"Hey, Craig," Marco said. Marco was the last one in the garage. Spinner had taken off with Paige and Jimmy remembered he had homework he still had to do for Hatzilakos. "What's up?"
"Nothing," Craig replied.
"You've been acting really…off, since you and Ashley broke up," he said.
"Well, Ash was my first serious girlfriend," Craig said.
"Yeah," Marco replied. "I know. But there's something you're not telling me."
Craig looked at him. "I can't tell you," he replied. "I can't tell anyone unless Sammy wants me to."
"Why?"
"Because Sammy and I don't want anyone talking."
"About what?"
"Nothing."
"No! You can't leave me hanging. Come on tell me. I kept my being gay a secret so I can keep your secret. Tell me."
Craig looked around to make sure no one was there. Joey and Caitlin had gone to the park with Angela so the two of them were there alone. "Ok," he replied. "Do you swear not to tell?"
Marco nodded.
"Well, the second day of school, right after I broke it off with Ash…" Marco nodded again. "Sammy and I…you know."
"You guys had sex?"
"Yeah," Craig said. "Swear not to tell anyone."
"I swear," Marco replied. He crossed his heart. "A good Italian boy never goes back on his word."
Craig patted his friend on the head. "Good Italian boy," he said. Marco made a face at him.
"I'll see you tomorrow," Craig said.
"See you," Marco replied, walking out of the garage. Craig walked into the house and up to his room. He put his guitar away and got on the Degrassi website.
