Jay Hogart walked swiftly down the halls of Degrassi. It was the last day of school before Christmas break and everybody was so chipper and happy. He made his way to his locker and quickly opened and grabbed his book bag. He turned around and seen Alex and Paige giggling about something. He rolled his eyes and walked the opposite way. Alex dumped him the day after she found out about what was going down in the ravine. First she decided to run for school president, fine he supported her, then she became all buddy buddy with Paige and he still didn't mind but ever since that psycho Rick decide to make Degrassi the crime scene of the year she has been acting all weird so he hooked with a few other girls they could have worked through it. But whatever he wasn't going to sit here and sulk about some girl.

He finally reached the MI lab; he walked in and found his seat. He hated school but Hatzilakos was already keeping a close eye on him. Jay knew everybody thought that he was the mastermind behind the prank- and he was. Spinner and Alex had already confessed and both got a month's suspension and 6 months of community service. Why should he have to scrap gum off the bottom of desks because Rick was crazy? He watched the doorway as Emma Nelson walked in, he looked around and noticed that there weren't any seats besides the one right next to him. As she looked around the room for a seat, Jay took the gum out of his mouth and put it on the chair. She came over annoyed that she had to sit there. Jay smiled at her. Throughout the whole class he kept staring at her, she had no idea what was going on. The bell rang and everybody got up and left, Jay kept a close eye on Emma as she walked out of the room so confident, he couldn't help but follow her. She walked through the hall as kids behind her pointed and laughed at the huge spot of gum on her butt. Jay was almost knocked over as Manny walked passed him. She finally reached Emma and whispered something into her ear. As Manny leaned back Emma's confident expression turned into sheer embarrassment as she ran into the girl's washroom Jay smiled in satisfaction.

By the end of the day Jay was exhausted being the school bully was a tough job but someone had to do it right. He got into his civic and looked back to see if anyone was behind him before backing out. And of course there was Emma; she had a sweatshirt tied around her waist.

"Hey cause girl want to move" she rolled her eyes and moved onto the sidewalk. He pulled out of the spot and shouted "Nice Jeans" before pulling away.

Jay woke up the next morning and rolled out of bed. His room was pretty bare it just had a bed, a small dresser in the corner and a desk with some CD's and a stereo on it. He looked out the window at the newly fallen snow. He jumped at the knock at his door, he opened it a little to see who was standing there. It was his sister Darcy she was wearing a short skirt and a tight sweater.

"Can you drive me to the Dot?" she asked sweetly

"Um yea but first go in your room and change, its twenty degrees outside there is no reason you should be half naked." She rolled her eyes but went and did what he said. He loved easy chicks but he wasn't going to let his sister become the next Amy.

Twenty minutes later Jay honked the car horn and Darcy ran out.

"Come on" he yelled at her. She jogged to the car and got in.

"So why do you need to go to the Dot for?"

"I am meeting someone."

"Who"

"Don't worry it's not a guy…her name is Emma, she is tutoring me."

"On Christmas eve"

"Yeah…it was her idea and I don't have anywhere to go so I'm studying.

"Ok have fun." He said sarcastically as they pulled up in front of the dot, Darcy rolled her eyes and got out. He couldn't believe that Emma didn't have some perfect family Christmas Eve dinner to go to.

BAM something hit the back of Jays car. He got out ready to fight but seen Towerz standing in the middle of the street cracking up. Jay picked up some snow and threw it at him.

"Aww Jay did I hurt your car?" he teased him

"Not as much as I'm going to hurt you."

"Oh I am shaking. But seriously what are you doing tonight."

"Nothing probably just chill at home with Darcy"

"No way it's Christmas Eve and my mom wants you and Darcy to come over."

"Thanks Tow but I don't think so you know how much I hate Christmas."

"Fine, fine but I just want you to know you're breaking my moms heart."

"Just tell her we already had plans." Jay asked and Towerz agreed. Jay appreciated the offer he really did but he wasn't about to become someone's charity case.

Jay walked into his house later that night; he opened the refrigerator and made a sandwich. He was alone Darcy went to Emma's house and god only knows were his parents were. The house was cold and jay heard a strange noise, he cautiously looked around the room but there was nothing there. He went back to making his sandwich and heard the noise again. He began to look around the house but still there was nothing. He got his food and went in his room and ate quietly. Suddenly the door flew open and jay jumped back.

"Darcy is that you. Darcy" he yelled but no one answered. Then a figure walked trough the door at first he didn't recognize who it was but than he realized it was.

"Rick…aren't you aren't you dead."

"I am…I came here to warn you."

"Warn me I must be dreaming this is crazy"

"You're not dreaming…I came to help you"

"Why would you come to help me I made your like a living hell."

"I came to help you because you needed my help the most. You need to change or you will…"

"I will what."

"You'll see all in good time…tonight you will be visited by 3 ghosts. Each will show you about yourself Past, Present and Future. The first will come at the stroke of 1:00 and the others will soon follow." Jay was token back he closed his eyes to think and when he reopened them Rick was gone no sign left of him being there. Jay knew that this had to be some sick dream.
