"Hey Ashley."
Ashley turns around Evette is standing behind her they are standing at the bottom of the steps of Degrassi Community School.
"Evette..."
"Yeah, it's me I bet you'd never have guessed that I would have recovered so quickly right? I haven't spoken in ages!"
"Um...yeah."
"I just wanted to tell you that you can have Craig back. I don't want him he's kind of boring and sentimental anyway. He's just not my style plus I have someone who's about 100 times better at basketball then him."
"Evette...what are you saying?"
"Err...that you can have your boyfriend back."
"You're just throwing him away like trash."
"That's kind of a mean way to put it...how about...want not, waste not? I'm giving him back."
"I can't believe you could say that."
"Well this is me, I'm sorry if you didn't realize it before."
"Hey babe."
Eric walks up to them completely oblivious of what they have been talking about. Evette then does something that previously she wouldn't have even thought about doing. She turns around to face Eric and she pulls him closer to her and kisses him. As she pulls away she can feel everyone's eyes placed squarely on her.
"Whoa, that was...surprising."
Evette smiles slightly and turns back to Ashley whose mouth is hanging open but snaps shut as she turns.
"As I was saying, you can have your little boyfriend back. He was boring me."
"Is that what you think of me?"
Evette turns around there stand Craig. She can see the hurt in his eyes. She doesn't know how deep she has pushed that dagger in her hand into his chest.
"Oh, hey Craig."
Evette replies cheerfully.
"You didn't answer my question."
"Yeah Craig that's what I think of you. You're way too boring, lighten up a bit yeah?"
"I can't..."
Craig starts. Eric walks over to him, Eric is slightly taller then him.
"Do you have a problem with what my girl just said? She told you to lighten up."
"No, no problem. I just didn't think your girl could be such a bitch"
Craig knows that in the split second that he finished his sentence he should have kept his mouth shut. Eric's fist collides with his left eye. Craig falls to the ground as Ashley rushes forward to help him. All the students begin to gather around them one would almost expect them to begin chanting.
Craig stares up at Eric as he shoots daggers into him. Eric turns around in search of Evette but she is not looking his way. She walks straight through the crowd and up the stairs.
Eric resists the urge to run to her like a puppy dog but he knows that she is clearly aware that she has him wrapped around her little finger. Eric crosses the street and walks away from Degrassi after all he and his friends were leaving in a week and they had hardly seen anything.
Ashley helps Craig up and the body of students around them begins to disperse and they are amazed no teacher noticed with all the noise.
"Craig, I..."
Ashley begins Craig simply shakes his head he doesn't know what to think Evette's change has been too sudden, perhaps they had really misjudged her, perhaps she was really just another stereotypical cheerleader from a bigger city.
"Ash?"
"Yeah?"
"I think you were right."
"About what?"
"About us, being over."
"Oh..."
"If we're over it means we can start again a new beginning."
"You have no idea how long I've wanted you to say that."
Craig forces a smile and Ashley smiles back at him. He takes her by the hand and they walk up the stairs of Degrassi together. Underneath the new beginning is a truth that all three teenagers are vainly attempting to cover up. The undeniable truth that love cannot be controlled and that simply by saying that you do not love someone does not make it the truth.
