Chapter 6: Whip It

"Thanks man." Craig handed Jimmy a bag of chips. "I'm so psyched in a few hours we'll be on our way to the Hampton's, sun, stars and beautiful women although I will only look but won't touch. I have a beautiful woman right here at home but still I can look but you my man are a free to do what you want well at least I think you are, has Ash spoke to you anytime this summer?" Jimmy asked Craig who seemed to be in his own little world. "Earth to Craig."

"Huh, oh yeah I can't wait to go to the Hampton's either." Craig replied.

"Ummm..Ok. Craig you're sure you're up to driving the whole way their it is ten hours."

"Yeah man, I want to get there as soon a possible, I won't stop until we're there." Craig stared out the window at the garage.

"Man that car isn't going anywhere, I swear your almost as bad as Spinner was when he had a.." Jimmy paused.

"Wow, I haven't heard you say anything nice about Spinner in a while."

"Yeah and that's the last time you'll hear it." Jimmy went to the front door.

"Hey where are you going?" Craig followed him.

"I'm going outside to get some fresh air it's kind of stuffy in here."

"Umm.. how about I open a window, it's a pretty cool night."

"Exactly, that's why I'm going outside," Jimmy stared at Craig. "You act like you have something to hide." Jimmy grabbed the front door knob so he could open it.

Craig ran to the front door and stopped Jimmy from opening it. "Uhh, no why would you say that?"

"Uhh, maybe because your standing in front of the door. Look man were friends if you're planning on keeping secrets from me then don't, that's the best way to ruin a friendship."

"OK I have something I have to tell you," Craig opened the front door. "You promise you won't get mad?"

"It all depends, you did get your passport because I'm too young to go to jail for smuggling Canadian immigrants across the border." Jimmy joked.

"I'm serious."

"OK man what is it?"

"Maybe it's better if I show you." Craig opened the front door and walked to the garage. "Now don't freak out or anything," Craig warned Jimmy before opening the garage door.

"You want to show me the car," Jimmy chuckled. "Man, I already seen it."

"No, not the car," Craig walked around the garage and screamed "You can come out now, it's cool."

"Craig, are you feeling alright, maybe we should wait till Tuesday to drive."

"I'm fine, it's just," Craig searched the garage top to bottom. "It's OK, Jimmy knows the truth now."

"What truth?"

"You didn't believe Joey gave me a brand nice car,it was a mess when I got it, he had to do it, I just know he did."

"Who?"

"Me." Sean walked into the garage.

"This facial is soooo relaxing." Paige moaned.

"Yeah it is." Hazel agreed.

"OK girls I'm going to rinse this off and then you can go to the Simplicity Room for your massage."

"OK that sounds good." Paige replied before the Spa attendant poured warm water over her face.

"All done," The attendant confirmed. "Let's get you girls ready for your massage."

A tall blond walked into the room and whispered into the attendant ear."Thank you, Olga." The attendant replied. "I'm sorry but the Simplicity Room seems to full."

"What!" Paige exclaimed

"Does that mean where not getting a massage?" Hazel asked.

"No, no of course not." The Spa Attended reassured them."It's just that there's a wedding party in most of the rooms in the spa so we can't put you in the Simplicity Room, were going to put you in another room, follow me.

"So your not going to tell me what happen between you and Sean yesterday?" Manny asked Emma while receiving a neck massage by a attractive male masseuse named Zeus

"No, it's kind of private I just want to keep it that way," Emma answered while receiving a back rub by a equally attractive male masseuse called Yani."Manny, I just want to forget about it."

"It was that bad?"

"It wasn't good but it wasn't bad either,it's just I really don't want to talk about it."

"Are you sure you don't want to talk about it, Darcy and Chante aren't here it's just us and you know I won't tell a soul."

"OK it was weird at first but I'm glad we talked about Jay and everything from last year I just can't believe Sean.."

"Excuse me." A woman's voice interrupted Emma."Excuse me Zeus, Yani, I'm bringing in two extra clients they'll be coming in shortly.

Emma tried hard to hold her head up from the face opening in the massage table. She really wanted to see what was so important. "No don't."Yani gently pushed her head back down. "You really shouldn't move too much, it could be quite uncomfortable."

"Ok." Emma replied.

"So, I guess your not going to tell me the rest." Manny uttered.

Emma heard the door opening and an attendant escorting the clients in. "Let's just forget it OK," Emma mumbled.

"Haze, that girl looks like Manny, no, it couldn't be." Paige said while staring at one of the hunky masseuse massaging a dark Raven haired girl back."Seriously Haze, I'm suffering from Degrassi withdrawal sooner or later I'll be seeing Heather Sinclair and her trashy roots. Manny couldn't afford this place, I couldn't afford to come to this place without you."

"You girls can sit right here." The attendant guided them to two seats in the corner. "Zeus and Yani will be with you shortly."

"Thank you," Hazel thanked the attendant before she left the room.

"All done." Zeus the tall dark haired male masseuse said to Manny.

"Here let me help you up." Yani the tall blond masseuse offered to help Emma out of the massage table.

"Oh," Manny noticed Paige and Hazel sitting in the corner.

"I am ready to massage you now." Yani said to Paige.

"How did you guys get in here?" Paige asked Manny and Emma.

"Funny, I was going to ask you guys the same thing." Manny replied.

"So Sean's staying over at Craig's." Ellie said to Alex.

"Yeah," Alex yawned."Tell me again why you had to wake me up just to walk over to Craig's, you could've done that without me you know."

"It's your punishment for not informing me that Sean was back in town." Ellie walked faster around the block.

"What's the hurry you act like Sean's going to run away or something."

"He just might, he did it before."

"So tell me again how you fixed the van." Joey asked Sean.

"I just called in a couple of favors I did last summer at a garage I use to work at. Most of the guys including me worked all night on it, it still has a few kinks here and there but other then that it's in working condition."

"Yeah, not like before." Craig chimed in.

"Really Craig it wasn't that bad." Sean replied. "It just needed a couple of touch ups here and there I've never seen a car as old as this one in such great condition."

"We'll we owe you Sean, without you we wouldn't have been able to go to the Hampton's. Are you sure you don't want to go there's plenty of room for you."

"Yeah I'm sure I have to look for a .."

"Hey where are you guys going?" Alex interrupted.

"We're going on a vacation." Craig said while putting his bag inside the car. "Alex what are you doing here?"

"Don't you mean?" Alex looked around. "Where did she go?"

"Who?" Jimmy asked.

"Great we walk this far just so she could chicken out. Never mind I'm out of here." Alex walked off.

"Guys," Joey looked at his watch. "You need to get going if you want to get there before it gets dark."

Sean looked around for signs of Ellie. "You know what, I changed my mind I want to go too." Sean tossed his bag inside the car. "Craig I can drive if you want me too?"

"Umm, OK,I just want to drive till we get to Bu..," Craig's cell started to ring he let it ring twice but decided to pick it up. "Maybe it's Ashley" He thought. Craig took the phone out of his pocket "Ash."

"No it's not Ash it's me."

"El.."

"Don't say a word, OK. Sean's going with you and I want to go too, me and Alex."

"I just can't, Jimmy..."

"Yes you can, explain it to Jimmy later."

"Why should I do that?"

"Because you owe me, it's time for you to repay me for that favor you promised to do for me last year."

Craig looked at Jimmy who was strapping himself in the car while Sean sat in the back with Jimmy."OK what do you want me to do." Craig mumbled.

"This."
