Hey everyone!!! I am really sorry it took me a while to upload this. I haven't been home for a while and the place I was staying at had no internet connection!!! Anyways here's the third chapter..

Disclaimer-degrassi's not mine. Don't sue.

"Hey Marco! Dude, what took you so long in the bathroom? I mean it doesn't take fifteen minutes," Spinner said. Everybody else snorted.
"Spinner, shut up," Jimmy silenced him.
" Uh yeah it.does," Marco finished lamely. He glanced at Ryu, who was seated in the far corner of the classroom. She glanced at him and he felt guilty for lying to his friends and well.her too, of course. They were in Mr. Simpson's class. Marco sat in front of his computer and typed in his password to access it. The bell rang and Mr. Simpson walked in.
"Okay class, settle down, settle down," he said. He picked up his attendance sheet, " Oh I see we have a new student here.Ryu.Ogata? Did I say that right, Miss Ryu? Or is it Mr. Ryu?" he glanced around the class. The students started to snicker at this comment. Marco glanced at Ryu and noticed she looked.sad. Or was it hurt? He didn't know, but she stood up.
"Oh! Well Miss Ryu!" Mr. Simpson said a bit too enthusiastically, " Welcome to Degrassi! Although I'm sure you've been told that many times today!" he chuckled and told her to sit. She nodded her head, twisting her mouth to one side, and sat down.
"Well class, as we all know, ninth graders here have to do a debate project with power point and a topic that they are assigned to on medical ethics." Mr. Simpson picked up a stack of pink papers and handed them out, " As you will see this is the list of the eight topics, pros and cons. Everyone has an assigned partner, which I shall tell you later in class today after you do the assignment I have for you today. Now if you read the first paragraph, this project ."
Paige leaned over to Hazel and Terri, while Mr. Simpson talked about the requirements of the project. " Look at the list," Paige muttered, " Abortion, animal experimentation, the placebo effect.what the heck is the placebo effect any ways?" " Something with drugs," Hazel answered back. ".So it'll be fun! A debate in a computer class!" Mr. Simpson chuckled, " Okay class, so while I'm assigning partners just look at the topics that might interest you," And with that Mr. Simpson went to his desk and started writing names down.
" So what sounds interesting to you?" Craig asked Marco. " I don't know and besides, we might not even be partners anyway," Craig shrugged and continued circling the numbers. " I'd probably do cons against animal experimentation. since I have a dog," Spinner said ( I actually don't know if he has a dog, ok???).
" Maybe anti abortion," Ashley told Ellie, " I mean babies have the right to live too right?" " Yeah, sure," Ellie responded and glanced over at Marco, sighing.
" Ellie, Ellie!" Ashley trying to get her attention, " You can look at your boyfriend later, we need to look at what topics we want," " Oh, right," Ellie turned back to face Ashley, wishing that Marco wasn't gay. Meanwhile, Ryu wasn't looking at the pink paper of topics. Minutes Later.

" Okay class," Mr. Simpson stood up, " Time to tell your assigned partners." The whole class quieted down, " The first is Paige and Ashley" Paige froze in her seat, while Ashley inwardly groaned, but put on a smile. "Next is Spinner and Ellie, Craig and Jill (I had to put random names. I mean the class isn't that small), Terri and Hazel, Marco and Ryu." Mr. Simpson droned on, while the people whose names were called started to walk toward their partners to discuss the topics they wanted. Marco stood up and walked to the seat next to Ryu, who didn't seem to enthusiastic about this. " Hey partner," Marco greeted and pulled the chair and sat. Ryu nodded her head to acknowledge him and continued to sit there. " Okay.." Marco mumbled, " So what project do you want to do?" Ryu shrugged, " Whatever," she looked down and eventually replied after a long awkward silence, " What do you want for a topic?" she glanced at him.
" Well." and Marco started to ramble on what he thought would be good, while Ryu just sat there nodding her head once in a while.

" Lunch!" Spinner replied enthusiastically. " I thought you hated the lunch here," Craig said. " Well yeah, but thinking about that power presentation makes me hungry." " It's power point Spinner," Marco pointed out.
" Whatever. I mean I'm partnered up with Marco's girlfriend here and she's all 'We should do this because..' or 'Spinner don't you know anything?'" "Right."Jimmy said. He turned to Marco, " So you're partnered with the new girl huh?"
" Guess so." " So?" " So what?' " What's she like? I mean she doesn't talk that much.well never actually," Spinner intervened. " She's okay.well she doesn't talk. I mean the only time she talked was when she asked me what topic I wanted. But she'll talk," Marco bit into his lunch (That kinda doesn't sound right.) "Sure, sure." "Shut up Spinner." " Whatever."

Yeah, you can already tell I was lazy on the last part, I mean I had no idea what to write next so I put it here, and realized how bad it was. *Sigh* But I don't know. Any ways next chapter.hopefully soon. Oh and review!!! It'll make me feel happy. ^_^(don't flame, cuz I'm very sensitive..)
