disclaimer - again. no ownership of degrassi here.
As Friday afternoon turned to Friday night, and Friday night turned to Saturday morning, Ellie's level of anxiousness towards the day ahead of her sky rocketed. She had gotten three hours of sleep, and 10 hours of thoughts, most of them admittedly negative. She couldn't begin to fathom why she was nervous. She had talked to Paige before, of course this was before she fell in love with her. She thought of the days of Hell Hath No Fury. Even when they were in a band together, she didn't converse with the girl that much. Paige mostly talked to Hazel and Ashley. Ellie with Ashley, which left them to be nothing more than aquaintances. When they lost the battle of the bands to Craig, the band decided to break up. Ellie often tried to pin point the exact moment Paige started to steal her affection. She honestly didn't know. She remembered watching Paige as she sauntered down the hallway with Hazel. Occasionally her gaze would fall lower than appropriate, and Ellie would shake it off, pretending it didn't happen. She remembered the day she admitted to herself that she was gay...
When she joined Craig's band, she thought herself to have a crush on Craig, that is until the day Manny and herself had gotten into a very public arguement. When Manny was walking towards Craig,Marco,and Herself, her mouth dropped. Marco had thought it to be anger, because she liked Craig. In truth, however, she couldn't take her eyes off of the flirtatious brunette, simply because she was stunning. She snuck looks at Manny for the rest of the night, and when Craig had brought her onstage to dance with him, and she turned at just the right angle, blowing her skirt a little too high, she had smiled at the glorious view. That was when she realized she had a thing for girls. In her anger at admitting to herself that she thought Manny was cute, she threw a drumstick at the girl.
Again, it was thought to have been out of jealously.
She later realized that when she saw a good looking guy with a girlfriend, she was more interested in the female, and that she didn't like Manny, even if her good looks were obvious. Eventually her interest in guys sizzled out completely, and she was left with the obvious truth : That she, Ellie Nash, was a lesbian. She wasn't ashamed, but she wasn't ready to step out of the closet just yet, and that was where she still was now. Ellie's attraction to Paige had started with looks,but eventually grew into a love stronger than anything Ellie had ever witnessed, even when she was with Sean. The first rays of morning sunlight squeezed through the blinds, and Ellie dragged herself out from underneath her maroon bedsheets. She looked at her alarm clock and saw that it was only 6:15. She had an hour til detention started, and plenty of time to take a shower and get ready. Hopefully i'll be able to get rid of these dark circles ,she thought as she rubbed her eyes. As she walked into her bathroom,and turned on the shower her thoughts strayed to the sassy blonde once more. She waited for the water to get hot enough before removing her pajamas and stepping into the steaming waterfall.
Paige Michalchuk looked at the beautiful, sleeping brunette beside her. She was gorgeous when she slept. Paige felt an arm wrap around her waist; Alex was now awake.
"You know, it's kinda weird when you stare at me while I sleep", Alex mumbled tiredly.
"Sorry,hon" Paige apologized, though she wasn't sorry at all.
Alex softly pressed her lips against Paige's.
"I forgive you", she said, pulling her girlfriend closer to herself.
Paige sighed contently as Alex left a trail of sweet kisses along her neck before capturing Paige's mouth with hers once more. Alex's tongue traced the other girl's lower lip, begging for access. Paige eagerly obliged. Their tongues tangled passionately until Alex finally pulled away with a satisfied smirk.
"As much as i hate to say it, babycakes, you're going to be late for detention if we don't put a stop to this now." She gave her girlfriend a quick peck on the theeck and hopped out of bed.
"Tease", Paige called playfully before getting up herself.
Alex was dressed in no time, her hair thrown up carelessly. Paige slipped into some hip hugging jeans and a plain white babydoll tee.
"I've gotta go, don't want mommy's boyfriend getting mad", Alex said sarcastically. Paige cringed.
"Don't talk like that!"
"Don't worry, I'm sorry, I'll be fine.", Alex consoled Paige, placing her hands slowly on the worried girl's hips, and softly kissing her forehead.
"Now, you really have to go. You don't want Mrs.H freaking out."
"Ugh, don't remind me", Paige exclaimed.
Alex smiled at Paige affectionately,then turned around to grab her things.
"Bye,hon. See you at work" Paige said.
"Bye,have fun!" Alex replied sarcastically.
Ellie briskly walked into her school where she was greeted by her principal.
"Well,well, Miss Nash. Welcome to detention."
"Yeah, thanks"
"Mrs.Michalchuk isn't here yet, but you two will be cleaning the cafeteria. So, can you get started here?"
"No one is staying to supervise?" Ellie asked, Wow! No one but me and Paige! she thought hopefully.
"Ellie, you and Paige are seniors.You will be graduating this year. I think you can clean a lunchroom without a chaperone. Am i wrong?"
"No Ma'am."
"Great. So i'll come back to che-"
"Sorry I'm late" Paige interrupted, seemingly out of breathe.
"As i was saying, I'll be back in a few hours to see how it's coming along. And if you're done, to give you a new task" Mrs.Hatsalakos walked away, leaving the teens with 2 mops,a bucket of mucky water, and other assorted cleaning supplies.
"We better get to it", Paige sighed.
"What? Oh, um, yeah." Ellie stammered.
The girls each grabbed a mop and started to clean the floors. They each went to a different side of the room, and agree to meet in the middle. Paige was doing her side considerably faster, as Ellie found herself stopping to steal glances at the gorgeous girl standing only a few feet from her. Why did she have to wear those tight jeans, now i'll never concentrate. No! Ellie, mop. You can't let her catch you drooling. She scolded herself, subconsciously bringing her hand to her mouth to wipe away the non existant drool. She barely even noticed Paige stop moping.
"You're supposed to be mopping", Paige said impatiently.
"Sorry. I - uh - i got distracted."
"There's not a whole lot to distract you here,hon"
"Right. Well, i'll work faster."
Paige didn't reply. She was too busy being confused. This wasn't the same Ellie she was in a band with. This wasn't the same Ellie who used to snap back at her, nor was it the girl whom she forced to see the school psychologist when she found her cutting herself years back. Maybe she was just tired. It was early. Wait, Why should she care? She shook it off and continued to mop her side of the cafeteria. She looked over at her detention mate, and was surprised to find her looking at her as well.
She's so weird ,Paige thought.
She's so beautiful, Ellie thought.
