Disclaimer:I don't own Degrassi,or the characters.(BOO!)

CHAPTER 1 (continued)

After class let out, JT rushed to his locker, keeping his face cast downward so nobody would see how red he was. He stuck his head in his locker,and let out a heavy breath.

"Hi,JT" a voice scared him.He jumped...and banged his head on his orange locker.

"OWWW!" he yelled.

He looked.There stood Manny,and Emma.

"What are you doing?" Emma raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing."he muttered.

After grabbing his money, he slammed the locker door shut and walked with the two girls to the cafeteria.Amazing, he thought,I can get girls as friends,but no as girlfriends. He sighed.

"Don't worry,JT.You'll find the right girl eventually."Emma smiled warmly.It was like she could read his mind.But the true fact was that she,Manny and JT were becoming better friends every day.

"Yeah."Manny nudged him,"besides..I saw the way you were looking at Taren."

He blushed again.Manny continued,"You find her attractive,don't you?"

He sighed.There was no use in denying it.When it came to relationships,those two were like bloodhounds.They could always sniff out a lie,the truth,and when someone held feelings for someone else.

"Why don't you just assume?"he shook his head,"You're always right about this stuff anyway."

They squealed at his confession as they sat down at the table.

"Speaking of which..."Emma nodded off in the direction of the doors. Taren had just walked into the cafeteria,and once again looked very timid.

"Taren!Over here!" Manny waved her arms.Emma joined in. Taren looked around.Instantly,she brightened as she saw them.

"I'm guessing you guys know each other." he sarcastacally rolled his eyes.

Manny returned the eye roll."Duh."

"Besides,"Emma smirked,"you might as well get to know her.She's very nice."

"Hi,guys. " Taren smiled. She looked at JT."Hey,JT,what's up?" she plopped down next to him.

Emma and Manny excused themselves to go buy their lunch,leaving JT and Taren alone.

JT sighed inwardly. One day,those two chicks were going to be his undoing.

ok,now things will get back to normal.Here's ch 2.

CHAPTER 2

Taren walked through the now empty hallways of Degrassi.She felt a little better now that her first day was over.She smiled to herself,thinking of the friends she had made.Manny,Emma,and JT. JT was even kind of cute.Who am I kidding?JT is HOT! But she knew she couldn't let him know that she liked him. She'd just met him and known him only for a few hours. She sighed.She needed to take it slow.

As she walked home,she saw a small cafe place. She took a chance and walked in,sitting at one of the little tables. Within minutes,a guy walked up to her,waring a black shirt,and jeans,and a white apron.

"Can I take your order?"

"Can I please just have a burger?" she smiled.

He nodded."One burger coming right up."He started to walk away,then stopped himself,looking at her again.

She winced.Had she offended him>What was wrong?His next words gave her a flush of relief:

"Hey,aren't you that new girl at Dagrassi?"

She nodded."Taren."

He nodded again."The name's Spinner. What's up?"

"Relief."she sighed. She heard him chuckle."Don't worry.Nobody bites. They may scratch,hit and punch,but they don't bite."he joked.

She had to laugh at that as she imagined all the students attacking each other.Funny stuff.'After ten minutes,he retuned with her burger,and she paid him.As she walked out the door with her burger,Spinner called after her.

"If anyone tries to mess with you,you let me know,ok?" he grinned.

She returned the smile."Sure.Just remember,no biting."

He laughed,and she walked out the door.

As she reached home,she smiled. She felt more welcome than she had in her whole life. Another wave of relief came over her.She knew that she'd do fine.

I hope you like it! Oh and if you can help me come up with a story title,I'd be sooo grateful.C ya!
