Degrassi: Spoiled Brat Chronicles

A/N: Apparently Addamo Ruggiero (Marco) is straight. (Wich I highly doubt. Apparently one of his favorite shows is little house on the prairie.) But that makes me sad. 'Cause he's kind of like hot! (albeit a bit short) And that makes me cry. But I will survive. freezes looks around Phew. For a second there I expected a musical montage...shudders Oh sorry if this chapter sucks I'm having a case of writer's block plus I'm a bit sick not to mention tired. Xx

"So Jeike. Do your parents know?" Marco asked. They had given up the outfit hunt for today and were now searching Jeike's humongous stack of cd's.

"Yeah." Jeike answered simply answered.

"So how'd you tell them?" Marco asked.

"Well... I didn't tell them per se... It was more like... I got caught in the act." Jeike looked over at Marco who had flushed. Jeike went over the statement in his mind a couple of times. "Oh! No! Not like that! I got caught making out with a boyfriend. Trust me, the best way to break it to them is telling them. Not getting caught giving some other guy "CPR"." He said joking. Marco laughed. Suddenly he realized something. This whole time the two of tem had talked about Jeike's parents. As in plural. But he had only seen his mom.

"Jeike. Um... where's your dad?" Marco asked a bit awkwardly.

"In LA." He stiffened a bit.

"In LA? Why? Why isn't he here?" Marco asked a bit intrigued.

"I don't wanna talk about it." he said his voice cold.

Flashback

"I can't believe you're a faggot." His dad yelled.

"Well I can't believe you're a prick, but hey that's just how things are!" He yelled right back.

"Get out of this house. I never want to see you again!" His dad threatened.

"Finally! About time you kicked me out of this damned hell hole. God what took you so long?" He said as he ran up the stairs and into his room. Packing some clothes, he grabbed his money and cell phone and ran out of the house.

End Flashback

"So what do you think of this cd?" He said popping a cd in the player. His eyes welled up with tears.

"Hi Ellie." Marco said as he walked with her to school.

"Hey Marco." She replied.

"Ellie I have a question... Do you... think... I'm... Flamer-esque?" Elli look at him stunned.

"I wouldn't say flamer... But maybe a little... flamboyant?" She said with a sheepish look on her face. Marco gave her the look. The one that said tell me the straight up truth, or else. "Fine, you're kind of a lot flamboyant." She said a bit exasperated. Marco deflated like a balloon in front of her. Ellie gave him a hug. "It's OK. Could be worse. You could be more than flamboyant...at least... you're not a drag queen." Marco scoffed indecipherably.

"Oh Elli you're just ever so helpful." He deadpanned.

"It's what I'm here for... Now why do you ask me that?" She said as they walked to school.

It was Lunch time. Jeike walked into the cafeteria and had the choice of sitting with Paige and her friends, or with Marco and Dylan... and later on Ellie would be joining them. He took the obvious choice and sat with Marco.

"So why don't you guys sit with Paige?" He stroke up a conversation. Both of them looked up. Dylan was glaring.

"She's...a bit much. Too overwhelming." Marco said. as Jeike sat down. There was an awkward silence. Marco could sense the tension between Dylan and Jeike. He stood up.

"Um... I gotta go to the washroom..." He said as he left. The two sat there in hostile silence until Jeike broke it.

"I like you." Jeike said simply. Dylan gave a suspicious look. "As a friend." He elaborated.

"Really." Dylan said with a touch of sarcasm.

"Yeah. You know if you weren't Marco's boyfriend, we might actually get along. And trust me. Having me on your side is a good thing."

"So what? Are you telling me to drop Marco?" Dylan scoffed.

"Yes." He said simply. Dylan laughed.

"You do realize I'm in grade twelve and you're in grade ten? I could kick your ass if I wanted to." Dylan threatened.

"You do realize that I'm rich and have so many connections I could get your ass kicked ten times over?" He shot back.

"Has anyone told you you're a spoiled brat?"

"Yeah, many times. And that's just who I am." Jeike smirked.

They sat in silence for a couple of seconds. Suddenly Jeike got up. He turned around bumping into Marco who was coming back with Ellie.

"Sorry." He said over reacting and looking flustered. Dylan smirked. Minus one for Jeike. Ellie rolled her eyes.

"That's okay. Hey where are you going?" Marco asked.

"I have to ask Paige something." He lied. "See you after school?" He said as he left.

"Yeah. See ya later."

"I though I told you that Marco was Dylan's" Paige said Casually on their way to class.

"Yeah? Why?" Jeike asked pretending to be confused.

"Because every time I see you, you're hitting on Marco." She didn't care about discretion.

"What?!?" Jeike did a perfect impression of surprise and bewilderment. "No! I would never do that! You told me: Marco is with Dylan, lay-off. I would never, ever, try to steal anyone away from anyone."

"Well according to Dylan you're trying to steal him." She said as-a-matter-of-factly.

"There must have been some misunderstanding." He explained.

"So how does one misunderstand: I want your boy friend, I'm getting your boyfriend?" She challenged.

"I can't believe that you would believe that about me!" He said indignantly. "But then again he is your brother." He said.

"What are you trying to say?"

"Nothing. It's just that blood is thicker than water. Right? I mean you've known him for all your life and me for what? Three days? Of course you would believe him." He said with his best hurt expression.

"I can't believe-! Never mind. I believe you." She said with a sigh. as they sat down... For some reason she felt duped. Jeike smirked.

Ok. It's the next morning and I went through it again. I like this soooo much better. I'm still sick and a bit delusional but I think that helped. Plus I'm not tired anymore... I think I leave you with a teaser for the next chappie (well not necessarily the next but an oncoming chappie). What we've all been waiting for: Dylan and Jeike fight... Well It'll prolly be more like...
