Hello everyone! This is the second chapter of the story. I hope you all like. I just realized that I didn't add a disclaimer in the first chapter so I'm going to add that right now.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything that belongs to Degrassi. But if I did own something it would definatly own Mike Lobel or Jake Epstein.
Chapter 2:
Skipping Class
Craig gave me an odd look as he flipped open the book. "Okay, where do you want to start?"
"Where Juliet kills herself."
"Um, but we don't have any lines there."
"Exactly."
"Sorry about my friend, she's in a bad mood. Just had a run in with Jay." Reagan stated as she took a seat next to me.
"Oh, I see. You know Alex, I can feel your pain."
"You can feel my pain? I don't think so."
"Well I mean that I was once in your shoes."
"No, you've never been in my shoes. You didn't start dating Manny after Ashley broke up with you. Jay started dating Miss. Green Peace right away. So I don't think you know what its like to be in my shoes."
"Your right about that, but I felt like shit after the whole thing went down. And with Manny getting the abortion and all."
"I don't want to hear any of your sob stories, let's just get this over with."
"I was just trying to help Alex."
"Well don't try to help, I don't need it." I stated as I started to read through my part.
"Is she always like this?" I heard Craig question Reagan.
"Every time she sees Jay. So yeah, basically." she said with a small shrug.
"You two do know that I'm sitting right here." I said as I glanced up from my book.
The three of us managed to get through the first scene in act one without any problems. By the time the bell had rung I was ready to get out of that stuffy classroom.
I grabbed my bag from the desk, stuffing the play book into it before swinging it over my shoulder. Reagan and I stood up, walking out of the classroom.
"Wait up." I heard some one call out to us.
I turned around, crossing my arms across my chest as I glanced at Craig.
"I think that we should get together some day after school to work on the play since we didn't get very much done." he stated, fiddling with his backpack strap.
"Tomorrow, after school. We'll meet you out front after the last bell." Rae stated.
Before I could object she grabbed me by the arm and pulled me down the hallway.
"What the hell Rae? I don't want to spend any time at that low life's house."
"Alex, he's a lot better the Jay. Now Jay's a real low life. Plus we really need to work on this play if we want to get a good grade on it."
"Good grade's my ass." I muttered.
"Just do this one thing for me Alex." she said, giving me puppy dog eyes.
"So if I do this that means I won't have to think about going to the party for Sean?"
"No, you still have to think about that."
"You owe me big time Reagan Jones."
"Thanks Alex." she said with a big grin before disappearing down the hallway.
"Welcome." I muttered at her retreating figure before I headed for my locker.
Ellie was already standing in front of it, tapping her foot impatiently.
"Don't you usually meet Ashley?" I questioned her as she moved out of the way to let me get to my locker.
"She's sick today so I thought that we could walk to math together."
"I would love to do that, but math is not something that I want to deal with today."
"Are you suggesting that your going to skip?"
"Wow Nash, you catch on real quick." I stated with a roll of my eyes.
"Alex, you can't skip. Remember what Armstrong said?"
"Yeah, don't remind me."
"Well then that means you have to go to class."
"No it doesn't. And either do you."
"No way Alex. I'm not skipping with you."
"Come on Nash. You want me to go to that party your throwing for Sean?"
"Yeah."
"This is the only way that I'll go. Plus, its only one period. No one is going to miss us that much."
"Fine, if its the only way you'll come to the party."
"Your making a good choice Nash."
"Yeah right." she muttered as we made our way for the doors.
Walking towards the ravine I let out a small sigh as I pulled out a pack of cigarettes.
"You do know that those kill you?"
"Thanks for that news break." I stated with another roll of my eyes.
"Just telling you."
"Well I do know and I don't care."
"You don't seem to care about much these days."
"There's not much to care about these days." I said lighting up a cigarette.
"Well maybe if you found someone who could replace Jay, then you'd care about something."
"I don't want to find someone to replace Jay. I don't need anyone to replace Jay."
"Alex, you can't live your life being bitter about this whole mess."
"I'm not being bitter."
"Yes you are. You don't care about anything anymore. At least when you were with Jay you cared about something."
"Maybe I did, but Jay took away everything that I cared about."
"So you have to find a new guy."
"Why are you so persistent about me finding a new guy?"
"Sean has this really good friend whose coming with him this weekend. I was hoping that you could meet him."
"I'm going to be at the party. I'll meet him there." I said taking a puff of the cigarette.
"Well, he's really nice, funny, and cute."
"Ellie, if you plan on setting me up with him , forget about it."
"Why not?"
"Because, I don't need someone in my life. I just got out of a relationship and I'm not looking for a new one anytime soon."
"Just thing about him."
"Fine." I said with a sigh as I rested on a log.
"Thanks Alex." she said with a smile as she sat down next to me.
And that is the second chapter. Hoping that you will all like it. Read and Review please.
