"Ashley!" said Paige the next day at school.
Ashley turned around "What do you want Paige?" she asked.
"Bardell is coming today…the great big soccer game! Dien is so going to harass me!" she
said.
"Just don't talk to him, stay clear away from him, I got to go to class" Ashley said as she
walked off.
The Bardell bus drove up to the Degrassi Community School parking lot, all the Bardell
students got out including Dien.
"So Jimmy, who are we playing against today?" asked Spinner in the guys' washroom.
"Bardell" he answered and he swiveled the soccer ball in his hands.
Spinner stared blankly in front of him.
Paige, Manny, Hazel and some other Degrassi girls were dressed up in their spirit uniforms.
"Hazel, I don't know what I should do!" Paige said.
Hazel looked at Paige "You ditched me, remember?" she asked.
"Yes, and I am so totally and completely sorry!" Paige said as she looked up the
driveway to Degrassi, Dien and some of his soccer mates where coming up to the field.
Dien spotted Paige, who he called Spirit and nodded. Paige looked at the ground.
The Degrassi soccer team rolled out onto the field along with Bardell.
The game ended with Degrassi: 14, and Bardell: 10.
Spinner scored the last couple of points and made Degrassi win, he was so proud of
himself. Kyla was on the side rooting him on. "Hey Kyla, like that game?" Spinner asked.
She laughed "I didn't like it…I loved it!" she kissed him of the cheek.
Paige saw that and ran into the school. Dien was at the water fountain, he saw Paige
standing up against the wall with a dirty look on her face. "What's wrong Spirit?" Dien
said as he walked up to Paige and stood in front of her
"Don't talk to me Dien, I warned you once. You didn't understand when Spinner told you
not to?" she asked.
"Spinner? That freak? Ha! Look Spirit, I saw some girl with him…I don't think he's yours
anymore!" he said.
"Hey Kyla come on, lets go into the school," said Spinner as he led Kyla into the lobby.
"Hey, I think I left my books in my locker, wanna guide me?" she laughed. Spinner nodded
in agreement.
"Spirit, you know you like me" Dien said as he started to kiss Paige. Paige tried pushing him
away. Spinner and Kyla walked around corner where Spinner saw Dien kissing Paige and
Paige trying to push away. Spinner leaped up and split Dien from not kissing her any more.
"What's your problem?" Spinner asked.
"Hey freak, she wanted it" Dien said.
"No, No, she didn't!" he said as she pushed him again. Dien pushed Spinner into Paige and
then left.
Kyla walked out of the lobby and caught up with Ashley and Terri. She had a spot of
jealously in her soul. What Spinner did for Paige just a minute go wasn't just helpful; he
really had something special in his heart for her. Spinner helped Paige up. "Spin, Thanks…
came to my rescue 2 times…I still feel like a loser!" she said.
"That's umm…okay…hey where did Kyla go?" he asked.
"She left, I saw her go out the door," Paige said.
Spinner rushed out of the door. He saw Ashley, Terri and Kyla go around the parking lot.
He ran up to them. "Kyla? Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, I just wanted to leave you alone with Paige" she said.
"Why?" he asked.
"I don't know, you guys just seem like you used to be some sort of a couple before I
moved here right? And what you did for her was really sweet, even when she called you a
rapist. I think you have a thing for her Spin, and I am not going to date you until you
figure out if that thing you have for her is real" she said. "But you know we can always be
friends. And I highly doubt that last nights date will be the last". Kyla kissed him and left
with Terri, and Ashley.
"So…you're not going to go on a date with me again?" asked Spinner directed to Kyla when
they were talking on the phone that night.
"Sure, I will, even if you decided to be with Paige…its just that you still have feelings for
Paige don't you?" she asked.
"Yeah, I guess so…umm…sure," he said.
"Alright then, But we will still be friends and hang out…and by the way, tomorrow don't
go telling your friends how I dumped you, because I didn't dump you. I am just not going
to go out with someone who still has feelings for some one else. Sort out those feelings
and then come see me" she laughed.
"Okay, look I gotta go," said Spinner as they both hung up.
