Author's Note: Sorry it's been so long since I last updated! I've had this chapter written for quite a while and I never typed it because I wasn't even sure if I liked it, so I finally got around to typing it. Thanks to StorytellerD for the encouraging words, which made me take action and not just say everyday "Oh yea, I'm gonna type that one day…and start writing another chapter…" I don't know exactly where I'm going from here; I think I'll have to re-read what I've written and I'll decide from there, but I do know the basic ideas so hopefully I'll have another chapter soon! Please read and review if you like it! :)

The rest of the night went well for all of them. Craig and Kayleigh decided they had done enough work for one day, and they all ended up at Craig's house for a while. They watched TV and talked until it was nearly 11pm, which is when Kayleigh had to be home. Spinner dropped her off and then drove Paige home. She kissed him and then walked up to her doorstep and rang the bell. No one answered so she dug through her purse to find her keys. When she got inside, she found that only her mom was awake, but she had been upstairs in bed reading and didn't hear the bell.

When Paige finally got to bed, she was restless and couldn't fall asleep. She eventually decided to listen to music and write in her journal.

Dear Diary,

Things haven't been great lately. I do a good job of pretending that they are of course. But I'm sick of pretending. What happened to me? I went from being the most popular girl in the grade to just kind of being there. Of course, everyone still thought I was popular and feared my harsh words, but it isn't like it was before…before Dean raped me. Everything changed that night and even though I'm somewhat over it, it's still in the back of my mind, ready to haunt me when I least expect it. I can't help thinking about what Kayleigh said earlier, about the symptoms of anxiety and depression. I don't feel depressed, just weird. Things with Spinner haven't been too good lately. We both pretend like there's no problem, but in the past few weeks something has changed. Are things really so bad that I can show symptoms of mental illness? Hello?! I guess I had fun tonight though. Anyway, I think I'm tired enough to fall asleep now. Good night!

Love, Paige

Kayleigh walked in her front door to find her mom sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Hi Kay, how did the project go?"

"Pretty good. Then we met Paige and Spinner and went back to Craig's house for a while."

"Oh, that sounds good hun. I'm glad you found friends here so quickly. I told you the move could be good!"

"Yea," Kayleigh said, half-smiling, "Where is everyone else?"

"They're sleeping. I'm going up now too, I was just waiting for you to get home."

"Okay, I'm gonna go to bed too. Good night, love you."

"Good night," her mom replied, "Love you too."

Kayleigh sat on the edge of her bed and looked in her full-length mirror. She thought about her life before she moved to Toronto. She was happy there and she had some friends, but she never had a boyfriend or even a true friend. When Kayleigh first met Paige she was hoping that she would be a true friend, and maybe she'd even find a boyfriend this year. But since then she had heard many things about Paige that seemed to say that she shouldn't trust her. As she tried to fall asleep her thoughts wandered back to Craig. She was glad they had been paired up for the project. Of course, she had heard about what happened with him, Ashley, and Manny last year, but people can change. Besides, she wasn't sating him, they were just doing a project together and would hopefully remain friends after that. And at least no one at Degrassi knew her secret. Not that anyone at her old school really knew either, but they did wonder why she had been missing class a lot. Not that it was something she should even have to keep secret, but she was embarrassed about it.

Spinner sighed as he opened the door to his room, kicked off his sneakers, and flopped on to his bed. He switched the TV on and started to flip through the channels. He thought about how weird Paige had been acting this week. 'But things seemed a little better tonight,' he thought, 'By Monday everything will be fine again.'

Craig thought about Kayleigh as he was getting ready for bed that night. He was happy that they were working together and he got the chance to know her. She was knew, so he figured she didn't know what went on last year, and even if she had heard, hopefully she wouldn't judge him based on that.

Okay, so some parts seem a little too predictable about what will happen next, but hopefully I'll put some kind of twist in there, because I don't want it to be too predictable!
