"Hey look there goes the girl who hooked up with jimmy?"

"There's the girl who's cheating on Craig"
"I heard she's pregnant"

"I heard she only came to Canada because she flunked out of every school in America."
I could here what people where saying about me as I walk down the Degrassi hallways. Rumors and other untrue things where being said. I sighed. It was just a kiss. An amazing magical kiss…. But still that's not the point. One thing I knew for sure Degrassi students loved good gossip and they knew how to spread it around and exaggerate a lot! I saw Paige and Hazel by the lockers fixer their makeup in a locker mirror.

"Hey guys." I said

"Jade, you didn't tell me you kissed Jimmy?" Paige said

"Well we sorta kissed each other but…" I started to say but Paige cut me off.

"Wait to go!" She said and gave me a high five. This was not the reaction I was getting from everyone else here at Degrassi. Everyone else was calling me a slut or a ho or something like that.

"So you guys agree with me. It was fine to do right? I mean I wasn't cheating on Craig right?" I said

"Hun," Paige said. "You were definitely not cheating on Craig!"

"Ya," said Hazel flipping her hair to the side "I mean didn't you like tell us like right before the party that you two weren't going out?"

"Ya, Totally!" Paige added "and I'm so glad you and Jimmy finally hooked up. I mean he's been like in love with you since like when, the first day you got here?" I giggled.

"I'm so glad you guys understand. I mean everyone is being so obnoxious about it." I said.

"Don't worry. By tomorrow something else will happen, like some kids pants will fall down in the lunchroom, or someone ask someone out and then all of this will be yesterdays news."

"Jade, hun, just one tip though." Paige said.

"Ya, shoot"

"Hun, when your going to kiss one guy just make sure that one guy who is like madly in love with you doesn't see it."
"What do you mean?" I asked clueless.

"Turn around." Hazel said. I turned around. There was a not so happy Craig walking up to us.

"Uh-oh" I silently

"Hey" I said to him as he approached me.

"Can you guys give me and Jade some time to talk?" He said to Paige and Hazel. I could tell he wasn't in the best mood.

"So did you have fun at the party?" I asked trying to play it cool. You idiot Jade! don't bring up the party!

"I saw pretty well that you did." He said coldly.

"Listen Craig…" I started to say

"You know I really liked you Jade. But…ugh! Now I can hardly stand to look at you!" Craig said.

"Craig I really liked you too." I said. "I actually still do. We never said we were going out or anything like that. I mean I never thought I was labeled as 'your girlfriend'"

"Well I thought it was sort of implied that you were!" Craig said.

"Well no one told me that!" I said back. We were practically yelling people were staring at us in the halls as they passed by. My face turned like 10 shades redder then what it had been before.

"Craig, Calm down" I said trying to get him to hush. Not everyone in Degrassi had to hear our fight. But everyone would probably hear about it anyway somehow.

"Jade? You want me to calm down? I'm not the one who hooked up with jimmy. I have every right to be mad!" Crag yelled

"Craig we weren't even going out!" I protested again.

"well I thought we were!" he said

"Well I know now not trust you" Craig said. Just then I looked at Craig. He looked so hurt. Like his whole world was over. I think right then I really realize how bad he must of felt and how much I like him. How much I screwed up.

"Craig, I'm sorry. I was totally wound up in the moment." I said looking down hoping he noticed I wanted him to forgive me.

"Jade," He said a paused. I stared up into his eyes. They normally looked happy and eager to learn more. Today they looked hurt. I had really hurt him. He then continued " Jade I really liked you, but now I can't even bear to look at you it hurts so bad"

"Craig, I really like you. I know I screwed everything up between us but please forgive me. I still want to be with you" Craig paused for a second and then looked down.

"Jade I don't know, ill have to think about it." He said and walked off down the hall. The first period bell rung and I sulked away to class. I couldn't concentrate during my first couple of class during the day I was thinking about Craig so much and how I screwed up everything I had with him. I wasn't paying attention so much that in gym Spinner hit me in the face in doge ball because I wasn't playing attention. Right before lunch I stopped by my locker to drop of my books. Sticking out of my locker was a little note. I opened it.

Jade- I will forgive but under one condition.

Please promise me NOT to see jimmy ever again.

Then we can truly be together and I know you will be totally trustworthy to me.

Love always,

Craig
