Sean gathered his newly formed class schedule and his books and sprang up from his chair. He wasn't in as much of a hurry as Emma was to get out of class - but he did assume that Emma's quick get a way was due to his presence in class.

Mr. Simpson put his hand out in front of him for a handshake, "Good to see you back Sean... class just wasn't the same without you." Sean shook his hand.

"Good to be back." Sean shrugged smiling, "I guess?" He walked out of class.

Leaving the room he saw Ellie walking by and caught up with her, "Are we ok?"

Ellie stopped walking when she reached her locker, "Sean. We're fine." she said without looking at Sean. She paid full attention to her locker combination, which she obviously couldn't open. She turned to Sean in frustration, "Honestly. We are.... like you said... no regrets, right?" She seemed calmed.

Sean nodded his head, "Yeah, no regrets." He paused. He could see how much Ellie was in pain, "If you ever need anyone..." He was cut off.

"Yeah. You.. friends." Ellie nodded, "I'm sorry. I have to go." Ellie gave Sean one last look like she didn't want to walk away, but she knew she had to. She walked off leaving Sean leaning on the locker alone.

When Sean came back to Degrassi, he went to visit Ellie first. She was the first one to know he was back. Next was the school. He went to Ellie first because he didn't want to put her though more pain than she needed to be in. Breaking up with her first his first priority as he came back to Degrassi. Rather than leading her on he knew that breaking up first was what he had to do. Yeah, he loved Ellie, but he wasn't IN love with her the way she wanted him to be.

As Emma reached the corner of the hallway she almost bumped into Jay. Jay looked directly at her since he was right in front of her. They were almost touching. Emma tried to turn her head away as she kept the strap of her messenger back pack from falling off her shoulder.

"Don't get her angry Jay... she might make a petition." Alex laughed as she sprang around from behind Jay. Jay took one small step back from Emma as Alex held on to his arm.

Alex smiled, "So Emma... good news, huh? You must be ecstatic."

"What?" Emma looked at Alex. Jay had no idea what they were talking about.

Alex just laughed, "Yeah, I have to go... I'll see you in a bit ok?" Alex kissed Jay and she walked away.

Emma started walking past Jay but he turned and walked with her, "What was that about? Good news? What are you guys like buddy buddy now? Cause I thought you said for us to be... you know... you can't be friends with Alex."

Emma stopped and quickly looked around to see if anyone, anyone at all, heard what he just said, "Shut up Jay."

"Calm down... i didn't even say anything." His face cringed, "Why are you so" -- he couldn't finish his sentence as Emma interrupted him.

"He's coming." Emma's face grew worried.

Jay turned around to see what was going on and finally realized what Emma was so jumpy about, "Cameron! Back from the grave...."

Sean laughed and did a head nod, "Sup."

Jay smiled at Emma. Emma tried to smile at Sean, and she did, but it was a shy/scared type of smile. Emma gave both Jay and Sean worried looks and then turned and walked away. Luckily for her, the doorway to get outside was right behind her. She left.

"What was that about?" Sean watched Emma walk off, "Still messing with Emma, huh? I see some things never change." He laughed.

Jay just laughed along with Sean. He loved the fact that Sean had no idea exactly how things have changed, and how he was messing with Emma, "She's a tough one." Jay laughed, "So Wasega... back for good?"

"Most definitely."

Jay and Sean walked off catching up on things.

It was nearly the end of the day and Sean was getting out of shop class. He walked over to his locker and realized he didn't even need anything from it. Turning he saw JT and he decided to walk over to him.

"Hey."

JT looked around confused, "Hey." He said awkwardly.

"So... how's... things?" Sean tried his best to make conversation.

"I'm sorry... do you have me confused with someone?" JT stood confused.

"No." Sean looked at him, "Just thought I'd be a friend and say hi."

"Be a friend and say hi... yeah, definitely you... Sean Cameron, official friend of JT's." JT continued to rummage through his locker, "Welcome back by the way.... on behalf of everyone who was sad to see you go." You couldn't tell if there was sarcasm in that, but Sean didn't really care.

"Oh...." JT empasised, "I get it.... You want info on Emma."

"No...." Sean tried to hide.

"It's ok, really." JT shut his locker and put on his backpack, "Emma."

Silence grew between them. Sean stood waiting for JT to continue with his sentence, but he didn't.

"How is she? Is she mad at me?" Sean blurted.

"I wouldn't know.... I barely talk to her these days, she's been kind of out of it. Me, Manny, Toby, Liberty... none of us have really hung out with her. Since you left, actually. Maybe she is mad at you... but I wouldn't know."

Sean lifted his eyebrow's, "Great."

JT anayzed Sean, deciding whether he should even bring this up to him, "Don't be one to believe it.... but there are some rumors." JT began, "They don't sound right, but I mean, a rumor's a rumor."

"Rumor?"

"About Emma... I've heard she's been seen around the Ravine." JT made a face.

"She's always at the ravine." Sean said.

"At night." JT didn't want to mention that.

"At night...." Sean stated. He looked at JT again and chuckled, "At night?"

JT nodded his head, "Rumors. Stupid rumors"

"Do you believe it?" Sean asked.

JT didn't know how to answer. He squinted his eyes as he though about this, "Um. I don't know. It's probably just a phase. You saw how she was in class?" They both looked at each other and then JT walked off.

A/N: Thanks for all the reviews!
