Me no own Degrassi...

part seven

Emma

I walked into the Dot, which was pretty dead for a Saturday, sat down in 'our' booth, and slumped down in the seat. I let out a deep sigh, just as Spin walked up.

"Emma. Hey." "Hey Spinner."

"You look sorta glum today. Could it be about that PDA we all witnessed last night?" Spin sat down across from me.

"Kind of. A little, I guess."

"Look Em, you'll never get over it if you don't move on. And hey, Sean is your guy isn't he?" I smiled at Spinner's attempt to console me.

"Yeah Spin, but I'm just...so confused about things right now." We both eyed the day manager coming out form the back.

"Well, I'll come back to talk in a bit, as you can see, duty calls. Want anything? It's on me."

"Yeah, Spin, thanks. A chocolate shake." "Coming right up." Spin got up and hurried off to where he came from, leaving me alone with my tormented thoughts. I put my head on the table, leaving it there for more than a few minutes. When I sat back up, Spin was back.

"That bad huh?"

"That bad." He sat my shake beside me. "I'm breaking. And I'm spending my precious time with you, so start talking."

"Thanks, but, you aren't exactly the secretive type Spin. Sorry." I took a sip of the delicious looking beverage.

"What! Hell yes I can keep secrets! What do you mean?"

"Yeah," I grunted, "Like when you didn't tell anyone Marco's secret?" "Hey. I didn't technically tell anyone about that. Besides, that's old news. Everyone knew Marco was gay before he did." I couldn't help but giggle. Spin was a good guy when he wanted to be. I wonder what made Manny get over him so quickly. She never wanted anyone other than Craig. Remember stupid?

"Spill." Spin demanded, and I snapped back into reality.

"Spin. We barely know each other." "We know enough. We're not uber close, but we're friends. We also have two sleazy exes, who are now dating each other in common."

I broke down. I told Spinner all of it. From loving Sean to finding myself liking Craig. I left out the part about us kissing though.

"Wow. For once I am truly speechless. I mean, who would have thought sweet little Emma Nelson would be crushing on her best friend's guy?" I gave Spin a semi-dirty look. "Sorry. It's just...wow Em, this is huge." "Tell me about it." I muttered. "You want my advice?" "If you want to give it." "Don't go after him. Manny's your best friend. It'll kill her. Maybe literally. Sean's a good guy Em. Give him another chance. And if anything he told Jimmy and me last night as true, he really loves you."

I tried to take Spin's words to heart. I really did. Sure, Sean was hot and sexy beyond all reason, but Craig was unattainable rock star sexy. Sean was my first love, but Craig was one of my first friends.

"Em! Are you listening? Look."

I turned around, and sitting at a table a few feet away was Jay, and he had Sean with him.

Craig

Monday morning, the girls got into the car, overcome with giggles. "Hey. My two favorite babes.What's up?" I could have instantly clubbed myself over the head at saying that. Emma blushed, but Manny didn't notice.

"Good news honey!"

"What? What is it?" "Em and Sean are dating again." I blinked my eyes, suddenly awestruck.

"What?"

"We're not together officially,"

"Yet."Manny interrupted.

"Yet. We're just, going out." Em added quickly.

I snuck a look at her in the rear view. I couldn't believe it.

But I couldn't expect her to wait on me could I?

"I'm so excited! We should totally double one night this week. What do you think?"

I heard her, I just couldn't answer.

"Craig?"

"Yeah, yeah, that sounds great." Manny beamed, while I tried to catch another glimpse of Emma.
