Summary: Marco's eyes open to a bright new world....
PART 1- The Call
Marco walked into Degrassi and went straight to his locker, trying to avoid his ex-friend Spinner who, ever since he found out that Marco was gay, had been pestering him. At his locker, he met up with Craig and Jimmy.
"Hey Marco," Jimmy greeted. "Want to come with us after school to get some pizza? Paige, Ashley, and Terri are coming too."
Marco looked hesitant.
"Don't worry," Craig reassured him. "Spinner is not invited."
"But Paige is going," Marco remarked.
"Yeah well Paige knows how you and Spinner feel about each other at the moment and she cares about you a lot and because of her brother, she knows what you're going through and wants to be there for you," Jimmy explained. Marco smiled.
"I take that as a yes, you are coming with us, right?" Craig said. Marco nodded and Craig and Jimmy bid farewell to their friend as they went off to first period. Marco looked after them and waved, but as he did, he spotted Paige's sister Dylan at the other end of the hall. He looked away quickly, but not before Dylan caught Marco glancing. He quickly ran up to his, or what he thought was, his friend.
"Hi Marco," Dylan said with a smile.
"Oh… hi Dylan," Marco said shyly.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go hang out at the beach with Paige and I again this weekend. Jimmy and Spin aren't going, neither is Hazel. You can bring Ellie if you want."
"No… um… I don't think I can go. Sorry," Marco quickly said and then ran off without even closing his locker. Dylan stood there dumbfounded. Dylan's sister Paige walked up to her older brother.
"What's up?" Paige said watching Marco run away.
"I think Marco's scared of me."
"Why would he be scared of you?"
"Because he likes me."
"But if he likes you…." Paige was cut off by her brother's glare. "Oh… that kind of stuff." Dylan nodded. Paige just sighed. "Boys and their crushes." Dylan roughed up his sister's hair and walked away.
After school, Craig, Jimmy, Paige, Marco, Ashley and Terri all went to the local pizza place. They ordered pizza and talked while they waited.
"So are you two officially an item?" Paige asked Ashley and Craig.
"Um…" Ashley responded.
"Yeah. Yeah we are," Craig said while putting his arm around Ashley's back. Terri and Paige oooed and ahhed at the new couple. Marco just smiled. Jimmy remained silent. Even though Craig was one of his best friends, he couldn't get over how Ashley had changed. He somewhat supported their relationship, but really couldn't stand to see the two of them together.
Soon after Craig made the declaration of his relationship with Ashley, Spinner walked into the restaurant. He saw his girlfriend sitting with his friends, and Marco. He scowled at the group and walked over the counter to place his order. After he was done, he went over to sit by himself.
"Yeah act like a baby Spin," Ashley said.
"What was that Ash? Just because I don't like fags I'm a baby?" Spinner yelled back.
"Oh Spinner give it a break," Terri spat back.
Marco looked around. "Maybe I should leave," he said.
"No!" Paige exclaimed. "You are just as welcome here as Spinner is. Though, you're starting to get more and more welcomed than him." She shot a look at her boyfriend.
"Yeah I need to give it a break. You are the ones attacking me!" Spinner said and got up to get his food and left the restaurant.
"God, I wish this whole thing never happened," Marco said.
"Marco, don't worry about it. Spinner is just a dumb ass," Jimmy said trying to comfort his friend. But Marco knew there was only one person who could truly comfort him.
"Listen guys, it's been fun, well most of the time, but I gotta get home," Marco said and got up and ran out before anyone could stop him. He ran to a corner not to far away, and pulled out his cell phone. He dialed a not too familiar number and waited.
"Hello?" a voice came over the other end.
"Dylan? It's Marco…"
