DISCLAIMER: I own nothing except Krys in this chapter. Sierra owns herself, and the Degrassi cast own themselves.
NOTE: This song, "The Real You" is one of the Degrassi songs used on the show. I don't own this either.
Krys wrapped her arms around Jimmy's neck, Jimmy wrapped his arms around her waist, and they began to dance to the song. She stared up into his brown eyes, and felt totally content and at ease with the world. This is definitely the best night of my life, she thought, wanting nothing more than to become his girlfriend for the rest of their school days, and maybe afterwards.
When the song ended, the two were still looking into each other's eyes, not knowing what to do next. "Okay, you guys, one more song, then we're done for the night!" the DJ called out. "And that privilege for the last song goes to the girl group Paige Michalchuk and the Sexkittens!"
"That's you," Jimmy whispered to her, holding her hands. "Give the greatest show you can."
"I will, but only for you." He smiled at her, and she let him go and ran up onto the stage, grabbing her electric guitar.
She walked up to the stage, then grabbed Paige's hand. "I was wondering if I could sing the song tonight?" she asked. "I know the words, and I can sing while playing my guitar too."
"You're doing this for Jimmy, aren't you?" Paige asked. Seeing Krys's shocked look, she then shot a quick look out to Jimmy in the crowd, then smiled. "Go ahead. I'm not going to be this nice all the time, so don't get used to it."
"Thanks, Paige!"
"Just do our song some honor, k?"
Krys smiled back at her. "You know it." She then turned and faced the mike and the sea of faces that awaited their song. "We're gonna do things a little differently tonight," she said. "For one, we agreed that tonight, Paige won't be singing, I will. And two, this song goes out to a special guy in my life, my very best friend, Jimmy Brooks."
The light shone on Jimmy, and the crowd applauded as he smiled back at her, giving her the thumbs up. Krys then strummed on her guitar, and began to sing.
You're brave but you
can't see it
you're strong but you
can't be it
you're loving but you
can't do it
but all I know is what
I see
you're nice but you
can't prove it
but if you're not you
will lose it
you're great but you
can't do it
but all I know is what
you might be
I know you
the real you
I know you
the real you
The lights dimmed, and Sierra began to play the drums, going along with the beat Ashley was playing to. Paige sang backup, and Krys felt the crowd beginning to move as the lyrics consumed them.
If you're smart then
you should know it
if you want then you
should show it
if you can't then why
do you bother
but all I see is me in
me
I know you
the real you
I know you
the real you
You're brave but you
can't see it
you're strong but you
can't be it
'cause the real you is
hard to find
all you have to do is
use your mind
'cause the real you
'cause the real you
'cause the real you
'cause the real you
I know you
the real you
I know you
the real you
As the girls sang, the crowd became more into it. All Krys was worried about was whether or not Jimmy was into it. Or into her.
As much as she was into him. I know the real you, Jimmy, she thought. As much as you know the real me.
I know you
the real you
I know you
the real you
I know you
the real you
I know you
the real you
The real you
the real you
the real you
the real you
the real you

"That was awesome!" Jimmy said once the applause died down. "I've never heard you sing before. It was great."
"Thanks," she said quietly. "Can we get outta here? I'm frying."
"No prob." The two walked out of the gym and into the halls toward the school exit. As they neared the school doors, they heard a click.
"One more move and it's all over," came Jay's voice. The two turned around to see him and Spinner standing where they had just came from.
"What the hell, Jay?" Jimmy asked as they put their hands up. "Why are you doing this?"
"Because, I want to get the chance to know my little sister before I kill her."
"SISTER?"
