Chapter 2
"Liberty?" a voice said, "Hey Libs, wake up!"
Liberty's eyes slowly opened to a concerned JT. JT looked a bit surprised that Liberty actually slept during homeroom. Liberty wasn't the type to sleep in homeroom, it was usually the other way around; she would wake JT up from sleeping in homeroom.
"You okay?" JT said, "You slept the entire time."
"Yeah," Liberty said yawning, "I'm fine, thanks JT."
"Okay, well you missed some important news in the announcements," JT said smiling.
"What?" Liberty said staring blankly at JT.
"Were having pasta surprise for lunch and that the school library won't open until Thursday," JT said jokingly.
"That's it?" Liberty said.
"Yep," JT said.
Liberty managed to laugh a little and playfully pushed JT's shoulder. JT chuckled. They had stayed good friends after last year. They didn't talk much about last year. They dealt with it on their own. It was in the past and now they were seniors. It was a whole new year for them, their last year at Degrassi. Sure, they'd joke and hang out with each other, but there was still something missing between them.
The bell rang again and the other students were getting ready to go to their next classes. Liberty got up and started to walk to Mrs. Kwan's class. She felt someone touch her shoulder and knew who it was.
"Liberty, are you sure you're fine?" JT said.
"Yes, JT," Liberty said, slightly annoyed at him.
"I was just wondering because Manny told me you didn't feel well yesterday," JT said.
Liberty, who was walking with JT walking a few steps behind her, stopped and turned around to look at JT. They were near the door to Mrs. Kwan's classroom. You could tell he was trying to find out was wrong with Liberty by the way he looked at Liberty. It was like his eyes were digging deep into Liberty's eyes searching for an answer.
"Manny told you what happened?" Liberty asked.
"Well, yeah," JT said, "I really think you should talk to someone who can help you."
"You know, I can handle this by myself," Liberty said, "I've talked to Ms. Sauve."
"That's good," JT said encouragingly, "But Ms. Sauve is a school counselor… she really doesn't know much about the situation you've been in."
"JT don't tell me I need more therapy," Liberty said, "Because if it's anyone who needs more therapy, it's you."
Liberty walked away angrily leaving JT alone, and walked into Ms. Kwan's classroom. JT sighed, looked at his watch, and hurried to his next class.
