Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi or the characters Manny Santos, Spinner Mason, and Paige Michalchuk. I don't own the song Rock Your Bones nor the CD How Much for Happy. I only own the series that I'm writing and since I'm using other people's things… I'm not sure I own that.
Author's Note: The song is Rock Your Bones from Cassie Steele's CD How Much for Happy. This whole series is just POV pieces from different Degrassi characters and different ships using the entire How Much for Happy CD. I'd suggest that you check out the CD or at least the song because it's beautiful!
Warning: Surprise ahead!
Summary: She started to become controlling and domineering and Spinner finally was able to see her like so many saw her. Paige had taken off that painted smile and let Spinner see the hell monster below. Paige was really just a jealous wench, afraid that someone would rise above her and kick her off her high horse.
She called and asked honey where could he beSo sorry girl but your man is with me
She called and asked baby where is he
So sorry girl but your man is with me
Paige Michalchuk has always had everything. She had the Spirit Squad captainship, she had one of the hottest guys in school, and she was the most popular girl in Toronto. And for some odd reason, many people thought that I was her protégée. They couldn't be more wrong.
Paige was too good for me to be her protegee. She was innocent, despite the fact that she got raped. She didn't deserve half of the things she had. She didn't deserve to be the captain of Spirit Squad. I was much prettier. She didn't deserve to have Spinner and she didn't deserve to be the most popular girl in school. And the sad thing was, I could only change one of those things… Spinner.
I rocked his bones
He rocked my bones
He was alone
So I rocked him
Paige and Spin had been having a rough time for awhile. She backed his brand new car into Dean's at a party. And he almost took the blame. To make matters worse, he forgave her. I wouldn't have forgiven someone for doing that to my new car that I worked so hard for. But I don't think that he fully forgave her.
I invited him to play at the car wash. Paige got sick and Spinner and I started to flirt.
Oh if you didn't complain
There'd be nothing to ignore
Maybe if you weren't a pain
Just the wife and I'm his whore
Hazel showed Paige the picture of me and Spinner hugging at the car wash and Paige started to get royally pissed, as a queen bee should. She didn't want me to take her man. She started to become controlling and domineering and Spinner finally was able to see her like so many saw her. Paige had taken off that painted smile and let Spinner see the hell monster below. Paige was really just a jealous wench, afraid that someone would rise above her and kick her off her high horse.
I rocked his bones
He rocked my bones
I was alone
So he rocked me
So they broke up, but not before Craig and Spinner got into a very public fight over me. Better, it was at Paige's job. Paige got tired of him wanting me and dumped him in the cafeteria. I was ready to comfort him and he was ready to comfort me.
Maybe if I wasn't a tease
You'd still have a man
But he was so willing to please
The man with the magic hands
There was only one problem. Spinner is a relationship man. I'm not big on the relationships. I've been in one and that didn't work so well. He was always trying to be the perfect boyfriend, winning me stuffed animals and kissing me in public. But I didn't want someone to call me honeybee or whatever sickeningly sweet pet name it was that Spinner and Paige shared. I didn't want that. I just didn't want to be hurt.
So I made him promise not to hurt me.
I rocked his bones
He rocked my bones
He was alone
So I rocked him
He broke that promise and hurt me. He got expelled because of his involvement with Rick shooting the school. I didn't even know that it was Spinner's fault that Jimmy was paralyzed. And he got expelled. So I couldn't be with him at school, not that I'd really want to be. He had spent so long lying to everyone about why Jimmy was in that wheelchair that I doubted I could ever forgive him. And personally, now that he wasn't with Paige, he had lost most of the appeal.
He was a tool to destroy Paige with.
She called and asked honey where could he be
So sorry girl but your man is with me
She called and asked honey where is he
So sorry girl but your man is with me
Paige didn't have her boyfriend anymore. Soon she wasn't that active about Spirit Squad because she was dating Mr. Oleander. She seemed to be losing popularity also. Too many lies can do that to a person. She wasn't little miss perfect anymore and that made me happy. It meant that possibly I was doing the right thing. I had finally been able to knock Paige off of her high horse.
I rocked his bones
He rocked my bones
I was alone
So I rocked him
It all started with Spinner. But it ended with me and Paige. And that's how it will always be. Because as much as I hate Paige Michalchuk, I don't think it's hating her that keeps me up at night.
