Misplaced Anger
Manny taped her fingers on the desk in the library as the police questioned her.
"Can you tell me what happened again this morning when you saw James Yorke" The very young-looking Male cop which Manny had learned his name was Chris asked
"I told you what happened a million times I don't want to talk about it anymore" Manny snapped at him she didn't want to tell the story over again it made her feel guilty made her feel as though maybe if she would gotten there sooner or if she hadn't turned him down so many times this wouldn't have had happened even though she knew it all wasn't her fault she knew there was more to what happened but her knowing that made her feel even more guilty.
"We just want to make sure this was a suicide and that it wasn't accidental" Officer Chris said
"What that he didn't go into the Boys Washroom wanting to kill himself what his fingers slipped and hit the trigger" Manny hissed at him
"Manny we're just here to find out what happened to that Kid" He said placing a hand on her shoulder
"That kid was my best friend since I was four okay four and I just saw his body in the boys washroom so I'm sorry If I don't feel like telling the damn sorry over and over again" Manny getting out of her seat and knocking over some papers and swinging the library door open really wide and letting it slam behind her
Meanwhile back in the gym
"Well I guess you guys have the day off to take everything in, I know this is really hard for all of you I'm sure you'll find support and comfort in your friends and Family and remember your not alone we all care about you here at Degrassi and if you need to talk Ms.Sauve the guidance counselor she is always here to talk" Mr. Raditach said dismissing the Students
The students hesitantly got up from there seat some of the grade nines finding it hard to feeling as though they couldn't move and even some of the grade tens.
Paige who hadn't stop crying since Mr. Raditach announced it was Jt cried harder and harder into Spinner's chest soaking his shirt but he didn't care he wanted to be there for Paige.
"It's going to be okay for Paige" Spinner said patting her on her back walking her on the back as they walked out of the gym
"Yeah how do you know that Spinner he was such a sweet kid he was there for me when I needed him the most and all you gave him was grief" Paige suddenly turning on him and walking away
"Paige wait please Paige" Spinner called after but her brother had already gotten to her and she was now crying into his arms as he walked her home
"What happened" A voice from behind him called which he immediately recognized was Craig's
"I don't know man she just totally snapped saying I gave him grief and all I mean I know that doesn't she think I beating myself up enough for it" Spinner said turning to face him
"Yeah I'm sure you're really hurting over this" A female voice said behind to which Craig saw was Emma and when he Spinner turned around he felt even more guilty she had witnessed all the times he had picked on him when he his grade nine even a little this year Craig had just come here last year he hadn't witnessed everything
"That's not fair Em how was he to know that Jt would......." Craig started but not wanting to finish his sentence not wanting to hurt her
"Like you know anything you just came here last year" Emma angrily hissed at him
"He's right Emma I never wanted anything like this to Jt" He said pleading for her to believe him
"Yeah sure" Emma said rolling her eyes and putting her glance on the front steps
"Hey Craig Man I'm going to go home before everyone starts attacking me" Spinner said turning away
"No you should go home and pray that somehow god can forgive for being apart of Jt's unhappiness" Emma yelled to him
Craig grabbed on her shoulders spinning her toward him
"Emma how could you say that he didn't mean for anything like that to happen it wasn't his fault"
"So who fault is it" Emma said to him
"It's......its Jt's fault he wanted to d...." Before he could finish his statement Emma slapped him
"You knew nothing about him don't ever talk about him like that" Emma said turning on her heels and walking not out the school but to a familiar place where she could think to herself
Craig quietly began to follow when he felt someone tap him on his shoulder he spun around to see Ashley he hadn't spoken to her every since the day she found out Manny was pregnant.
"Hey how are you taking all of this" She said looking down at the floor then at him
"Well I guess I didn't really know him but I do kind of feel guilty for the way I treated him"
"He was a sweet kid, pretty funny too the people who are going to have it the hardest is Toby, Liberty, Emma and Paige but the person that has it the hardest is Manny"
"Yeah I'm looking for her"
"Well the last I heard she was being questioning in the Library"
"Thanks I'll go check"
"Well give her my deepest sympathy she isn't my favorite person but it was plain as day how close they were when they first came here they looked like they really cared for each other like brother and sister kind of"
"Yeah well give my best to Toby" Craig said walking off
"Thanks I will" Ashley said watching him walk away
Meanwhile Manny was walking through out the hall almost hearing Jt laughing and talking to her she could fell the tears streaming down her face. She kept walking until she saw Jt's locker she ran her fingers over it and burst into tears as she slid down his locker. Manny looked out the door and saw all the students going home early one boy riding his skateboard looking just like Jt. Manny whipped her eyes she couldn't cry cause she knew she wouldn't be able to stop. Manny just sat there by his locker pulling her legs into her chest. When she looked up saw Jay and Sean walk past her and heard Jay making a nasty comment.
"Hey cutie guess what I see dead people" He said cracking up but Manny noticed that Sean hadn't made a sound until he snapped at him
"Man shut up that was her friend that just died that was my friend that just died have some damn respect" Sean said
"Okay man don't blow my head off" Jay said bursting into laughter again
"Man fuck you just go Man" Sean yelled at him
"It was a joke loosen up Sean Man"
"Just go" Sean said pointing towards the door
"Damn I thought you had a sense of humor Cameron" Jay said leaving
Sean walked over to Manny and sat down
"Hey you okay" Sean said quietly
"I don't think I'm going to know what okay is going to be for awhile" Manny said looking into his eyes
"Well I'm sorry for Jay he can be a real Ass sometimes"
"That's Okay right now I just wish I had Jt's sense of humor to make all this go away"
"Yeah he was a funny kid" Sean said
"Why the hell is everyone saying was he's only been dead what a hour and now everyone putting past tense on him" Manny said pushing off of the locker and getting up and pushing the Front door open
"Manny wait" Sean said getting up from off of the floor and running after
