Episode 3 Poor Tiberius Part 2

(In the principal's office)

J.T.- (Wide-eyed, shaking) I didn't do anything. He had a knife, the obvious happened. I fainted, and now I'm here, and now I think I need to throw up again.

Mrs Hotsolakis- Do you know why he did what he did?

J.T.- Yes, I think so. But it's a bit personal.

Mrs Hotsolakis- I understand. I'll notify you when I find out about Toby.

J.T.- Thank you.

(He gets up and leaves, he goes into the hallway, everyone stares and starts talking and whispering. J.T. cries and runs home)

(Hallway)

Liberty- I can't believe something that brutal and horrible happened. Not only at Degrassi, but inside Degrassi.

Sean- Yeah, and to Toby. I just wanna know why.

Manny- (Overhears) Don't you know? Kendra. Kendra Mason. That's why.

Sean- What's she got to do with it?

Liberty- She's pregnant. It's all so clear to me now. She's pregnant with J.T.'s baby.

Sean- Wow. But what's that got to do with Toby?

Liberty- So Kendra and Toby were together for a long time. They were really in love, Sean. Toby found out and was furious. He wanted to…well…do what he did. But he wanted J.T. to witness it.

Manny- Smart girl.

(Manny gets tears in her eyes and walks away)

(On phone at midnight)

J.T.- I can't sleep. I end up having nightmares and seeing the moment happen over and over again.

Kendra- Just try. Please?

J.T.- Ok. But Mrs Hotsolakis called me and told me Toby's dead. I swear I'll try, but I don't think any "sleepy time" is going to happen anytime soon.

Kendra- See? You just said something humorous. You'll be fine. Thanks for trying. I love you, bye.

J.T.- Love you too. Take care of yourself. Bye.

(They hang up.)

(At school next day)

Hazel- So what are you gonna do about Manny?

Paige- Nothing. I haven't forgiven her, but I'm just never going to talk to her again. Same with Matt.

Hazel- Ok. Just tell me if you need me. I'm here for you, Paige. Always.

(At Ashley's house)

Craig- Ashley, you couldn't have done anything. It was his choice.

Ashley- Maybe. But Craig…my brother….he…he….

Craig- Ashley, you have to move on. He would want you to.

Ashley- I'll try. Thanks, Craig.

(At school)

Hazel- Guess what? Today, Spinner tried to talk to me. What a loser. I mean, can you believe it?

Paige- Hey! Nobody deserves to be called a loser. He was just in the wrong crowd.

Hazel- Paige, if you've forgiven that piece of trash, I don't know if we can be friends anymore…

Paige- Hazel I-

(Hazel walks away)
