Chapter 2- Tension Rises
As soon as Craig saw her he picked he up spinning her around. "How's the most gorgeous girl at Degrassi doing?" Craig asked kissing both of her cheeks. Playfully she wiped away the kisses. "Horrible" she sighed "I can't believe what a freak Ellie is! She called me a poser!"
"To your face?" Craig sighed too, obviously tired of the Ellie/Ashley drama.
"Well... not really... I was walking by Manny and then Ellie glanced at me and back at them and said 'What a poser!' But I'm so not a poser!"
"Ash, my love, she could have been talking about someone else. You know she thinks a lot of things are poser-ish."
Ashley frowned but and thought about it.
"Come on, let's get to the cafeteria for our schedules!" Ashley said pulling Craig along through the overly crowded hallways
Reaching the cafeteria, Ashley quickly grabbed her schedule from Liberty who was in charge of schedule pick-up. Craig went over to the M's and quickly got his from Kendra and then he walked back to Ash.
"Homeroom?" he asked hopeful and curious.
"Simpson... And you?"
Craig smiled big and replied "Simpson!"
"Oh so cool..." Ashley hugged him and grabbed his arm starting to walk again.
"Awesome, my locker is by the water fountain, the restroom and coke machines!"
"Ugh mine's all the way upstairs... I have one class upstairs!!!" Ashley cringed and Craig put his arm around her rubbing hers.
"Err... You could share with me? I'll talk to Mrs. H. later, Kay?"
"There's you're locker" Ashley pointed. Craig walked over and reading the combo off his schedule he quickly opened up the locker.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Manny sighed loudly as she read her schedule. "Kwan?! Ugh! I cannot have Kwan for Homeroom! Completely unfair!"
"Simpson here" Ellie said
Manny crossed her eyes and spit out her tongue at Ellie.
"Did anybody ever tell you what a loser you are?" Ellie said laughing.
"Only everyday..." Manny replied snatching Ellie's schedule.
"Where's my locker?"
"Right across from mine!" Manny squealed.
Manny and Ellie walked to down the hallway looking at their schedules.
"Manny, you're locker should be right there..."
They both froze, staring at Ashley who was leaning against the locker.
"Excuse me, Ashley" Manny said softly.
Ashley ignored her talking to Craig.
"Why be nice?" Ellie told Manny. "Ashley! Get the hell out of Manny's way!"
Ashley stopped in mid-sentence and looked over at Ellie.
"Excuse me?" Ashley asked glaring.
"You heard me! Move out of Manny's way!"
Manny and Craig both looked at each other worried.
"Ashley, come on, let's just go to class" he said taking her hand.
"Yeah... come on." Ashley said turning away and walking with Craig.
Manny looked at Ellie disappointed. "Do you actually want another broken nose? It's not a very good look on you."
Ellie's eyes flared, "What are you saying? That I couldn't take Ashley."
Manny sighed and put an arm on Ellie's shoulder. "That's not what I'm saying. I'm just trying to keep you out of trouble"
