After school, Erin was heading home to plan out her after school activities and extra classes.

"Erin!" a voice called. She turned around to see that it was Paige. She was with Hazel and Ellie. "We're going to the Dot. Wanna come?"

After school activities can wait. Making friends was a lot more important right now, "Sure," said Erin.

"So how do you like it here in Degrassi?" Paige asked when they were at the Dot.

"I like it. It's not like Montreal at all. At least there's a lot of space here. There's too much shopping places in Montreal that there isn't enough room for a simple single family house.

"At least you can go to five different malls a day," Hazel said.

"It gets boring," said Erin.

"How can you outgrow shopping?" Paige was really surprised, "I think she's lying." They laugh except for Ellie.

"It's easy to outgrow shopping," she said, "When Ash took me shopping in Montreal I got so bored after six long hours."

"Come on Ellie. Shopping is heaven," Hazel said. Ellie rolls her eyes in a "yeah right" kind of way.

Hazel and Paige are sitting next to each other on one side of a booth next facing the door. Erin and Ellie sit on the other side. Hazel and Paige saw Jay, Alex, and Towerz walk in, but Erin and Ellie didn't notice.

"That guy Jay is like a total kleptomaniac. He stole from the school. He steals from everything. He got banned from here once," Paige said, "Apparently he's not anymore."

"My boyfriend, Sean used to hang out with him, until he called the cops when a party got out hand. Some girl got drunk. He called the party off and he stopped hanging with him," Ellie said.

Erin looks in his direction and went completely wide-eyed.

"What was that?" Paige asked.

"What was what?" asked Erin.

"Your eyes got really big."

"Oh my god. Do you think he's hot?" Hazel said.

Erin was getting uncomfortable with Jay in the same building as her, "No. Of course not. You know what? I have to go. Manny's mom goes crazy if anyone in her household is ever out too late. Especially on a school day." Paige, Hazel, and Ellie give each other confused looks. She takes a glance at Jay and walks out and he follows her out.

"Erin!!!

"What do you want Jay?" a tearful Erin turns around and looks into the eyes of a guy she once knew.
