Note: OK I have been informed that Joey and Manny know eachother. I assumed
they did but I think having them just meet is good for my story. I also
apologize for sometimes switching between past and present tense. I Forget
that I am allowed to do present tense because it is from a point of view
lol. I will try to fix that. Hope that you all enjoyed the last chapter. I
am trying to remember each chapter so I can make the story go with it all.
Anyone that has reviewed so far, Your positive feedback has kept me going
and I will try to use some of your ideas and answer some questions in the
story if I can. Here goes another chapter.
Chapter 5
I walk into the house to see that dinner is ready and that Joey is in the kitchen with Angie. "Hey, I'm home" I say as I sit down at the table. Angie runs up to me and gives me a hug before sitting down herself. "OK dinner is served" Joey says as he puts spaghetti on the table.I quickly eat it and ask to be excused to do homework. I pick up the phone on the way up and decide to call Manny before homework. I dial her number as I sit down on my computer chair. The phone rings until I hear her answer . Manny:Hello Craig: Hey I told you I would call 'I smile as I say it' Manny: Hi Craig, I really enjoyed watching the movie with you today. I am going to miss you when I leave. Craig: I am going to miss you too but I'll always be a phone call away, if you can get to a phone that is. Manny: If there is a phone you know I will call you. I wish I didn't have to leave. Craig:You should enjoy your vacation, just think of all the time we have when you get back. Manny:Promise we can be together as soon as I get back? Craig: Yeah, I will be waiting the whole time and I won't let any girls take me from you. Manny: I have to do homework. Bye, I love you. Craig:I love you too, See you at school tomorrow. Manny:Can't Wait With that I took the phone back downstairs and started my homework. I turned my light off and went to sleep with a smile on my face thinking about Manny and what I should give her for Christmas.
I woke up and got dressed quickly so I could stop by the Jewelry store and get Manny something. "Joey, I am going to head out early to stop at the store." "OK, Here is a Poptart for the go" I grab it quickly and walk out the door. I open the door to the jewelry store and look around, spotting the perfect necklace. It is silver with a heart attached to it that has the message "I love you" engraved inside. I pay for it and walk to school in a hurry. As I reach the school I spot Manny and hurriedly pull her aside. "I got you a present. Here" I pull out the necklace in a little box and her face lights up as she opens it. "Open the heart up" I watch her open it and she looks near tears. " Its so nice Craig. Thank you so much. I love you" We kissed for a minute before pulling away to go to homeroom. I open my locker and put my stuff away before going to the MI lab. Mr.Simpson walks in collecting homework and we all get ready to go to the "Holidays around the world" Festival. The people in it got to leave to get ready while the others, including me, got to find a seat in the audience. Ashley had done the favor of canceling our Guitar act.
When it was about time to start Manny appeared. She had been helping with the make-up. She sat next to me smiling. "Hey Craig." "Hi, excited to see this?" "Yeah, from the rehearsals it will be cool. Which reminds me, I saw Ashley back there. Didn't she cancel your act?" "She was back there? I wonder what she is up to? Oh well that doesn't matter cause I got my girl and couldn't be happier." I kissed her on the cheek and we both sat back as JT came out to start announcing the show.
JT:Good Morning everyone and Welcome to the "Holidays Around The World" Festival. There will be a series of acts that students from Degrassi from different cultures with present to you. We'll start off with Toby Isaacs and his story of Hanukkah. Hope you all enjoy the show. I was sitting and watching the show and noticed Ashley on the corner or the stage staring out at me. Our act would have been next so I was a little nervous what she was planning during that time but I knew it couldn't be anything too bad since it had to be holiday related. Toby finished his act and JT came back out to announce the next Act. JT: That was the story or Hanukkah and next up we have Ashley Kerwin who will be reciting a poem called "Holiday" I watched Ashley appear on the stage and she looked directly at me as she started to recite the poem.
Candy canes and Christmas trees
I see them all around me
Love and happiness
Are at their best
But not everything is as it appears
There is also among us cheaters
They make us shed tears
Not every Holiday is filled with Cheer
Santa Claus and Christmas Trees
Holding the key
To a childhood fantasy
Families just getting together
Families falling apart in the weather
Fathers drinking beer
Not every Holiday is filled with Cheer
So if you ask me what I think of the Holidays I will tell you what I just said.
Making sure that everyone knows Not every Holiday is filled with Cheer.
I just sat there stunned. Ashley had stood there and directly staring at me, recited a poem about how the holidays were from her perspective this year. She was aiming to get back at me and she succeeded. I felt guilty but I also told myself to relax and not let it get to me because I know I love Manny and I no longer have to think about the choice I made. Breaking up with Ashley was the single best thing that happened to me and the worst to her. I am over her and she is just going to have to realize that. "Not every Holiday is filled with cheer" But for me this one is.
Don't worry this is not the end of the story, only this chapter. I went to sleep last night thinking about it and I came up with the idea of Ashley reciting a poem corresponding with the title. I hope you all liked it and would like to hear from you what you thought about the poem and this chapter. I am not going to go into detail about the Joey+Caitlin situation that happened in "holiday" Because I want to focus on Craig and Manny. When the holidays are over in the story I will still continue even though the title refers mostly to this chapter in a way. I think the second part of the poem was better. I'll update soon.
