PRESENT
Jay Hogart made his way to class- something her rarely did. But this year was different. After being expelled last year, he had time to contemplate, not complicate, things. He reflected on whether stopping Spinner from burning down the school was a good or bad thing. After all, he did hate the hell-hole halls of Degrassi, yet he found himself in an actual classroom, not just woodshop. He thought about Emma, and what she thought of him since their party in the Ravine. He wanted to know if she would forgive him if he approached her. He remembered all the times he stole, and remembered Sean. Sean was Jay's buddy. He hadn't seen him since the shooting. Jay felt partially responsible for Sean packing up and running to the 'rents. Besides, it was him and Spinner who dumped the paint and let the feathers fly.
Jay wanted to know what Sean was up to. Later that day, Jay got into his car and drove to Wasega. He passed by Emma's house, but no one was there. He wanted to bring her along for the trip. But then, he thought, 'She'd never get into another car with,' he pushed his hair to the side, slipped on his shades, and put his foot on the gas making a screeching noise as he left Emma's place.
FLASHBACK
"Come on, where are you going? We had fun, didn't we?" Jay asked.
"Jay, I don't do relationships. Thanks for the coke, the beer, the oral sex- it was good and all, but I don't stay with guys longer than once night… I'm in favor for one-night-stands," said the brunette in major hangover, "sorry."
Jay lay down on the ground, beer bottle in his hand.
I don't want to waste my time
become another casualty of society.
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down.
