Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi or any of the Degrassi characters. I only own the new girl in the story, Kayleigh.

Author's Note: Please review if you like it or don't like so I know what I'm doing right or wrong. I'm open to ideas and suggestions for the story! Sorry if the margins are also messed up, we're having trouble with Microsoft Word lately, so when I notice that they're off, I'll edit to fix them if I can. And let me know if you think the chapters are too long or too short. And I'm good at writing essays and stuff for school but I've never really written things with dialogue. According to grammar check, everything's okay, but if you notice something I could fix, you can let me know. Thanks!  The main focus of the story is Paige and Spinner, but to make this fanfic longer, I also added in other characters and other situations, so it may seem confusing at first as to why some thing are in there, but at the end it'll all make sense. Even though the fanfic is mainly Spinner and Paige, some chapters don't fully focus on them, but towards the end they will.

Chapter One

Walking into Degrassi Community School, Hazel, Jimmy and Paige are seen talking.

"Hey honeybee!" Paige exclaimed as Spinner walked over to join them.

"Hello Sweet Potato!" Spinner replied while he walked over to give her a kiss.

"Ugh, stop with the mushy nicknames!" whined Jimmy.

Paige shot him a look and then laughed. "Come on Hazel, we've gotta get to class now anyway. See you both later!"

They walked into the building and headed to class, leaving the guys outside to talk.

"Dude I wish it was Friday."

"Only one more day man. Do you have plans with Paige this weekend?"

"Yea, but it's a surprise so don't tell her. She knows we're going out to dinner, but I didn't tell her that we were going to Chateau La Mer.

Jimmy's eyes widened, "Woah, that place is expensive. What's the occasion?"

"I know, but she's always wanted to eat in a fancy French restaurant and it's our 18 month anniversary tomorrow."

"Aww, hot cute!" Jimmy said in a mock girly voice.

"That's not all though, I bought her a really pretty necklace that I know she's been wanting for a while."

Jimmy added jokingly, "She really has you wrapped around her finger, doesn't she?!"

"Hey just wait until Hazel wants you to take her somewhere fancy, I bet you'll be the first one to do whatever you can to please her."

"Eh, I guess. Anyway, have fun!"

Spinner grinned with a strange look in his eyes, "Oh, don't worry, we will."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Dude, tomorrow's the night!"

"What night?"
"THE night, ya know. We're finally gonna do it."

"Has Paige agreed to this?"

"Well, she doesn't know yet, but she's been hinting that she's ready."

"Yea, well you'd better be careful or the whole thing will blow up in your face."

"Whatever, just don't say anything to her about it, ok?"

"Alright."

Bell rings

"See ya later."

"Yea, later dude."

Cafeteria-Spinner and Jimmy are waiting on the lunch line for their food, while Paige and Hazel are talking at their regular lunch table. They had also invited Ashley and Ellie to eat with them that day.

"Who's that girl?" Hazel asked.

"What girl?" Paige replied.

Ellie jumped into the conversation, "The one sitting at that table over there, eating all alone. She must be new; I've never seen her around before."

"Maybe we should invite her to eat with us," Ashley suggested.

"I don't know," Paige wondered out loud, "How about we wait until tomorrow and if she's still alone, then we'll ask her to come over."

"Alright." The others agreed.

They sat there for a moment looking in her direction. "She looks pretty cool." Ellie decided.

"Hey Paige, we need another person for the Spirit Squad since Melanie broke her leg. She looks like she might be good, why don't you ask her to try out?" Hazel said, trying to help.

"Yea, maybe. Not right now, we're eating, I'll find time to talk to her later."

They sat there, just thinking until Paige broke the silence.

"So, Haze, what are you and Jimmy doing this weekend?"

"I don't know, nothing much. He has basketball practice Saturday morning and then a game Saturday night. We barely get to spend time together anymore."

"At least you have a boyfriend!" Ashley said, stating her opinion.

"Don't worry Ash, I'm sure you'll find someone soon." "And if not, then I may have to do some matchmaking!"

"Paige, when have you ever made a match that actually lasted?"

"Well... there's a first time for everything!" The others just looked at her doubtfully.

"And speaking of first times," Paige continued, "Spinner and I might have our first time this weekend."

"First time for...." Ellie started.

"Uh-huh," Paige interrupted, "It's our 18 month anniversary so I know he must have something nice planned for me, so I thought I'd do something nice for him in addition to the gift."

Ashley began, "Are you sure you're ready? After the whole Dean thing?"

"I'm so over that, the trial isn't for a while so I won't be thinking about that yet, and besides I love Spinner. But don't tell him, I want it to be a surprise"

Just then the guys came over to join them.

"Hey, did I hear my name?" Spinner questioned.

"Yes, we were just wondering which one of you could eat the most spray cheese in one minute and I bet you could." Ashley stated.

Hazel gave her a look, as if to say 'Why would we be talking about that?'

But the guys didn't seem to notice; they just laughed and started complaining about Ms. Kwan's big test later that day.

A few minutes later the bell rang, and the gang headed off to their classes. Paige entered the media immersion lab.

Mr. Simpson began, "Okay class, today we have a new student. Her name is Kayleigh McCann and she just moved here from New York." "Kayleigh, is there anything you'd like to say about yourself?"

"Um...well I guess you already know my name and where I'm from so there's not much to say, but I'm hoping to really like going to Degrassi. My cousins used to go here and I've heard so many good things, so I hope I like it too."

"Okay, thanks Kayleigh. Why don't you sit down next to Paige."

Kayleigh scanned the room for someone to wave and show her where to sit. Finally a girl with long blonde hair raised her hand and Kayleigh headed toward her direction. As she was walking to her seat, she saw Paige look her up and down as if she were judging her clothes, her hair, and even the way she walked. At first Kayleigh felt intimidated, but then she realized that she looked the best she could and she actually felt pretty confident for once.

"Alright guys, if you look at the screen....." Mr. Simpson continued.

As soon as she sat down Paige said, "Hi, I'm Paige." "Nice to meet you, I'm Kayleigh."

"So, you're from New York? That is so cool! They have the best shopping there!"

"Yea, I lived on Long Island so it was only a 45 minutes train ride into Manhattan so we went a lot. That's one thing I'll really miss about home, but we'll still go back sometimes and my grandparents still live there so we'll have to visit them."

"Oh ok. Do you do any kind of cheerleading, dance, or gymnastics?"

"Um...well I'm not too good....but I used to do Irish Step Dancing. And now I'm taking jazz and tap. I've only done a little gymnastics, but never cheerleading."

"Alright, well I'm head cheerleader, but here we call it 'Spirit Squad.' Anyway, one of our main girls broke her leg so I was wondering if you'd like to try out to fill in for her for the rest of the season."

"I don't know, where I came from, cheerleaders were pretty stereotypical and not very nice. I just don't know if I'd fit in with you guys. I mean, I do want to make friends and you don't seem mean or anything, but...."
"Just give it a try, I bet it'll be fun; all the girls in school will envy you and want to be your friend. And it's not a bad way to meet guys either!" Paige said, giggling.

"Alright," Kayeligh said reluctantly. She didn't want to lose the hope of becoming Paige's friend since she was the first person who had actually talked to her all day, aside from the teachers.

At the end of class, Paige told Kayleigh to meet them after school the next day in the gym. Kayleigh thought, 'Maybe this won't be so bad after all. Today actually went pretty well.'
