"Jay, Spin, why are you doing this?" Jimmy asked quietly, keeping his hands up in the air. He didn't want to push them any further than they had already been pushed.
"Why, Jimmy?" Spinner asked. "You wanna know why? Because you ratted us out. You told the principal, and got us expelled. And if it hadn't been for Jay's precious little sister telling you to do it, we wouldn't be in this situation now, would we?"
"Spin, you're not like this," Jimmy said calmly. "Let us help you. Jay's not your real friend. The last time you thought of him as your friend, Rick went on a rampage, and shot me and killed himself. Let me help you, and you can walk away from all of this right now, no hard feelings."
"The hell there isn't, Spinner!" Jay shouted. "Shoot him now!"
Spinner closed his eyes. "I'm sorry, man," he whispered, and pulled the trigger.
All of Degrassi went silent as a gunshot and a scream pierced the air.

"Spin, you're really not like this," Jimmy said calmly. "Let us help you. Jay isn't your real friend; the only reason he's with you now is because he wants revenge on Krys's mom for making their dad leave him and his mom. There's nothing to hurt us for, man. You can put the gun away now, get outta here, and you won't have to worry about anything else from now on. No hard feelings."
"The hell there isn't, Spinner!" Jay shouted. "Shoot that bitch now, and send them both to Kingdom Come!"
Closing his eyes, Spinner aimed his gun at his best friend. Jimmy kept his hands up and closed his eyes. Krys felt ready to give her life for Jimmy. I care too much for him to just let him die! she thought in her mind.
After a few tense moments, Spinner put his hand down and sighed. "Jay, I'm sorry man, but I can't do it. I just can't. He's my best friend."
"You're a fuckin' pussy, Spinner!" Jay shouted, pushing him out of the way. "I'll do this shit myself!"
"JAY NO!" Spinner screamed, throwing himself in front of the blast.
All of Degrassi went silent as gunshots and a scream pierced the air.

When Krys opened her eyes, she saw white lights. Where...where am I? she asked herself. "Jimmy?" she asked quickly, sitting up in the bed, looking around.
"Calm down, Krys, I'm here," came Jimmy's voice somewhere off to her left. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I just remember...glass flying everywhere. What happened?"
"Spinner put himself in front of the blast before it caught us. Before he fell, he made sure he shot Jay."
Krys's eyes got wide at the thought of Spinner being shot. "Is...is he...?"
"He's in ICU right now," he said brokenly, on the verge of tears. "And Jay...Jay's dead."
"At least the nightmare's over," she whispered, flopping back onto her pillows. "All this time... he was my brother...I can't believe it..."
"You don't have to now, because you don't have to worry about seeing his face anymore."
"Off topic, how long until graduation? I've had my fill of school daze."
"Three weeks. Just enough time for us to head there now and get to the MVP banquet thing."
They grinned at each other, then their lips met for the first time...as boyfriend and girlfriend.
The End
