FRIENDS FOREVER-Ellie

After Sean left, I couldn't wait to get out of Degrassi. Now that it's really ending, I don't want it to.

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25

My original plan was to follow Craig around like Jimmy said at the DOT that one day. But now I'm going to NYU, majoring in journalism. Just like everyone always thought would happen. Just like they all thought I wanted.

I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track

Craig left to Vancouver and I didn't follow him, obviously. So now there's no more band practices. No more Jimmy, Craig, Marco, and Ellie time. No more Craig and Ellie time before band practice when I'd "have to get there early because of mom's AA meetings."

And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down

My senior year wasn't anything special, or worth remembering. I fell in love, or developed a major crush on my best friends ex, only to be rejected for his ex, who just so happens to be the school slut. I had a chance to tell him how I felt but I didn't and now there's nothing I can do about it. And what makes it worse is that he's happy with her, even though he's still in Vancouver they're still together. But he's my best friend. And if he's happy then I'm happy. So here I am, the last few moments of high school, obsessing over a guy who will never like be back. I could've had Jimmy but I had to reject him because of Craig.

These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of the night in June
I didn't know much of love, but it came too soon
And there was me and you, and then it got real blue
Stay at home talkin' on the telephone and
We would get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

So I'm trying to forget him, after all with university next year I'll have to. I learned about love with Sean, and he broke my heart. And now everything I've been trying to forget, is coming back stronger than ever because of graduation.

As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change,
Come whatever
We will still be, friends forever

These kids have been so supportive of me through everything, most importantly my cutting.

So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule

By the reunion, I wonder if all our stupid inside jokes will still make us cry from laughing so hard, or if we'll still remember how to play euhre.

Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

Maybe Heather Sinclare will stop being so weird, maybe everything will be as it is now. But I know it wont be, and it's making me sad.

As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change,
Come whatever
We will still be, friends forever

So I'll look at my pictures, and flip through the yearbooks, and watch the mini movies I've made of us, and everything will be okay.

La, la, la la; yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, we will still be friends forever

We've been through so much together that it will be impossible to tear our friendship apart.

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

I get my diploma. Caps are thrown in the air. Ash came back and gives me a hug, and who should return, but Craig Manning. And he's with Manny.

As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change,
Come whatever
We will still be, friends forever

And while I didn't "get" the guy, I got him as my best friend.

As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change,
Come whatever
We will still be, friends forever

This school has made me, me. And I just can't believe that it's really over.

As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change,
Come whatever
We will still be, friends forever
