Evette runs down the stairs in the morning.
"Hey mom, hey dad!"
"Good morning honey."
"Hey, what about me?"
"Morning Jas."
"Morning."
Jason and Evette are soon on their way to school. They have barely entered the school building when two boys walk up in front of them.
"Hello, you must be the new girl, Evette, my name is JT, and this is my man Toby."
"Um, hi JT, hi Toby."
"Would you allow us to escort you to your locker madam?"
"Err."
'Sure, my sister's always looking for new escorts!"
Evette's eyes widen as JT begins to drag her forward. He look tells Jason that she's going to kill him once she gets her hands on him.
Evette is slowly being dragged through the hallways of Degrassi. She doesn't think they realize that they don't know where her locker actually is.
Craig stops JT and Toby in their tracks while Evette who happens to be staring at the ground bumps into him.
"Oh, Craig! Sorry."
"It's okay, um, what are you doing?"
"Toby and I are escorting the pretty lady to her locker."
Craig raises his eyebrows and Evette gives him a hopeless look.
"Um, listen Pc and uh, Tony how bout I take over from here?"
Evette notes with amusement that Craig still hasn't learnt their names. JT and Toby look at each other and then at Craig they both silently decide that it is probably safer to go.
"Bye Evette."
"Bye JT, bye Toby. Thanks Craig I don't think they even know where my locker is!"
Craig laughs, his laughter is contagious as he walks her to her locker. Amazingly, they get there the same time as Jason does. Jason looks from Evette to Craig and then back again. His face breaks into a grin as he realizes that he has finally met the all-famous Craig that Evette told him about.
This is the boy that stole her heart and to this day still has it.
"Thanks Craig."
"Hey Craig! So I see you to over for the two squirts! That's cool."
"Err, yeah, hey Jason, me Sean, Spinner and stuff are going to the basketball courts after school, wanna come?"
"Yeah sure, can I bring Evette?"
"Yeah, if she won't be too bored."
"Nah, she got taught basketball by most of the players in my last basketball team, it time to see how much she learned."
"Yep, cool, I gotta go I'll see you guys in homeroom."
Evette raises her hand slightly in a wave and Jason just nods as Craig walks away.
"So sis, having one on one time with Romeo I see."
"Shut up, and what's with this about me playing basketball! If I do something to my finger, one more time I swear my finger joint is going to swell to the size of a balloon! "
"You're good sis, the entire team helped you remember?"
"Yeah."
Without another word Evette turns and leaves Jason quickly follows suit.
"Jason hun, Evette wait up!"
Both Jason and Evette turn around. There stands the one, the only Paige.
"Paige!"
"Hey Evette, actually I wanted to talk to Jason."
"What's up?"
"I was wondering, you know Terri."
"Yeah."
"Do you like her?"
"Yeah, sure I don't see what's not to like about her."
"Great! So would you go out with her?"
Evette pokes Jason in the back. Jason is careful not to squirm and continues to smile. He knows that the poke means that if he hurts any of Evette's friends she will hurt him.
"No offence to Terri or anything because she's a great girl but I've only known you guys for 2 days, so, maybe not."
"Okay, cool!"
Paige flips her hair and walks off. Jason turns around eyebrows raised as if silently saying; are you happy now.
"Let's just go Jas."
They sit down in homeroom to officially begin the day. The rest of the day passes, as it should slower then faster and slowing down to almost snail pace.
Evette and Jason wait just outside of Degrassi as Sean, Spinner, Jimmy and Craig walk out. They all walk toward the basketball courts. Evette steps back as Spinner stumbles past her after being pushed by Jimmy. Evette hangs back as she watches Jason show off with lay ups and 3-point shots.
They are about to begin to play and Evette is still hanging in the background.
"Whoa, whoa, Evette! What are you doing? Get over here!"
"Jas! I'm wearing a skirt and you want me to play basketball?"
'Your wearing bike pants underneath!"
Evette sighs and nods her head reluctantly. Trust Jason to know that all the cheerleaders on he squad wear bike pants under their skirts. Evette reaches behind her. Sean, Spinner, Jimmy and Craig's eyes widen. Evette unzips her skirt and lets it fall into a puddle at her ankles. She steps out of it and steps onto the court. She claps her hands together.
"Okay Jas, give us the ball."
Jason grins and throws Evette the ball. As she dribbles it past the guys for a lay up, she grins at them.
"Time to eat my dust boys."
As the ball bounces off the backboard and into the net Evette turns around and high fives Jason.
After half an hour of playing Evette pants on the sidelines as they all down bottles of water.
"Jas I'm outta here. Cya guys."
"Bye Evette."
Evette waves and is about to start running home when Craig comes back from the toilet. Neither is looking where they are going and Evette crashes into Craig. Craig catches her but falls to the ground. Sean watches on and realizes something.
"Wow, deja vu."
Spinner and Jimmy turn toward him.
"What?"
"I said déjà vu, you guys remember that girl Evonne?"
"Yeah."
"The one that disappeared right?"
"Yeah, before she disappears she and Craig crashed into each other and ended up just like that."
Evette is still on top of Craig and they lips finally touch lightly. Evette pulls back quickly and stands up with equal haste.
"Um, Cya Craig."
Evette runs as fast as humanly possibly as Craig remains standing in the exact same spot completely bewildered. Jason comes up behind him and slaps him on the back. He is closely followed by Sean, Spinner and Jimmy.
"Don't take the running away personally. I think it had something to do with the perfect first kiss thing."
"What?"
Craig, Sean, Spinner and Jimmy are suddenly very interested. Spinner, being as impatient as he is frowns at Jason when he simply smiles.
"Dude, what?"
" You know girls always have that fantasy."
"Yeah we got that but did you just say that was Evette's first kiss?"
"Yeah, she said she was saving it for someone special. Hard to believe from a cheerleader huh?"
"Oh."
Spinner and Jimmy nod.
"Hey Craig do you have a girlfriend?"
"Yeah, kind of."
"What? It's a yes or no question."
"Yes."
Um, Craig dude."
"What Spin?"
"Does that person look a lot like Ashley or what?"
"Idiot! It is Ashley."
Craig starts running after Ashley who has evidently seen everything.
"Ash! Ash wait up!"
"What?"
Craig stops as Ashley stares at him. Her hair is long and a beautiful auburn type of red. It frames her face and some of it blows over her face and covers her eyes. Her eyes are filled with hurt, disappointment and anger. At one point Craig and Ashley were the same height now Craig is slightly taller then her.
"Why are you running?"
"Why else? I'm trying to get away from my lying, cheating ex-boyfriend Craig Manning!"
"Ashley! She tripped it was an accident!"
"Are you telling me you feel nothing?"
"Yes."
"Even though everyone says she reminds them of Evonne. Remember Evonne? That girl you obsessed over."
"Yes."
Evette appears around the corner she has changed out of her mini skirt into jeans. She pulls her jacket closer as she walks toward them. She doesn't appear to have noticed them, but she has and she knows exactly what they are talking about.
"Hey Craig, hey Ashley."
Ashley narrows her eyes and Craig says nothing. Evette sighs inwardly.
"Bye then."
Evette walks away as they continue to argue or rather Ashley continues to argue and Craig denies everything. Before she knows it, she walks by a very familiar house. At that moment, Angie runs out of the house and Evette realizes that it is still very early in the afternoon. Angie is shortly followed by Joey he is smiling and so is Angie. Angie isn't looking where she is going and crashes into Evette's legs. Joey comes up behind Angie still smiling. His smile falters slightly as he peers at her and she knows exactly what he is about to say.
"Don't I."
"Know me?" I don't think so, my name's Evette Scott."
She holds her hand out and Joey shakes it.
"And who is this little girl?"
"This is my daughter Angela, we called her Angie."
"Hey Angie."
"Hi! Do you know my brother?"
"Who's your brother?"
"Craig Manning."
"Yes, I do know him."
"She's in the habit of calling everyone by their full name. By the way my name is Joey Jeremiah."
"That's okay Mr. Jeremiah, I think it's kinda cute."
"Call me Joey."
Evette smiles at him, but her smile fades as she sees Craig. His face is clouded and anyone can see he is in a bad mood. He stomps past Evette while not realizing it knocking her down. Evette lets out a squeak as she falls to the ground. Craig turns around he seems to hesitate as to whether he should walk back or not. Eventually he does as he sees she is holding on to her wrist in pain.
"Evette are you okay."
"Yeah, fine, I'll just get Jas to look at it."
Still holding her wrist, Evette stands up.
"Bye Joey, bye Angie, bye Craig."
Evette begins to walk away. Craig glances at Joey and sighs before running after her.
"Evette wait! I'll walk you home."
"But, what about Ashley?"
"It's okay."
They walk in silence for a while.
"Listen Craig, I'm sorry about today."
"Don't worry about it."
"But you and Ashley had a disagreement."
"It wasn't your fault, Ashley was just being jealous."
Evette smiles slightly as they turn up the Scott's driveway. Evette presses the doorbell and Jason answers the door, he leans against the doorframe.
"Hey guys."
He grins until his gaze falls on Evette tenderly holding her wrist.
"Hey, Eve what's wrong?"
" I fell down and I think I twisted my wrist."
"Oh, okay come on go to the living room."
"Come on in Craig."
Evette and Craig sit down and wait. Craig fidgets nervously as Jason comes bounding down the stairs.
"Hold out your wrist."
Evette yelps in pain as Jason touches her wrist. She turns and buries her face in Craig's shoulder.
"Ow, ow ow."
Evette whimpers as Jason tests her wrist. As he bandages it, she is still whimpering.
"Evette had never had a very high pain threshold."
"Neither have you, it must run in the family.
Evette shoots back at Jason and Jason makes a face at her even though he is far too old to be acting like that.
"Err, listen I should go now. Cya guys tomorrow."
"Bye Craig."
"Bye Evette. Cya Jason."
"Yeah, cya"
Jason sits back down on the sofa next to Evette.
"So tell me little sister, how in the world did you get the handsome prince charming Craig Manning to escort you home?"
"Oh, shut up, he and Ashley were going out and they had a fight cause of me."
"It's okay Eve, they'll get over it."
Evette nods and walks out Jason leans back and sighs.
The next day Evette and Jason walk to school, Evette's wrist is bandaged in a white bandage, she is about to whack Jason on the arm when she realizes and drops her hand. Paige strides towards them looking like an over excited child.
"Evette! It's all over school!"
Evette runs down the stairs in the morning.
"Hey mom, hey dad!"
"Good morning honey."
"Hey, what about me?"
"Morning Jas."
"Morning."
Jason and Evette are soon on their way to school. They have barely entered the school building when two boys walk up in front of them.
