At manny's locker
Emma see's craig
Emma: Manny, I gotta go, um, talk to my dad, see you in MI.
Manny: Yeah sure.
Manny takes one more book out of her locker and is about to shut it when Craig comes up behind her
Craig: Hey, Manny.
Manny: Hey. Um, how was your summer?
Craig: Nothing special.
Manny: Well, I guess it wouldn't be since Ashley was gone.
Craig: It had nothing to do with Ashley.
Manny: Then why wasn't it anything special?
Craig: How was your summer?
Manny: Just please answer the question, Craig.
Craig: Because there's been this girl who I couldn't stop thinking about.
Manny: And this isn't Ash?
Craig: It was never about Ashley.
Manny: I um, I have to go..nice talking to you again though.
Craig: Manny! wait please.
Manny: I'll see you at lunch, we'll talk then okay?
Craig: Yea, lunch.
they both start walking towards their homerooms
in MI Emma and Manny are talking
Emma: OMG! Manny, I told you he still loved you!
Manny: I don't know, Em..I don't want to get hurt again.
Emma: Manny, you'll just have to take a chance.
Manny looks away
in Ms. Kwan's room. She's going on about Shakespear
Jimmy: So how'd things go with Ms. Santos?
Craig: I don't wanna talk about it.
Marco: Ouch. That bad huh?
Craig: I don't think she'll ever fully forgive me for breaking her heart.
Jimmy: Ash did.
Craig: Ash would have gone out with almost anybody just to feel like she was cared about.
Marco: Craig, I don't think that Manny hates you. She's proabally afarid. And she may still feel guilty about getting the abortion.
Jimmy: Marco! You know Craig hates talking about that.
Spinner then walks in
Spinner: Sorry I'm late Ms. Kwan, I had to talk to Mr. Simpson.
Ms. Kwan: It's alright Gavin, go take a seat next to Marco.
Spinner passes Paige and smiles at her. She looks away with tears in her eyes.
Jimmy: I can't believe he's coming to sit with us.
Marco: We'll just ignore him.
Jimmy: Right so what were we saying...
Craig: You we're basically reminding that the only girl I've ever really been in love with killed my baby.
Spinner over hears this
Spinner: She still feels guilty, you know.
Jimmy: Spinner, shut up. No one wants to talk to you.
Craig: Jimmy, wait. Let him talk. I know he was with Manny last year Craig gives him a look and I want to know what he has to say.
Jimmy: Fine.
Spinner: Uh, thanks. Um, anyways she basically poured her soul out to me about how she still loves you, how she wishes she kept the baby and how she'll never forgive herself for killing it. Infact, she told me that the only reason that she even gave me a chance was because she wanted to prove to herself that she didn't need you Craig. But she still does. Did you ever go to her house?
Craig: Once but it was only to pick her up for a date..why did yo..spinner cuts him off
Spinner: Well one night, it was after we broke up, she called me over because she needed someone to talk to. She was in her room, middle of the afternoon, with the lights off and the blinds closed.
Craig: But Manny always likes the ligh..spinner interupted him again
Spinner: It was the I guess you could call it the 'annivsary' of her abortion. She was sitting on her bed, crying her eyes out, listening to 'Pretty Girl' by Sugarcult.
Jimmy & Craig: Why was she listening to sugarcult?
Marco: 'Pretty girl' might remind he of some things Craig, think of the lyrics.
Craig begins to sing
Craig: Its the way that he makes you feel. its the way that he kisses you its the way that he makes you fall in love...She's beautiful as usual with bruises on her ego...
Spinner: She was holding a picture it was black and white, and kinda weird looking. I'm not sure what it was of. Bur she sounded so dead. It wasn't like the Manny that everyone her at degrassi knew.
Craig: Spin, just tell me what she said.
Spinner: Oh right! She was like 'No wonder Craig's back with Ashley. Why would he want to be with a slut who he got pregnant and then ruined his dreams of being a family by being a baby killer. I'm just a toy to boys. They all think I'm some kind of slut because of what happened. I wasn't think at the time, all I knew was that I was in love. I still love him Spinner but I had to ruin everything and now he's back with Ashley and he proabally really loves her and they're gonna get married and have lots of kids and Ashley won't be such a stupid selfish slutbag bitch like me. She won't kill any of her children...evuntally all I'll be is a memory to him, not even a good one. I'll just always be the slut that killed his baby...' weird thing is, as she was saying that the song changed to 'Memory'. I think she might like Sugarcult.
Craig: She though I actually loved Ash?
Jimmy: You mean you didn't?
Marco: Come on Jim, it was so obvious. Craig was always looking at Manny.
Craig: So what else did she say?
Spinner: Nothing. She told me to leave and that it was a mistake, everything was a mistake, just like her. I tried telling her differently but then the song changed again, I guess she had a mix on and it was 'Screaming Infedialities'. I didn't know she Listened to Dashboard...
Craig: I introduced her to them. She really liked 'Hands down' I think it was her favorite...
Craig sounded as if he was going to cry. Just then the bell rang, signaling time for lunch
Craig: I'll see you guys later, I'm gonna go talk to Manny.
