Author's Note: Finally, I got this story updated. I apologize for the wait, but here it is. PS I don't own any of the Degrassi characters.

She could hear them. The whispers. They were really faint, but she could hear them, and they burned in her mind. They tore at her thoughts like parasites. They wanted to distract her, to make her believe what was incorrect. Toby hadn't raped her, he was close, but he didn't do it. She considered herself lucky, but what saved her could have shocked almost anyone. She couldn't believe her luck, and she would have been so happy, but then she would hear those whispers.

"Did you hear that Emma cheated on Sean?"

"No, wait, she and Sean were going out again?"

She sighed. She hated those conversations. They were suddenly popping out all over the place. It only started this morning, but it was already last block, so she figured that lies spread fast. She hated that party, she wished that she had never went. She and Sean would still be together, and Manny would still be her friend.

Suddenly, Liberty came up behind her. "So," she said, "Are you heading to Media Immersion?"

Emma nodded. "Yeah, of course. Don't we have to go?"

Liberty smiled. "Yes of course, but you know…People are talking Emma, and I thought it would be a good idea if you skipped."

"No Liberty!" Emma yelled. "I will not skip a class over a stupid rumor. You heard me, a stupid rumor!"

Everyone in the hallway stopped and looked at Emma.

She went bright red. "Liberty, lets just go to class."

The two of them left just in time, because Jimmy was coming down the hall with Spinner on his side.

"I can't believe Ashley didn't answer me Saturday night. That was so mean."

Spinner shook his head. "Honestly Jimmy. I didn't think you cared about the Goth anymore."

"She's not a Goth!" he exclaimed, outraged.

"Maybe she doesn't like you anymore," Spinner suggested. "Did that ever cross your mind?"

"Did it ever cross your mind that Paige doesn't like you," Jimmy snapped back.

Spinner shut up for a second, then said, "Man, that was so stupid of you to say. Of course she likes me. Who couldn't like these muscles?" He flexed his muscle and a group of girls walking by started to laugh. "What?" he asked, shocked. "What did I do?"

Jimmy shook his head at him. "Spinner, honestly. Anyways, I can catch her in English."

Spinner nodded. "Go ahead. But why not now?"

"What?"

Ashley suddenly ran up to the two guys. "Hey! Jimmy…" She kissed his cheek. "Yes," was all she said before she ran to class.

Jimmy froze in the hallway. 'She said yes," he whispered.

"Yes, she did Jimmy. This is the second time. God, you'd think you'd be used to it by now." He then hit Jimmy on the head with his English textbook as he ran to class.

"Spinner!!!" Jimmy yelled as he chased him down the hall.

In Media Immersion, Emma kept getting death glares from Manny and now Sean. She hated it. Why did she have to snap at Manny? She could have handled getting evil glares from Sean, but not Manny. What made it worse though was that Manny was also flirting constantly with Sean, and he was shockingly flirting back. Emma wished that Craig could have seen this. Even though Manny and Craig broke up, he still liked her. It would break his heart. She snickered. That would be such a good plan. Manny breaks her heart, she breaks Manny's. She had to talk to Craig after school. She just had too. All she had to do was pay Craig a little "visit".

Manny stared at Sean. He was so cute, so nice, so muscular. And his voice was so much sexier then Craig's. Craig had a really girly voice, he had no muscles she could see, and his hair was way to gross for her tastes. She was scaring herself. First she fell in love with Craig, now she wanted Sean. She lusted for Sean. She couldn't explain this weird feeling. Finally, JT stabbed her in the back with a pencil.

"Manny, hey, you alive over there?" he asked as he waved his hand in her face.

"JT, honestly, I am alive, you couldn't see that?" she snapped.

"Hey, I'm sorry. You were just staring at Sean so…Lovingly. Don't tell me…You like Sean now? Whatever happened to Craig?"

"Craig? Who's Craig?" Manny asked in her lovesick daze.

"MANNY!" JT yelled. "Snap out of it!"

"Manny, JT, quiet please," Mr. Simpson said sternly. "I really don't want to have to kick you out of my class."

"Sorry Mr. Simpson," the two of them mumbled.

"That's better," Mr. Simpson said before he returned to helping Toby, who seemed to be paying more attention to Emma then anything the teacher was saying.

Suddenly, the bell rang and everybody ran out of the school. Monday was over. Only four days of school left.
