I continued my way down the dark street acting like I didnt notice this guy was on my tail. He seemed to begin walking faster as well and this was really freaking me out.

After a couple more minutes I saw my house in eyes view which made me fill much better. I was beginning to wonder of this guy was just playing with my head. As he kept a distance between me and had tried anything yet. I dont know what it was but something made me burst into a run till I reached my door. I opened it quickly slamming it shut and quickly locking it.

After a couple minutes later I knew I had just acted stupid. He was probally on his was to a house nearby. There was no reason to be scared.

That night sleep didnt come easy.

It was the second day of school and feeling better about the day I went up the steps hoping to find Paige or Ashley. But instead I was stopped by a guy. He seemed to just stand there in place standing in my way.

"Umm..Excuse me...",I said waiting for him to move but he made no effort.

"Terri right?",he continued as I nodded.,"Im Rick...",he said putting out his hand in attempt for a handshake. I just stood there blankly looking at his hand stretched out before me. This boy was just playing with me right? He'd probally go back to his friends laughing after this conversation.

After he saw that I was going to return the handshake he put his hand back by his side.,"Ill see you around then?",he said walking off. As he did I realized how cute he was. Im not going to go into details but lets just say he was enough to die for. Maybe he was just being nice? I shook my head erasing the thought as Craig and Ashley walked up to me.

"Hey Terri..whats up?",Ashley asked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I took in a deep breath as I got ready to enter my school. 'Its school its not like he can do anything..',I kept telling myself all night. But still seeing his face was just enough. Dean would be here today. And if I was luck I wouldnt see him.

I met Jimmy, Hazel and Spinner and the same table as yesterday. Jimmy and Spinner gave me a small smile and then went back to talking. Hazel looked at me,"Paige...Mrs Murray said you quit...the squad.",I nodded and made no attempt to give her a response.

Then I saw him. He was walking with a couple guys as they were laughing at a joke he had made apparently. My stomach began to turn as he smiled at me. Hazel turned to see what I was looking at. She stood there with her mouth open turned in my direction,"Dean? Here?", she asked as he dissapeared behind the corner.

I didnt want to talk anymore. Grabbing my bag I headed to the girl's bathroom. Atleast I knew I wouldnt have to see him in there. The bell rang making me enter the halls and make it to homeroom.

Terri sat there smiling at me and acting rather cheerful. Craig sat at her side and seemed to be drawing on his hand. Terri had always had something for Craig. She never told me..I just knew. In fact it was easy to tell. I was suprised Ashley hadnt noticed this yet. Or maybe she had...I didnt know. But Terri's attention seemed to be focused on something else I noticed as I took a seat behind her. She turned around to face me,"Paige....",she trailed off,"What do you think of Rick?"

I knew then what she was her she had been focussed on. Glancing at him he wasnt bad looking...but not really my type I noted. Giving her a shrug,"Oh...I dont know.",I didnt say anything else to her as my attention went to my stuff. She seemed dissapointed by my answer. But didnt say anything else.

Not wanting to think of Dean I tried doodling while the teacher talked on a small scrap of paper. Not spending anytime listening to the teacher I kept doodling little things like smiley faces and such. But then I looked down at my paper stopping and realizing what had been written,'I just want to die....', taking a deep breath I beleived this at first. But then I grabbed my eraser erasing it all. I went back to listening the best I could to the teacher.

That night with Jt didnt go near as good as I would of wanted it too. After about five minutes of getting all our supplies ready he received a phone call from his mother saying he needed to get home quick. He gave me some an apology then left. I sighed looking back down to my homework.

It was then I sat and really thought. I had tried doing with something with Sully this year. That I didnt mention but I was rejected. I realized soon after that I was just found 'cute'. Not dating material. Especially for a guy like Sully. I had made my decision, tommorow I was not showing up as 'cute'. I was going to be 'hot'. And maybe that...could atleast make Jt take more than a second glance at me.

I had planned my outfit carefully for that day. Making sure it was perfect. Making sure there was nothing wrong.

Taking a deep breath I then walked up the few steps to Degrassi and headed in. The first thing I saw was Toby,Jt, Kendra, Emma trying to as it seemed like comfort Jt. I looked at him more closly and realized Jt looked like he might cry. I walked over quickly as they looked up at me. If they noticed my new look they didnt say anything.

"Something wrong?",I asked worridly.

Jt shook his head walking off followed by Toby. Changing my focus on Emma I waited for an answer.

"Jt...Jt's dad died."
