CHAPTER 18-Too far

Kate POV

All of the sudden, Craig was dying to find out about my past. He would find little ways to bring up my ex, Ben into our conversations. Maybe I should go back and explain myself. I met Ben in 9th grade, and we dated for two years. Ben was a great guy, he truly knew me, even though he was a year older than I was. We were deeply in love, I had given up everything for our relationship. My virginity, for one. After my parents discovered that Ben and I were having sex, they freaked out and forced us to break up. We still saw each other, and we even planned to marry when we were older. But after a few months, my dad got a fabulous job opportunity and we moved I hated to leave Ben, but I had to move on. After a summer of being lonely, I decided to make a fresh start at Degrassi. That was when I met Craig. I couldn't bear to talk about Ben. Especially with Craig.

Jimmy POV

I was terribly lonely at my new school. I really wished I was back home. I had called Manny at the beginning, but everytime I called her, I imagined myself at Degrassi, with my arm around Manny and laughing with Spinner. Whenever I heard her voice, I felt like my heart was breaking in two. So I decided to call Spinner instead.

"Hey Spinner." I said.

"Jimmy, hey. What's up?" Spinner asked.

"Nothing. How's Manny? How are you and Paige?" I asked.

"Whoa, Jimmy, calm down. Manny's...um, good and Paige dumped me." He replied.

"Sorry." I said.

"Don't feel to bad for me. I'm scoring with this girl every night." Spinner said.

"SCORING scoring?" I asked.

"Yep." He replied.

"Wow. Who is it?" I asked.

"Um...no one." He replied.

"Okay...so do you love her?" I asked.

"Man, we are not even official or anything." He said.

Spinner hung up soon after that. I couldn't believe it. Everyone was changing without me. But my basketball career was here. Was that more important?

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

Manny POV

I was walking down the hall when a strong arm pulled me into an empty classroom. Spinner quickly kissed me and started lifting up my shirt.

"Spinner! Stop. We can't do this at school." I said, giggling.

"God, I don't think I can wait for another second." Spinner said.

"Okay. Your car at lunch." I replied.

I slipped out of the room. I loved Jimmy, but Spinner made me feel so good. I guess it just feels good to be bad.

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

Craig POV

It was like I opened a can of worms. Kate was so mysterious about Ben, that I felt something huge happened that she wouldn't tell me. I was plagued with questions about him. Most of all, was he better than me? I decided to confront her. I sat next to her at lunch.

"Why won't you tell me about Ben?" I asked her.

"Craig, why can't you just be accepting about it?" she asked.

"I just... feel like he was the one, or something." I said.

"No, he wasn't. I'm much happier with you." She replied.

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too." She said.

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

Emma POV

I was scouring the parking lot, looking for trash as a clean-up project. I was approaching a red car when I saw that there were people in the backseat, wriggling around. Gross. As I got closer, I realized who it was. Manny and Spinner. I was suddenly filled with anger. Manny really was a slut. I needed to stop her before she ruined her life. I went over and knocked on the car window. Manny, looking petrified, stepped out.

"What are you doing?" she yelled.

"I'm helping you! What do you think you're doing?" I screamed at her.

"What I do in cars is none of your business Emma!" she said.

"Well I'm making it my business. Anybody who was around could have seen." I replied.

Spinner got out of the car and went behind Manny.

"Emma, you can't tell anyone about this." He said.

I looked angrily at Manny.

"Let's go, Manny. I'm not letting you ruin your life again.' I said.

"You know what Emma? I don't think so. Save the orders for your daughter. If you can ever get one. As I recall no guy has ever invited YOU into his car." Manny said.

I let my jaw drop in my shock. Manny whipped around and got back in the car. I couldn't believe it. Manny had gone too far, even farther than last time.
