Summary: Jimmy's afraid of hooking up with Ellie, after what happened with Hazel. But, as time goes on both start getting less and less patient. Will they finally cave in? SPOLIERS! Jellie!

Author's Note: This is going to be a reaaly short fic, only 2 or 3 chapters! I just wanted to develop Ellie and Jimmy's relationship a tad more… Enjoy and PLEASE let me know whatcha think!

Chapter One- Attractions

He's wonderful

so why can't I just ask him out already?

Hazel gave me a glare.

That's why…I hate her. She should just let go of Jimmy already.

She then gave Jimmy a meaner glare. Jimmy rolled his eyes and continued typing on the computer in front of him.

Oh yeah, they went out…right. I should stop being so selfish…but I can't help it. I just like him so much…

"Ellie?" Jimmy asked me. My heart skipped a beat.

"Yeah?" I said, almost too quick.

"I can't believe her." Jimmy replied, looking at Hazel.

"Don't worry about Hazel, she's just selfish. And a snot." I said, laughing. He smiled a little.

"So Ellie…" Jimmy replied, obviously changing the subject. "I drew this yesterday." he said, handing me the paper.

It was a picture of Degrassi's main entrance, with me standing in front of the main doors. How sweet…

"Thanks Jimmy! This is incredible…just like all your work." I said.

"No problem. I just can't believe how much art has really helped me…you know, untangle the massive web in my head." Jimmy replied.

"That's what art's all about, really. I'm glad you like it." I said.

"Ellie, Jimmy…class time is my time." Mr. Simpson said. I gave Jimmy a half-smile and continued working.

After School, at the Dot…

I sat at a table and sketched. I'd been working on a drawing I was making for Jimmy. I know I shouldn't…but I can't help it.

Marco came in and sat on the empty chair besides me.

"Hey El, drawing again?" Marco asked.

"Yeah…for Jimmy." I said.

"You guys should just go out already! It's obvious you like him." Marco said.

Yeah…we really should…but is Jimmy ready?

"I know, but Jimmy just broke up with Hazel you know." I replied, although I didn't care one bit about Hazel.

"So? You two are obviously into each other. What's there to lose?" Marco replied.

You know he's right. Just ask him out Ellie! There's nothing to lose…

At School the Next Day:

I leant against my locker, sipping coffee and thinking about yesterday. You can do it Ellie…

"Ell, hey!" Jimmy said. He went up to my locker.

"Hey Jimmy…I finished that drawing." I replied, handing him the drawing.

"Cool. You didn't need to do this you know." Jimmy said.

"I wanted to…you know, for you." I said. So close!

"Ellie, I wanted to ask you something." Jimmy said. Or maybe I don't have to…

"What?" I replied, nervous about what he might say.

"Want to go to the Dot later or something?" Jimmy asked. I smiled. YES!

"Of course!" I said, happy. Jimmy smiled and I knew I had to do something.

"I'll see you later." I said, kissing his cheek.

I can't believe that just happened. Me, Ellie Nash, acting like a little 8th grader getting asked out on her first date…how pathetic. But I was happy. Really happy.

I'm only going to do another chapter or so, but I hope you enjoyed this one! What will happen on their "date"? And will Hazel get involved?
