A Degrassi Fanfic
Titled: "Why Me"
Chapter 7: Regrets
It was a lovely Sunday and Manny had just gotten home from church. She was excited that her mother and father were going out. She had the house to herself, and she was going to meet up with some friends later on. There was always something to do, everyday. So as soon as her parents were at the door, Manny was eager to begin her plans. "Now Manuella, we'll be home around 11:00 P.M. We want you in the house by 9 o'clock P.M, no later than 9:15, we'll call and check in, and the neighbors will be on the look out also. So don't try anything sneaky, and no one is allowed in." her mother said breaking down the rules.
Giving her mom and Dad a kiss, Manny closed the door, locked it and headed to her room. She had the strictest parents ever, but they were loosening up. It was only 12:30 P.M, and she headed upstairs to shower. Getting out of the shower, Manny tried to find something very skimpy to wear. Since the neighbors were on the look out she had to be careful.
So she settled on a pair of extra tight jeans, a pink Cami, which showed some cleavage. Applying her make-up, Manny thought about how many people were going to be there. Glossing up her lips, and brushing her hair, Manuella blew a kiss at herself signifying that she was pleased with her appearance. Putting her earrings on, she grabbed her keys, put on some shoes and was out the door.
Walking down the street, she made sure she had her tickets, and then hopped on the bus. In less then 12 minutes, she was at her destination. This happened to be Elijah Fonseta's apartment. Apartment number 35. Getting out of the elevator, she saw someone that appeared to be very familiar, going into apartment number 33. The young woman was dressed in a small grey T-shirt, Baggy grey sweats, and white flip flops, with her hair in a messy ponytail. Manny was waiting for her to turn around, so she could catch a glimpse of her face, but the girl never did.
Shrugging it off, Manny entered Elijah's apartment and saw JT, ShawnQuisha, a couple of Derrick's friends and lots of people she didn't know. Walking in she took her shoes off, and walked over to a couch and sat down. ShawnQuisha was walking around with a tiny shirt and a top that brought her twins to attention. While one of Derrick's friends chased her around the apartment.
"Hey Manuella when did you get here?" Elijah asked approaching her, with JT right behind him. Looking at the clock she noticed that it was 1:30 P.M. She was pretty slow, taking all that time to get there. "Ohh, I just got here" she responded with a smile. Elijah was just so cute. She just hoped that he didn't bring up Theresa or anything. But she would act like she didn't hear him. After all it was a bit hard to hear anybody, through the loud hip hop music.
Manny was loving the song that was now blasting. Massari's hit single "Be Easy" was having some people dancing, and others looking like there were having sex. But Manny couldn't knock it, dancing so provocatively wasn't bad, she did it herself also. Looking at the door, she saw Craig, Jimmy, Spinner, and Sully walk into the room.
"Hey Elijah my man" Jimmy said giving him a five. He then realized that the people he came with had let their eyes roam, and where having conversations with the many half naked females. Jimmy let his eyes roam too, and was on his way.
Seeing Craig made Manny feel a bit nervous. She remembered when she was obsessed with him, and lost her virginity to him. She was so lucky she didn't get pregnant, or catch any disease. Even though they didn't use protection, nothing happened. Manny wasn't trying to call Craig a male slut or anything, but you could never know.
But Manuella Santos was ready to have some fun, and maybe rekindle some lust with Craig, or have a little fun with Elijah. It really didn't matter who, as long as the guy was cute, and they were safe, she was down, literally. It seemed like everybody in the house was being all touchy-feely. People would always come over Elijah's crib and hang out, his parents were never home. So occasionally he'd have to house sit for his brother. So he'd have lots of people keep him company at his brother's apartment.
Elijah was a person who had lots of respect. The upper classmates respected him, and a lot of them were his friends. Unlike most kids in his grade who were shunned by the 11th and 12th graders. A lot of the 11th and 12th graders were there. Then there were some 10th graders, and very few freshmen. It was as if half the school was in his brother's apartment. But what an apartment it was. It had 4 bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room, and living room. The people seemed to be having lots of fun, and Elijah headed to the kitchen to make refreshments.
Setting out the refreshments he looked in the freezer for some ice. But there wasn't any, so he decided to go to the basement to see if there was some ice in the freezer down there. But he came back up with no luck. The kids from Degrassi were a bit wild and he couldn't leave them to go to the store and purchase ice. But with half naked females walking around, it could be a good thing or a bad one. They could either be in control and chill and flirt with the girls. Or they could go beyond wild to impress them.
He then saw Manny who seemed to be trying to talk to Craig but failing. So he approached them. "So you like it here so far?" Manny asked Craig. Who seemed to be just looking around and listening to the music. "Turn the music up right now" Craig said, in his attempt to sing like Rihanna. Manny couldn't help but smile, Craig was just adorable, and funny. Manny, feeling the music started to slowly wind her hips to the music.
Hips winding, ass on Craig's crotch, Manny started to enjoy herself. That's when they were approached by Elijah. "Aye, you guys have ice?" The green-eyed cutie asked grinning. Water bottle in hand, he started to spray them and then ran. Doing so to almost every pair dancing. "I was trying to help; you guys were getting a bit hot and sweaty. This aint no J.Lo, Britney, or Beyonce video. So dancing in heat, like their other videos they always get splashed with water. Enjoy it Damnit!" Elijah commented while running from Craig, who then just tackled him to the ground. AS they wrestled playfully, Manny decided to jump in. She just dived in on top of them yelling out "wheeeeeeeeeeee!" Then landing really hard. "Ohh, get off" Elijah yelled, being at the very bottom.
Manny got off, then Craig, and Elijah lay on the floor laughing hysterically. "Nah, Na Na Na Na na!" Manny exclaimed, and just for good measure, kicked Elijah. "Loser's" Elijah yelled getting up. Craig got in Elijah's face causing Elijah to jump. "Okay. I give up" he said flinching. "I wasn't going to hit you little girl" Craig commented. "Yeah you were, just mad cuz ya girl aint as hot as me" Elijah said touching his zero cups, and smiling. "But seriously, I need some ice man" The green-eyed sophomore said.
"Okay. I hope you have some friendly neighbors." Craig said going out the door, on his quest for ice. "Thanks man" Elijah yelled and turned around to find Manny in his face. "Where's Craig?" she asked. "He went to get some ice. Since we need it for some games and for the drinks" Elijah said as he picked up a chip from the bowl and started to snack on it. "Oh okay" Manny replied, a bit disappointed. It was good to be with Craig, just chilling and having fun.
Something she missed, because they barely talked these days. It was just mostly her and JT. But at times they would be joined by Elijah. So she just sat back and chatted with Elijah. But the conversation was starting to get a bit sexual, which was the direction that Manny was heading in all along. "So can I see the room anytime soon?" Manny questioned while playing with her hair. "Sure you can" Elijah replied, he wouldn't mind having her in his room at all.
But he hoped that Manny was really game, and not just talking to be talking. "But whatcha wanna go in there for?" Elijah asked. "Ohh…I just wanna check it out, and maybe introduce you to my friends, and then I can meet yours" She responded with a grin on her face, ad she played with the strap of her Cami. "Ohh Okay" Elijah replied, to him it wasn't that serious, because Manny was just too easy. Or she was just one horny girl.
Out In The Hallway
Craig stood out in the hallway just coming back from apartment number 36. They seemed to have no ice, so he was standing in the hall knocking on the door of apartment number 34. No one seemed to be answering. That's when he saw a girl in baggy grey sweatpants, and grey T-shirt walk out of apartment #33. The girl looked a bit familiar. But when he realized who she was it was too late. She had entered the apartment number 36. But she came back out within seconds.
"Hey" Craig said, greeting her. He knew who she was, but he didn't remember her name, until he looked at her bracelet. "Tiyanna" he said, saying her name slowly. "Yeah, what's up?" she asked leaning on her door. "You're the girl that kicked Ashley's ass, I remember, she needed that. You did a favor for all of us" Craig said grinning. Tiyanna grinned a bit then stopped. She wasn't a big fan of violence, but some just had a coming. "I'm not a big fan of violence, some people have it coming but others don't deserve it" she said sighing. That's when Craig noticed the mark on her face. He's seen it before but he never really paid attention to it. But that's when he remembered the first day he had seen it. He was in the office talking to a teacher, while Manny was trying to get his attention, when Tiyanna first walked in.
So she couldn't have possibly gotten that scratch from Ashley. "What happened?" He said touching the mark on her face. "Mother" Tiyanna said, and then stopped. She wondered why she even said it to him, she barely knew him. "I had one too, father though" Craig said showing him the scar, that was fading away. That's when Tiyanna knew it was okay, it was as if the boy was just like her a bit. "So, do you have any ice?" Craig asked.
"Umm...Yeah, We have lots." Tiyanna said opening the door and letting him in. "Why?" Craig question. Grinning Tiyanna responded "For people like you, who ask for it" She responded. "Nah, my Uncle just gave us ice, you know, even though its December, I still like my cold drinks. But this winter isn't that bad." Walking down to the basement, she went to the freezer. Bending down to get the bag of ice, Craig could help but catch a glimpse at her white thong.
"Here you go" She said handing him the bag. "Yeah you are" Craig said smiling. It was as if this girl had some control of his emotions. He'd just be grinning and smiling while talking to her. If he kept on, his cheeks would be hurting. "Oh" Tiyanna said looking down at her shirt, which read Beautiful in white letters. "Thanks" She replied with a smile. She knew her dad was at work and everything, so she was just chilling around the building, helping the lady in Apartment number 36 with her errands.
"So what did you need Ice for?" Tiyanna questioned. "Oh, a bunch of us are hanging out in apartment number 35, and we needed some ice for these games, and for the refreshments" Craig said still cheesing. "Oh okay, you Degrassi students" Tiyanna said shaking her head. "So, your one of us anyway, in 2 weeks you'll be back right?" Craig asked. "Yup, can't wait" Tiyanna said taking a seat on the coach, as Craig joined her. "This time you have to promise to be a good girl" Craig said acting like a father.
They talked about their abuse, which was a bit similar. But Craig one person, and Tiyanna 2. Craig would be a bit sympathetic for his father, but he was in a program, and he had lots of time to change. He was just glad that his father was getting the help that he deserved, and he was glad that Tiyanna was away from her mother. "You know what's funny? We didn't even cry while expressing our pain" Tiyanna said giggling a bit. "Maybe we're out of tears" Craig responded.
Looking at the TV, Craig realized that it was 2:54 P.M. "Damn, we've been talking for a while. Surprised the ice isn't melting yet." He said. "It won't, its' been there for hours and hours. Plus you need a hammer to break it apart too." Tiyanna said handing him a hammer. "You better not be giving me expired ice girl" Craig said taking the hammer and putting it in his back pocket. Tiyanna shook her head and laughed. "I'm not" she said as she opened the door for him, letting him out.
While Manny was wondering where the hell Craig was. It didn't take that long to get ice. But that's when she saw him coming out of an apartment. With the girl in grey and white holding the door for him. Craig just kept looking back and he had this huge grin on his face. Like as if he was the happiest person in the world. "Bye" Tiyanna said, just as Manny looked and realized that Tiyanna was the girl in grey and white. Manny just continued down the hall, since they didn't see her anyway. Why the hell is Tiyanna here? And what's up with her and Craig being so friendly with each other. But, a smile is nothing, I'll have him screaming. Manny thought, as a smirk came across her face. She decided to take a walk and think of a plan. Just as her and Elijah were about to have some fun, the idiots decides to knock down some of the snacks, causing Jimmy and Elijah to clean it up. They claimed it was a mistake, stupid freshmen.
Elijah decided to be nice and give them a warning, and if one more thing happened, they would be out. So while they cleaned, Manny decided to check up on Craig and his quest for ice, which led her to the store, and back. It seemed to be getting a bit colder, and she came back to the apartment building, and was heading out the elevator when she saw Tiyanna again. But this time she actually knew who she was, and this time she was with Craig.
Turning around she decided to head back to Elijah's. This time when she walked in, she noticed that Hazel and Paige were there. This made her so jealous. It was as if Paige had so much power. She got Hazel in a shit load of trouble, and she was still by her side. But Manny tried the same, and lost her friends. She lost Emma, and she lost Theresa, and Tiyanna. But she couldn't be so sure. She didn't try talking to them. "Santos" Paige greeted with a slight grin. "Michalchuk" Manny said responding.
Seeing her enter the room, Elijah decided to grab Manny by the arm and lead her upstairs to his room. Which was very color coordinated. Everything in it was blue and white. "Nice room" Manny said taking off her jacket. She didn't really seem to be nervous. Leaning closer, she and Elijah engaged in long kiss, letting their tongues meet each other. While Elijah decided to explore with his hands. Falling on the bed, Manny started to slowly undress, while Elijah quickly did so.
Once they were naked, they let their friends meet, and it was a great pleasure. After they finished Manny laid on the bed smiling. She then tried to compare the two. But it was just a tie. They weren't identical, but yet they weren't that different. Elijah got up and went to his bathroom, while Manny laid there grinning, and playing with her hair. Maybe it was the punch, which of course she knew was spiked. Or she was just one horny person today.
Opening the door, Jimmy accidentally entered the room. "Sorry" He said looking at Manny just laying there as if she was posing for a nude magazine. "Don't be" Manny said winking at him. Shaking his head, Jimmy grinned and left the room. Elijah walked out, in a T-shirt and shorts, and went out the door. Leaving Manny to whatever in the hell she was doing.
Hopping in his shower, Manny took her time, Letting the water run all over her little frame; she thought about the sex with Elijah, it was fabulous. Then the one with Craig was something she'd never forget. After getting herself freshened up, she walked out the bathroom and right back to Elijah's room. Since the the two rooms were connected she didn't have to worry about people seeing her. But even if they did, Manny would sure enjoy it. Just then Craig walked into Elijah's room, hoping to use his phone.
But then seeing Manny naked, he couldn't help but remember the night they had together. For a virgin she sure was freaky, and knew what she was doing. "Hi Craig, come fuck me…..please" Manny said, and she laid there ready for him. "No, I can't" Craig said looking for the phone. But Manny had to have something. "Okay Craig" She replied as she walked over to him, and slowly unzipped him pants. "You don't have to fuck me here" She said pointing at her vagina. "But you can fuck me here" she added, pointing at her mouth. With that request, Craig didn't disagree.
Outside Elijah's Room
Elijah sat on the couch talking with Paige Michalchuk. It seemed as if she was really into him. But was a bit embarrassed, since he was younger than her. Elijah didn't really care, since she wasn't his type anyway. She simply just talked too much, and she was a bitch. But if she wanted him to hook her up with a guy who was in grade 12, then he'd be more than happy to help. At least he'd be getting her away from him.
So, after making the introductions, Elijah had Hazel on his back, wondering where Paige was. "Have you seen Paige? Its 5 o'clock and she knows I'm not even supposed to be here! So I need to be home, before my mom gets home from work." Hazel complained.
"Well umm, she's a bit busy right now, so if ya wanna disturb her, she's out in the hall." Elijah replied. "Thanks" Hazel said and rapidly walked away. That's when he saw Manny walking to the refreshment table and getting some snacks. He knew he had to act normal around her, so they wouldn't ruin their relationship. Plus they could just be sex buddies, that wasn't such a bad idea. Manny walked over to Elijah and whispered in his ear. "You can keep them" She said with a smile. Elijah didn't know what she was talking about, but it didn't really matter.
Elijah was a bit surprised; it was as if his brother's apartment turned into a sex crib. He walked in on people in the bathroom, the basement, his room…just anywhere they could. "I'm gonna have to start charging admission" He said to himself with a smile. Then they started to play games like "ice kiss", "Icicle", "hard ice" and what ever idea the kids came up with.
They were having a good time, but people started to clear out at around 9 o'clock. That's when Elijah realized that Manny was gone. All the freshmen were gone, and it was time to really party. Hazel was long gone, and Paige was in the bathroom with some dude who's in grade 12. There were girl on girl activities , dares, strip poker, and the 7 up with a twist. Where guys had to identify which girls boobs and ass in the dark.
At around 1 in the morning, everyone was out, and the apartment was clean. Elijah was tired, and just as he got ready to go to sleep, he saw Manny's panties on the floor. Then he understood what she meant. Grinning he thought to himself I should start a collection. "Not bad, not bad at all Manuella" Elijah said out loud to himself.
It was Monday morning, and almost every student was talking about the day at Elijah's house on Sunday. Elijah was getting big props from a lot of the people that attended, mostly the guys. A lot of guys got laid that day, and were loving it. While some girls came to school with their head down, ashamed of the activities they performed. Especially the two girls who performed girl on girl acts for everyone to see.
But Manny Santos, walked into the school like she owned it. She didn't really give a damn. She got home late, without getting busted, and she had 2 guys yesterday. On her way to her locker, she got stopped by Elijah. "Thanks" He said with a smile. Manny didn't know what he was thanking her for. But she decided to be polite. "No problem" she said with a wink and a smile, and was on her way.
That's when she saw Craig, and smiled and said hello. But Craig just shook his head, and looked the other way. Manny didn't know what was wrong, she did a damn good job yesterday, and then he treats her like trash. She didn't want to cause a scene. So she left it alone. But that's when Elijah, Craig, and Jimmy were standing around just talking. Seeing them three together made her feel a bit uncomfortable. Those were 3 guys at Degrassi who have seen her naked, and maybe have no respect at all for her.
She knew they had to be talking about her, and what they had to say was no good. That's when they were all heading to class. Walking past her they all coughed slut. cough "slut" cough. Manny knew what she did was wrong, but she didn't know why she did it. She couldn't really blame the punch, because she knew what she was doing, and she liked how it felt. She wasn't thinking about the future, or the consequences, she was thinking about satisfying her needs.
All through the day, people would point and her and whisper, and Manny would try and be tough like it didn't bother her. But for some strange reason, she sort of liked the attention she was getting. She was the so called school slut. That's when a freshman was talking her friend about Manny. "Yeah that's her. She had sex with Elijah Fonseta, and then gave Craig Oral…on the same Day!...What a slut" Overhearing the girl Manny stopped walking and turned around.
"Yeah, that's right. You want me to show you how I did it? Or are you just jealous that you don't have the courage to do it. You fantasize about them even knowing your name. But I FUCKED both of them, you got that? You can hate all you want. Should have filmed it. Cuz if I did, I bet I would have millions, and be just like Paris Hilton" Manny said with a laugh, and walked away.
The young girls giggled, and one remarked. "But you know if a guy got laid twice in one day, he's the man. But a female does it, and she's the school slut." The other just shrugged; it didn't matter to her really. Because it was a complicated thing. Boys are boys. Being a Man comes with not being able to accept some things. Yeah you're the man, and you can pull as many women each night as you want. But a female can't pull men like that, unless they are whores. Because women are really respected more if you think about it. Women are mothers, and if they get pregnant than they are carrying the baby.
Men can do things and get away with it, because they are men. It's just how things are, and you either accept it or you don't, that's just how the cookie crumbles. Manny didn't really care about the word going around school. It would die off pretty quickly, and she'd be labeled a slut, whatever. That's how it was with Paris and the tape. But now she's famous as hell. After that tape, she had every girl envying her, and wanting to be her. But Manny couldn't possibly compare herself to Paris Hilton, and she knew she couldn't. But that's what popped in her head, and came out her mouth. It was the end of the day, and she was heading to her locker to get her things. That's when she saw Elijah running around with what seemed to be a pink and white flag on a stick.
That's when she noticed that those where her panties. Being waved around, guys taking turns waving them. Manny felt like breaking down and crying, she felt like a total worthless slut. There wasn't much she could so. But she stood there, and tried to be strong. She took the entire name calling, and the taunting, all with a smile on her face. "Thanks guys, this was a nice holiday for me" Manuella said blowing a kiss at the crowd and heading out the door.
That's when the principal rounded the guys in the office. They had detention for the rest of the month. But they believed it was worth it, even though Manny never cried, she felt like she was being honored or something. But hey, it was something fun.
