A Degrassi Fanfic
Titled: "Why Me?"
Chapter 8: Things Happen
The next day at school, Theresa was a bit shocked at all that happened on Sunday. She wasn't there, but it seemed like Manny did some pretty weird things with Craig and Elijah. She was glad she wasn't there, because she didn't know what crazy things she would have ended up doing. But Manny took it so well, maybe that was just the kind of behavior to expect from her, after being friends with Tiyanna. Maybe one would learn how to be strong. Seeing Liberty and her lover boy JT, making out in the hallway Theresa envied that. It was like love was in the air, for almost everyone. And for most sex was in the air, or at least Manuella Santos' panties were yesterday.
Thinking about that caused Theresa to giggle. That was a funny stunt, and even though they got detention for it, it was all good. The school got a laugh; she thought she even saw Ms. Hotsolasko giggling a bit herself. Walking into her classroom, she saw Elijah sitting in the seat next to hers. Maybe he was trying to make it a regular thing. But he better not expect to get some like he did from Manny. Sitting down next to him, Theresa gave him a slight smile. "Good morning beautiful" Elijah greeted her with a smile.
"Hey" Theresa replied. It bothered her a bit, that he claimed that him and Manny were just friends. But then he had sex with her. But he was just being a typical guy, if a girl was putting out, what guy wouldn't turn that down. Plus the fact of the matter is, Elijah is single, so he was just having fun. "So how was Sunday?" Theresa asked with a playful smirk. "It was fine, as you know, Manny was slut-tastic. I had sex with her, and then she turned around and within minutes gave Craig oral sex. I mean she was just being easy, and I took the opportunity. But that day, I lost all respect for her. She's just a little slut, and that's why we pulled that stunt yesterday." Elijah explained.
Theresa could just laugh, it was funny how a girl could do something like that. Having no boundaries, or morals. But across the hall, Manny wasn't even thinking about the whispering and the stories. She had a plan. How could someone try and take her spot? She was going to get Craig, no matter how sluttish she was being. So when the bell rang, signaling lunchtime, Manny was ready to put her plan into action. She knew that Derrick was an average guy, and she also knew what she was a bout to do. She was going to do it in front of his friends.
So walking into the lunchroom, many headed to the back. This was where Derrick and his posse sat. AS always there was Rick, Derrick, Cory, ShawnQuisha, Dorian, Curtis and LaToya. As soon as Rick saw Manny approach the table he had to crack a joke. Grabbing his crotch he asked Manny "So you coming back here to suck my dick?" and that comment had a few of them laughing. "No thank you" many replied. She wasn't getting any respect, but it didn't really matter. She didn't need respect to do what she planned to do. "Well, I came here to let Derrick know about some visitations…" She started. They looked a bit confused, maybe Manuella was trying to invite Derrick over for a little wild sex session. "Sunday, Craig Manning, was with Tiyanna in an apartment...ALONE! And and just think that Derrick should know. I wasn't the only one being freaky Sunday. Don't believe me, ask Craig himself, and ask Tiyanna too" Manny said and walked away.
Derrick just sat there, he couldn't believe it, and he refused to believe it. Tiyanna was kicked out of school and Craig didn't even know where she lived. And she for damn sure didn't live in an apartment. But his boys seemed to believe what came out of Manuella suck-a-dick Santos' mouth. "Man, ya'll can't believe her. She just a ho, and Tiyanna wasn't at that damn shit, ya'll know it. Rick, you was there. You know Tiyanna wasn't there man." Derrick said hoping he was right.
"Yeah, she wasn't there, me and Quisha would have seen her. But I don't know, she seem a bit secretive to me, you never know" Rick replied. "I can't believe ya'll doubting my girl; how ya'll gonna do something like that?" Derrick questioned. Then got up, and tried to get this thing over with. Derrick got up and headed over to where Craig was sitting. It was him, Sully, Jimmy and Spinner just having a good lunch time like always. That's when Derrick stopped and looked dead at Craig.
"You know Tiyanna?" Derrick asked. "Umm yeah, I do why? What's the problem man?" Craig asked wondering what the sophomore's problem was. "So you were in an apartment with her on Sunday?" Derrick said, keeping the questions coming. "Yeah, her dad's apartment, she gave me a hammer and some ice, and we just chilled for a bit." Craig said with a slight grin and a raised eyebrow. He didn't know what was with the questions, and he didn't see this guy as a threat so he didn't see it as a big deal. "It wasn't that big of a deal man" Jimmy added butting in to the conversation. Smiling Derrick replied "that's all I needed to know man" And walked away.
Maybe Manny put them to this. It couldn't possibly be true, since Manny was after all fucking Craig. So he had to call up Tiyanna and see what was up. Walking out of the cafeteria, he stomped through the halls in his timbs, and headed to the very back hall way. It was a place where everybody could get signals in the school. Derrick didn't worry, his phone always had a signal, but once it wouldn't pick up a signal at all. But he had to make sure that he could make this call.
Calling Tiyanna on the phone, he figured out some things, and they hurt him. Maybe it was just that the words didn't come out like they were supposed to. Tiyanna was staying with her father, and her and Craig hung out, and she gave him a hammer and ice. What was that supposed to mean? Derrick didn't take it literally, he thought it was some little inside sex joke, and he wasn't at all laughing. "I aint even know you was like that" Derrick said before hanging up the phone. She had pissed him off, and plus she didn't want to get into any trouble.
Walking back into the lunch room, Derrick felt like he was stupid for not taking all that Emma had offered to him. Since Tiyanna did god knows what in an apartment alone with some guy. That really hurt him, plus he knew how guys in Degrassi were so horny, and what not. They just laughed and said "hammer and ice" as if Derrick would know the meaning to that. It was an inside joke, and Derrick felt that it was time for him to be free. But little did he know just how wrong he was. Going to the back to sit with his people, Derrick had a grin on he was back to the old him now. He was never in his life be caught up in a girl.
He tried to act as if he wasn't hurt. Forget about Tiyanna, she can hammer her ass on to Craig. It seemed as if his friends didn't care, or forgot about the situation. That was cool, since Derrick didn't want to talk about it. The rest of the day seemed to go by so quickly, and during the last bell Derrick was heading towards his locker. That's when he was stopped by Craig. "You okay man, was there a problem?" Craig asked wondering what the point of the questions was. "Yeah I'm Aight" Derrick said looking at Craig as if he could kill him.
"Okay man" Craig said with a grin. "If I can help you in anyway, let me know" He said and walked away. Derrick took his things out the locker, and was glad that he didn't have practice today. He was going to call Tiyanna when he got home, and try and here her out once more. So as soon as he got home, he dropped his stuff. Kicked off his shoes, made sure the heater was on, and called up Tiyanna.
Tiyanna: Hello
Derrick: Yeah
Tiyanna: What's ya damn problem, hangin up on me, and then you got the balls to call me back. Who da hell do you think you are?
Derrick: Who do you think you are? You move in with ya daddy and turn into a lil hoe
Tiyanna: A hoe? Nigga you got me bent, you must not know who da hell you talking to. Craig came over and like I said we chilled for a minute, and talked. We got some things in common. I gave him some ice, and a hammer. He was chillin over Elijah's crib. And when he came back to return the hammer we talked and that's it. So what the hell you trippin about?
Derrick: the fact that my girl was alone with a damn Junior, in her dad's apartment, a place where she has all the freedom in the world. Plus my boys think you did something, so did you?
Tiyanna: Fuck ya boys! They don't know shit, and I aint cheating on yo punk ass. I'm not that quick to jump from guy to guy, so what is you saying. People spread rumors about you all the time, but I don't question you , nor follow them. But you flip on me like this?
Derrick: But it's different, I'm a man. I got a level of respect to maintain. I can't have my boys thinking I'm some little whipped bitch.
Tiyanna: What about me? I've had a level of respect to maintain. But people was thinking that I'm a low self-esteem having girl, that's whipped over yo punk ass. Fuck ya boys! Again I'm saying that, why do you care so much about what others think. If ya worrying about ya boys so much, fuck it its over. Go with ya boys, cause from now on Tee-ya-na Shawn-tree-se More isn't ya girl no more.
Tiyanna said enunciating her whole name: Tiyanna Shaun'Treace Moore. She then just hung up the phone. She just couldn't believe it, how childish Derrick was being. All the times that people tried to break them up, she wouldn't allow it. But it works when someone tells him some garbage like that. Tiyanna was pissed, she felt like crying, but she couldn't allow herself to cry over a guy like Derrick. A few days ago he was the best boyfriend ever. Now he turned into the dumbest one.
Tiyanna just couldn't believe his behavior, after all the crap she heard from other girls, she still stayed. But she knew one thing; Derrick was going to regret this. But she was going to be back in school, in just one week. So much had happened during her suspension, she moved out of her mother's house, her mother gave birth, her sister died, and she broke up with Derrick. But Tiyanna knew she had to stay strong, she couldn't keep thinking about how her sister looked in that tiny casket. It just brought tears to her eyes.
Turning on the TV, she started to watch a lifetime story, and later on fell asleep.
A Week Later
Tiyanna walked out of the office with her re-admit slip, and happy to be back. She didn't know she was that popular. People she didn't know kept approaching her, welcoming her back to the school. She was very happy to be back, and all she could do was smile, and thank them. But her smile soon faded when she saw Derrick. She had forgotten how good he had looked, and she felt like running to him, and having him hold her, and tell her everything was okay. But all he did was act like he didn't even see her, and kept walking.
Tiyanna had to admit that really hurt her. That was the same guy that told her he loved her, and would be with her forever. Now he acted as if he didn't. Maybe he faked all of it; maybe he actually did some freaky shit with Emma. But as much as Tiyanna didn't like Derrick at the moment, she still believed his word. He was telling the truth, because Tiyanna knew him for a long time. She'd known him before they hooked up. So typically, she knew when he was lying.
Tiyanna just headed to her locker and put her coat and things in the locker. Heading to class she passed by Theresa who just looked at her, not knowing what to say. But Tiyanna wasn't that angry at Theresa. She just thought that Theresa made horrible mistakes, and she had to let her learn from them. But Manuella Santos was a different story. She did what she wanted without even thinking of the consequences. But it seemed as if she never had any. Walking into the classroom, Tiyanna saw Manny sitting in the front talking to JT.
Manny stopped her laughter long enough to say "hey Tiyanna...Welcome back" with a smile. How dare she speak to her as if they were the best of friends? When she was the liar that got her suspended for 3 weeks. But Tiyanna just let it slide, she didn't even reply, she just kept on walking, and made it to her seat. What was wrong with that girl? Did she actually think that she was the shit, and actually thought that Tiyanna would bow down to her? If so, she had another thing coming at her. Looking out in the hall, she saw the 3 musketeers walking. Hazel, Ashley, and the bitch… Paige. They had to be out of their minds to suck up to Paige. Where they that lonely? To actually think there was no other friend besides Paige?
Some people were just that desperate. But Tiyanna knew better, she knew that she didn't need any friends. She could make it without them. Going to study hall, The student teacher Tiara, was going to give Tiyanna four tests', and 2 Quizzes that she missed. Tiyanna was prepared; she did a lot of studying besides watching Lifetime. So she knew she was going to nip all of them in the butt. As they entered study hall, she saw Paige also in there, maybe skipping a class. But she was with a guy, who seemed to be in grade 12.
But he wasn't tutoring her alright, but in tongue. Tiara coughed, signaling her presence. "Don't make me report you two. Now do what you came to do" Tiara said taking a seat. "That was what we came to do, maybe more" The guy mumbled with laughter in his voice. "Seriously" Tiara said with a stern look, and they hushed, and exited the room. Tiyanna got her utensils, and began her work. She knew she had it in the bag, when she saw the questions. This was going to be pretty easy.
Meanwhile….
Back in the classroom, Liberty was getting pretty annoyed. Her boyfriend was always talking to Manny, the school slut. What did they actually have to discuss. While passing out the class work, Liberty shook her head at Manny. As she got to where Manny and JT sat, she was glad to give Manuella Santos her D- paper. "If you weren't too busy being a slut, you could have did better" Liberty said with a smile. As she walked away, JT grin and blew a kiss at her, while Liberty just gave him a smug look. "What's up with Liberty calling me names? Check ya girl JT" Manny said balling up her paper.
"I don't have to check anybody, she is right. You are the big slut of the school now." Jt said, acting as if he just now realized that. Getting up, he moved to his regular seat. Manny just sat there, as if she lost all her friends. In the end she really didn't have any. "Birds of a feather flock together. Or whatever it is" Manny said out loud to herself. She just had to find some "slut-tastic" friends. Sitting back in her seat, she put her head down. She really didn't feel like doing any work at the moment. Her grades where slipping and report card were coming in January. And Manny already knew that she was going to be in so much trouble.
But that was her, she should have been focusing on her schoolwork, instead of guys. Sitting there with her head down, she thought of a lot of things. How would she explain her grades to her mother? But maybe she could make up the work. "I'll start tomorrow" Manny said to herself, as if she actually believed it. All card marking she did nothing, and then start doing work 3 weeks before report cards, wasn't going to work. It would just bring her F's to D's, and her D's to C's. But Manny would rather try that, then anything else. Because if she had an F on her report card, she was in some shit. Her parents didn't play when it came to education. And she knew that, but she thought she could get by without doing her homework, or any class work. Boy was she ever wrong.
Tiyanna suddenly came back to class took a seat and began her class work. It was a shame that she was done, while some people were still struggling with the work. "I find it very shocking, how Miss. Moore can be done with her work, and have it correct. When she started after everyone in this room, and finished before you all, and had them all correct." Miss. Taylor said to the class. "I'm done" Liberty said, coming in second, as she smiled at Tiyanna who was seated next to her. "It was easy, but I got caught up on a couple of questions" Liberty said to Tiyanna with a smile.
"Yeah, but I went over this at my old school" Tiyanna said smiling back. Liberty was always so nice to her; maybe if she stuck with her, she wouldn't have been in so much trouble. "Oh that's cool, how are you and the slut coming along" Liberty said with a straight face. Tiyanna couldn't help but laugh. Liberty said it as if that was her given name. "Ohh hell no, we aren't kickin it no more. I don't want to be around her, plus she fucked up my record, got me kicked out for 3 weeks and whatever" Tiyanna said shaking her head.
"Yeah, but you got good grades, so don't even worry about it. Just stay clear of trouble and you will be okay" Liberty said putting her name on the 4 'no homework' passes her and Tiyanna were given. "Yeah I know. But this is a relive, I don't have to worry about homework, since Miss. Taylor gives the most homework" Tiyanna added, while putting her 5 passes away. They then sat in the back of the class work, just talking and surfing the net.
Throughout the rest of the class period, Tiyanna and Liberty chatted, getting to know each other better. While the rest of the class did work. As the bell rang, they excited the room in a fit of giggles. "You got to be kidding me. Beyonce is so much better then Ciara" Tiyanna said with her folder in her hand. "Yeah, but Ciara can dance" Liberty said as they walked down the hall. "But, Beyonce can actually sing!" Tiyanna added. Then the two-some started giggling again. "Ok, you got me" Liberty said as they approached Tiyanna's locker.
Getting her Science folder, she closed her locker, as her and Liberty continued talking. "Watch where I'm going" Tiyanna said as Manny bumped into her. "Whatever" Manny replied, as she walked solo to where ever her destination was. Liberty giggled. "That was a good one" she added, as they headed off to science. "Thanks, just something that popped in my head" Tiyanna said, as she then saw Rick, who just happened to be a very close friend of Derrick's.
"What up Tee" he said opening his arms for a hug. "Hey Rick" she replied as they gave each other a quick hug. "Hey...Liberty right?" Rick asked. "Yeah, nice meeting you." Liberty replied. "The pleasure is mine Cutie" Rick said slowly licking his lips and winking at her. Standing in the middle of the hall, they chatted for a few more seconds, until Rick figured out that he was about to be late for class. "Well I'll see you around Cutie, and bye Beautiful" He said as she walked away. "He's very charming for a bad boy" Liberty added as they walked into the class room.
"Yeah, he's nice as hell" Tiyanna said as the science teacher started to speak. They had to do a project and were going to be paired up. They had to all do a project on the solar system. Tiyanna hoped she wasn't paired up with Manny and Liberty didn't want to paired up with anybody stupid. "Here are the partners: Tiyanna and Liberty, Manny and Chris, Toby and JT….." Liberty was glad that her and Tiyanna were going to be partners. It would be a fun learning experience. Since they were first on the list, they headed on to the computer lab. It was free this hour, so they could begin their research.
The rest followed along, as their names were being called. As they entered the computer lab, Tiyanna and Liberty began their research. "Let's do a project on a planet" Liberty said, as she started up the computer. "Yeah, lets do Saturn" Tiyanna said, stating the first planet that came to mind. As they accessed the internet they printed out some information, and in less then 30 minutes they were out of the lab. As they walked into the class room, they started to think of what they would use for the model of the solar system.
Soon enough it was lunchtime, and on the way to lunch Tiyanna ran into Theresa. This time, she smiled at waved at her. Tiyanna waved back, and sat down next to Liberty, as more people welcomed her back. It was her first day back, and it was going by pretty good. Until LaToya approached Liberty and Tiyanna, and took a seat. "I heard you and Derrick broke up" Toya said taking a chip out of Tiyanna's bag of chips. "Yeah" Tiyanna said sighing. She and Toya were pretty cool even though they didn't really hang out. That was only because she was too wrapped up in her boyfriend Dorian, to hang out with most girls.
Toya never really trusted any girls, the only person she would confide in was Tiyanna. And Toya was such a loyal girlfriend. She didn't like it that Tiyanna let her relationship fly away like it was nothing. "How you gon do that mami, just let ya relationship go away like that. But damn, first you let her lying ass get you kicked out, then you let her hoe ass make you and yo man break up" Toya added as she shook her head.
"What is you talking bout Toya?" Tiyanna asked. "Well, a week ago, Manny came ova top our table, and said that u was with Craig in an apartment alone, for an hour, and then after the party or in the middle… I really don't know. But anyways, he went back and stayed with you and what not. I don't see how you can just let go. Ya'll been through so much." Toya replied. "It's not me, it's him. He the one who believed her, talking about what his boys will say, and stuff like that" Tiyanna said getting angry. So it was Manny who told Derrick that bullshit.
"Yeah but you are…well…was Derrick's girlfriend. Don't you know that a woman usually keeps the relationship together? You made her happy Tiyanna, she trying to break you. You betta play fire with fire, or just ignore her antics. Because she damn sure succeeding" LaToya added as she looked at Tiyanna a bit disappointed. "I wanted to stay I really did, but damn he was saying all this shit to me, and I was just pissed off. Today I saw him, and I felt like running into his arms, and having him hold me. But I aint gon beg him, I guess I just gotta let it go and move on" Tiyanna said sighing.
"Well, do you mami, as long as your happy" LaToya said, getting up she said good bye to Liberty, and then made her way back to the table. "So Manny did this again?" Liberty asked trying to make sure. "Yup, and we broke up" Tiyanna said shaking her head. There Manny was across the room, by herself snacking on an apple, and looking through a magazine. "Damn, she has issues" Liberty said, looking through her notes. "We have a quiz the day after tomorrow, so we betta study. Fuck that hoe" Tiyanna said as she pulled out her notes. They studied for a bit more, and then made it out to the hallway. This time Manny tried to piss off Tiyanna once more. "Why you hangin with Liberty? Just apologize to me, and I'll take you back." Manny stated, with her hands on her hips.
"You must be joking. I'm not gonna be like Hazel or Ashley, and bow down to you, like they did to Paige. So you got it all twisted, you should apologize to me. But better yet, what comes around goes around heffa" Tiyanna said rolling her eyes. A crowd then started to form, and Tiyanna didn't want to get in any trouble, but she wasn't going to let Manny disrespect her like that. "Manuella, get a life. Try and do something else, besides sleeping around, giving head, and trying to make people's lives miserable. Or any other stupid activities you perform" Liberty commented.
"You are so funny, you just have low self-esteem Liberty" Manny added with a giggle. "Bitch I'ma show you low self-esteem, if you don't quit fucking wit them. I'll whoop yo ass, ya lil nasty ass hoe" LaToya commented stepping into the argument. "I'm not scared bitch, you know what I don't have time. Fuck you" Manny said flipping her hair. "No thanks bitch, disease filled ass" LaToya said rolling her eyes. "Don't stunt that hoe, she aint got shit else to do" LaToya said breaking the silence as they walked away from the crowd.
"I know, I don't have time. I know I'll whoop her ass, but it's all good." Tiyanna said grinning. She wasn't going to let the bitch break her. Not at all. Heading their separate ways, Tiyanna headed to music class, as LaToya went to Art, and Liberty the office: she was an aid this hour. Walking into the music room, Tiyanna grabbed her sticks and started twirling it around. Craig sighed, and smiled. "Hey Tiyanna" he said slowly. "Hi" Tiyanna asked as she got her drum. "I'm sorry, about the break-up. I shouldn't have stayed over so long" Craig said feeling a bit bad. But not that bad, Tiyanna was single, and that was a good thing.
"It's not your fault maybe it wasn't meant to be." Tiyanna said sighing. Setting her snare drum around her waist, she began to slowly practice. "How come Manny suck-a-dick Santos keeps messing with ya?" Craig asked grinning. "I really don't know, I guess only she can tell" Tiyanna said giggling.
In The Back Hallway
Derrick grinned as him and Emma and him entered the boys locker room, where she tried to perform oral sex on him a while back. But this time, Derrick led her there. He wanted to get some, and maybe it was just to get back at Tiyanna indirectly, but Emma was happy. She finally had the guy she wanted. Some work really pays off. "What made you decide to take up my offer?" Emma asked unzipping his pants. "I really don't know, I guess Things happen" Derrick said catching his breath, as he felt her mouth on his penis.
He was thinking about Tiyanna but he couldn't help it, his mind would go blank. But then he'd wonder how he'd feel if it was Tiyanna performing this act, rather than Emma. But Derrick just decided to relax, and forget about everything. And enjoy the hard work Emma was performing. Grinning he then said aloud "I hope you swallow".
