Chapter 2
Meanwhile in the Degrassi hallways...
Hazel is opening her locker, when her boyfriend Jerome comes up behind her
locker door. She closes her locker, and is mildly startled.
Hazel: Hey Romeo. What's up?
Jerome: Um Hazel, I think we need to talk.
Hazel: Uh, sure.
Next scene, Hazel and Paige are walking down the hallways. Hazel is crying.

Paige: Hazel, please tell me what happened.
Hazel: I'm sorry Paige, but I just cant right now.
Paige sighs. Paige: Fine. Oh look (pointing), there's Jerome!
She waves, Jerome sort of waves uncertainly then walks a little faster.
Hazel takes a glance at him, starts to cry harder, then runs into the
bathroom. Paige follows her. By the time Paige gets to the bathroom, Hazel
is already in a stall. Ashley and Terri are also in the bathroom.
Ashley: Hey Paige.
Paige: Uh, hey guys.
Terri, in a sort of whisper: What's wrong with Hazel?
Hazel, yelling from the stall: I'm not deaf!
Terri: Sorry.
Hazel unlocks the stall and comes out.
Hazel: Look. Jerome broke it off with me this morning before homeroom.
Ashley: Hazel I'm so sorry.
Hazel kind of smiles.
Hazel: Thanks.
Paige: Yeah that's a total tragedy, but why?
Hazel blinks, as if holding back tears.
Hazel: He said, he said that Heather Sinclair asked him out, and he'd
rather go out with her than me.
Terri: Hazel that's terrible.
Hazel: I guess it's because Heather is more popular than me. And she's so
much prettier than I am.
Paige: Hun, Heather is not more popular than you, because I am so much more
popular than her, which makes you more popular by association.
Ashley rolls her eyes at Paige, then sighs.
Ashley: Hazel, don't put yourself down like that. Heather is not prettier
than you. You're gorgeous.
Hazel: Thanks Ash.
They hug. The bell rings.
Terri: C'mon guys don't want to be late for Kwan.
The scene changes to Emma and their gang in their first period Media
Immersion class.
Since Emma cant get Manny to talk to her, she tries to private message her.
SparkleSpaz: Manny, I'm sorry. You DO NOT have a mustache.
She turns around to check if Manny has received the message.
Manny is working on her assignment, when a message pops up from
SparkleSpaz. She reluctantly reads it, then replies.
SmileyGurl: Yes I do. No need to try to make me feel better. I mean, look
at you. You're dating Sean, super hottie.
Emma gets the message, and is unsure of how to reply to it. Finally, she
types.
SparkleSpaz: Manny, cmon. You know I didn't mean it. Heck, I didn't even
say it!
Suddenly, Mr. Simpson looks up from his desk.
Mr. Simpson: Manny, Emma, I can always tell when you're messaging each
other instead of doing classwork.
Manny and Emma: Sorry Mr. Simpson.
The girls turn around to look at each other and smile.
Chapter 3 coming soon.
