Chapter Five: Birthday

"It's ok. You didn't see me." The cute guy said.

"Well I better get going. Nice meeting you by the way." I said trying to leave.

"Hey before you go can I get your name cause I've apparently lost mine." That's the cheesiest line I've EVER heard in my life!

"Um it's Miranda. You?" I said rolling my eyes.

"I'm Dean Roberts. Hey do you happen to know someone name Paige by any chance?"

"Yeah she's my best friend here why do you ask?"

"Just tell her I said hello Spirit. Nice meeting you Miranda." Dean smirked and walked away. That was creepy! I shivered. It started to get really cold out. I decided to walk back home.

The next day was my Birthday! WOOHOO! I was turning 16 baby! Yahoo! I happened to get Dean's number. He's a really nice guy. OH SHOOT! I forgot to tell Paige!

"Paige I got a message from someone to you! He said hello Spirit." Paige looked at me horrified and her eyes widen in fear.

"Wha-Wha-What!? You kn-know Dean?" I looked confused.

"Yeah I met him yesterday. He asked if I knew you and I said yeah and he said to tell you that he said hello spirit then I gave him my number then he gave me his. Why did you guys go out or something?"

"Dean and I went out last year. We were at this party and he pushed things a little to far." A tear went down her face. "Dean isn't a nice guy ok! Just stay away from him!" I think I understand.Did he rape her or something?

"What did he do?" I asked

"He raped me ok! DEAN ROBERTS RAPED ME! NOW YOU CAN JUST TELL THE WHOLE FREAKING WORLD!" I stood there in shock and so did everyone else in Degrassi. Everyone looked at her.

I was friends with a raper! I couldn't believe it! What if he tries to come after me? Jimmy came up from behind me and covered my eyes. I forgot about what happened to Paige and about Dean that instant.

"Guess who?" Jimmy said.

"Hmm is he tall?"

"Yes."

"Does he have brown eyes?"

"Maybe."

"Is he a great Dancer and a great basketball including a great friend?"

"Yep!"

"Then that only leaves room for Jimmy Brooks!" I joked.

"We have a winner!"

I turned around and gave Jimmy a friendly hug. He had something hiding behind his back. I knew it was a present.

"Gee whats that you got there!" I asked

"Close your eyes!"

I closed my eyes. Jimmy tells me to open them and I see a bunch of roses and chocolate and a ring.

"OH MY GOD! Jimmy this is the best! Oh my god than you sooooo much!" I got caught up in the moment and kiss him. Thank god no one was in the hallway. Next I knew me and Jimmy are making out in the Janitors closet. This has had to be the best birthday ever!
