"You what!" Ashley stared at Ellie in disbelief.
They were sitting on the steps outside the school. They had about 20 minutes until the bell rang, but they didn't want to run into another teacher telling them to get to class.
"I broke up with Trevor." Ellie repeated.
Ashley's eyes were wide. She couldn't believe it. Trevor must be heartbroken right now.
"Ellie, he really liked you."
Ellie heaved a sigh. "I don't really think he did. His drug habit was kind of annoying. I bet he was just using me."
"Ell, he was crazy about you. It was kind of sickening actually. Remember when we were at Mark's apartment last week? I walked with him down to the bookstore, and he didn't have enough money to buy anything, because he spent it all on you."
Ellie started to cackle.
"What's so funny?" Ashley was confused.
"He didn't have enough money to sustain his drug habit, because he spent it on me. Wow, I was really dating a loser. Ash, I'm probably better off without him." Ellie started to stand up.
"If you say so Ellie." Ashley took a deep breathe. They walked up the steps and into Degrassi.
"Besides, now we're both completely single. We can find some other guys." Ellie look excited.
"What do you mean? I'm not single, Mark and I just had a fight." Ashley looked at Ellie. Ellie stopped walking, and turned to face Ashley.
"Ash, I thought you knew. Mark is seeing his ex. I saw them at a party last week. They hooked up there." Ellie put her hand on Ashley's shoulder. "I'm sorry Ash," Ellie mumbled before she started walking down the hall.
"I'll talk to you later," Ellie called before she disappeared around the corner.
Ashley was upset. Not again, not again she thought. God, I can't do anything right.
Ashley turned around and exited Degrassi. She found herself heading toward the basketball court outside, and sat down on a bench. Ashley cried a little bit.
"Hey," a voice called out. It was Trevor. He was standing behind the bench.
"Hey," Ashley answered. Trevor sat down next to Ashley.
"So, you like, know about Mark?" Trevor asked casually, as usual.
Ashley wiped away her hot tears. "Yeah, Ellie told me. She also told me you two broke up."
Trevor gazed at Ashley. "Yeah, we broke up. It kind of sucked." Trevor looked down at the ground.
They were silent, for a few minutes, and then Ashley burst into tears again.
"You know Trevor, life has kind of sucked these past 2 months. My love life, my home life, and my social life." Ashley was practically sobbing.
"Ash, you can be like so annoying. You're always complaining. Mark couldn't take all your baggage."
"Just because I didn't want to have sex with him, doesn't mean that I'm selfish." Ashley was growing angry.
"No, Ash, that was the last straw. I told you all the crap that he gave up for you. He made sure you were okay with everything. I would've broken up with you way before he did. He just didn't want to, because you were having such a hard time. He's a good guy, but you suck as a girlfriend." Trevor looked really annoyed.
They sat in silence for a couple minutes a longer.
Ashley looked around. She could see the steps from the bench. Paige, Hazel, Jimmy, Spinner, and Craig were all laughing together on the steps.
"I used to be apart of that crew. It was kind of cool. Now, everything is so different." Ashley stared at the group.
Tears started to flow.
"The floodgates open once again." Trevor announced.
"Shut up!" Ashley laughed. She playfully hit him.
"Wait, let's see how long Ashley Kerwin can go without shedding a tear, or talking about how much her life blows."
Ashley started to laugh. Her sides hurt so much she could barely move.
"I didn't realize it was that funny." Trevor gave a wry smile.
The bell rang.
"Do you want to go in?" Trevor looked at Ashley.
"No, not really," Ashley replied. "You want to hang out?"
"Yeah, I guess." Trevor stood up. "Let's go downtown, I have money now. There's no one to spend it on." The look on Trevor's face immediately showed that he was hurting from the breakup.
"Yeah, that's cool."
Ashley stood up, and she and Trevor walked toward the bus stop.
They were sitting on the steps outside the school. They had about 20 minutes until the bell rang, but they didn't want to run into another teacher telling them to get to class.
