PROLOUGE: Over The Summer

Last year was the worst ever, Manny dreaded coming back. The worst possible things happened, JT, Rick and Craig. So much went wrong she was determined for it not to happen again. But she had to admit; she had a great summer. Meeting Derrick was the best thing had happened since Craig. Well, before Craig viciously ripped her heart apart. Derrick had just moved to Degrassi over the summer, he was a junior this year just like Manny. He was about 5'10", green eyes with black hair. He had a golden bronze color to him and had the best smile ever. He had moved just down the street from Manny and their mothers had become good friends over the summer. So it wasn't a surprise that they hung out so much and their parents wanted them to be together. They would be a perfect couple; sooner or later they both knew it would happen. I mean they were so alike. Manny spent all her time with him, not worrying about the past years events. Derrick just stole her heart and wouldn't give it back. She was excited about him starting the new year there at Degrassi high, but wasn't to keen on all the girls he would meet. But he belonged to her and they were a couple. All those mesmerizing nights they spent together. He was definently better in bed than Craig was; he made her scream so loud that the entire city was probably awake.

Derrick and her had made commitments and promises that no one would or could come between them. Manny told Derrick of her past so he would fully understand her reputation and not e surprised when some one else told him, she told him of Rick and the torture he was put through and of his sad death. Also how her and JT had been with each other but quickly broke up and about Emma, about everything. He told her that nothing would make the way he felt about her now could change. One more day until school starts, tomorrow she would be in class with all her classmates but she was fully dreading it.

Manny was wrapped quietly in Derrick's arms thinking of how the day would go tomorrow, of all the looks Derrick would get. She loved him so much, even more than Craig. She didn't want to lose him and she wasn't planning on it. The first day back she was going to show everyone just how serious they were.

She turned in his arms to face him.

"I love you so much Derrick." She whispered looking into his green eyes.

"And I love you more gorgeous." He smiled and whispered back.

HE gave her a passionate kiss and they stayed out with each other 'til Manny had to go inside for dinner. His family had joined hers for dinner and they all sat and chatted about the new school plans. It was 10 by the time Derrick and his family left, with a final kiss goodnight he left. He would be there in the morning to pick her up for school; she was too young to drive still, only being 15.
