After the whole confession, Paige and I talked, for a while not about anything of subtance Then when the bell rang we went to class. Later that day when I went to my locker i found a note, prefectly folded, with my name on it. So I hurried up and went to my next class so i would have time to read it. "After school. My house, 867 DeGrassi Street".
3:00PM I get out of school. I check the note to be sure I was actually reading that Paige wanted me to come to her house, and that it was not just a mirage. When I get there I am a little shaky, afraid to go in. I finally get enough courage to knock on the door, Paige answers and tells me to come in. We go up into her room, which is perfect. Perfectly decorated, perfectly cleaned and it was so much bigger than my tiny bedroom.
We sit down on her bed and we being to talk. "Listen Ellie. I am sorry. I know Hazel and I have said every mean thing possible about you and to you. It must really hurt you. In reality, You are much cooler than I am. You are yourself no matter what. I am basically just a mirage. Everything about me is fake. I would be myself, but I am afraid of the rejection. I am afraid of loosing my friends and no longer being the most popular girl at Degrassi Community School, but I guess if I have you then thats all that matters right?" Wow. Did Paige really say all that? I must be hallucinating.
"I am like you in a lot of way you know...the cutting..." she trailed off, looking like she was about to break down at that moment. I watched as Paige slowly rolled up the sleeves to her blouse. Scars and cuts twisted up her perect pale skin. I held her arm and lightly stroked it just as she did to me the year before. I then lean in and kiss her, to my suprise she returned the kiss. It was the best moment of my not so great life. That night I went home and slept the best nights sleep in my entire life.
