Jay was outside honking and they came running out.

Jay- We are going to waste a whole Saturday in detention?

Ellie- Well if it wasn't for that tree-hugging son-of-a-bitch we wouldn't

Alex- someone is moody.

Ellie- I would love to go back to sleep I am so tired.

Jay- So how was the dance?

Ellie- why would you care? You don't do things like that remember, but it was good no real drama went on though for once.

Alex- No drama but this is degrassi! I am disappointed this school lives for drama.

Jay parked the car and then they walked into the library where Chris and Emma were already sitting.

Jay- Oh Emma your daddy couldn't get you out of this.

Chris- Back it up Man.

Jay- Come on lets sit as far away from the tree-hugger as possible.

Mr. Raditch- Ok, students because of cleaning that the janitors have to do in the school today the detention will only be for three hours.

There were sighs of relief.

Mr. Raditch- This Saturday detention will be spent differently then most, follow me.

They all get up rolling their eyes He leads them to the cafeteria.

Mr.Raditch- The custodians have a lot of cleaning to do for parent's night on Monday and I think we can make their job easier. I want you guys to clean the whole cafeteria, which would mean mopping, cleaning the trays and the tables. Making sure that everything is clean. That should take you a good three hours at least if you finish early you can move onto the gym.

Jay- you're kidding right?

Mrs. Raditch- Mr.Hogart I never kid. You can not leave this cafeteria until I check it over and you are aloud a half hour for lunch.

(He leaves)

Alex- I cant believe we have to do this.

Ellie- Well we wouldn't be here right now if someone would keep her mouth shut!

Emma- Oh please Ellie you think that if I didn't find out no one in the school would know, one of your crappy friends would have told sooner or later and you know it.

Alex- You have something to say about Ellie's friends? Say it to all of us we are Ellie's friends.

Emma backed down she had fought with Alex once but she just didn't want to do it again with all of her friends there.

Alex- Yeah that's what I thought now you keep your mouth shut or you will have to deal with all of us.

Emma and Chris began to clean and Ellie finally got up to wash the tables she figured she would do something and Sean followed.

Emma-(whispers to Chris) we all know Ellie can clean because she has to clean up after that pig every day.

Sean- Do you have something to say Emma?

Emma- No.

Sean- good because I have plenty I can say about you, so keep your mouth shut.

Alex- Jay lets help.

Jay- Help?

Alex- Look maybe if we clean then this will get down faster and then we can leave.

Sean- Actually we can't then we will be cleaning the Gym.

Alex- This has got to be cruel and un-usual. (She sat back down)

Ellie sits down. "I am too tired for this."

Sean- Me too.

Alex- the dance only ended at ten no need to be so tired.

Ellie- I know I just am.

Jay made a face indicating to Alex that he knew what went on the night before and they both laughed.

The cleaning was going okay Emma would make faces at them when they weren't looking because she could hear them talk about her and how it was all her fault that they were there.

Sean took his head phones on and sat back in his chair and started to fall asleep and then Ellie sat over by him and Alex and Jay followed. Emma and Chris were the only ones cleaning.

Chris- (throws down the broom) THAT'S IT!! Look I have been sitting here watching you bicker all day and I am tired of it we are not going to be the only ones cleaning and if you don't clean we wont and we will be here even longer okay. Emma shouldn't have said anything about your girlfriend but get over it by Monday everyone will be quite okay?

Jay- Its not okay because your girlfriend has been looking for revenge she got Sean 2 months of Saturday detention wasn't that enough why fuck up Ellie's life? Don't you think she has been through enough?

Emma- Wow looks like her friends can stick up for her but her own boyfriend cant.

Sean- What do you want me to say to you Emma? Really you think you were getting revenge on me? Ellie has been through enough so unless you want me to now go and tell Raditch who has been spreading the rumors about Ellie you better keep your mouth shut.

Emma- So you would rat?

Sean- Just like you!

Ellie- Okay this has to stop! I am sick and tired of you Emma so just you clean the whole right side of the cafeteria and we will do the left so you can just stay away from us!

It was silent the rest of the time they were cleaning Ellie was so mad she couldn't even speak.

They finished just in time for Raditch to come in and tell them they could go.

Sean- Do you want to walk home so we can talk?

Ellie- Yeah that's good.

Sean- Hey man we are going to walk home. Okay?

They were walking and it was silent at first.

Sean- are you okay?

Ellie- I am fine why?

Sean- Well you got so heated in there and really mad I was worried.

Ellie- Sean she told most people in the school and I didn't want anyone to know I made a mistake and I am trying to forget about it, everyday I try to erase that moment from my mind everyday but someone always has to remind me about it and it drives me crazy.

Sean- Ellie I am so sorry about all of this I cant believe she would open her mouth. It will all go away soon.

Ellie- Sean up until Monday kids were still talking about my cutting it will never go away.

Sean- Come on lets go home. But your okay about everything else right.

Ellie- Yeah (she smiled)
