Chapter 2

Written By Degrassicutie1

Liberty is in the library, wiping her faces with tissues.

"Hey Liberty, what's wrong?" asked Chris.

"Nothing, just leave me alone," said Liberty.

"You're crying. What happened?" Chris insisted.

"Towerz broke up with me. I'm trying hard to get over it, but I can't. It hurts," said Liberty.

"Towerz is just a loser. How could anyone not like you?" asked Chris.

"Do you know who you're talking about Chris?" asked Liberty, surprised.

"Yes, I do. You're not all that bad-looking and you're one of the smartest girls at Degrassi!" said Chris, smiling.

"Did you forget? I have dyscalculia," said Liberty.

"Everybody has at least one flaw," said Chris, laughing.

"Yeah, and mine is the fact that I have no life. I wish I was like Emma," said Liberty.

"Are you sure about that?" asked Chris. "Emma isn't as great as you think she is."

"So then why did you date her?" asked Liberty.

"Because she was nice and sweet back then," said Chris.

"Yeah. You should see her now. She's so obsessed with her looks!" said Liberty.

They both laugh. Then they become silent.

"Well, uh, nice talking to you. Bye," said Liberty, leaving.

"See ya," said Chris.

At lunch time, Liberty told Manny everything.

"It was so weird. We were sort of having a moment," said Liberty.

"That is so cute!" said Manny.

"And he said that the only reason why he dated Emma was because she was much nicer back then," said Liberty.

"She won't be so nice if she finds out that I like him," said Manny, worried.

"She'll probably protest it or something!"

Liberty and Manny are laughing hysterically when Emma joins them.

"What's so funny?" asked Emma.

"Nothing," Manny and Liberty replied at the same time.

Meanwhile, Ashley, Paige, Ellie, Spinner and Marco were eating lunch together.

"So how was your first day?" asked Marco.

"It was pretty good! I'm just not looking forward to homework and tests. Only one more year in this school!" said Paige.

"Yeah. But the first order of business is to pass English this year," said Spinner.

Paige and Marco laugh.

"Ash, are you okay?" asked Ellie.

"Yes. I'm fine. Stop asking," replied Ashley, nastily.

"Whoa hun, you're taking things too far!" said Paige, concerned.

"Give Ash a break. Last year sucked. She's still mad. Leave her be," said Spinner.

"Thanks Spin," said Ashley.

Ashley and Spinner smile at each other for a moment and only Marco and Ellie notice it. Paige is so clueless to what's right in front of her.

"I...uh...need to go to the wash room. Be right back!" said Ashley, hurrying away.

"Me too!" said Ellie.

"Ash, what just happened?" asked Ellie.

"Nothing happened, okay?" replied Ashley.

"I saw it. Marco saw it. And you know it," said Ellie.

"What are you talking about?" asked Ashley, pretending to be confused.

"You and Spin...you were smiling as though...

"Please Ellie! Don't even say it! I do NOT like Spinner Mason! I treated him like garbage last year and I'm just making it up to him, okay?" said Ashley, hoping she would buy it.

"I guess that makes some sense. I'll see you in class," said Ellie.

As Ellie was leaving, Ashley sighed in relief.

I don't know what is going on, but it certainly isn't with Spinner Mason, thought Ashley.
