Silent Cries Covered Pain

Christina sat restlessly in her seat waiting for this Simpson guy to shut up but it didn't seem like he would ever stop. He was a really nice guy but he could go on and on. Finally the bell rung and all the students jumped out of their seats saying goodbye to dear Mr. Simpson expect Her oh and that Sean guy who immediately through his backpack over his shoulder and walked out. Christina reached for her backpack and she began to leave that was until she was stopped by Mr. Simpson.

"Hey Christina can you wait for a sec" He said calling after her before she left

Christina let out a loud sigh and spun around.

"Sure"

"Um I was taking a look through your file and it saids your from the States L.A. to be exact, I was kind of surprise that you didn't want to share that with the class, especially being though your dad owns most of the popular places" He said going on before she finally stopped him

"So you wanted me to tell a whole bunch of mindless teenage strangers that I'm from the States and WAS once rich" She hissed

"Sorry I don't understand your dad as I looked up is still very wealthy" Mr. Simpson said beginning to walk over to the door and close the door so they could have a more private conversation

Christina started towards him.

"So what are you the guidance counselor now you're just my Homeroom teacher why were you looking through my files"

"Well here at Degrassi we always share a little Background information with the teachers so that we can know how to relate to them"

"Well I can give you one less student to worry about because I want no teacher to try to relate to me, because not one teacher here could so how about you share a little Background information with the rest of the Teachers here and tell them to mind their own business and stick to their job teaching" Christina said pushing pasted him

Manny reached her new locker it was kind of in the cool section but not so much as last year. But maybe that was a good thing being that her popularity had dropped since the whole Craig thing, and then the baby and abortion. Ashley on the other hand popularity had sky-rocketed her being the whole "Hurt girlfriend". She didn't seem so "hurt" to her she seemed vindictive towards her but everyone thought maybe in some sense she deserved it besides she was the Homewreker that destroyed everything. That's how everyone seemed to be looking at her anyway even Emma thought she deserved a little of the rude comments, evil glares and nasty whispers behind her back though she wouldn't admit it there was a look in her eyes that told a different story.

"Hey Manny Hun wait up" She heard a female voice call being no other than Paige at least she still remained to be somewhat of her friend even though it was hard for her being that Ashley was her Best Friend since well since forever

"Yeah Paige" Manny said trying to said as upbeat as possible even though she didn't feel upbeat really she felt alone and gloomy

"Um...Practice since you're like not in none of the major Cheers maybe you could do something else like catch a movie or something just kick back and relax" Paige said sounding kind of out of character

"Paige tell me the real reason you don't want me there" Manny snapped unable to believe she had even said something like that Manny had been there for every Practice even if she didn't have a part meaning she just sat in the stands and watch the other girls Practice

"Okay Manny you know you were like the best girl on the team...." Before Paige could finish Manny jumped in with a look of disbelief on her face

"Were what do you mean were I still am I can prove it and you know I can Paige you've always been straight forward sometimes a little too much so but you were always honest just tell me the truth" Manny said snapping at her

"Okay Fine It's the girls on the Squad they've been talking and I'm just trying to spare your feelings because lots of girls are still siding with Ashley and their saying pretty mean things, things that have even shocked me I think maybe you should just chill for awhile let this thing blow over I mean completely blow over" Paige said still in a common voice

"No! Paige I've given everyone enough time I made some stupid mistakes last year Big ones, huge ones even but that no reason to ask me to take a break from the Spirit Squad" Manny shouted causing a rather familiar seen to the one she did when She told Paige off before

"Listen Manny As captain of the Spirit Squad I'm not asking you to take a break I'm demanding okay I'm doing this not only for you but the Spirit Squad we need a strong team and when everyone doesn't get along the Squad slowly falls apart, Your just going to have to Deal okay" Paige said walking off

"Urgh Paige!" Manny screamed though Paige didn't make an effort to turn around

Manny closed her eyes and slid down her locker hitting her head against it.

"Yeah can you do this some where else maybe like away from my locker"

Manny opened her eyes and looked up at the Dark haired girl who stood in front of her and studied her. She had long black hair that stopped at her mid-back. She wore a Red Sleeveless shirt and dark black faded jeans covering her red and white sneakers. The girl wasn't completely foreign to her she had remembered Mr. Simpson giving a quick introduction but her not wanting to say anything. Her name was Christina Smith.
