Disclamer:I do not own Degrassi

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

First period went by suprisingly fast for me as Miss Dune talked rather fast getting everyhting out of the way and accasionally turning her back where me and Paige could get a few whispers in. Ashley and Craig could be heard laughing in the back quietly. And for some odd reason this drove me insane! It was like they were acting so childish looking at eachother and then turning away giggling. And of course me liking him wasnt helping much either....

Looking at my schedule I saw that my next class was History. I hoped that someone I knew would be in there as I reached the classroom. But dissapointingly Paige and Hazel along with Ashley headed in the room across from mine. Oh great. I let out a sigh as I entered the room looking around for a couple seconds I spotted Craig in one of the back desk. He motioned with his hand at the desk next to him which I gladdly accepted.

"Hello class..",A very high and shrilly voice called loudly through the room. She looked around for a bit till the class was completely quiet.,"I am Mrs. Down.",she might of been waiting for a response as she didnt say anything for about a minute. Finally she continued. But I did not care to listen as my gaze kept going over to Craig whom I realized he wasnt paying attention at the moment either as he seemed to be looking down at his hand.

He looked up at me and smiled as I gave alittle smile myself and a small nod. The older woman continued in her very annoying voice.,"I hope you have all the needy supplies ready as we will start tommarrow",this seemed to go on forever until finally she had let us be on are way to are next class.

"She seems nice..",Craig smiled as we made are way down the halls. Ashley then walked up.,"So how was it?",she asked him as I walked off having no desire to listne farther to the conversation between the couple.

The rest of the day went by pretty fast. As I had picked my favorite among the teachers. And as promised I had waited for Paige till her Spirit Squad practice was over.

We walked home in the dark as practice had taken longer then usually as it was the first day. And Paige always had to stay longer being captain and all. We didnt talk much just a occasional thought here and there. But thats how Paige was lately not wanting to talk much. Just to be left alone which I could understand. Her house was not far from the school and we arrived there quickly.

"Well thanks, Terr. Staying behind and all. Ill seeya tommarow kay?",she said opening the door. Nodding I headed off back down in the direction of my house.

There was a guy standing on the side of the street smoking something. This made me fell uncomfortable. The dark didnt seem to bother me at first and the reason could be that I had Paige there with me. Someone for company.

My house was still a couple of blocks away and I fastened my walk. The man seemed to go in the same direction as me but I kept assuring myself this is the way he had to go and that I was being stupid. He kept a couple feet behind me. I turned the corner of the street as he did the same. This made me even more nervous. Was he following me? I had a bad feeling and wanted to get home as fast as possible.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

First period ended sooner then I thought. I walked down the with Hazel at my side.

"So Paige..who you have next?",she asked me looking down at her schedule.

I found out that she didnt have any classes with me as we compared schedules. She sighed walking off. But this didnt seem to bother me. It was weird I loved being around Hazel my best friend. Going to the mall, talking about boys, or studying together. But these things never seemed appealing to me anymore. I guess I really had changed since last year. Sure I still would wear decent clothes. But it didnt matter as much.

The rest of my day went by very quickly as the bell rang signalling for the end of the day. Which meant spirit squad. And the first day was always the worst. There were new girls that were trying out. And no offense to them or anything but most of them were horrible. But I was captain and thats what i had to do.

The gym was filled with unfamiliar faces. Meaning alots of girls were interested in cheering. And it also meant another thing.A long night. And practice went just as I had expected. There were a few talented girls in the group but most of them were well...lame. And after letting about four girls join the gym was being empytied as I was more then ready to get home. Get home and sleep. And I knew Terri wanted to get home soon also. As she sat in the bleachers looking rather bored. I thought for a moment putting up the mats. Did I really want to be captain of the spirit squad? Do this every night? I knew the answer to that. I didnt want this. Last year I had felt important with the role of captain. But this year cheering seemed pointless. And I wasnt enjoying it anymore.

Mrs.Murray was sitting in the front row of the bleachers scribbling on her notepad. I put the last mat away and walked over to her.

"Mrs. Murray I dont want to do this anymore..",I simply told her. She looked up at me with what seemed to be a confused look.

"What do you mean Paige?",laying her notepad aside she looked up at me.

"Captain. I dont want it anymore...",shaking my head. She looked at me with frown and stood up.

"Why not? Your so good at cheering ,Paige. And you make a good leader. Is there something bothering you?"

"I just dont want it anymore. I dont enjoy it..I just want to quit.",I wasnt feeling up to saying more and dropped my pon poms beside her,"Ill bring back my uniform tommarow",I didnt wait for a answer and headed down to the girls locker room to get my stuff.

Making my way down the halls in there direction I spotted someone at the corner of my eye leaning against the wall. I paid no attention to the unknown person until he stood right infront of me. And then a look of horror reached my eyes. As he reveled himself. Dean. He just stood there looking at me for a second.

"Dean what are you doing here?",stuttering I tried not to look afraid of this boy.

"Spirit. Long time no see. I have some news I think you will like. You will be seeing alot more of me from now on. I transferred schools..."He evily grinned at me.

It took me a couple seconds to understand what he was saying. I was sure I would never have to see this guy again. But I did not press charges. And now here he was infront of me and transferring to Degrassi!

"Dean stay away from me...",I began walking at a fast pace down the halls to the locker rooms.

"Seeya tommarow Spirit!",he called to me laughing.

The day had went by miserably so far and I made it to my final class. Science one of my worst subjects. And today the teacher Mr.A had announced that we would be working in the labs today with a assigned partner.
I immedietly turned to Emma hoping that me and her would be partners. She looked like she hoped so too until the teacher had announced that she would be paired off with Sean and I think she gave the biggest grin I had ever seen her give.
I sighed wondering he I would have to be with. Hopefully someone halfway decent. He went down the list a pairing people off.. Looking around l at the few remaining people waiting for him to call off my name there werent many.. "Manny....",he seemed to be looking down the paper,"And JT...",he said. My eyes darted over to him as he game me alittle nod and smile. Now I had no probally not getting paired off woth Emma.

"You may all go find a table in the labs to go work in",he said going back to his paper.
Jt seemed to be already inhead of me and I gladly followed him. It seemed weird crushing on him. I had just thought of him as one of my silly friends. But now I knew I wanted something more. I knew he was a complete hotty but maybe I could get to know him more and start hanging out with him more. And he would maybe start to think of me as girlfriend material someone he would want to date. But a part of me felt bad because of me knowing that Liberty had been in love with the guy forever. And in the past I thought it would be Jt and Liberty but I knew one thing now...Me and Jt all the way,baby!!!
He picked one of the back desk with a couple chairs and a computer in the corner. Taking a seat beside me he flipped the computer on.
"So I guess we have to get use to the labs..",he said looking around waiting for the computer to finish loading.
"I guess so..",I too looked around not wanting to say anything stupid.
The rest of the class went by smoothly as I tried extra hard not to make myself dorky in any way. The teacher called cleanup and we put away are materials.
Jt stopped me as I headed out the door,"So Manny. Since we are assigned as lab partners maybe we should study for that test tommarrow. Say maybe your place?",he said rather casually. I was suprised by his offer and of course I would definently want to do it.
"Ok sure I guess...",shrugging not wanting to look excited by it.
"Great Ill be over sometime soon after school",he walked away over to Toby and Kendra. And being excited I hurried home.
