What I Like About You
By:MissUnderstdPoet
Summary: J.T. finally found a girl worthy enough to replace Paige, her name is Jasmine Wong ("Call me Jazz") and she's new. Oh yeah and did I mention she's in Grade 9, hangs with Ashley, Ellie and Terri, (she's friends with Ashley again in this FF)AND his Language Arts tutor? Plus Hazel has a secret that could end up killing her, why else would she be skipping cheerleading practices and sports games all of a sudden?
Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Degrassi:The Next Generation, don't sue me blah blah blah. I own Jazz, Angie, J&A's parents, and the plot. WARNING:MUSHY, MAY INCLUDE FLUFFY BUNNY-NESS! ALSO INCLUDES SELF-ABUSE!
This chapo dives deeper into Hazel's problem. Don't ask how I know so much about cutters, I read a lot of books. Anyways, here's the next chapter, hope you like it! ^_^
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
a/n: Ok, could someone explain to me exactly what a Mary Sue IS?! If it's a bad thing I can change it... Thanks to whoever will/has explain(ed).

"Could you get ANY stupider?!" exclaimed Emma after J.T. had told her and Manny about what he heard
"You'll be lucky if she goes out with you when she finds out that you were eavesdropping! Plus, I heard that Spinner is going to ask her to the homecoming dance, and what girl has ever let Spinner down?" Manny said, all in one breath
"Yeah, well thanks for your support!" J.T. said in a mock cheery voice and went to meet Toby at the M.I. Lab
Meanwhile Ashley was trying to get Jazz to ask J.T. out, and Jazz was of course, not going to.
"Why not?!" exclaimed Ash
"BECAUSE-" Jazz lowered her voice so as not to attract Paige's attention, "because, I'm just no that kind of girl. When I was a kid, I always chased after the boys and my parents wouldn't take me seriously until I stopped. It's just not something that I DO anymore, I become a nervous wreck and-"
"And he likes you back and would say YES!" Ash cut her off
"What's this? Freak in prep's clothes got boy trouble?" Paige intervened
Jazz fumed, between her crisis and Paige's "accidental" poppings up all over the place to insult her she was NOT in the mood for more.
"Fuck off Barbie!" Jazz and Ashley spat out at the same time
Paige stood there in shock.
"What did you say to me?"
"You heard us, get your plastic self out of our faces" Ashley snarled
"I'll go where I want to" Paige challenged her
Just then, the bell rang, saving them all from an ugly scene. Ash and Jazz headed off to Mrs. Kwan's room while Paige made her way to P.E. but having trouble finding Hazel.
Hazel was by the sink, about to sink the knife into the skin of her right arm which was already littered with scars. Just then, Paige walked in and saw Hazel hastily trying to stuff the knife away.
"Haze what are you doing?!" cried Paige
"It's nothing." Hazel replied quickly, pulling down her sleeves
"C'mon let me see your arms" urged Paige
"NO!" exclaimed Hazel as she backed away
"Hazel it's for your own good!" Paige said and got a hold of her arms
As Hazel struggled, Paige managed to pull up the long sleeves of Hazel's shirt. Her eyes widened as she saw the tannish scars leaping out from all over Hazel's arms. There were even two cuts that looked like they had been done this morning, just barely scabbing over.
"Hazel...we have to tell someone about this, this is self-abuse. You can't keep doing this." Paige said, still in shock
"No we don't! You have to keep this a secret! You don't understand! It makes me feel better, like I'm relieved after I cut. And I need to, it doesn't hurt and I never cut too deep! Just enough to bleed." Hazel said desperately
"Ok, ok. Calm down. I won't tell if you tone down the cutting and tell me what's going on." Paige offered, not knowing the full magnitude of Hazel's problem.
"I can't tell you, you wouldn't understand!" Hazel cried
And with that she ran out of the bathroom, out of the school, past Mr. Radich (sp?) and to her deserted house. Leaving Paige in total shock, not sure what had just happened. She did know though, that for the first time in years, she had seen Hazel cry.
Meanwhile, in Mrs. Kwan's class, the students were taking turns going up to the chalkboard and writing the poem that showed what they were feeling at the moment and then reading it out loud. At Jimmy's inquiry, Mrs. Kwan said it was ok for them to pick a PART of a song and read that. It was Jazz's turn to the board and when she read out loud what she had written, Ashley wished that J.T. had been there to hear it. After writing from memory part of a song, she said it out loud.
"'Cause you're everywhere to me, and when I close my eyes it's you I see. You're everything I know that makes me believe I'm not alone. I'm not alone. 'Cause you're everywhere to me, and when I catch my breath it's you I breath you're everything I know that makes me beilieve I'm not alone. You're in everyone I see, so tell me...do you see me? ~~ Michelle Branch, song's called Everywhere." Jazz said and sat down
"Very good Jasmine, definitely shows your true feelings." Mrs. Kwan commented
As they left the class Spinner approached Jazz.

I wanna give in to the woman in me, I wanna be someone they don't want me to be. The moral of this story is I got no choice...I must not chase the boys. I wanna go left but they tell me go right, don't wanna be the little girl they're kissin' goodnight. The moral of this story is I got no choice...I must not chase the boys.

a/n:*maniac laugh* Yeah I left you on a cliffhanger, keep asking yourself questions now. If you find yourself screaming for updates, read my other FFs. Read 'Game of Love' first! Please R/R!
