A/N: Thank you all for your lovely reviews! In this chapter will be Snake's reaction. I know most of you are anticipating this, so I won't keep you long.

P.S: I wish I could do something for Jack, and maybe I will, but I'm fresh out of ideas. Any suggestions?

P.P.S: Once again, I'm so glad you like this story! I was a little nervous when I started it... if all goes according to plan, it should be about... thinks 20-21 chapters... I'm not sure, but most likely 21 chapters.

Emma threw herself against the Degrassi Community School wall, breathless. She couldn't even count how many times she had to hide herself because people were walking by.

" Here goes nothing," she whispered and looked around, seeing if anybody was watching. When she was almost positive everybody was in class, she raced through the front doors, ducking so Mrs. H wouldn't see her. She was possibly an even bitchier principal than Mr. Raditch.

Her shoes made a squeaking noise on the tile floor. Squeak, squeak, squeak... Wait... she wasn't making those squeaks...

She darted behind the food machine. ' Why do I keep having these moments where I'll possibly slip!'

The squeaking stopped. Still cautious, she peeked her head out a little and then went right back in.

' Sean'.she thought dazedly, feeling breathless. ' Sean.'

His face screwed up in concentration, he kicked the vending machine. " Damnit," he muttered and pounded it again. Emma let out a little squeak, startled.

Sean backed up. " What the-", he cocked his eyebrow and said, " Who's there?"

Furious with herself, Emma covered up her mouth so he wouldn't hear her breathe. Her head was peeking out just a little so she could see him.

And boy did he look good.

His blonde hair was tousled a little, looking like he had just gotten up and his clear blue eyes were sleepy, making him adorable. He had a curious expression on his face and he darted his head. " Em-"

Heart pounding, she darted back in and prayed to the heavens that he hadn't seen her.

" I could've sworn..." she heard him mutter to himself, then he laughed. " Cameron, you're cracking up."

Still laughing, he kicked the machine again and she heard his shoes squeaking along down the hall. It stopped moments later.

She came out slowly and breathed a sigh of relief that he hadn't caught her. But something in her was disappointed that he hadn't.

' Get a grip, Emma. He doesn't care anymore.'

She felt something warm sliding down her cheek and hastily wiped it off. She had to give Snake his letter.

The bell rang. She panicked. Then, noticing a bathroom she ran into a stall and propped herself up on the toilet. Several girls with small feet and bright pink toenails sauntered in and Emma inwardly groaned. ' The Pink Bitches'.

FLASHBACK

Emma walked down the hallway, feeling more lonely than ever. Manny was still ignoring her because she had accidentally brought up Manny's abortion, Sean was giving her weird/concerned looks all the while kissing Ellie, and Toby was flirting non-stop with her, giving her the heebie-jeebies.

" Nelson!" A girl with short red hair and hazel eyes barked out, Rachel, slamming Emma against the locker. Emma gasped when the door cut her shoulder, making it bleed a little.

" Oh, I'm so sorry, Nelson... here, let me make it better," Rachel sneered and slammed Emma again.

The old Emma would have pushed the girl right back but the new Emma didn't say anything. Another girl with curly, long, black hair and cold blue eyes, Christina, sneered and pushed Emma's books out of her hand.

Emma dropped to the floor silently, tears flooding in her eyes. These girls made her life hell ever since the shooting incident. They blamed Emma for putting their beloved idol, Jimmy Brooks, into a wheelchair.

Emma looked up and noticed her white jacket was stained red with blood. The tears started flowing and she locked eyes with Manny, who was biting her lip, looking like she was about to cry too. Emma shook her head and backed off, running away.

She heard the the girls Rachel, Christina, Miranda, and Jessica laughing all the way to the bathroom.

As she was running, she ran into Sean and he looked at her jacket, looking a little sick. " Emma, what happened?" he asked.

She just shook her head and pushed him away, keeping on running. " Emma!"

He didn't care, she just kept on telling herself. He couldn't care.

END OF FLASHBACK

Shaking her head to remove the memory, she heard Miranda laugh. " I heard that Nelson, has gone like, totally pyscho."

Rachel snickered. " She's probably going to kill herself."

Emma stared down at the floor, trying hard not to reveal herself.

" Why don't you all go back to being sluts and leave Emma the hell alone?" Paige's biting voice snapped at the girls. Emma snapped her head up.

Silence. The bathroom door swung open again and the girls left. Emma could still hear Paige muttering to herself. The warning bell rang. " Shit."

A few minutes passed after Paige had left. Emma still stared down at the floor, trying not to feel guilty. Nobody cared, right? Paige was just... being...Emma ran her fingers through her hair and hastily thought, ' Paige was just mad because she didn't say those things first'

Satisfied, but a little uncomfortable, Emma swung the bathroom door open and started walking to the office, glad that almost nobody was in there. She placed the letter in Snake's mailbox and then saw him walking towards it.

She hid behind the front desk, adjusting her view so she could see him. He was humming cheerfully to himself, patting his barely-there hair down.

" Emma," he said, smiling and ripped the letter open. His smile vanished.

He dropped the letter and grabbed the phone, dialing a number quickly. " Honey?"

His face fell even more. " Honey, just calm down, she's still gotta be alive. Don't worry, I'll start a search team. She can't be dead yet."

He hung up the phone and placed his head in his hands, shaking.

Emma had never seen him cry before. She quietly crawled her way to the door, opened it, and ran out before he could see her.

Things were not going the way she had planned.
