Sean got slowly out of the car. He walked over to Manny, took her arm, and together they took their first steps back into a Degrassi hallway. Sean stopped and looked, taking it all in. It was literally like walking into a time warp. His surroundings had not changed much since his days there.

Manny stood, her arm linked in his, beaming at everyone and everything. All of the fears that she had been having about coming to the reunion seemed to melt away with every former friend she recognized.

Someone tapped Sean on the shoulder, making him snap back into the present.

"What?" he asked. Sean turned around to look at a short black woman with red square glasses and fly away crinkled hair.

This woman was so very forward that it was almost startling. It could only be one person…"Hello, Liberty Van Zant, you need a name tag. Name please?"

Her promptness was actually intimidating

"Uh…yeah…Sean Cameron. I should be on there." He said, trying to glance at her roll sheet that was attached to her clipboard. Liberty quickly pulled the clipboard closer to her chest so Sean could no longer see.

"Right…" Liberty said, checking his name off of her list. "Here." She said, handing Sean his nametag. "Nice to see you again, Sean."

"Yeah…" Sean said slowly, "you too." He took the tag and stuck it on his chest pocket.

"So," Liberty said, turning to look at Manny, "is this your wife? Because I don't have you down for any guest passes and she…"

Manny cut Liberty off, "Oh no, I should be on there. Manny Santos."

Liberty paused. "Well hello Manny. I haven't seen you in a while. So are you two married?" She had returned to her list, searching for Manny's name.

"Oh, no." Manny said, trying to sound casual and not embarrassed.

With her nose still down at the paper, Liberty said, "So is this a bastard child?"

Manny began to blush profusely. "Well, no…it's not Sean's."

Sean saw Liberty struggle to hide her smirk. "Oh…I see." She was now glaring at Manny in a disapproving way. Manny gave a weak smile, as she was lost for a response. Some things never change, she thought.

"Okay…" Sean cut in, "We'll see you later Liberty. Nice talking to you." He put his arm around Manny's waist and gently led her away.

"Bye." Liberty said before swarming another couple, inquiring for their names.

"Great." Manny said, "Now Liberty thinks I'm some sort of sex whore and she is going to inform everyone of it." The run-in with Liberty seemed to have put a big damper on Manny's good mood.

"Lets just wander, alright? Don't worry about Liberty." Sean said, pulling her closer to him. He led her up and down the familiar hallways. Manny recognized certain people as she walked by. She would smile or wave occasionally, but mostly she kept to herself. There was only one person who she had been really looking forward to seeing at this reunion, and he had his arm around her.

Manny knew that if she talked to anyone then they would ask about the baby and Manny would be forced to tell them her humiliating story. She did not feel like repeating it to everyone. Sean and Manny turned into the cafeteria to get some refreshments. Manny scanned the room, looking for her old classmates.

Her eyes locked on one particular guy sitting at the bar. He looked straight back at her and gave a sleazy smile that made her sick.

"What's wrong?" Sean asked, taking a good look at her horrified expression. "Who is that?"

"It's…it's Sully." Said Manny exasperatedly.
