"Where I Wanna Be"
A Degrassi Fan Fiction
Chapter 12: It's A Wrap
{{{Chris}}}
"Chris, what's the matter? You've been acting really weird lately." My girlfriend, Emma Nelson, said to me.
"I know...it's just. You'll find out soon enough." We were right by Jimmy and I could hear him talking on his cell phone.
"Awright, the-Dot. Tonight's Friday, yeah...At six? Awright. Bye." He hung up his phone and walked away.
The-Dot at six? I could work with that.

"Why? Yo, I gots homework and what not." Raquel protested. Chris was trying to get her to go to the-dot with him, but it was hard work.
"C'mon Raquel, me and you haven't chilled in an ill minute." He said.
Raquel looked at him. "We just did at that party at tha undaground."
Chris grinned sheepishly. "I meant together. We don't feel like friends no more."
"Aha you so stupid!" Raquel hit him over the head with a pillow. "Aight, I'ma go now."
Chris grinned and said an inward 'Yes!' before exiting her bedroom.
"Hat 2 tha back, gotta keep my pants down below...that's the kinda girl I am, that's the kinda girl I am." Raquel sang to herself as she rummaged through her messy closet.
Triumphantly, she pulled out a white wifebeata, a pair of her favorite low rise jeans, and her old baby blue Adidas sneakers. She combed her hair, and decided to leave it straight and just part it in the middle. The last thing she added to her simple outfit, was a pair of large silver hoop earrings that she loved.
"Aight Chris. Let's be off this." Raquel called to her friend down the hallway. Her father was willing to drive them to the grill, and Raquel thanked him.
Raquel jumped into the passenger seat of the car and immediately turned up the system, allowing J-Kwon's "Tipsy" to blast through the speakers.
"'Das what's really good." She said matter of factly. Chris smiled and shook his head at his best friend. It felt good to know that he was helping her. In a way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jimmy?" Maria asked. Jimmy looked up and tried to shake his head free of all his guilty thoughts. 'Maria shouldn't be here with me, Raquel should...'
"Maria..." He trailed off. Maria was a great person, and he liked her, but he didn't love her. So, he decided, he was going to break it off with her.
"Yeah Chris that movie was dope!" Jimmy heard a loud familiar voice coming through the door to the-dot. He glanced at the doorway and saw none other than Chris and Raquel.
"Wasn't it? Let's sit right...here." Chris purposely took the seat in front of Jimmy and Maria, hoping Raquel would notice the two.
"Jimmy? You were saying something?" Maria asked.
Jimmy looked at her and nodded slowly. "I'm sorry but-"
Raquel turned around when she heard Jimmy's voice. She was shocked to see he was accompanied by none other than the same hoochie Chino was dancing with at the party. Her mouth dropped open and her anger started boiling up.
"I'ma just stay calm and confront him later." Raquel said to herself, breathing slowly. Chino raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything to his best friend. After a half hour of conversation, Maria finally got up and left. Raquel immediately got up and sat down next to Jimmy.
"Jimmy..." Was all she said.
"I'm not with that girl." He replied.
Raquel just stared at him. "I saw you Jimmy!"
"But I broke up with her. Raquel, I love you." Jimmy's answer was true, but Raquel couldn't believe him.
"How you going to sit here and tell lies to my face? Niggah, it's done. Terminado, finished. It's...a wrap." She slowly got up and left, followed by Chris who was throwing Looks at Jimmy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raquel prayed to her favorite soul diva, Mary J, to help her. She popped in a c.d and sang a long, realizing the power in Mary's lyrics. 'Dem niggahs will never change...' she thought to herself. 'I can only count on Tony, Chris, and Malik...that's it.'
It's a wrap
How you gonna do me like that
I thought the love was good
But I misunderstood baby
It's a wrap
And I am not surprised
How you could sit right here
And look me in my eyes and tell a lie
He had lied straight to her face, allowing her to give him her virginity while he had been messing around with some hoochie. Raquel shook her head and lay down on her bed. It's a wrap....It's A wrap...It's A WRAP.

"Raquel...can I come in?" My little brother asked through the door. I got up and unlocked it.
"Come in." I said, wiping my eyes. "What is it?"
Malik jumped up on my bed and lay down. "Raquel...I have a secret. I'm not supposed to tell you though."
"What?" I asked, sitting down on the foot of my bed.
"Hazel and Tony are...dating. They're in Tony's room right now. They forgot that on the weekends you're home."
"Why weren't you supposed to tell me?" I asked, confused.
"'Cause they don't want you to know."
"Malik go to sleep, aight?" I said. I got up and walked down the hallway and into my brothers room, where I found him and Hazel making out.
"I am so heated with y'all right now."
I really didn't care that they were dating. I was just heated that they were keeping secrets from me.
"Raquel-" Hazel started.
"Yo, I really don't care y'all are dating. But y'all coulda told me or somethin'." I said, crossing my arms.
A look of relief passed over their faces.
"Y'all shouldn't be relieved. I can't believe y'all didn't tell me! Hazel were supposed to be best friends!" I cried, tears streaming down my face. I don't know why I was being so over emotional. I guess the whole impact of the break up and the cheating got to me.
They stayed silent.
"Y'all can continue to date...what the hell, y'all don't need my permission! But anyways, I don't think I'll be chilling with you, Haze. Until I'm sure you won't lie to me..."
I walked out of the room as a tear started making it's way down her cheek.
It's a Wrap...It's a Wrap...It's a WRAP.
