It was Friday. My first week at Degrassi had flown by really fast. I was beginning to really love being at this school. Still there was apart of me that was missing. Something was definitely different about me from when I was back home. Me being different wasn't a good thing. The worst part about it was that I had no idea what it was. I mean sure I was having a blast here but their was just on that wasn't right. Still I continued to enjoy the time a was having here. I was extremely happy that it was Friday because tomorrow was Saturday. You remember what Saturday is right? My date with Craig! Damn, I never got this giddy about guys. I must really really like him. The funny thing is I hardly even knew him! Oh well!

It was lunch time. I walked over to the usual spot where I had been eating with Paige, Hazel, Spinner, and Jimmy for the past week.

"Hey" I said to them and sat down on the bench between Jimmy and Paige.

"Hey" They all said in unison together. It sounded robotic. It actually kinda scared me! Everyone was silent for a minute. It was one of those strange awkward pauses which everyone hates. I wanted to say something but I had no idea what to say. Luckily Jimmy read my mind and broke the silence.

"So what's up?" He asked no one in particular. I didn't say it was a good silence breaker but it was something at least.

"Umm…the sky" I said. Everyone laughed. It was a corny joke but at least it got people to laugh.

"Now here I tough question" said Spinner. "What's down?" Yet another corny joke today!

"Ooo I know!" said Paige said and raised her hand pretending like she was in class.

"Yes Paige?" said Spinner now acting like the teacher.

"The ground!" She said with a big cheesy smile.

"Hey the rhymed!" said Hazel. "What's down? The ground!"

"I'm I poet and I didn't even know it!" said Paige rhyming again.

"Calm down Paige." said Jimmy "I doubt you're a poet number one because you flunk English glass and Number two- that hardly even rhymed !"

"Go ruin my moment why don't ya Jimmy." Paige joked. "I felt special."

"Suuuuure" He said and rolled his perfect brown eyes. Ahhhh, did I just describe Jimmy's eyes as prefect? Well ya, they were but that wasn't the point. I didn't like him right? No of course I didn't I was just something I noticed. But the question was how didn't I not notice them before? Ahhh I had to stop doing this!

"So Jade," Hazel asked me changing the subject. "Whatcha think your gonna wear on Saturday?"

"What's on Saturday?" Jimmy asked. Woops- I guess he hadn't heard about my date with Craig on Saturday. I guess it's not such a big deal right? I'll just try to ignore his comment.

"No Idea." I said. "Any suggestions?"

"What's Saturday?" Jimmy asked again.

"I know," She said and then she got a big smile on her face. "We could go shopping!" Paige looked like the girl who was obsessed with shopping. I guess she will show me all the good store's around here.

"Great. Hazel You coming to?" I asked

"Duh!" Hazel said while examining her perfectly manicured nails.

"What's Saturday?" Jimmy asked yet again.

'Oh nothing, just Jade's got a date with Craig." Paige said answering for me. She nudged me a little getting me exited about my date.

"Craig?" Jimmy asked.

"Umm…Ya!" Paige said. She picked up her diet coke and took a sip. "I'm not gonna finish this." She said "anyone want the rest?"

"I do." I said. I needed something to eat or drink so I could block my mouth and I wouldn't have to answer any of Jimmy's questions about Saturday.

"Wait, hold on, Craig Manning?" Jimmy asked. For some reason he couldn't get the fact through his head that I was going out with Craig on Saturday.

"Well ya- do you know any other Craig's?" Hazel asked.

"well actually I do. There is one that I know from…" Spinner started to say.

"shut up Spin," said Hazel "Your ruining my point!"
"So your going out with Craig Manning on Saturday? Jimmy asked.

"Umm yes" I said. I took a long sip of coke so I didn't have to talk to Jimmy about this.

" Jimmy why do you have such a problem with Jade going out with Craig?" Paige suspiciously

"Oh umm..ummm" stammered Jimmy

"ummm what?" Hazel said edging him on. I could tell he was think of an answer.

"well I just didn't see him as her type." Jimmy finally said.

"Oh then- what's jade's type?" Paige said raising an eyebrow. He was cornered.

"Oh you know the jock/ popular/all around sweet guy kinda of guy" Jimmy said.

"Sounds like you…" said Paige grinning. Jimmy turned redder then the dark red lipstick that Paige was wearing today.

"I thought that." said a smug Paige. Just then the bell rung. School was almost over I couldn't wait till the end of the day to go shopping with Paige and Hazel but I wanted to know more about Jimmy. Something about me thought he liked me. But I pretty sure he doesn't. Oh well- I'll just have to wait to find out!
