs.
Emma and Courtney just looked at each other and rolled their eyes.
Sean- So, what was so funny before we came here?
Emma- JT fell over his own shoe.
Craig- But he does that all the time...it's JT.
Emma- Well this time...he deserved it.
Courtney- Yeah, Manny spotted JT kissing another girl.
Sean- Is Manny going to be okay?
Emma- Yeah, I think so. (pause) JT said that she said that they could still be friends.
Craig- What a jerk.
Courtney- And it was a new girl too! He said he was "helping her around".
Sean- A new girl???
Craig- Where??? Is she single???
Courtney- (stood straight in front of Craig and pointed at him) She probably is, but you're not Craig.
Emma- Same for you, Mr. Cameron.
Craig and Sean- We're kidding!
Emma- You both better be.
Just then the bell rang for classes.
Courtney- Well Em, we should get going to class.
Emma- Yeah, I guess so.
Sean- Do you have to?? (said almost like a little boy whining)
Emma- Yes, Sean. But, I'll see you at lunch, okay?
Sean- Alright, fine. (smiles)
Sean leans in and gives Emma a quick kiss.
Sean- I can't wait till lunch then.
Emma starts walking to class.
Craig turns to Courtney.
Craig- Will I be seeing you at lunch, as well?
Courtney- Of course. (gives him a short kiss) I'll see you then, Craig.
Craig- Bye.
And with that the girls and the boys turned their separate ways.
*In class*
Emma and Courtney are sitting down when Manny walks in.
Emma- Manny? Are you alright?
Courtney- Yeah, are you okay sweetie?
Manny- (sniffles a bit) Yeah, I think I'll be okay. (pause) Hopefully, I can survive being friends with JT.
Courtney- Well, we're always here for you Manny.
Emma- Yeah, always.
Manny- Thanks guys.
Emma- Why would you want to have Pinky for your boyfriend anyways??
All girls giggle.
Manny- I really have no idea.
Courtney- Manny, you're better off without an immature guy anyways.
Manny- You know what, you're right. And being single isn't so bad, I guess.
Emma and Courtney look at each other.
Emma- Well, I don't know about that...
All girls laugh in unison until Mr. Simpson starts class.
Mr. Simpson- Today class, we will be...
Mr. Simpson's voice seemed to trail off because Manny had her thoughts elsewhere. Yeah, I don't need a guy to be happy. All I need, is great friends.
*At lunch*
Manny, Emma, and Courtney were all sitting at a lunch table alone. Craig and Sean had joined them for a while but had left to go "take care of something". Once they had finished eating, Manny decided to go to M.I. to go do some research while Emma and Courtney were walking through the halls.
Courtney- I really can't believe JT would do that to Manny.
Emma- I know. Me either.
Just then someone pulled Emma from behind and into a spare room. Courtney didn't realize this and just kept walking and talking, thinking Emma was still there.
Courtney- Poor Manny. I just hope she can get over it. (she then notices Emma wasn't by her side) Emma? Emma, where are you?
Then, a hand reached out and grabbed Courtney's waist and pulled her behind a wall. Courtney was about to scream, until she realized it was Craig.
Courtney- Craig? What's going on?
Craig- Nothing. Sean and I just thought we needed some time with our favorite girls.
Courtney- Oh really? What did you have in mind? (has a sly look on her face)
Craig- Oh, nothing fancy really, but first, do you want to go out tomorrow night, you know, with me?
Courtney- Of course I would! I mean, you are my boyfriend, right?
Craig- I sure hope I still am. (smiles)
Courtney- (smiles) So...Mr. Manning...what's the other part of your "plan"?
Craig- Oh, just this...(leans in and kisses her)
Courtney and Craig are tangled up kissing very passionately when someone is standing in front of them.
Ms. Kwan- Mmm...hmm...
Courtney realizes this and pushes Craig off of her.
Craig- (looking confused) What?
He turns around and sees Ms. Kwan.
Craig- Oh, sorry Ms. Kwan. (pause) It won't happen again!
Craig takes Courtney's hand and they run off the other way, laughing. Soon they reach Courtney's locker.
Courtney- (still laughing a bit) Did you see her face?
Craig- (laughing) That was so funny.
Courtney and Craig stop laughing.
Courtney- Thanks for that though. I needed some "quality" time with my boyfriend.
Craig- You're welcome. I know, I enjoyed it.
Courtney- (looks up at him) You ready for more?
Craig looks confused. Courtney pushes him up against a locker and starts to kiss him again. Soon her arms are around his neck and his are firmly wrapped around her waist, never wanting to let her go.
*Meanwhile*
Emma- Sean?? What is going on??
Sean- Craig and I thought that we both needed some time with our girlfriends.
Emma- Oh really? (pause) And you wanted your time, here, in a spare closet?
Sean- Hey! At least, we can't get in trouble for making out in here.
Emma- (gives him a sharp look) What makes you think I'm gonna make out with you?
Sean- What does that mean?
Emma- (imitating Sean from earlier that day) Just kidding!
Sean smiles and starts to kiss Emma. Then he moves from her lips, to cheek, to neck.
Emma- (giggling) Sean!
He moves back to her lips and they are so into their steamy make out session, they don't hear anything else.
Emma- Sean?
Sean- Yeah?
Emma- I love you.
Sean- I love you too, Em.
They start to kiss again.
*The next day at school*
Manny, Courtney, and Emma are standing by the lockers talking when Sean and Craig come up to the bunch.
Craig- Hey girls!
All- Hey!
Craig walks over to Courtney, kisses her cheek and puts his arm around her.
Craig- So, are we still on for tonight?
Courtney- Of course we are! (smiles up at him)
Sean- Hey Emma!
Emma just looks at him.
Sean- What did I do?
Emma grabs him away from where Manny, Courtney, and Craig were talking.
Emma- You did something all right Sean...
Emma pulls down the neck of the turtleneck she was wearing and revealed a large red spot, basically, a hickey.
Sean- Whoa! Did I...do that?
Emma- (glaring at him) Yeah...you did Sean! Now I have to wear these turtlenecks when its 90 degrees out!
Sean- I'm sure there's something you can put over it besides a turtleneck. (starts to laugh)
Emma- (still glaring at him) What's so funny?
Sean- I just can't believe...I did that.
Emma- Remember our steamy make-out session...that's where it happened Sean!
Sean- I'm sorry Emma. Let me make it up to you.
Emma- How?
Sean- We'll go out tonight. We can double with Courtney and Craig.
Emma- (sighs) Alright, fine.
Sean smiles and kisses her cheek. He starts to laugh again. And Emma punches him in the shoulder.
Emma- Would you stop that already? (She can't help but smile a little)
There's still probably 2 more chapters so keep reading!!
