Degrassi: Spoiled Brat Chronicles
A/N: I'm writing this early so if Wednesday gets too hectic I don't leave ya hanging. Hey On the Bright side of me not being around for at least a month: Lots of time to brainstorm. Also I'm gonna try to set some things up for the next part. As I said in a previous chapter: I don't go to Canadian schools, I don't know how their system works please don't flame me.
P.S. If you get bored while I'm away read Pet Shop. It's Marco/Dylan fluff.

Jeike had been on edge today. First in Media Immersion class when Marco saw him, he was all fidgety. And for some reason he was having some trouble today... well more trouble than usual.
"Mr. Simpson, I'm not getting any of this." He had heard Jeike tell him.
"Jeike... In... LA? right." Mr. Simpson had asked.
"Yeah, LA."
"Did they have a Media Immersion class?" Mr. Simpson asked trying to find out why he was having so much trouble.
"No. Unless they never put it on my schedule." Jeike joked. Mr. Simpson nodded and thought for a second.
"Come talk to me after class, for now... do what you can." Jeike had nodded and sat back down.
The bell had rang and they all had left except for Jeike. Next time he saw Jeike had been in the hall. Some kid accidentally bumped into him and Jeike flipped out on the poor boy.
By lunch though he had cooled down.
"Hey Jeike." Today for a change of scenery Marco , Dylan, and (grudgingly)Ellie sat with Paige outside at one of the picnic tables. Jeike casually walked over and sat next to Paige.
"Hey. What's up."
"Nothing much. Though have you seen Pete? He got a Mohawk! Can you say fashion crime?" Paige started talking.
"Oh and the chains? Punk is so out... wait never mind It was never in." Paige chuckled at Jeike's comment.
"Dude, are you, like, actually into that stuff?" Spinner who happened to be in a couple of his classes asked. "What are you like gay or something?" Spinner got a round of glares from the people sitting at the table.
"Well actually as a matter of fact I am." He said daring him to protest. Spinner didn't know what it was, but something about this kid frightened him.
"Well yeah, you know that's like totally ok with me dude." Spinner said quickly. "As long as you, like, don't hit on me." Jeike saw his opportunity. He turned to Paige quickly and winked before answering.
"Ok honey-bunches." He gave a flirtatious wink at Spinner who gagged on the sandwich he was eating. Everyone broke into laughter.
"Dude, I have a girlfriend." He said quickly putting his arm around Paige and pulling her close to himself as a protective shield.
"So Jeike, what happened after Media Immersion?" Marco asked.
"Well thanks to faulty US teaching methods, I'm not up to speed so their putting me down a grade."
"You have to take freshman Media Immersion?" The kid whom he recognized as Jimmy, from the hall the day he signed up for the dance contest, asked.
"Yep. Don't it suck?" He said plainly. "So Marco we're still on for today right?" Jeike said as he picked up his stuff to leave. Lunch rule number one: Always arrive fashionably late, and leave fashionably early.
"Yeah, see you later." He waved to Jeike. He looked up at a confused Spinner.
"But... I thought... you.. and..." He pointed to Dylan.
"We are." Dylan finished for Spinner. Spinner gave an odd look.
"We're partners for the dance off" Marco explained. "What can't two gay guys be just friends?" He asked pointedly.
"Wait! You two! On the same team!" Spinner looked a bit panicked. "Jimmy do you think they'll let us withdraw?"

Jeike sighed. Great. Two Media Immersion classes in one day. Double the pleasure. Double the fun. Or lack of, rather. He walked into the freshman Media Immersion class. He looked for a seat and saw an empty one by a blond girl working diligently on the computer. As he walked be her he noticed she was researching the dangerous effects of chemical fertilizers. Every now and then she scribbled something down. He sat down beside her.
"School project?" He asked.
"No." She said simply. She continued to work until it registered in her mind that this was a new voice. She looked back quickly. "Hi. Are you in the right class? I haven't seen you around." She asked.
"Freshman Media Immersion right?" The girl nodded. "Then I'm in the right place."
"Are you new? I haven't seen you in any other classes." She asked.
"Yes. I'm new. But even if I wasn't you 'prolly wouldn't see me around." He said.
"Why not?"
"I'm a sophomore. -And before you can ask why I'm here: Faulty US educational system."
"Oh my god!" She said silently. "You're that new rich kid that moved here aren't you?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact I am." He said puffing up a little.
"...Oh I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself I'm Emma." She said extending her hand.
"Jeike." He shook it.
"Jeike, I just thought up, that doing an interview with you about chemical fertilizers will really catch people's interest. After all, everyone thinks money is power right?" She said hoping that he shared her views. Jeike was just enjoying himself. He loved being rich.
"Okay. Shoot."
"Where do you stand on this issue?" she asked.
"I am completely opposed." He said. And while he was even if he wasn't he'd have lied. He just loved publicity.
"Why?" Emma asked really into the interview.
"With all those chemicals put into the fertilizers, I imagine eating all that junk, and aside from it being gross, It isn't healthy either." Emma nodded.
"And Jeike-" Emma was interrupted by someone clearing their throat.
"You two, are you quite done?" Mr. Simpson said. They both nodded.
'Tomorrow' Emma mouthed and Jeike nodded. Unbeknownst to them a pair of Jealous eyes was watching them.

"Marco I was wondering. Can you do a back flip?" Jeike asked sitting on the floor of Marco's garage.
"Yeah, why?" He answered. Jeike was a bit excited.
"How many flips and can you end on a twist?"
"Three and yes."
"How can you do them?" Jeike asked more and more excited by the second.
"With a running start."
"Can you do it with a boost?" Jeike asked.
"I don't know. I've never tried it." Marco explained, a bit lost as to where Jeike was going with this. Jeike looked around the garage. He took a crate, a chair, and a stool and placed them in a stair like pattern.
"Try it." He said.
Marco ran climbing the crate, chair, and pushed himself off the stool into a back flip. He landed on his hands pushed off, landed on his feet his inertia still going bounced up and landed on his hands again, but his inertia had ran out and he was stuck in a hand stand. Marco righted himself in a few seconds.
"I want you to try to do this." Jeike said. He ran, climbed, shoved, flipped twice and the third time went into a corkscrew. (1) He gracefully landed on his feet. Marco looked at him a bit intimidated.
"Go try it!" Jeike urged.
15 minutes later he got it.
"So will you explain why were doing this?" Marco asked confused.
"It's our finale." He explained. "After the battle we run to opposite sides of the stage and back flip twice the third time into the spin and having landed on the other side of each other we land on a pose." Jeike explained.
"That sounds wicked cool." Marco admitted.
"Let's try it." Jeike said setting up a similar three step stair on the other side of the garage..
"On three. One, two, three." They ran, climbed, pushed, flipped once, flipped twice... and... crashed into each other. Jeike shook his head. He looked around. It couldn't have worked out better. He was sitting on top of Marco straddling his hips. This was it. He had to go for the kill.
He looked down at Marco. Marco looked up a second or two later, his gaze locked onto Jeike's. Slowly Jeike leaned down. Marco looked up at him his eyes showing mixed emotions. Tenderly he put his lips on Marco's.
Moments later Jeike parted their lips. Something didn't feel right. He looked at Marco who looked just as, if not more, confused as before.
Jeike quickly got up.
"I'm sorry." He said grabbing his stuff and leaving. Marco lay on the floor, propped up by his shoulders in a daze.

He didn't know exactly when it had happened, or how, but he had fallen in love with Marco. And deep down he knew he couldn't do that to him. Ruin him for his own sick twisted pleasure. This was what Julie had tried to tell him. Suddenly he crashed into someone and toppled to the floor. He quickly got up and looked at the person he had run into. Dylan.
"You." He said, his voice contemptuous.
"Dylan..." He said, tears flowing freely, not entirely sure what to say.
"What's wrong?" He said forcefully throwing the basketball he was carrying into Jeike's arms. Jeike caught it. And he didn't miss the slight amount of worry in his voice.
"You win." He said imitating Dylan's actions, throwing the ball back at him.
"What do you mean?" The ball went back, carrying along Dylan's suspicions.
"You can have Marco. I give up." He said hurling the ball at Dylan.
"What happened?" Once again the ball flew back.
"I realized I couldn't do that to him." And forth. Jeike was slowly breaking down infront of him.
"Do what?" The ball was a blur.
"Ruin his life." A very orange blur.
"Elaborate, please, for those of us who aren't psychic." And again the ball flew.
"You win. Marco's yours. I'm not going to go after him anymore." He flung the ball with malice ridding himself of all his negative emotions. Slowly feeling better.
"So you're telling me you're over Marco?" Dylan said, the ball was kind of like in perpetual motion.
"No." Jeike grinned. "I'm telling you that I'm not gonna break you two up just so I can swoop down and catch Marco. I'm just gonna wait till it happens on it's own. Then I'll swoop down and catch Marco." He threw the ball back. Dylan smiled. He looked at the ball. Then in a friendly gesture... kind of., threw the ball back at Jeike. Jeike looked at it and dribbled it once or twice.
"And one more thing." He said walking to Dylan's other side.
"What?" Dylan said a bit confused Jeike hadn't thrown the ball back.
"Thanks for the new ball." He said breaking into a run.
"Hey!" Dylan yelled. "You're supposed to throw that back to me one last time!" He broke into a run after Jeike.

OK, so the Love Triangle part is over with. Whoa this chapter was long. Next Comes: The Coming Out. Jeike comes out to (accidentally) to someone he shouldn't have. So what does he do when they make his life miserable? Make their lives miserable right back... Oops, I think I said too much...
P.S. (1) - that's not what it's actually called... I think... just saying...
