I just had to write this because for some reason,I'm SO IN LOVE WITH JT!clears throat sorry. I'm ok now. No,wait,HE'S SOO HOT! AND SWEET! AND I LOVE HIM! sighok,now I'm done. nervous laugh ok,let's just get on with the story now,ok?

Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi,the characters of JT.(but if I can marry him,then we can call it even)Relax I'm only joking.

And I do own Taren. If anyone can tell me what grade the Cassie Jt and Emma are in now,I'll be so grateful.

Oh,and by the way,this takes place while they're in high school. This episode is in the season that's airing now,(with the new episodes and all that.)

Also,(it's ok,this is the last thing.) we just got digital cable,so I just started watching Degrassi,and it was the middle school episodes,so if anything I write is out of character for these people,PLEASE let me know. Because I want to be accurate.

Ok,now...to the story!(I bet you're happy.)lol.

"So, Paige,the valentine's day dance is coming up soon..." J.T. leaned against the locker next to hers,trying to appear confident.

She rolled her eyes."The dance isn't for another month,J.T., and no,I won't go with you."

"I never asked you to,"he protested.

She looked at him from over her pink shaded sunglasses."You were going to. "she shut her locker and started to walk away,"I'm just saving us both valuable time."

He stared after her. "You only saved three seconds!" he called after her.

Emma walked up to him,"J.T.,why don't you set your sights on somebody in our grade? She's older than us."

"Yeah,"Manny stated.,"besides,you still have a month.That's plenty of time to find a date."

They started walking to homeroom.

"Who am I going to ask?"he groaned,"I mean there's either no one left or no one who wants to go with me."

"Just don't worry about it,"Manny patted his shoulder."the right girl will come along eventually."

"Eventually. Meaning never."

Emma rolled her eyes,"Just do what Manny saidand quit worrying."

"Can we talk about aomething else now?" he personally felt very pathetic.

"Well,new gossip"Manny turned to Emma,"word is there's a new student.In our grade level!"

"Awesome!"Emma grinned,"maybe it'll be a guy."

"A hot guy."

They both squealed in excitement. JT rolled his eyes and slowed down in pace."You guys go on ahead,"he said. They barely heard him. He sighed and took a detour to the boys' restroom.

Looking at himself in the mirror,he had to wonder.'What's wrong with me?' he thought. He had brown hair that went down to his jawline,and brown eyes. He didn't look that bad at all.He sighed.

"Man,I'm so pathetic." he muttered.

"Yeah,you are."

JT Turned to see Toby standing in the doorway smirking,"talking to yourself,JT?"

JT grinned."Onlt when you aren't around."he joked back.

"But seriously,JT,what's wrong?Why are you so pathetic? Because Paige turned you down?" he looked at him from behind his glasses," 'Cause if that's why,she does that to everyone except Spinner,and you know it."

"That's easy for you to say.You have Kendra. Everyone has a boyfriend already."he sighed,"There's no hope for me."

Toby shook his head."Dude,you know that's not true."

"And you know it is."

Toby rolled his eyes.His friend had always had a hard time with girls,but now he was getting rediculous."Well,what about Liberty?"

JT stared at her."You know we aren't together anymore."

"Well,I know.But I mean,she was your girlfriend for a while.You had a girlfriend,JT.You're not hopless. So quit acting like it."

JT stared at him,his words starting to register in his head."Yeah,you're right!"

"Now I gotta go.So do you.Class is going to start.And don't worry.You'll get a girlfriend." he turned to leave ,then stopped,"Oh,and JT?"

"Huh?"

"When you do...one piece of advice."

"Yes?"

Toby winced at the memory,"Don't buy any condoms."

JT laughed,remembering the last time.He told Toby to buy condoms in case Kendra was ever "in the mood".

JTended up getting condoms glued and taped to him by Kendra's brother himlef:Spinner. Worst point:they were glow in the dark.

He sighed,collected his stuff from the counter and ran to his homeroom class. He barely made it. The teacher stared at him.

"JT,you were almost late."

"I know. Sorry"

She nodded,and went on with the ususal attendance and checkings.

JT turned around and saw Manny and Emma chatting their faces off.Again.

'Do they ever stop?' he grinned to himself.

"Class,there's one more announcement."thier teacher called out."We have a new student. She just moved here with her parents,from America."

Next to her stood a girl.She looked very shy.

"Her name is Taren Johnson." the teacher went on.'Taren,why don't you tell them a little about yourself?"

Taren looked embarrassed with all eyes on her. "Um...my name is Taren.I'm from Michigan.Uh... I...like to read and write and act. I love dancing...um..."

JT felt a little sorry for her.She was really shy,and seemed uncomfortable.

"Why don't you take a seat next to JT? It seems to be the only available seat.JT,raise your hand."

Jt rose his hand and watched as she walked to the desk next to him.She was slender, a good size.Her and Emma could probably swap clothes if they wanted to,except for pants.She was more Manny's height.She had light brown skin and thick wavy black hair that went just below her shoulders.

She sat down next to him,and stared at her desk,refusing to look up.

"Hey,what's up?" he whispered,"I'm JT."

She looked up at him with her deep brown eyes.She smiled shyly."Hi. I'm...well,you know already."

He laughed."Yeah."

The teacher started their lesson.It wasn't until the teacher called on Taren that he realized that he hadn't taken his eyes off her. He blushed and stared at his desk. But even then,she was starting to get infused into his mind.

Well,I hope you liked it. Can you please tell me what grade Manny,Emma and JT are in? And if you can tell me the teachers and what they teach,that'll help too.I don't think saying "the teacher" throughout the whole thing will work. R and R! Thanx!
