Chapter7- A lot of Talking.

It was Friday morning and the 2nd day back for the Degrassi students. Many had already re-engaged in their relationships of the previous year. But some were still waiting to talk. Jimmy walked up those familiar stairs leading to the Degrassi Community School once again listening to Paige yap on about one of her new accessories. He pretended to be listening but really his mind was other places once again. And once again on one thing in particular- Ashley Kerwin. Ever sense the Morning after the big party he couldn't get her out of his head. All summer he couldn't wait to get back to see her even though part of him was still extremely hurt. He knew that he couldn't go on much longer without talking to her he needed to know what her take was on the situation. He needed to also know her feelings for him and if they still were there. He was tired of not knowing.. He would talk to her someday and that day would be today! He saw her coming up the stairs here was his chance.

(To gang) Jimmy- Ill meet you guys in Simpsons. I GOTT DO SOMETHING.

Paige- Don't tell me your gonna go and make up with that tramp?

Jimmy- Ok then I wont tell you im going over to talk to that tramp. Ill tell ya im going over to talk to Ash.

Paige- Whatever its your heart.

Jimmy walked over to where Ashley was standing talking to Terri.

Jimmy- Hey girls can I interrupt?

Terri- Hey Jimmy Yea sure you can interrupt.

Ashley gave him a small smile

Ashley- Hey

Jimmy- Umm can I talk to Ash for a sec?

Terri- She is all yours.

Jimmy and Ashley walk away.

Ashley- You wanted to talk?

Jimmy- Yea Ash.Well Ash I miss you.

Ashley- I miss you too Jimmy.This summer all I could think about was you and I was afraid that if I were to call you that you would hang up on me.

Jimmy- Ash I couldn't stop thinking about you either.

Ashley- I know that I hurt you Jimmy and I am so sorry. I don't know where any of that came from. I never felt that way and I never will. I know I made some huge mistakes.

Jimmy- Ash

Ashley- No jimmy I made the choices I did even though it was mostly influenced by the drug. And I paid the consequences.

Jimmy- What?

Ashley- I spent the summer in counseling.

Jimmy- Wow.

Ashley- Can you ever forgive me?

Jimmy- I just did.

Ashley- So you and I we are.

Jimmy- Just friends.

Ash- good I like that.

Jimmy- We better get to homeroom.

Ashley walked back over to where Terri waited. The 2 walked into the school talking.

Terri- So.

Ash- We are just friends.

Terri- Friends is good.

Ash- Yea for now. I am really glad that we talked though.

Terri- Be better get to Simpsons.

Ash- Yea.

And they walked off.

~8th Grade Homeroom~

Mrs.Kwan- Good Mornings everyone. A few extra announcements. Picture day is tomorrow so wear your best and be sure to have your parents fill out your form.

Ashley began her announcements. When she was done the bell rang and all the students hurried off to their classes. The first 4 periods of the day went y extremely slowly for the students of Degrassi. Mrs.Kwan Introduced Lord of the Flies to the 8th grade classes and discussed poetry with the 9th graders. In Media Immersion the 7th graders were getting familiar with their D-Mail accounts ect while the 8th graders reviewed from last year and caught up with each other. The over joyied 9th graders dove right into the project of making a real web page for people looking to maybe transfer to DSC. Finally the 4th period bell rang. They were free Lunch period had at last come!
