I still don't own Degrassi.
Chapter Seven: Light of Some Kind
Craig floated to school the next day, wishing the rest of the week could vanish with a snap of his fingers. He wanted it to be Saturday. Coralie wanted him, of course he wanted it to be Saturday.
Ellie and Marco were standing at his locker. Marco grinned at him. "Hey, heard you have plans for this weekend."
"I don't know what you are talking about, I'm going out with you guys."
Ellie smiled "I was at work this morning, don't forget."
"What did Coralie say?" Craig didn't want to seem to curious, but he was.
"I asked her about Sean, and she said sure, that way I'd have someone to play with. Then she made a comment about getting Marco someone to play with."
"Note-she didn't mention you." Marco added.
"No shit, Marco, can I finish?" Marco nodded and Ellie went on. "So I asked about you, Craig, and do you know what she said? Do you?"
"Of course not, Ellie, I wasn't there! What'd she say?"
"She said she had plans for you." Ellie and Marco looked at him. "Now, why would she say that...in the context of 'playing' with people?"
"She was baby-sitting for Angie last night. Left early, saying she liked danger but not in Joey's house, and kissed me."
"Craig, you stud!"
"Marco, don't say that..bad memories." Craig winced as he thought about Spinner calling him that when he'd found out about Manny. HE didn't want to be that sort of stud anymore. But he wouldn't mind playing with Coralie. After all, it was just playing around, nothing serious.
Craig was eating lunch alone when Sean came over to sit with him. "Ellie was saying we're going out this weekend?"
"You, me, Ellie and Marco. The three of us went last weekend. With Coralie-she's Caitlin's intern."
"Caitlin's the woman Ellie works for?"
"Also known as Joey's girlfriend." Craig nodded at Sean's surprise. "Since Christmas, anyway, Coralie has a side business-fake IDs. She's wild as fuck, but its fun, you know."
"I see. Well, I'm up for fun. You know Tracker won't care."
"We just all gotta get out of the house for a full night. Ellie's Mom won't care, Marco's parents and Joey will be the problem."
Problem solved, Craig thought to himself. Joey was explaining that Caitlin had been working really hard and he was taking her away for the weekend. Angie was staying at her grandparents, but Caitlin had convinced Joey that Craig was old enough to stay by himself, even after what had happened last year.
"Thank you Joey. Thanks so much, Caitlin. I have one question though."
"What is it Craig." Joey asked, scared at what it would be.
"Can I have Marco and Sean stay over? And Ellie might come over for a bit too, Saturday. Just them, though. Ellie's got a thing for Sean."
"I think that's reasonable, just Saturday though. And we will be calling."
Caitlin looked at Joey. "Why don't we just call Friday, to make sure Craig's alone. We have to trust him, he's sixteen. He'll be taking driver's ed in the spring."
Joey agreed with Caitlin, and Craig was glad that he had such a reasonable girlfriend. He got along with Caitlin better than Joey sometimes.
Craig thanked them again and ran to call Marco and Sean. This was going to be perfect.
