Once Again, Degrassi is not mine. Craig Manning is not mine. I don't have much. Trust me *looks around dorm room* Nope, not much at all
Authors Note: THe song they dance to in the previous chapter is Madonna's "Cherish" I forgot to put that in there.
This chapter is mostly filler for what's to come. A preview: Caught. Pulling Away. Tin roof, rusted. (Brush up on your 80s music lore and you might figure out what happens next)
Chapter Six: First Date
Craig Manning floated through the first two days of his week. Who wouldn't-he had a date on Thursday with the most beautiful woman on planet earth, Iris Masters. He'd told his stepfather that he was going downtown to price new amps, so that was taken care of. Iris had even offered to stop at a couple music stores with him so he could look at amps and not be lying. He was so happy he kept checking to see if his feet were still on the ground
Of course, it was Wednesday at lunch, so he still had to manage through another day and a half.
"Craig, come over here." Marco was sitting with Spinner and Jimmy, of all people, but Craig wasn't going to let that bring him down. The three boys were talking about the math assignment, and Craig joined into the converstation.
THen the topic changed. "So, what do you guys think about the hottie student teacher." Spinner looked at Craig when he said that, knowing that Marco would say something to remind Spinner that all the student teachers this year were women.
"We don't have any male student teachers," As usual Marco was predictable. "But what one to you mean?"
"The one with Simpson," Jimmy said. "She looks like she's dying to have someone take the bun out of her hair. If you know what I mean." Spinner and him both snickered at that.
Marco looked at them. "oh, come on, how do you guys not know she has a life outside work."
"She's a teacher." Spinner, said, with a duh look.
"So's Mr. Simpson and he's married with a baby." Craig cut into the discussion. "I mean, we don't know anything about Miss Masters." He was doing a good job in keeping himself calm, somehow knowing that flipping out would make Spinner and Jimmy suspicious.
"True, but I want to find out, we should ask her about herself during homeroom tomorrow." Craig gulped at that comment, scared shitless about what would happen when they asked her. Could they keep this a secret?
THe next morning in homeroom Spinner spoke up. "Miss Masters, how come we don't know anything about you?"
"I'm a teacher."
"We know about Mr. Simpson's life, though. Why not yours."
Jimmy joined in in the questioning "Yeah, tell us about you."
IRis smiled, very happy that she was good at lying about certain things-namely, Craig. "What do you want to know."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Somehow Iris knew that would be the first question asked. Looking at Jimmy, who'd been the one to ask she said "yes, I have one. NOt that its any of your business. I'm also 20 years old, I love music from the 1980s, and I live with two friends and a cousin. I think thats enough answers for one day."
Mr. Simpson broke in "Yes, i think so too, plus the bells about to ring."
IT did, and Iris managed to sneak a look at Craig. He looked as releaved as she felt. And tonight was the date.
They met for dinner at 6:30, and it was nice. Then they went for a walk, and kissed good bye, making plans to meet the next weekend.
NOthing could go wrong, could it?
