Generation. I only own any character that I produce through my own
imagination.
Evonne and Craig walk together towards the Degrassi Community School building. They don't mention anything about Friday night before. Nor do they mention that Evonne has spent the entire weekend at Craig's house. Craig notices that Manny is giving him the cold shoulder.
"She'll come around you have to give her some time."
"I really broke her heart, didn't I?"
Evonne nods.
"Evonne! Craig!"
Evonne turns around she sees Paige running down the hallway toward them.
"Hey Evonne, Craig it's all over school."
"What's all over school?"
"Yo Craig. Evonne, Paige."
"Hey Spin."
"So Craig what happened with you and little Miss Santos?"
"I broke up with her."
"You're going to be the big bad wolf of the 9th grade now."
Craig nods as his friends begin to form around him. He notices that Evonne has quietly slipped away.
Evonne walks up behind Manny and Emma. They are whispering about something again.
"Manny?"
Manny turns around her large eyes are red-rimmed. Evonne swallows as she thinks of what to say.
"Manny, are you okay?"
Manny nods, Emma watches her and she realizes that she knows who she saw with Craig that morning coming out of his house as she rushed past to find Manny.
"You."
"Huh? What's the matter Emma?"
"I saw you this morning with Craig."
"Yeah, I'm Craig's friend why shouldn't I be with him."
"You were coming out of his house."
"Look Emma a lot happened that you don't know and wouldn't understand."
"That's why Craig dumped Manny isn't it?"
"No of-course not."
Evonne looks toward Manny. Manny's eyes are filling with tears. Evonne cannot believe that Manny actually believes Emma. Granted that Emma is her best friend but still. Why would Craig dump Manny for her?
"Manny I swear Craig and I are just friends."
"How do I know that? I knew you were jealous!"
"Manny!"
"Why should she trust you anyway? She's only known you for a few weeks."
"Emma!"
"Well? What's the answer?"
Evonne pauses she doesn't know what to say she looks from Manny to Emma and back to Manny.
"See Manny, she doesn't have an answer and Craig was cheating on you."
"Emma! I can't believe you could say that."
"It's true isn't it?"
"No!"
"Come on Manny let's go."
Emma drags the almost reluctant Manny away and leaves Evonne standing in the middle of the hall speechless. Craig has finally broken away from the crowd and walks over to Evonne oblivious to what has just happened.
"Evonne."
Evonne doesn't answer him she is still staring blankly down the hallway.
"Evonne what's wrong?"
Even though Evonne knows that, nothing Emma said is true but it hurt a lot to be accused of it. Despite her hardest efforts, she cannot but help letting a tear slip down her cheek.
Craig sees it a split second before Evonne hastily wipes it away. He pulls her close to his chest and lets her headrest there. It hardly occurs to Evonne that she is doing exactly what she is being accused of but right now she doesn't care that much. She feels like falling apart and the only thing or person preventing that is Craig.
Sean walks around the corner he finds himself pushed back but the ever- growing crowd of students lining the hall. He pushes though the human wall and finds himself standing in the middle of the hall. In front of him are Craig and Evonne.
Sean knows that he has no claim on Evonne. He finds it hard to believe that Evonne even knows who he is. But he still feels the stinging bite of jealous. He stands watching as Mr. Raditch walks up behind Evonne and Craig he taps them on the shoulder and indicates toward his office.
In the instant, the crowd of people empties the hallway leaving Sean. Supposedly, he was still hung up on Ashley or maybe Emma, but certainly not Evonne. He shakes his head no it's definitely just an infatuation there is no way someone could like someone else if they didn't know them.
Evonne and Craig both sit in the office of the principal. Mr. Raditch stares at them sternly. Evonne stares back her eyes almost unblinking.
"Miss. Mariz and Mr. Manning what do you have to say for yourselves."
"I'm sorry Mr. Raditch but Craig was just comforting me. My parents had a fight last night and I was really upset by it."
Evonne glances at Craig hoping that he will play along. Mr. Raditch looks toward Craig with his eyebrows raised.
"Mr. Manning? Is it true?"
Craig nods silently.
"Very well, I'll let it go this time because of the circumstances however this is not to happen again. Understood?"
"Yes Mr. Raditch."
"Yes Sir."
Evonne and Craig walk out of the office in silence. Evonne glances at Craig and for a moment they don't know what to say.
"Craig?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
"It's okay. Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine."
"Evonne."
Evonne turns towards him and before he can say another words, she moves slightly closer to him, and gently kisses him on the cheek.
"Bye Craig."
"Bye."
Craig stands there in the deserted hall watching Evonne's back disappear; her sneakers hardly make a sound as she walks away. Wow, that one kiss was everything rolled into one. He thinks to himself. He knows now why he couldn't be with Manny. She didn't make his heart feel like a racing rabbit. Evonne was different even from Ashley.
