CHAPTER 4 – DANCIN' YEAH!

"All right people let's file into the hall now," one of the counselors from another group commanded. A bunch of people gathered into the mini hall that was in the middle of the woods. Everybody was anticipating this dance and everybody knew that they had to have some fun tonight. As soon as the clock struck seven the music was pumpin' from the DJ booth. The first song of the night was: So Seductive, by Tony Yayo and 50 Cent. All of a sudden Manny with Emma by her side shows up in a red bandanna halter top, with a red thong that's showing, denim mini skirt and red high heels.

"Damn, this song fits her perfectly then, eh?" Jimmy commented as he was checking her out.

"Yeah, this makes Marco wanna become a straight dude." Sean teased.

"Oh shut up. Though she does look kind of good though." Marco chuckled and so did everybody else.

"See, I told ya." Sean added.

"Damn that girl is fine. Too bad she doesn't know it." Peter threw in.

"I think she does," Craig stated jokingly.

"And how do you know this?" Jimmy asked trying to get Craig a little nervous.

"Nothing, never mind." Craig blushed.

Meanwhile, Paige, Hazel and Alex were dancing when they saw Spinner come in and Alex started laughing seriously.

"What's up?" Paige whispered to Alex so Hazel couldn't hear just in case.

"Did you tell Spin yet?"

"Did I tell Spin what?"

"That you're a … you know lesbian." Alex stammered. By this point she had stopped laughing.

"No, I don't really want to tell him. I don't want to tell anybody. Besides I have my image to keep up."

"Don't start that shallow shit with me." Alex began. "Because I'm going to tell Jay and mostly everybody else that I'm a lez, so you will too. We'll do it at the same time for support. Okay?"

"Okay." Paige almost whispered to herself."

As the girls ended this conversation they realized that Hazel was gone and with a quick glimpse of the room they realized that Hazel was at the punch bowl talking to Spinner. Meanwhile, Marco went away from Craig, Jimmy, Peter and Sean to find Dylan. He spied Dylan dancing with Ellie, or at least what seemed like dancing.

"Hey guys," he began. "What's up?"

"Oh hey Marco." Ellie said giving him a hug. "I hope you're not jealous just because I was dancing with your man here." Everyone chuckled.

"Nope, I'm cool. So …"

"Not to cut you off Marco, but Elle, why's that boy with the frizzy afro staring at you. Who is that?" Dylan asked.

"You know Liberty, well I think that's her brother."

"Oh, well tell him to stop staring at you like that. It's creepy." Marco added.

"Okay." Ellie said as she walked toward Danny, Liberty's little brother, and her future stalker.

"Hi, umm … my friends were noticing that you kept staring at me and I don't know why?"

"Umm … sorry." He began to stammer. "Umm … well, I … would you like to dance with me?" He asked.

"No, thank you." Ellie turned on her heel. She didn't mean to be offensive or harsh, she was just creeped out at this point.

"So what happened?" Marco and Dylan asked in unison.

"He asked me to dance." Ellie said bitterly.

"Oh."

Ashley, Darcy and Heather were all siting by themselves at the far end of the dance floor. Ashley was looking for Craig. Oh, she found him alright, but she found him staring at Manny's nasty dancing habits. "Oh shit!" She thought to herself out loud.

"What?" Darcy asked.

"What?"

"Why were you cursing?" Darcy asked a little nervous.

"Oh, it's nothing." Ashley said convincingly.

Meanwhile, while Emma was dancing with Jay and Manny was trying to dance with Craig and Toby was with Kendra, J.T. was pretty bored here at camp, so he decided to head back to the cabin. He took out his cellphone, which he really wasn't supposed to bring and he called his mother.

"Hey mom." J.T. quivered.

"Hello, J.T. how's it going?"

"Umm … it's kind of boring actually."

"Well, why is it boring? Is something wrong?"

"No mom, it's just boring like nothing is really going on and we just keep talking about citizenship and being the future leaders of tomorrow." J.T. realized that he had to lie to his mother in order to get out of here. He hated this place since he felt like he was distant with his friends and his girlfriend.

"Well, honey I'm sorry you feel that way, but it seems like a good concept."

"Wait, but mom it really isn't they aren't doing anything except holding campfires in which we sit around talking about leadership skills. It's like a lecture hall here. It's so boring."

"Okay now I see. So what do you want me to do?"

"Pick me up!" J.T. practically shouted.

"Alright, I'll be there at around noon. Okay?"

"That's fine. Thanks mom."

"No problem, do I have to call the office or something and tell them that I'm coming to get you."

"I guess you should just in case."

"Do you know if I can get my money back?" J.T.'s mom joked. They both chuckled.

"I don't' know. Alrighty mom, I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow. I love you." Then she hung up.

J.T. changed into his pajamas and started packing his clothes. Then he fell asleep on his bed.

Back at the dance, Emma and Jay were grinding with each other and Amy saw this so she headed back to her cabin and muttered to herself, "I gotta get outta here."

While Amy was leaving the dance, Ashley was glaring at Manny and Craig still. Well, mostly at Manny. Ashley got up out of her seat and headed towards Craig and Manny.

"Hey, Craig." Ashley shouted above the music.

"Manny," Ashley said with distaste.

"Ashy, I mean Ashley." Manny teased. Ashley gave her the look of death.

"Okay, Craig I'm gonna go," Manny quivered. Manny, hated when Ashley did this to her. Everybody kind of left her alone and didn't talk about her and her actions from this school year, at least to her face.

"So Craig, how are you and the little slut?"

"Ash, don't start that shit."

"Okay I'm sorry." Ashley said in an ugly flirty tone.

Whatever." Craig officially creeped out by Ashley turned on his heel and headed towards Manny who was at the punch bowl talking with Toby and Kendra.

"So you haven't seen J.T." Manny asked Toby and Kendra.

"No, I don't know where he is. But he was talking with Toby and me and then he went somewhere." Kendra answered.

"Yup," Toby added.

"Hey Manny, I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Craig said approaching. Kendra gave Toby a look and they both departed to give Manny and Craig a little bit more privacy.

"So umm … do you want to get out of here?" Craig asked Manny.

"No, I don't think that's such a great idea. Remember what happened last time." Manny said adding an extra chuckle for some comfort.

"Man, I don't mean that, I just mean leaving the dance and talking. I promise nothing rated R."

"Okay, I guess." Manny chuckled along with Craig. So they left the dance together and Ashley was watching Craig and Manny leave the dance. At this point she was so pissed.

While all of this was going on Hazel and Spinner were still talking.

"Can you believe that Paige dumped our friendship for a friendship with that Alex chick. I can't believe it." Hazel said pretty heated.

"And can you believe that Paige decided to dump me for no reason." Spinner said angrily.

"No, I can't and I can't believe she's just over there having the time of her life while we're just cast over to the side at the stupid punch bowl.

"Well, let's make her jealous."

"Uh, excuse me Spin? … Like how would we do that?"

"Uh … duh, all we have to do is dance together. She's the evil bitch that likes to dispose of something, but doesn't want anybody else to have it. So this'll get her angry and then she'll want me back."

"Okay. And what's in it for me Spin?"

"Umm … your friendship."

"Whatever." So Hazel went with Spinner to the dance floor of where Alex and Paige were talking to Jimmy, Sean and Peter for the longest time. They started dancing and even though Paige was looking she didn't look liked she really cared. And after about two songs, Hazel and Spin realized this and decided to leave the dance together.

About and hour later the dance ended and there were hook ups and breakups, but most importantly gossip. A whole lot of it.

A/N: Okay, I'm sorry about this chapter I was trying to add some more stuff in here, but I had to get rid of some characters, because I realized that they didn't have like a real part in here, and I'm going through a writer's block and since I don't have cable and can't watch Degrassi, I'm browsing the internet for all the latest Degrassi Info. So far all I know is that Liberty is pregnant and Manny got drunk at Peter's party and she did a little nasty in front of Peter's camera. I also know that Peter is Ms. "Hotsauce's" son and I heard that Ms. H and Snake were caught kissing at the movies and Spike threw him out the house or something. And I heard that Mr. O came back and Paige got high at the college fair or something and she blew her chance to go to the business or management program that her momma's friend is in charge of. And I heard that she and Alex are like going out, or something or other. Yeah, but I need real facts on what's going on. THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS. I'm definitely trying to implement them into my story. Thanks for the encouragement. I know the "L" word chapter was a little risqué, but hey I try. So ideas are definitely wanted. Thanks.
