Chapter Two: Manny's My Cousin

Adrianna grabs her board from the guy. Suddenly,

"Why don't you watch where you're going genius!" she screamed.

"Whoa! Dude calm down!" he says.

"Calm down? CALM DOWN? You just snapped my board!" she managed to sputter before stomping out of the park. She hears someone trying to catch up with her. She screams at them,

"Go to hell!"

She realized it was Manny and she apologizes for screaming at her. She tells Adrianna it's okay and Adrianna starts complaining about that idiot.

"Spinner's like that," she replies. So the two decided go home. Manny went home to get some of her clothes and what not because she's sleeping over.

When Manny gets to Adrianna's house she pulls Degrassi's yearbook from last year. The two start flipping through the pages making comments on whom ever they pleased

"Who's that," she asked pointing to a boy

"Oh that's Jimmy Brooks. He's rich and he's the hottest guy in Degrassi," Manny answered

"Have you dated him?"

"Yeah right. Jimmy dates girls in his grade. He's more into like long lasting relationships"

"So what was the longest relationship he's been in?"

"A year. It would've lasted longer but she took ecstasy, humiliated him and his friends in front of everybody, tried to get him back, while she had a date on the side. He found out about the date and called her a slut. Then like a few months later she changed her look to Goth and changed her attitude and they went back out, then she dumped him because she thought he was changing her because he liked the old her. Then he went out with another girl who he's been friends with since grade eight then broke up with her in June because she tried to control him and it wasn't working out then went to basketball camp for the summer in LA"

"Wow he's been through a lot… kinda like me"

"He's really sweet. He's like the hottest, sweetest, most romantic guy in Degrassi"

"Really," she continued to stare at his picture then the two went to bed

The next day, being a Tuesday, Adrianna's parents were at work, so she, Manny, and Arianna are left at home. Manny explains, during breakfast, that there's a mall nearby. She says it's about a 15-minute walk, so the three of them decide to go. Adrianna goes downstairs to get ready. She was still feeling pissed about her board, she goes to her closet and picks out loose jeans that sit on her hips, a Happy Bunny tee that says "bite me", and black flip flops. The three of them walk to the mall taking their time; after all they've got all day. They get there after listening to 8-year-old Arianna complains forever. They went to HMV first, and then cover the rest of the mall. Adrianna finally finds a skate shop! West 49! She heads to the back of the store to check out the decks with Arianna, and Manny on her tail. She's holding a kick ass Element board when someone from behind her says,

"Element sucks, Dude. I'd go with that one," pointing up at the wall. She turns around and come face to face with Spinner

"Oh," she sighs, "It's you. Come to break someone else's board?" He raises an eyebrow and extends his hand.

"Call me Spinner. And you are?" he says smirking at her

"Adrianna. Call me Adi. Just moved here," she replies with the same stupid smirk not bothering to shake his hand.

Wow. I didn't get a good look at him before... He's actually kinda cute, she thought.

Just then some blonde girl comes sauntering up to the two.

"Hey Spin," she says as she kisses him on the cheek, "Who's this?" She looks Adrianna up and down like she was a threat.

"Adi." She replies in a flat tone with a straight face

"Oh my God! What is she doing here?" said Spinner to the blonde. The two are looking right at Manny and Arianna, who are looking at shoes.

"Who?" she asks out loud

"Oh, I'm Paige by the way," responds the blonde, "And he's talking about Manny." Adrianna was suddenly curious on what they had to say

"Do you know her?" asks Paige.

"Yea, I know Manny." Adrianna replies in a bitchy tone.

"You do?" Paige says looking up from her nails to Spinners who's checking out hoodies, "Did your boyfriend cheat on you with her?" Adrianna comes back at her,

"Actually, Manny's my cousin." Take that Bitch!
