A/N: Hey Guys! Sorrie I havent written in so long. We got a new computer
and it didn't come with microsoft word so I hadda wait till my dad could
get it lol. Anyways, this is a long episode and its rather interesting so I
hope you like it. Oh and some of you suggested that I make new characters,
well I was actually working on that. There will at least be one new
character, maybe two. I plan for her to come in the 14th episode but im
debating making her come a little sooner than that. Not sure though. But
just to let ya know, I plan on having 20 episodes total. And possibly a
fourth season after I write this one. Once again, im just debating the idea
of it. Ok, enough talk, I don't own degrassi or its characters, blah blah
blah. Review! 'xo christie
episode 4: curiosity killed the cat
That morning, Ashley's father brought her to school, however, she noticed he was acting strange. Different from usual. He was usually laid back and calm but this particular morning, he was up tight and jittery. Ashley wondered why he was acting this way as she stared off into space, with the wind blowing in her face from the rolled down window. Then, they pulled up at Degrassi Community School.
"Hey Ash, before you get out of the car, I just wanna let you know that...well, we're having company over tonight so i want you home in time for dinner. ok?" stuttered Ashley's dad as he fixed the car mirror.
"oh ok, dont worry dad. i'll make sure to come home in time. who's coming over?"
"Just...a friend. From work."
"oh, well im gonna be late so bye." said Ashley while closing the car door and walking up the steps of the big school.
As she neared the door, she saw Paige, Spinner, Terri, Hazel, and Jimmy standing around; talking and laughing. She took a deep breath and started to walk passed them so she could walk through the front door. But before she could even reach the door, Paige tripped her. Ashley fell to the ground. Then, someone who was coming out of the school, hit Ashley's head with the door, which didnt make matters any better. She just quickly gathered her books and got up without even paying attention to Paige and everyone else laughing at her.
"Hon, next time try not to be too clumsy and things like this wont happen." smirked Paige as Ashley was entering the school. Ashley once again, ignored her.

Manny tapped her fingers on her desk as she waited for Ms. Kwan to end her english lesson. She was bored out of her mind and watched the clock as minute after minute passed. Finally the bell rang and all the grade 8's jumped out of their seats. Manny quickly ran over to JT before he left the classroom.
"Hey.." she said while smiling at him, "god, that was so boring! I thought i was going to lose my mind!"
"Yeah, me too. I must have yawned about 100,000 times!" exaggerated JT
"So, we still on for tonight?"
"You bet. Wouldnt miss it for the world." answered JT sounding a little too excited for someone who supposedly didnt really like Manny, and only wanted to give the school something to talk about.
"Ok, pick me up at 7?"
"Yep. Sounds good."

Finally school was over. While Ashley was walking home by herself, she thought about the many torturous things that happened to her day after day. But today was her limit. She could only take so much! This past week had been hell and she couldnt take it anymore. All she wanted to do was sulk down in a bubble bath and cry. Finally, her walk home was over and she opened her front door, entered the house, and ran upstairs to her bedroom.
"Ash! Is that you?!" yelled Mrs. Kerwin from the bottom of the stairway
"Yes! What do you want, mom?"
"Come downstairs. Your fathers company has arrived early." Ashley stumbled down the steps, and went into the living room, where the company was.
"Hey Kiddo! This is my...partner, Glen Simpson. Your teachers brother." said Mr. Kerwin
"Oh, uh, hi" said Ashley, while looking at the floor, "uhm..what is he a partner in?"
"He is my partner in love, Ash. He's my boyfriend."

Manny was waiting anxiously at her front porch when JT arrived in his family's mini-van. Manny ran to the car and hopped in. JT's mom dropped them off at the mall because they had planned on seeing a movie and then grabbing a bite to eat. But when they got out of the car, JT stated that there had been a change of plans. Manny just followed him to a dark alley way, without even questioning him. Finally, she spoke up, sensing something was wrong.
"Uhh..JT, where are we going? I'm scared. It's really dark out. Maybe we should just stick with the movie plan." whined Manny
"No, no just trust me on this one." he said to Manny, then looking away, he mummbled, "where is he?" to himself.
Manny heard his muttered words and said, "Where is who?"
"My cousin, he should be here."
"W-why?"
"Ok, well, he's supposed to bring us weed. I thought we could try smoking. Now, I've never done it before but I was thinking we could experience it together. B-but ya dont have to if you dont want to. Totally up to you." said JT, he looked the other way to find a dark figure walking towards them, "Oh! Theres my cousin now! Hey Dude!"
"Hey Little Man! Who's the chick?"
"Oh, dont call her a chick, shes mine, and her name is Manny."
"Manly name for a little girl, dont ya think?" said JT's cousin to Manny
"Look Jay, just give us the goods. You can smoke with us, but then leave. ok?"
"Fine fine. Calm down. I'm only your favorite cousin..." said Jay joking around
- - - ~~~ - - -
Then, Ashley ran upstairs crying. She couldnt help it. Although, finding out that her father was dating Mr. Simpson's brother wasnt all that horrible, it just added to the rest of her day and didnt make things better. Kids at school being mean, constantly teasing her, now her fathers boyfriend, even just the stress of life and schoolwork was aggravating her. She finally decided to sulk down in a bubble bath. Just like she'd planned on doing before her father bothered her with the disturbing news. Ashley turned on the water until it was very warm, maybe a little too warm. When she got in the tub, the water was really hot and she felt a burning sensation on her skin, but she didnt care. Somehow the pain felt good. However, the burning pain wasnt enough. So, she took her razor blade from the bath shelf, put the blade against her skin, and began to slowly dig it into herself.
*knock knock*
"dammit mom! Just go away! please!" she said practically in tears because the knocking made her jump and cut her skin a little more than she intended to.
She listened and didnt hear her mom in the hall anymore. Then she started to break out into deep sobs. The pain hurt, but she liked it.

Jay took a hit of the weed, and then passed the bowl to JT. JT took a hit and passed it to Manny. She looked at him, and almost didnt take the bowl from him, knowing that this stuff could kill her. She just stood there, staring at this illegal thing she was holding. Should she stop being a wimp and just take a hit? Or chicken out?
"Come on, you're gonna spill it all out!" yelled Jay anxiously
"Ok, ok!" said Manny, finally deciding to just take a few hits, to sort of get rid of her 'good-girl' rep. She coughed a little bit, but like the feeling it gave her afterwards, causing her to go back for more.
In just 5 minutes, all the weed was gone. They had smoked it all. So, Jay went off his way, and JT and Manny went theirs. They settled on going to the mall, because it was dark out and they didnt want to get hurt or into too much trouble. The whole time, they sat on the benches and couldnt seem to keep their hands off each other. So, they went into the womens washroom and had sex. It wasnt intimate, but it wasnt rough or dirty either. It was both of their first times and Manny in particular was worried about the aftermath.
