Prone to Disaster
Craig pulled open the doors to Degrassi Community School walking in slowly so the air-conditioned school could cool his sweaty, summer face. A bead of sweat trickled down his cheeks when he saw Manny Santos head to the girl's washroom. He wiped his forehead with the back of his hands vastly. He saw Spinner enter the building from behind and walked slower motioning for him to catch up.
"How was your summer?" Spinner asked cheerfully. "Miserably disappointing." Craig replied shaking his head. "Ah, it couldn't of been that bad, at least Ash or Manny didn't tell anyone about the…" Spinner trailed off in a slow whisper. "I couldn't get my mind of 'em the whole time." Craig replied solemnly. "But your right, they didn't tell anyone, so I don't think anyone knows. I heard Emma and Manny are friends again so she obviously told her though." He continued quietly.
Spinner peeked at the ruffled slip of paper in Craig's hand. His face became pale as he read Craig's locker number. "Dude, that means your locker buddy is," he said, his eyes widening. "Yeah, I know, I'm sharing a locker with Manny." he sad sadly. "Come on, there's still hope." He comforted. "The only chance of 'hope' I have will sprout when pigs fly." Craig replied waving to Spinner as the two found their lockers.
Craig twisted the locker dial slowly. His heart thumped as Manny approached the locker. Her eyes widened as big as Spinner's recently had. She sighed deeply. "Hello locker buddy." She said with a look of disappointment on her face that jingled a thread of guilt in Craig's body. Craig opened the locker for her, "Take as much space as you want." He gestured toward the locker.
Manny quickly separated her books from Craig's and muttered, "Those new Degrassi students that are causing the whole 'locker buddy' thing better be happy." The bell rang as she trotted to class making Craig feel even more guilty.

Ashley set her tray down gracefully and took her seat by Jimmy. (A/N: Yes, I know, but one of my favorite pairings is the old AshJimmy pairing :P) He pecked her on the cheek. Paige sat down and started gossiping with her.
When Ashley saw sign of Craig she immediately narrowed her eyes and didn't stop glaring at him until he sat down. 'Well this is my life.' He thought sitting down by Paige and Spinner. Ash didn't take her eyes of Craig until the bell rang. She glared at him as her and Ellie walked to get their books. Craig went to his locker to find Manny.
His heart melted. "H-hey M-Manny." He said, his words short and choppy. "Hey Craig." She replied with her rich, sweet voice. "Y-you look g-gr-great today you know." He complemented. Suddenly, a blonde haired boy with spiked hair walked up to Manny and put his arm around her. She kissed him intimately. Craig's eyes widened with jealousy. When the boy left, Craig turned to Manny.
"Who?" he said trying to get more detailed words out of his mouth. "Yeah, Kyle is my boyfriend." She said in an annoyed tone. "B-but" he stuttered. Manny walked away and said, looking over her shoulder, "But nothing, there's nothing you can do about it." Craig stood there, his jaw hanging open. 'Nothing you can do about it' rang through his head. There had to be something.
(A/N: Yeah, Manny and Craig fic. This story also includes some other pairings also. It's kind of obvious though. Anywho, stay tuned for the next chapter! READ & REVIEW!)
