It had been over a year and a half since anyone last heard of Manny Santos. Everything was going fine at Degrassi. Craig and Emma became Degrassi's IT couple and have been for quite a while. Craig was already a senior and Emma a Junior. JT finally gave Liberty a chance, Sean has been straightening up his act, a little. Spinner and Paige decided to be friends and Hazel and Jimmy are happy together too. The only person that seemed unhappy was Ashley. Everyone knew she still loved Craig.
Craig walked Emma to her class and gave her a little innocent peck on the lips that turned to a passionate kiss.
"I am so happy things turned out good."
"So am I. Well, I have to go now. Bye Emma."
Emma took her seat next to Sean and JT and ignored their discussion.
"Hello. Earth to Emma. Emma?"
"Oh, sorry guys. I just can't get Craig out of my mind."
Sean rolled his eyes. He hated how Emma was so obsessed with Craig. It drove him crazy. What does she see in him?
"Well, Do you love him?"
"I'm not sure… But I do care for him a lot."
"Emma… Are you forgetting that he was Manny's love?"
"Craig's my new best friend now…and Manny's not."
In Craig's classroom, his friends were bugging him about the same thing.
"Did you hit that yet?"
"Spinner, shut up. No, I haven't and I don't think it's the right time, so be quiet about it."
"Not the right time? What the heck? You guys have been inseparable for like ever. So what's the problem?"
"I'm not sure I love her yet."
"Craig, it's been almost 2 years. Manny isn't coming back."
Craig just rolled his eyes and tried to focus on their worksheets. Across the room, Ashley and Ellie heard the whole thing.
"He doesn't love Emma? Is he crazy?"
"Whatever, El. I guess he still loves Manny. But if it bothers him so much, he wouldn't be dating her best friend. I hear they're going to the Dot later. We should go too."
"Sure Ash, But Can we just drop the subject and can you just admit you love him still?"
"Shut up. Let's get back to our worksheets."
"Yeah. We should. You're probably failing this class because all you do is stare at Craig all period! Hello, Ash?? See you're looking at Craig again!"
"Huh? No I wasn't. I was looking at the door. I thought I saw some dark-haired girl staring in.
