"So what'd you think about him Emma?" Manny asked.
School was out for the day and they were at Emma's house, getting ready to go out for the night. Emma brushed her hair as she replied, "That was not Sean at all! Did you see the clothes he was wearing? And his hair?"
Manny laughed. "See, I knew it."
"Knew what?" When Manny didn't respond Emma said, "Manny I don't know what's going through your head, but … Manny!"
"Emma, you still have feelings for him! That's what I think."
"Manny no I don't. How can you say that? I'm just shocked at his very different appearance!"
"I saw him talking to Ellie."
Emma put the brush down. "You did?"
Manny stared at her and then Emma began to brush her hair again.
"Yes, I did. And by the way Emma, I think you've brushed your hair enough."
Emma put the brush down and sat next to Manny.
"Do you think he still likes her?" Emma asked Manny.
Manny shrugged and opened a magazine. "Don't know."
Emma was thoughtful for a moment. If Sean had gone talking to Ellie, then it was a sure thing that he still liked her. Ellie didn't like him anymore, she now liked Craig….or did she?
"So, why this big change?" Ellie asked Sean as they walked on the beach.
"My brother was hired by this million dollar company and well he didn't want his brother looking like a homeless person…so he hired a stylist to give me a makeover. I didn't want to at first, you know. The hair, the clothes. But then I realized that I liked the way I looked and felt more comfortable…more looked upon…respected…popular…Do you not like it?"
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just…different…"
"I'm the same person you know."
Ellie didn't comment anything on that. She wasn't even sure of it. Sean looked different. He sounded different. He was a totally different person.
"Ellie!" Craig shouted. He was walking toward her with Marco.
Craig looked over to Sean. "Hey, you new?"
"I'm Sean man."
"Sean? Sean! Wow man I didn't even know that was you. You look so different."
Marco looked Sean up and down. "You look very nice."
Ellie laughed. "Marco…"
"I wouldn't have recognized you either," Marco said to him. "Wow…"
"Marco, stop!" Craig said. He shook his head. "You scare me sometimes."
"Hey guys!" Manny and Emma cried.
Ellie rolled her eyes as she saw the whore make her way to Craig.
"How's it been going?" Manny asked Sean as soon as she was done kissing Craig.
Oh no, so now she was hitting on Sean too?
"Good," Sean replied
Ellie cleared her throat. "Anyone want to play volleyball?"
"I do!" Manny squealed. "Come on Craig, lets go." She took Craig's hand and pulled him off toward the volleyball net.
"Ugh!" Ellie rolled her eyes. "I can't stand her!"
"It'll be okay El," Marco said encouragingly.
"Degrassi is different," Sean said to Emma as they sat on the sand of the beach. The sun was setting, with a beautiful color of red, orange, and purple. Sean was making figures on the wet sand as Emma looked up at the sky.
"You're different."
Sean smiled at Emma. "You're different."
"Really? Mature…maybe?"
Sean laughed. "Me?"
"Yes. Very…me?"
"Hum…"
Emma knew that they were flirting and she liked it. She playfully pushed him. "So Sean…any girls while you were gone?"
"No, not really. None that caught my attention….it's like I was stuck here in Degrassi."
Emma was praying that the word Ellie wouldn't come out of his mouth.
"Emma! Emma! Sean! Come on! You guys have to play!" Manny ran over to them, shouting that they should go and join their game of volleyball. Giggling, Manny took Emma's hand and pulled her up. The same she did with Sean. "We need you guys. We're getting out butts kicked!"
We should meet up again tomorrow," Emma said to Sean as he walked her to her house.
"Yeah, we should. That would be nice."
"Okay. So I'll see you tomorrow then?"
Sean nodded. "Tomorrow."
"Okay…" Emma was hoping that he would kiss her.
"Ah, Sean where are your manners?" Sean said out loud but to himself. Emma smiled and he leaned down and gave her a peck on the cheek. But Emma wanted more so she put one hand on each cheek and pressed her lips on hers. She was very glad when Sean kissed her back.
