I looked around the room as we entered the party. It was a crowded room filled with tons of teenagers. Everyone was talking, eating, dancing, hanging out, and just having a good time. I saw Craig across the room talking to this Goth girl named Ashley who was in my English class. Paige told me that she was a horrible, mean, druggy who is also a huge slut. But Paige is always exaggerating things- I'm pretty sure I shouldn't believe her. This Ashley girl had been nothing but nice to me. She actually seemed pretty cool. Craig looked up from his and Ashley's conversation at me. He waved and smiled at me. I waved back and walked over to wear the drinks were. Spinner and Jimmy were over there.

"Hey you guys." I said greeting them and picking up a can of coke.

"Hey Jade." They said together.

"Having fun?" I ask sipping my coke slowly.

"Ya," Spinner said " and what about you jade? Are you enjoying your night?"

" Umm I guess it's good but I just walked in. Nothing Really exiting has happened yet." I said laughing.

Just then someone passed us with a tray of pig's in a blanket.

"Ooo wieners." Jimmy said his stomach growling. Jimmy got up and followed the food leaving me alone with Spinner.
"It's Strange you know." Spinner said once Jimmy was gone.

"What's strange?" I asked. Spinner was always talking about things that I didn't understand.

"You know you have your whole little thing with Craig, and Jimmy had his thing with Ashley and their over there talking and you and Jimmy were over here. It's like you switched partner's or something like that." Spinner said

" Wait, Ashley and Jimmy went out?" I asked confused. No one had ever said anything about Jimmy And Ashley ever going out. All I had ever heard about Ashley is bad thing's about her from Paige.

"Ya," said Spinner "They were like Degrassi dream couple in 8th grade but then some shit happened that changed everything."

"what happened?" I asked curiously

"I'm not sure I'm the right person to tell you" Spinner said and looked away for a second. Their was obviously much more to this story then spinner was telling me. Hell Spinner had even said so himself! If he wasn't going to tell me I guess I could just find out later were I get all my gossip from- Paige! But first I had clear something up with Spinner about me and Craig.

"Spinner there is something I don't get about what you just said though" I said.

"What is that?" Spinner asked chewing on a potato chip.

"You seem to think me and Craig are a couple. You know he's not my boyfriend." I said clearly.

"Oh," He said blankly "I just thought you two were you know an item or something like that"

"Nope" I said

"Does Craig know that?" Spinner asked. Good question.

"Of course!" I lied.

"Wait," he said "Does Jimmy know that?"

"Why does everyone keep asking that?" I asked.
"Why do you think." Spinner said smiling and walked away. I think I might have got the picture. I turned around and looked at the crowed room of Degrassi students. Britney's Spear's song "Boys" was playing in the background. Craig and Ashley were still talking. Paige was dancing with some 10th grader and hazel was talking with Marco and this girl Terri who I hadn't really gotten to meet but was told that she was a nice. I searched the room for Jimmy. There he was scanning Marco's CD rack for some music he liked. I walked up to him.

"Find anything you like?" I asked. He turned around and looked at me like he was actually sort of surprised . He paused for a second before answering.

"Not yet." He finally said.

"Need any help?" I asked.

"Actually," Jimmy said "I'm kind of hot in here. Want to take a walk with me outside or something?" I scanned the room just to check what everyone else was doing. Nothing had really changed from before. Craig and Ashley were still talking, Paige was still dancing, and Hazel was still talking. Then I looked at Jimmy next to me.

"Sure." I said and we walked off together outside. I followed Jimmy into the backyard. It wasn't so crowded. Marco had a hot tub and a few people had brought their bathing suits and were in there. Also there was a couple making out in the bushes but everyone was *pretending* to ignore them even though we all knew that they were watching every second of it.

"So, Marco's got a nice place eh?" I said. I finally gave the "eh?" a try.

"Ya it's pretty cool." Jimmy said looking up at the sky. "Oh and Jade, can I give you a little advise?"

"Umm…sure" I said confused.

"Your not Canadian. I would probably not us the "eh?" thing if I were you." He said laughing. I chuckled back.

"Ok." I said smiling. We were silent for a minute.

"Wanna sit here?" Jimmy asked pointing to two person swing.

"Sure." I said. We sat down on the swing and looked up at the stars. Jimmy rocked the swing gently with his feet. . I a felt a cool November breeze that gave me shivers up my spine and Goosebumps on my arms and legs.

"You cold?" Jimmy asked. Of course I was cold! I was only in a tank top and blue jeans but I was still cold. I at least wanted to bring a jean jacket or something with me tonight but Paige had instructed me that "less is more" and to leave the jacket at home. So stupid me left the jacket at home and as a result of this I was freezing. But I wasn't going to tell Jimmy that. So just smiled and nodded as another way of saying I was cold instead of telling him the whole story.

"Well here." He said. He took his Degrassi JV basketball jacket off and draped it around my shoulders. He didn't just put the jacket around me, he put his arm around me too. To tell you the truth I was fine with it. With Jimmy everything felt perfectly comfortable, like everything was right. For a minute we just sat there on the swing, rocking gently, gazing up at the stars. Jimmy then broke the silence.

"This is such a typical romantic setting." He said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well," Jimmy said "Outside, it's a nice night, the sky is full of stars, there is a studly boy and a beautiful girl sitting here on the swing."

"Don't call me beautiful." I said. I never liked when people called me beautiful and focused on looks. There is so much more to a person.

"But you are. On the inside and out" He said staring right down into eyes. Even though I was wearing his jacket his look still sent shivers up and down my spine. I stared deeply into his dark brown eyes. Our faces inched closer and closer together. Our eyes still locked. I didn't want to close my eyes and let them leave my sight. Closer and closer we got. I then softly closed my eyes and our lips met. Our kiss was simply perfect.
