Chapter 4: Jimmy's in Love
On Monday morning, Terri, Hazel and Paige walked to Degrassi Community
School together. Terri got looks from girls and many especially from guys.
She walked up to Jimmy.
"Hi Jimmy," said Terri. Jimmy turned around.
"Whoa! Is that you Terri?" Jimmy asked.
"Yep."
"You look.good."
"Thanks, so what's up?"
"I think I should be asking that. You really look great, Ter."
"I know."
"Yeah Terri, I like your new look!" Spinner said. Paige made a signal that
she didn't like what he said. Spinner stopped.
"What Paige? I can't help it if you're not the only hot girl anymore," said
Spinner.
"Fine then, don't expect to talk to me today."
"Paige, wait up!" Spinner screamed. Spinner and Hazel ran to catch up with
Paige.
"Anyway, Terri I can't get over how good you look."
"Jimmy, I feel so loved." She kissed him on the cheek. Jimmy started to
blush.
"So you dumped me for Jimmy?" Rick asked. He was getting super jealous.
"No, I just don't like you!" Terri answered.
"Jimmy isn't good enough for you."
"That's between me and Terri," said Jimmy.
"I wasn't talking to you, Jimmy."
"Well now you are."
"Listen to me. Terri only has one guy for her. Me. Not you. Me."
"Just who the hell do you think you are making decisions for her?" Jimmy
asked. "Get the hell out of my face before my fist gets near it."
"I'm not going anywhere."
Jimmy took his fist and punched Rick in the face. Terri screamed.
"You guys, stop fighting! Jimmy, leave him be. I'm never gonna get back
with him."
"Fine. But then when I find a new soul mate, you'll regret dumping me!"
Rick screamed. He left.
"Jimmy, would you like to go out sometime?" Terri asked.
"Cool. I want to. Tonight at 8, okay?"
"It's a date!"
The two of them walked the rest of the way to homeroom.
Meanwhile in homeroom. Ellie, Ashley, Marco and Rick are all sitting at one
table.
"Why does Terri like Jimmy more than me? She asked him out and they're
going out tonight!" Rick said.
"Maybe because TERRI LIKES JIMMY MORE THAN YOU!!!?" Ashley said.
"Or maybe I need to change my look."
"No way," said Marco. "You look bad already and you don't wanna look worse.
"You guys are so mean," said Ellie. "Rick, maybe it's time for you to move
on. Terri is not the only girl in this world."
"Do you really think another girl would be interested in ME?" Rick asked.
"Of course, a girl would be lucky to have you."
"Thanks, I gotta go to class. See ya."
"See ya."
"Ellie, what was that?" Ashley asked. "I thought you hated Rick!"
"I was just giving advice."
"It seems like you have a little crush on Rick Hamilton," said Marco.
"Okay fine, I confess. I kinda like him."
"But you're two different people."
"Marco, like you would know what love is like. Up to now, you still haven't
hooked up with Dylan."
"Correction Ellie, like YOU know anything about love. You have a crush on
Rick. Of all people, Rick. He isn't even a little cute," said Marco. Ashley
and Marco started to crack up.
"Well fine," said Ellie. "I know that we're really different, but the
clique you come from doesn't matter. Stop labeling people."
"Save it for your book, Ellie!" said Ashley. Marco and Ashley laughed
again.
"Listen Ash," said Ellie. "You have nothing to say. You used to have two
guys in love with you in grade 8. Then it became none. Then now in grade
10, Craig cheated on you and once again. You have no one. I wonder why
Craig cheated on you. And do you have any guys that like you now? Once
again, NO!!"
Ashley closed her mouth. She was a little hurt by what Ellie said.
"Ellie, that was harsh."
"But the truth hurts," said Ellie.
Ashley stormed out of the room. Marco looked at Ellie in disappointment.
"El, that was pretty mean. Ash has been through a lot all of these years.
She's doing what she can. But if I remember well, you used to cut yourself,
so no one is perfect." Marco left the room, looking for Ashley.
"Forget them," said Ellie. "I'm gonna get Rick to be mine.
Note: I know that this whole Ellie/Ash/Marco thing sounds a bit OOC, but
that's how I want my story to be. It does sound weird, Ellie saying mean
things to Ash and Marco, but they had it coming.
