Monday morning Manny woke up to the beeping sound of her alarm clock going off. She immediately got out of bed and started to get ready for school. Manny was anxious to get to school today. She was looking forward to seeing Jimmy. She missed him, and besides today was their first day at Degrassi as a couple. Manny was excited to see how everyone is going to react when they see them together, she was especially looking forward to seeing Craig's reaction. She knew he was going to be jealous.
After Manny finished getting ready she quickly left for school. As Manny reached the steps of Degrassi she quickly spotted Jimmy in the crowd of kids scattered everywhere.
"Hey Jimmy"
"Hey Manny, I missed you." Jimmy replied wrapping his arms around Manny giving her a big tight hug.
"I missed you too."
"Well you wanna go inside, I don't want you to be late for class."
"Yeah" Manny replied with a big smile on her face.
The two of them walked into the doors of Degrassi hand in hand.
(Meanwhile)
Ellie and Ashley are walking in the hall headed towards their lockers.
"So Ellie you must of been pretty busy this weekend huh" I tried calling you to see if you wanted to hang out but you didn't anserw."
"Um...Yeah I was sick this weekend, I just stayed at home sleeping."
Ellie felt terrible for lying straight to her best friends face. She had been avoiding talking to Ashley all weekend, She was suffering from a guilt trip. All weekend she had been contemplating whether or not she should just confess to Ashley about what's been going on between her and Craig. But, Ellie did'nt want to lose her best friend.
"Oh well. I hope your feeling better."
"Yeah I am. So how was your weekend?"
"Ok I guess. Nothing too exciting happend.It seems like everyone was busy this weekend,Even Craig."
"Sounds fun." Ellie replied sarcastically.
Ellie and Ashley reached Ashley's locker.
"Yeah me and Craig are not really doing so well right now. He has been acting very diffrent lately, like he's hiding something from me, and every time I ask him whats wrong with him or ask him why is he acting this way, he gets bad at me, like Im the one doing something wrong."
"That's not good." Ellie replied.
Ellie glanced over and saw Craig headed in their direction.
"Well I have to go."
"By El"
Jimmy bent down and gave manny a quick soft kiss on the lips.
"So I'll see you at Lunch?" Jimmy asked Smiling at Manny.
"Definantly"
"Okay bye Manny."
"Bye"
Jimmy left headed for his first period class.
A few seconds later the bell rang and all the kids left in the halls hurried off to class.
As Jimmy was about to reach his first period class he heard someone calling his name,He turned around and saw Craig behind him.
"Hey Man what's up?" Jimmy said stopping to talk to his friend.
"Hey Jimmy,So where were you all weekend,you must of been pretty busy."
"Yeah actually I was." Jimmy replied with a big grin on his face.
"Really? What happened Man?" Craig exclaimed.
"Guess who got some this weekend?"
""No way who?"
"Manny Santos"
Craig could'nt believe what Jimmy was telling him. he did'nt even know how to respond.
"oh really."
"Yeah and it was good too."
"Thats cool man."
"Thats all you have to say.Your jealous huh?"
"No. why would I be?'
"Well Ashley probably aint giving you any."Jimmy joked.
"Man whatever,so are you and Manny together now?"
"Yeah actually we are."
"Thats great man." Craig lyed
The two boys finally ended their conversation and headed for class. Meanwhile-In Mr.Simpson's Class
"Wow Manny it seems like you got yourself a great guy."
"Yeah I do. I like him a lot. He's so sweet,and nice,and cute. he's everything that I ever wanted."
"Thats good. He's way better that Craig."
"Yeah he is."
"Manny,Emma Less talking and more working." Mr. Simpson said interupting the two girls conversation.
The two girls giggled and started working on their projects.
After 5th period Manny was at her locker getting her books for he next class.
"Hey Manny."
Manny turned around to see Craig Manning standing right behind her.
"What do you want." she replied while grabbing a book from her locker.
"I heard about you and Jimmy."
"and? is that a problem,because last time I checked I was'nt your girlfriend." Manny replied giving Craig a dirty look.
"No I don't have a problem,but damn you'll put out to anyone huh?"
"What the hell are you trying to say!" Manny yelled.
"Basically what Im saying is that Your a easy hoe."
Craig replied,and with that he turned around and walked away,leaving Manny in tears.
setting:Mr. Armstrongs class.
Craig's POV.
(Craig's thoughts)
I don't even know why I said those awful things to her.I did'nt me to intentionally hurt her. I guess, I thought that Making her feel bad, would make me feel better about this whole situation.But it only made me feel worse.I have no idea why im even feeling like this towards her,I never had any real feelings for her. It was just sex. and thats all. I keep trying to quit thinking about her and just focus on my relationship with Ashley, but its hard.Lately she's all I've been thinking about, ecpecially after I found out about her and Jimmy. But, Im going to have to put what me and her had in the past and move on because I already lost her. She's with Jimmy now, and besides I have Ash.
"Hey Craig!" I looked up and saw Ashley smiling at me.
"Hey Ash."
"Whats the Matter Craig?"
"Nothing, Nothing at all."
"Well I came over here to ask you if you wanna hang out tonight?"
"Um...I.."
" oh okay, I see how it is, you never have time for me anymore." she quickly replied before I could finish.
"Look Ashley, I know lately i've been pretty busy,and Im sorry.But I was going to say that we can hang out later on tonight."
Ashley got a big smile on her face.
Mrs.Kerwin get back to your seat,and get back to work." Mr.Armstrong said interupting us.
"Okay Craig, Pick me up at 7."
"I will."
Manny's POV
I was sitting in my last period class, waiting anxiously for the bell to ring. I couldn't wait to get out of school because me and Jimmy had made plans to meet up at the Dot.. I couldn't wait to see that boy. I needed to give him a piece of my mind, and talk to him about us, and how he can't be going around telling everyone our business.
As soon as the bell rang I hurried out of the class, stopped at my locker, and headed to the dot. A few minutes later Jimmy walked in and headed in my direction with a big smile on his face.
"Hey" he said while sitting down at the table.
I just ignored him and gave him a cold hard stare.
"What's wrong Manny?"
"Who the hell do you think you are going around and telling people our business!" I yelled at him.
"What are you talking about."
"Oh okay, so now it's okay for you to lie to me too!"
Jimmy was confused he didn't know how to respond ,then he remembered the conversation he had with Craig earlier that day.
"Oh I know what Your talking about now."
"Look, What happens between us, stays between us got it?" I said in a demanding voice.
"Okay calm down, I only told one friend. and Im sorry." Jimmy sweetly replied
"Alright whatever." I said looking away from him.
"Manny, I don't want you to be mad at me."
"Im not mad at you, Im just disappointed."
"Look Manny, I promise you that I will never do it again."
"Okay." I said smiling at him.
Manny's POV
After me and Jimmy left the dot, we went back to his place.
"Good no one's home." Jimmy said as soon as we walked in the door.
I followed Jimmy into his bedroom,and sat down on the bed,while he was at his dresser searching for something in the drawer.
"Guess what I have Manny."
I looked over at Jimmy, and in his hands he had a small bag of weed and a blunt.
"Wanna smoke?"
I made a promise to myself that I would never smoke it again. But I remember how great it had made me feel. I coul'dnt resist. Besides, doing it just this one time won't hurt right?
"Um...sure."
Jimmy quickly rolled the blunt and we started smoking it.
(meanwhile)
Ashley's POV
I had just got done with the finishing touches of my make up when I heard the doorbell ring.I took one last glance in the Mirror and went off to anserw the door.
"Hey Craig."
"wow Ash you look great."
"Thanks, so where are you planning on taking me?"
"You can choose,we can do whatever you want."
"Hmmm... How about we go see a movie?"
"sounds good to me."
"Okay, lets get going."
(at Jimmy's house.)
"God I love this feeling." Manny said after she took a hit off the blunt.
"Feelin' good huh?"
Manny smiled and passed the blunt to Jimmy.
Jimmy and Manny continued to smoke the blunt,until it was gone.
"Im soo high." Manny said giggling
Jimmy smiled "yeah me too,want anything to eat?"
"yes, please.I have the munchies really bad."
Jimmy left the room and quickly came back with a package of cookies,chips,and some other things. (Meanwhile)
Emma is sitting in her room doing her homework,when her cell phone rings.
"Hello"
"Hey Emma."
"Oh hey sean."
"Whats' up?"
"Nothing.Just doing my homework ."
"well what are you up to tonight?"
"Nothing really,Manny is just suppose to come over here in a little while."
"Oh really,well I was gonna see if you wanted to the mall or something but I see you and Manny already have plans."
"Yeah,Im sorry.I really do wanna see you,it's just I don't wanna ditch Manny."
"I understand."
"Are you sure?"
"yeah,completely,I'll find something else to do,I'll probably go hang out with Jay."
"You still hang around with that Loser."
"He's not that bad Emma."
"Yeah whatever,Look I have to go.I'll talk to you tomorrow later okay?"
"Yeah bye Emma."
"Bye." Emma quickly hung up the phone and flopped down on her bed.Emma was feeling kind of sad that she said No to hanging out with Sean,but she could'nt just ditch Manny to be with him.That's not the kind of person she was.
(Meanwhile)
"wow that Movie was great!" Ashley exclaimed as Craig and her were walking out of the Movie theater.
Craig smiled "yeah it was pretty good."
"But you know what's even better than the Movie?"
"Um...I dunno what?"
As the couple reached the doors exiting them out of the movie theater,Ashley stopped off to the side and pulled Craig toward her."Being with you,your such a great boyfriend and Im soo happy that I have you."
Craig looked into Ashley's eyes,and forced a smile on his face,But deep inside he wasnt smiling,though he was feeling terrible for everything that he had ever done to her."If only she really knew who I am,she would'nt like me at all,I don't deserve her." Craig thought to himself.Ashley leaned in to kiss Craig,but Craig pulled away.
"What's wrong?" Ashley asked
"Ashley,You deserve better than me."
Ashley had a confused look on her face."What are you talking about Craig?"
"The way I've been treating you lately,I have'nt been spending any time with you and I havent been a very good boyfriend lately...and I...
"I know Craig,you and the band have been busy practicing and everything,and it's okay,I understand.But Im happy that you took time out from that to be with me today.I really appreciate that." Ashley said cutting off Craig.
"But Ashley,it's not okay...I need to..." Craig began but Ashley cut him off again.
"Craig,Everything is fine.I care about you soo much and I love you."
"I love you too Ash." Craig said wrapping his arms around Ashley giving her a tight hug.
Craig wanted to tell Ashley about everything that he had done to her,But after she told him how much he ment to her,he then realized how much she ment to him.He was scared that if he did confess he would lose her forever,and he would'nt be able to see her reaction if he did tell her.He would'nt be able to stand seeing her in that much pain but yet,he could'nt live with what he was hiding from her anymore.
-At Jimmy's House-
Jimmy and Manny were in Jimmy's bed Making out.A few Minutes later Manny glanced at the clock."Damn I have to go!" Manny exclaimed as she pushed Jimmy off her and got up.
"C'mon babygirl,why do you have to leave already,we were just getting started." Jimmy said with a look of sadness in his eyes
"I was suppose to hang out with Emma."
"Manny,c'mom please stay for a little while.I really wanna spend time with you,and besides your too high to go anywhere Emma might find out."
"That's true.I guess I'll stay."
Manny went back to where Jimmy was sitting on the bed and got on top of him,and started kissing him.
"I love you." Jimmy whispered in her ear.
Manny was taken aback.She did'nt know what to say.Because she did'nt know exactly how she felt about him.so she just acted as if she did'nt even hear what he had said and just countinued kissing him.
The next day at school Emma was at her locker getting her books.
"Hey Emma oh my god I have soo much to tell you!" Manny exclaimed walking up to her bestfriend.
"What do you want Manny." Emma said turning around to face Manny.
"Emma why are you acting like this?"
"Where were you last night?"
"Oh Emma,Im soo sorry." Manny replied sympathetically.
"Whatever." Emma started to walk away.
"Emma c'mon,Im sorry I blew you off." manny shouted as she followed Emma down the hall.
Emma just continued to walk away ignoring Manny. Meanwhile in another Hallway.
Ellie,Ashley and paige are all talking to eachother.
"So hun,tell me about your date you went on last night." Paige said to Ashley
Ashley got a huge smile on her face." It was great.we went to the movies,and it was soo fun.Im soo happy that im with him."
"Wow thats great Ash,I wish spin would take me out more often."
Ellie sat there quietly Listening to the two girls talk. In a way Ellie felt jealous towards the relationship that Ashley and Craig had. Ellie liked Craig,but she knew that she could never have him.He was her bestfriends boyfriend,and besides that she knew that Craig did'nt even care about her.He just wanted her around for one reason and that was for sex,even though the two of them never really had sex,they came pretty close to it.Despite the feelings Ellie had for Craig Ellie felt horrible for betraying her bestfriend,she really did.She Cryed herself to sleep everynight since her and Craig had first hooked up.She knew what she was doing was wrong,but yet something so wrong had never felt so right.Ellie knew that sooner or later she was going to have to tell her bestfriend about what went on between her and Craig.
