Chapter 18

Written By: Sister-Cousin

Ashley turned to Toby and stared at him.

"What do you mean it was you?"

"I did it, Ashley." He replies. She looked at him once again and shook her head.

"No you don't mean---Toby how could you?"

"I just did it. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry to...everyone. I didn't think anyone cared about me; I thought everyone hated me...I guess I just wanted people to notice me. I needed the attention."

"Nobody needs attention that badly."

Sean came to the front of the crowd.

"What the hell! You mean I cleaned off that graffiti for nothing? I got in deep trouble because of you!" He shouts.

"Yeah you embarrassed us!" Ellie shouts "And you got Marco kicked out of his house. You practically put his life in danger."

"How you get so low? All you needed to do was talk to us, but you handled this the wrong way." Marco replies.

"I know and I'm apologizing for it." Toby shouts.

Sean says, "So that's makes it all better, huh? Well you thought wrong! Come on guys lets get out of here."

"Wait don't leave. Don't let me ruin all your guys' fun. I'll leave, this is my fault after all." Toby said and headed for the door.

"Wait Toby!" Ashley shouted and chased him out the door.

"Oh my God I can't believe what he just said!" Hazel shouts.

"I know. Toby! That's just crazy!" Paige says.

"I'm gonna hurt him. He probably had something to do with JT coming on to you. He is gonna pay. I'll make sure of that!" Spinner shouts. He forms his hand into a fist.

"Spinner Toby had nothing to do with this one. JT kissed me, but I kissed him back so if you want to blame someone...blame me not Toby."

Spinner looked at her in disbelief. "What are you trying to say? You can't mean you like JT. That's just too funny---"

"It's the truth Spinner. I never meant to hurt you."

"Well it does it. You failed. I don't think I will ever be able to speak to you again. Good-bye, Paige!"

"Spinner, I'm sorry!" Paige said as tears started to fall down her face. "Hazel where did you go?"

"Jimmy wait up!" Hazel yelled following Jimmy into the crowd. He stopped.

"Hazel? Are you aware to whom you're speaking to?" He asked.

"Yeah of course."

"Oh good."

"Wow this party is really something else, huh?"

"What did you really come over here to say, Hazel?"

"I wanted to apologize."

"Really? I do too."

"So does that mean...we're back together." Hazel asked.

"Yeah I don't see why not. I really missed you and I want you to know that Ashley and me are just friends and nothing more."

"I know and I'm sorry I ever doubted you."

Hazel and Jimmy hug and then share a kiss.

"I'll let it slide." Jimmy says.

"Ashley go away! I don't feel like talking to anyone and I'm pretty sure nobody wants to talk to me." Toby shouts.

"I don't think they're very fond of you, but it will blow over eventually."

"I don't think I can wait that long, Ashley."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"I give up. I've screwed up and I accept that everyone hates me but I don't want to be around to see it happen. I'm not going back to Degrassi. I can't!"

"Yes you can!"

"No I can't, Ash. What part of that don't you understand?"

"Look just think about it some more before you do something drastic like leaving Degrassi."

"Fine. Whatever. I'm going to go."

"Where?"

"Home. Somewhere. I'm not too sure. Later." Toby says and walks away.

"Be careful, it's late!" Ashley says and decides to go back to the party at Emma's house. Surprisingly, when she got there the party was still going on.

Paige was looking all over Emma's house for JT. She really needed to talk to him. Finally she bumped into him literally.

"Hey watch where you're going!" JT shouts, "Oh it's you!"

"Hello JT."

"Bye now." JT says and turns around.

"Wait don't go. I like you a lot."

"You do?"

"Yeah I do and it took a lot of courage for me to come to talk to you."

"It did, but what about Spinner? He wants to kill me."

"Don't worry about him, JT. Besides we broke up just a few minutes ago and I knew I needed to find you immediately. So here I am."

"So Spinner knows about us kissing?"

"Yeah I told him and now he hates me, but the real question is do you hate me?"

JT didn't answer right away and just looked at the ground which made Paige really uncomfortable. She was beginning to get really worried. She has already lost her boyfriend Spinner and didn't feel like losing her crush in the same night.

"Okay well I tried." Paige says.

"Wait Paige I don't hate you. I really don't . In fact I really like you, but this all so hard for me to believe. I mean I've tried so many times to get your attention and now it's happened."

"It's the way I feel."

"So do you want to go see a movie tomorrow?"

"I thought you would never ask." Paige looked at the dance floor.

"Come it's lets go dance."

Ellie, Sean and Marco are chilling at Sean's place. Tracker was out for night once again.

"I can't believe Toby!" Sean shouts.

"Me neither. I would never think he would do something like this and all this for attention. How pathetic could he get?" Marco replies.

"Pretty pathetic."

"Yeah."

Ellie, Marco and Sean laugh together, which was the first time tonight.

"Oh my god you and Sean just agreed on something." Ellie acknowledged.

"Oh my god. This calls for a celebration. Pizza, ice cream and movies!"

"Now you're talking. I'll go order some pizza while you two guys mingle."

"Mingle?" Sean asks and Ellie shrugs her shoulders and walks away.

"What kind of pizza?" Ellie yells from the kitchen.

"Pepperoni."

"Yeah." Sean shouts.

"So..."

"So what are you going to do about your parents?"

"I'm not too sure. My dad got really upset and like always my mother followed him."

"But they can't be upset forever."

"Who's to know anymore?"

"It will be okay. You have Ellie and me as friends."

"We're friends?" Marco questioned.

"Yeah...we are."

Author's Note: The party has ended, a wild and crazy party and the secret is out. Toby is depressed, Hazel and Jimmy are back together, Spinner and Paige broke up and then JT and Paige hooked up. It's insane I tell you, but what about JT and Toby and their friendship? Is there even one? Hey and what about Marco and Dylan? You gotta keep review and reading to find out what happens next!
