CHAPTER 17

Sean POV

I couldn't believe how excited I was getting about being a dad. Ellie was a few months along now, and I decided to pick baby names. I was looking through a book of baby names while Ellie popped a pizza into the microwave. She sat down next to me.

"What about David?" I asked.

"It's sweet." She replied.

"Yeah. Or what about Jack?" I asked.

"Sean, they're all great, but shouldn't you be looking at girl's names too?" she asked.

"I guess so. But I think it's going to be a boy.' I replied.

Ellie laughed and leaned her head on my shoulder. That was when it hit me. It COULD be a girl. But the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. I could coach her in soccer, watch her do ballet.... I looked in the Girl's section of the book.

"What about Lily?" I asked Ellie.

Craig POV

Kate and I were hanging out in her room. I was strumming on a guitar, while she was busy cramming for a test she forgot to study for. I was thinking about the night we hooked up. And I realized it wasn't her first time.

"Kate?" I asked.

"Yeah?"

"Who was that guy? You know, your old boyfriend?" I asked.

"Ben?" She asked, not looking up from her book.

"Yeah. He was your first, right?" I asked.

"Um... yeah, he was." She replied, distracted.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Craig, listen. Ben and I were very serious and intense, and people like that don't work out. We dated for two years, and it was very difficult for me when we broke up. That's all I'm going to say on that." Kate said.

"Okay, fine. But you and I are..." I replied.

"The most fun relationship I've been in." Kate said simply.

I backed away from the subject, but I was still curious. What had happened with Ben that made her not want to talk with me about it at all?

Manny POV

Spinner and I had a system. He would drive in front of my house every night at 6, honk once, I would quickly tell my mom that I was taking a walk, and hop into his car. We would then drive to a secluded spot and have hot sex for an hour. After he dropped me off at home, I would feel dirty, like I was living up to be the slut that everyone thought I was. Then the next day I would go back to Spinner, with every intention of stopping it. But it felt so good to be with him, to have him in me, even though it was wrong. Jimmy would call occasionally, but since the day he left, the calls were getting spaced farther and farther apart. I needed company and Spinner more than occupied me. Was it that wrong?

----------------------

Spinner POV

I felt like I was king of the world. Every night Manny and I would have sex in the back of my car. Manny was the hottest girl ever, and I had finally lost my virginity. Paige was never going to give it up, so I didn't really feel bad about our break-up. One night after we were done, Manny got off of me and turned away.

"Manny, Is something wrong? Was it not...good?" I asked.

"Spinner, it was great. But I can't do this anymore. Jimmy is going to find out, and I feel gross when I'm doing this." she said.

"Manny, I swear I'm not using you. Jimmy is never going to find out, and...." I trailed off.

"What/" she asked.

"I never feel gross when I'm in my car with you. I feel like a real guy, making love to the most beautiful girl at degrassi." I said.

Manny smiled lightly and kissed me. Perfect. Happy Manny means better sex for me.
