"Where I Wanna Be"

A Degrassi Fan Fiction

Chapter 5: Be Mine


After I was done dancing with Chino, I sat down with Paige and Hazel. I sighed and put my head in my hands.

"So, what's up with you and Jimmy?" Hazel asked.

"I don't know...." I said. "He was gonna ask me something, but Chino cut in."

Paige and Hazel exchanged knowing looks.

"Hon, you'd better find Jimmy. I have a feeling you're gonna like what he's going to ask you." Paige said, smiling.

I shrugged. "Okay, whatever y'all say."

I got up and looked around for Jimmy. I found him in the corner, hands in his pockets.

"Hey," I said, coming up to him. "What were you gonna ask me?"

He looked up. "Oh, that. Right."

He took a bag of candy hearts out of his pocket. "Pick one."

"Okay..." I fished around the bag and came up with a pretty pink one.

"Read it. The message is what I wanna say..."

I looked at the heart shaped candy and laughed a little. It read "BE MINE" in bright red letters.

"That's mad cute." I said, smile on my face.

"I know we've only known each other for about a week or something, but I'm really feeling you. I mean, you're sweet, funny, nice, and you looking good. You know?" He put his hands up and I laughed. "But anyways, will you?"

I looked at him. "...as long as your 100% you."

"When am I not?" He smiled and stuck the bag back into his pocket.

"Awright then...be mine." I said, putting the candy in my pocket.

"Any day." He leaned in and our lips met. It was like any older person will tell you. I mean fireworks, music, and just this feeling. So hard to explain kind of feeling...I felt, I don't know....complete. Whole. It was just indescribable. Nothing I'd ever felt before.

He pulled back and grinned. "So...Raquel's my girlfriend! Aha, suckers!"

I raised my eyebrow and laughed. "Jimmy...who are you talking too?"

We walked to Paige and Hazel hand in hand. I couldn't wait to tell them Jimmy was finally my man.
