Later that night, Marco calls Dylan again.
"Hey babe" Dylan
"Hey sexy" Marco
"Sorry that I missed you yesterday." Dylan
"It's ok we don't have to talk everyday." Marco
"It'll be hard not to." Dylan
"True but I know nothing is going to happen unless we talk about it first." Marco
"What's that suppose to mean?" Dylan
"Just nothing bad is going to happen between us." Marco
"Yeah, so how was your day?" Dylan
"Good, they talked me into running for president again since I did so great last year." Marco
"You'll make it again." Dylan
"I know and Alex already wants to be Vice again as long as I don't put her in the panther suit again." Marco says laughing.
"That would have been funny to see." Dylan
"It was pretty amusing. How was your day?" Marco
"Boring compared to yesterday." Dylan
"Oh" Marco
"Well I think I'm going to let you go so I can get something to eat." Dylan
"Ok, I love you. Bye." Marco
"Bye, I love you." Dylan says before hanging up.
The next day of school is election day. Marco is running against J.T.
"I don't see any problems winning this." Marco says laughing
"Who would honestly vote for J.T. Yorke?" Paige says laughing along with Marco
"My point exactly. Oh well it makes him feel important." Marco
"I'm sure there are people that would vote for him." Hazel
"Are you defending him?" Marco
"No just saying that Toby and Liberty will most definitely vote for him." Hazel
"Yeah oh well. Marco will win with no problems." Paige
"Then I'll be vice and the world will make sense once again." Alex
"You have changed a lot Alex." Marco
"Yeah I know, but that doesn't mean that I'm not still the rebel I always have been." Alex
"This is true." Marco
It is time for the elections. Everyone gathered in the gym to hear the speeches. Then cast their votes and went to class. During the end of the day announcements.
"It is no shock to hear that Marco Del Rossi is our president once again." Liberty
Everyone cheers for Marco.
"Thank you guys. I promise to make this a great year." Marco
"You did so much last year to pull us all together." Paige
"Yeah, but this year is going to be different." Marco
"Let's hope so." Paige
"Don't worry we will make sure it is a great year." Alex says coming up behind Marco and putting her arm around him.
"Thanks Alex." Marco
Marco, Alex, Paige, Hazel, Jimmy, Craig, and Ash all go to the-dot to celebrate. Spinner is working.
"Hey guys what can I get for you?" Spinner
"Hmm a new waiter first off." Jimmy
"I'm sorry, I never met for any of it to happen you guys were like family, and now that I have lost you its like I've lost everything." Spinner
"That doesn't change things man." Craig
Spinner walks away and goes to the manager that is working.
"Could you take that table?" Spinner
"Why?" The manager
"They hate me, and they want a new waiter." Spinner
"Ok" The manager says rolling his eyes "Teenagers never make sense."
He walks over and takes their orders. They all enjoy their food and leave when they are done. Marco calls Dylan when he gets home.
"Hey babe." Dylan
"Hey" Marco
"How was your day?" Dylan
"Pretty good. I'm president again as if J.T. Yorke was competition." Marco says laughing
"J.T. actually ran against you?" Dylan says laughing
"Yeah. How was your day?" Marco
"Pretty good nothing much is going on. I can't wait until Friday. It is so hard not seeing you everyday." Dylan
"I know. I miss you." Marco
"How are we going to be able to do this all year?" Dylan
"I don't know, but we'll have too." Marco
"Yeah I suppose we will." Dylan
"Well I'll talk to you later" Marco
"Ok, I love you." Dylan
"Bye I love you too." Marco
It is Thursday morning at the school before school starts. Marco and the gang are sitting outside on the steps talking. When they hear a familiar voice.
"Hey guys" the voice says behind them
"TERRI!" Paige yells standing up and running over to her to give her a hug.
"What are you doing here?" Ash
"I talked my dad into letting me come back. Now that he is gone." Terri
"I'm so glad" Hazel
"So what's been going on here?" Terri
"Loads of stuff. I'm president, Alex is on the good side, Spinner is no longer aloud to go to DCS ever." Marco
"Wow, what a person misses in about a year and a half." Terri
"Yeah, and I've got wheels now." Jimmy
"I heard. Are you ok?" Terri
"Yeah I'm just glad that I lived." Jimmy
"Well I've got to go see Ms. H. I'll see you guys in classes." Terri
"Bye" Everyone
The PA comes on
"Marco Del Rossi to the principal's office. Marco Del Rossi to the Principal's office."
"I better go see what's up now." Marco
"Later" Everyone
Marco goes to the principal's office.
"Hello Marco." Ms. H says as Marco walks in
"Good Morning, Ms. H." Marco
"We've got a new student that needs you to show him around." Ms. H
"Ok" Marco
"He is sitting over there beside Terri. His name is J.D. and he is in grade 12." Ms. H
"Ok" Marco says before walking towards Terri and J.D.
"Hi, my name is Marco and I'll be showing you around Degrassi." Marco
Terri laughs
"What's so funny?" Marco
"The way you did that. So J.D. there you are Marco can show you around." Terri says getting up.
"Your dad said to stick together." J.D.
"So Marco is a friend, nothing is going to happen to you." Terri says now turning and walking away.
"She is such a…" J.D. cuts himself off remembering where they are.
"Come on" Marco says laughing
"Where are we going?" J.D. asks standing up and following Marco
"To your locker and then to MI." Marco
"Ok. Umm can I ask you something sort of personal?" J.D.
"Sure." Marco
"Are you gay?" J.D.
"Yeah" Marco
"Cool, so am I." J.D.
"Oh, so are you Terri's cousin or something?" Marco
"Step brother out parents got married a few month's ago." J.D.
"Oh that's cool. So you know what Terri went through when she was here before." Marco
"Yeah, and I can't believe it some times, because she is still so trusting of men." J.D.
"Really?" Marco
"Yeah, but I protect her." J.D.
"That's good. So how long have you known you are gay?" Marco
"As long as I can remember. I mean I dated girls, but it never felt right. How about you?" J.D.
"I'm not sure. I've only been with two people. Ellie whom I first came out too and Dylan. I guess I always knew I was different though." Marco
"Yeah so are you still with Dylan?" J.D.
"Yeah, he goes to University and we had sort of a rocky year last year, but I love him and live at his parents house." Marco
"Oh." J.D. says looking down at the ground.
"What?" Marco
"Nothing." J.D.
"Ok, well here is your locker." Marco says stopping and pointing to a locker.
"Thanks" J.D. says opening his locker and putting his bag in it.
The first bell rings.
"We should hurry or we will get bad seats in MI." Marco
"Ok." J.D. says grabbing a notebook and pencil.
They hurry to MI.
Marco shows J.D. around all day. He fits in well with the group. Now Terri and J.D. are walking home.
"So what do you think so far?" Terri
"I think Marco is hot, and I'm going to like it here." J.D.
"You do know Marco has a boyfriend right?" Terri
"Yeah relax I said he is hot not that I'm going to jump all over him." J.D.
Terri and J.D. are laughing when they walk in the door.
"Is that laughter of a good day?" J.D.'s mom
"Yeah I like it here." J.D.
"I'm glad to hear that." J.D.'s mom
"I'm going to go do my homework." Terri
"I'll join you." J.D.
They go upstairs to Terri's room and do their homework.
"Do you think Marco and his boyfriend will last?" J.D.
"Yeah, they've been together for awhile now." Terri
"Well he told me that they had a bit of a rocky year last year." J.D.
"I don't know what to tell you. Get to know him then decide for yourself." Terri
"I will." J.D.
The phone rings and Terri answers it.
"Hello" Terri
"Hey" Paige
"Whats up?" Terri
"Do you want to come to the-dot?" Paige
"Hang on." Terri
"Ok" Paige
Terri sets the phone down and goes down stairs.
"Dad, Paige wants to know if I can go to the-dot with her and a couple of other people." Terri
"I suppose you can. See if J.D. wants to go with you." Terri's dad.
"Ok" Terri
Terri goes back upstairs.
"Yeah we can." Terri
"J.D. is coming too?" Paige
"Probably, Its like I have a 24-7 watch dog." Terri
"Well I guess that couldn't hurt. Marco, Hazel, Jimmy, Me, and Matt are all going to be there." Paige
"Who's Matt?" Terri
"My boyfriend" Paige
"Oh, What about Dylan?" Terri
"Nope, couldn't make it. He is coming home this weekend though." Paige
"Ok, So we'll meet you there." Terri
"Great" Paige
They hang up and Terri asks J.D. if he wants to go.
"Will Marco be there?" J.D.
"I think so." Terri
"Then yeah." J.D.
At the-dot everyone is finally there. Paige introduces Matt to Terri and J.D. Marco's cell phone rings.
"Hey sexy" Marco
"Hey babe, where are you? Its loud." Dylan
"Oh in the-dot hang on I'll go outside." Marco
"Ok" Dylan
Marco goes outside.
"There how's that?" Marco
"Much better I can actually hear you." Dylan
"So how was your day?" Marco
"Pretty good I can't wait until tomorrow though." Dylan
"Me either" Marco
"How was your day?" Dylan
"Pretty interesting. Terri is back and along with her we got her new step-brother who happens to be gay." Marco
"Oh" Dylan
"Yeah and I being the president had to show him around school all day." Marco
"So are you into him?" Dylan
"No, but I don't think he feels the same way I do." Marco
"Oh" Dylan
"Yeah, don't worry I told you nothing is going to happen unless we both agree upon it first." Marco
"Yeah well…" Dylan
"What?" Marco
"It's just I'm feeling the pressure here to be with other guys again." Dylan
"What?" Marco
"Don't worry I love you." Dylan
"Yeah you loved me last year too." Marco
"Well I'm not going to cheat on you this year." Dylan
"You better not." Marco
"How about we talk about all of this over the weekend." Dylan
"Ok" Marco
"I'm going to let you go get back to the party at the-dot." Dylan
"Ok bye I love you." Marco
"I love you too." Dylan
They hang up and Marco goes back inside. As soon as he walks in J.D. comes up to him.
"Hey can we talk?" J.D.
"Um sure." Marco
"Can we go somewhere other than here?" J.D.
"I guess so." Marco
J.D. walks out of the door and Marco follows him.
"So where is a good place to go?" J.D.
"There's a park over that way a couple of blocks." Marco says pointing
"Ok" J.D.
They start walking.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Marco
"Ok look I like you." J.D.
"I'm still with my boyfriend." Marco
"I know that." J.D.
"So then why are you doing this?" Marco
"I'm just letting you know how I feel. I'm not going to pressure you into cheating on him or anything. I just wanted you to know that I like you." J.D.
"Um ok." Marco says sort of confused
"Ok look, Where I came from I was an outcast. It's good to know that there are other gay guys around and they are popular. I want to become friends with all of you." J.D.
"Ok, I don't think you have a problem there. You seem to fit in great." Marco
"Yeah, Terri just gets sick of always hanging out with me." J.D.
"She'll get use to it." Marco
"Well do you want to go back to the-dot?" J.D.
"Sure" Marco
