It is now a couple months later.
"Hey Lindsay guess what?" Alexia asked excitedly.
"What?"
"There is going to be a huge Halloween party for grades eleven and twelve and we're invited! It's going to be so much fun." Alexia said smiling.
"Where is it?" Lindsay asked.
"Sarah Collard's house"
"I'll go if my mom says I can"
"You have to go!" Alexia exclaimed.
"Can Andrew come? I am not going if he's not".
"Of course he can come! Just as long as you do. You have to be there"
"Gosh Alexia, you're acting like it's our first ever high school party" Lindsay said laughing.
"Hey Mary" Stacey said as she, Nicole, and Melissa walked up to her. Mary had quickly become friends with the four girls.
"Hey Stace!" Mary said smiling, not acknowledging the other girls.
"Who else is excited about the Halloween dance?" Melissa asked.
"I would be, but I don't have a date" Mary said looking at Stacey.
"Really? Neither do I" Stacey said laughing.
"Tommy asked me" Nicole said.
"I'm going with Scott" Melissa said smiling. Surprisingly, if things went well with Scott, he would be her first boyfriend and first kiss.
"You two have no idea how lucky you are to have dates" Stacey commented.
"Well why don't the two of us go together?" Mary blurted out.
"Oh, wow. As friends?" Stacey asked.
"Yeah, friends of course" Mary said nervously.
"So do you the three of you want to sleep over tonight? My mom said you could all come over" Stacey asked.
"I'm sorry. I have to babysit for my neighbor" Nicole said.
"I'm grounded for the next two weeks because I got a D on a stupid test" Melissa explained rolling her eyes.
"I'm sorry. So I guess it's just me and you Mary?" Stacey asked cheerfully.
"Yep"
Anna Michaelchuck-Del Rossi was just about to walk into the school when she heard some voices whispering.
"I heard she has two dads"
"That's gross"
"You know that means she's gay too"
"No she is just going to have mental problems"
"I feel sorry for her. Her life will never be normal"
"I don't feel sorry for her. She's living in sin with people who are living in sin"
"Hey!" she all of a sudden exclaimed.
"What's your deal? We weren't saying anything" a girl named Lucy said looking at her rudely.
"Stop talking about me because it's really getting on my nerves"
"It's not our fault you're going to H-E-double L" Lucy's friend said, as Nolan Brooks and Lauren Mason walked up to them.
"What's going on?" Lauren asked.
"Your little friend has two dads" Lucy answered evilly.
"Yeah, they're my uncles" Lauren replied defensively.
"Well Anna and your uncles are going to H-E-double L" Lucy's friend, Amy said.
"That's not true!" Nolan exclaimed.
"Denial. Don't you think it's the saddest thing in the world?" Lucy asked Amy laughing.
"Yeah" Amy agreed.
"You two don't know anything" Lauren said glaring at them.
"I can't believe they are in denial" Amy said laughing.
"We're not in denial. You just don't know anything" Anna said.
"Whatever we have to get to class" Lucy said, Amy trailing behind her.
It's about lunch time at the high school now. Lindsay, Alexia, and two friends, Cassie and Brianne are talking.
"So who knows what their wearing to the Halloween party? It's in two weeks" Alexia asked.
"Do we dress up? Like in costumes?" Brianne asked.
"Yeah" Lindsay answered.
"I think I might be Alice in Wonderland. I don't know why but I've always wanted to be her" Alexia said.
"Alice in Wonderland?" Cassie asked laughing.
"Yes. Alice in wonderland. I've always wanted to be her"
"What do you want to be?" Lindsay asked Cassie.
"Either Britney Spears or Avril Lavigne" she replied.
"Are you serious?" Brianne asked laughing.
"What's wrong with that?" Cassie asked pretending to look extremely hurt.
"Oh nothing. I think I'll be a waitress"
"Weren't you that last year?" Alexia asked.
"I was going to be but I decided not to"
"You have such a bad memory Alexia" Brianne said laughing.
"Would you shut up?" Alexia responded laughing.
"Are you and Andrew going to dress up alike again?" Cassie asked Lindsay.
"Yeah. This year as Frankenstein and the Bride of Frankenstein"
"Cool. So are you guys still coming to my house to sleep over?" Cassie asked.
"Yeah, my sister's having a friend sleep over and I don't want to have to sleep on the couch" Lindsay said laughing. (She and Stacey share a room).
"I'm there" Brianne said.
"I can't. Sorry" Alexia said sadly.
"Why not?" Cassie asked.
"My mom wants me to babysit my little brothers and sister"
It's about 10:00 at night now. Stacey and Mary are in Stacey's bed talking.
"So, if you don't mind me asking, where's your dad?" Mary asked.
"He's out of town" Stacey said feeling guilty for lying.
"Oh, sorry I was just wondering"
"It's okay, so tell me about your family" Stacey said not helping but looking into Mary's eyes. They were a beautiful deep blue that she could lose herself in.
"Well, my mom is a nurse and I have a little brother who's seven years old and an older sister who's fifteen. She's a sophomore at Degrassi. My dad died when I was ten" Mary said sadly.
"I'm so sorry"
"It's okay"
"Can I ask you something?" Stacey asked uncomfortably.
"Sure"
"How did you know you were...you know... how did you know you liked girls?" Stacey asked looking down.
"I just knew I didn't feel the same way my friends did about guys. I also met this one girl, my first girlfriend and that's how I knew" she explained.
"I think I might be" Stacey said realizing it was the first time she had said it out loud.
"Then this wouldn't be a bad time to tell you I like you as more than a friend?" Mary asked shyly.
"No. I think you're my first crush, actually" Stacey said smiling at Mary.
Before they knew it they kissed which led to making out for a while.
"Wow" Stacey said when they stopped.
"I know. Let's go to sleep and we'll talk in the morning" Mary said.
Little did they know it some sneaky person had seen the whole thing.
