A/N: I don't own Degrassi or it's characters, but if I did, the show would be totally different. :)
It's about time my account was unlocked. Sorry for the mishaps everyone, from now on I will be more careful about where I place my stuff.
Paige spread out on the couch, yawning. She glanced at the TV in disdain.
"Not ANOTHER episode of Room Raiders. I swear. And you know that if a guy raided my room, he definitely wouldn't pick me. How lame is it to pick someone by their room?"
Ellie rolled her eyes, throwing a piece of popcorn at the blond.
"Once that guy saw your Angelina Jolie poster, he'd go bananas." She pointed out, looking at Paige, trying not to laugh.
Ashley got up from the chair she was in, grabbing her blanket from the floor.
"Well girls, it's getting late. I think I'm going to go to bed. Help yourself to anything you want, and don't trash the place, okay?" She flashed them a smile. "Goodnight."
Paige and Ellie watched as Ashley walked upstairs. Once she was gone, they looked at each other nervously. They weren't really friends, and they didn't really know each other all that well. The only experience they'd really had, had been relatively awkward. The whole cutting incident.
Paige cleared her throat, sitting up on the couch. "Ellie, sit here. I want to talk to you. Get to know you better," Ellie gave her a weird look. Shrugging, she got up and sat down beside of her new friend, or at least, acquaintance. "Is Ellie your real name?" She asked.
Ellie smiled. "That's how you're going to get to know me better? And no, it's not. My name's actually Eleanor. But if you call me that, be prepared to get a broken nose."
Paige nodded, putting some popcorn in her mouth. "Alrighty then. I'll keep that in mind. Are you still dating Sean?" She questioned, chewing.
"No. We broke up. Don't really wanna talk about it. Are you still dating that Spinner guy?" Ellie threw back.
Paige shook her head. "Nope. Long story short, I wrecked his car. On purpose. And lots of other horrible things. But that doesn't matter now, because he was being an absolute jerk to me anyway, and apparently now he likes Manny. Stupid slut." Paige mumbled.
Ellie chuckled. "Are you calling Spinner a slut, or Manny one?"
Paige shoved Ellie playfully. "Oh shut up, you." They both smiled. Paige took the remote to the TV, desperately trying to find some non-reality show to watch on television. Finding nothing, she decided they could watch The Notebook. They were both girls after all, and that movie was a very girly movie.
Ellie turned around, gazing at the TV screen. "Oh lord. The NOTEBOOK? Isn't that like a chick flick?" She pretended to gag herself.
"Yes, it's a chick flick. And it's a good one. So be quiet and watch it."
They were both silent for a long time, watching. Paige was also watching Ellie, to see her reactions to certain parts. When it started getting sad, Paige could barely see anything. Her eyes were welling up with tears. She heard Ellie sniffling.
"Are you crying?" Paige teased, nudging Ellie.
"No, of course not!" Ellie snapped, but Paige heard her sniffle again. Paige reached over for Ellie's hand, and took it slowly in hers. She scooted over closer to the redhead. Ellie just looked at her, not saying a word. They both turned their attention back to the movie and didn't say anything.
But then came the part when they were getting back together. Ellie and Paige cried out in happiness, hugging each other. Ellie pulled away, staring at Paige with wide eyes. Why was she hugging Paige Michalchuk? The opposite of everything she stood for?
Ellie thought about it. Paige wasn't that bad. People were people. It wasn't her fault she was beautiful, and it wasn't her fault she was rich. It also wasn't her fault that beautiful and rich automatically equals popular. Ellie smiled, still looking at Paige. Paige just stared back. She smiled. Ellie put her head on the blonde's shoulder, watching the movie and trying not to cry.
Ellie's cheeks turned pink when the movie started to get more heated. She could hear Paige's breathing, and that only seemed to make her more nervous. Lifting her head off of Paige's shoulder, Ellie coughed. Paige turned her attention away from the movie.
"Ellie, you okay?" She asked, slightly concerned.
"I'm fine." Ellie replied. They both took a glance back at the movie. The characters were in the heat of passion. Paige blushed a little when their gaze met again.
The blond grabbed Ellie's hand quickly. Everything was silent. All they could hear was the movie, their heavy breathing, and their ever-beating hearts.
Something about that movie made them just click. Paige touched the redhead's cheek, and put a hand on the petite girl's waist. Ellie laughed nervously, putting her hands on Paige's face, pulling it to hers. They kissed. Though it was slightly awkward, and kind of out of nowhere, the two smiled. Letting go of each other, they watched the rest of the movie in silence.
When the movie was over, they turned off the television. Paige laid backwards on the couch, and Ellie snuggled up beside her. With pleasant grins on their faces, they both drifted off to sleep.
It was morning. Well, maybe. Ellie was a bit too groggy to know anything right now. Ashley, who was trying desperately to walk into the kitchen quietly, had woken her up. Ellie took a glance at Paige, and noticed they were both there together on the couch. She quickly remembered about last night, and got up.
Paige stirred, but only slightly. Ellie walked into the kitchen, throwing an uneasy glance at Ashley. Ashley smirked. "Hey, I'm not gonna ask."
Ellie leaned on the counter. "Good, because it's nothing. We just happened to fall asleep in a very compromising position." She lied.
Ashley got out a bowl and some cereal, and began to pour. "I can see how that would happen. It's completely understandable." She smiled again, getting out the milk.
Ellie stood there, a little thrown. She knew what happened last night was certainly out of range, and a little impossible. She wasn't even totally sure it actually happened. What she did know is that if it did happen, it was amazing. She'd never shared a kiss like that with Sean. Such PASSION. Ellie shrugged, returning to the couch.
That's what chick flicks do to you.
