CHAPTER TWELVE: MOVING ON IS HARD TO DO
Ellie searched longingly through the crowd. She and Emma had been secretly seeing each other ever since that wonderful night of dancing over Toby's unconscious body. It had been two weeks. Toby was in prison. At first it loked grim but then a surprise testimony from Ashley revealed that Toby was a serial attempted rapist and so he was gone forefver and no one was sad because Toby was such a looser anyway.
Emma had made up with Sean Cameron again so it wouldn't look suspicious (girls without boyfriends are always lesbians) and Ellie remained seeing Jimmy, even though he yelled at her and she was so embarrassed, but luckily no one else saw that gruesome scene in the hospital!!
Ashley and Craig were seriously making out on the couch in the corner. Ellie felt a twinge of affection for her best friend but it wasn't what you think, she just loved her like a friend.
Across the room was Emma getting into a heated argument with Manny Santos about clothes or something, possibly the environment (Emma is kind of a hippie which means she probably likes girls anyway) and Ellie wanted nothing more than to go over and snuggle with her lovebunny but she didn't want it to be too obvious because who knows how people would react to that?
Jimmy and Spinner came in the door holding hands. They walked over to Ellie. "Hey girl," Jimmy said, looking at Ellie lustfully. He had his parents buy a hotel and hoped tonight was the night he had been wanting ever since Ellie sashayed through the halls of Degrassi! He didn't want to rush her after what happened with Toby but that was two whole weeks ago! Ellie should be over it by now he thought logically.
"Hi" replied Ellie.
"Listen El," Jimmy said, pushing Spinner away so they could 'talk'. "I know you've had a rough time after that dog Toby but it's been like half a month, I think it's time to move on and prove to the Love Meister how much you appreciate him"
Ellie was surprised, she thought Jimmy knew she was playing. She wasn't sure what she was supposed to do, have sex with Jimmy so no one would know about Emma or yell at him and risk exposure? Ellie didn't want to have sex with Jimmy but she knew what she had to do.
"Okay" Ellie smiled. "Let's go."
