Author's Note: This story is based off of the rumors of someone going to jail in season six. I wrote this in July, so there are no Spoilers. It picks up pretty much where season five left off.
Eventual Spinner/Paige. Includes some Craig/Ashley and Toby/Kendra. Jay, Ellie, Marco, Amy and Towerz are involved as well.
Oh and I don't own Degrassi. Or any of the songs I'm using including the title by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Blah blah blah.
And when I see you
I really see you upside down
But my brain knows better
It picks you up and turns you around
8:25. She'll be here any minute.
Spinner Mason drove up to the bus stop. It wasn't just any bus stop, it was the place where he said goodbye to his girlfriend (well, maybe not anymore) Darcy Edwards earlier in the summer. She was headed off to bible camp to become a counselor, or something of that nature. Spinner sat in his car staring toward where the bus was supposed to pull up.
He tugged at the collar of his blue button up shirt - the same shirt he wore to his de-virginizing ceremony two months before. Who would have ever thought he'd be a virgin again? Not him.
Looking at the bouquet of daisies he'd bought for Darcy, he sighed heavily anxious about how she'll react. She did turn around to look at him, that is a good sign, right? She'll probably run to him, excited to see him! She'll be forgiving like he's known her to be, and take him back with open arms.
Who is he kidding? She has every right to be mad at him. He knows that she is a forgiving person, but he did really hurt her. He lied to her about who he had sex with, he also lied to her about making out with Paige behind her back. He figured that she'd probably never forgive him.
But then again, she assumed a lot of things. She assumed that Manny was the only person that he had sex with. Plus, the first time that he and Paige kissed, he and Darcy were broken up. Then, Spinner had every intention of telling Paige he'd rather be with Darcy, but he just couldn't do it. Paige lured him in like a worm at the end of a fishing rod.
But what if he liked that worm? What if he'd rather have that worm than the bland algae that he was used to. Spinner sighed realizing that maybe he'd just have to settle for Darcy the algae.
Not that he minded. After all, that same algae was the only algae who'd pay attention to him after the whole shooting incident.
Spinner shook his head with a confused look on his face. Since when does he compare his love life to underwater species?
Spinner was too lost in thought to even notice the big yellow bus in front of where his car was parked screeching to a halt. He was too deep in thought to even notice the other cars parked around him filled with parents excited to pick up their young campers. He watched as one by one, little kids emerged, all wearing the same camp t-shirt.
He watched intensely as he saw little kids running to their parents excited to see them. He chuckled to himself wondering how much longer those kids will actually like seeing their parents.
Then, the counselors started to emerge. He saw Linus and Kim, the leaders of the Friendship Club holding hands and gazing into each others eyes. He fake-gagged a little, he couldn't stand Linus.
There she was, Darcy. Her hair was braided into two parts, each side resting on her shoulder. She was wearing her yellow bible camp shirt like the others with jean shorts. She exited the bus looking around her as if she was searching for someone. Spinner hopes suddenly rose, he grabbed the bouquet and hopped out of the car, running towards her.
"Darcy!" He called to her, running up to her and pulling her into a huge bear hug.
"Spinner!" She sounded shocked to see him, he was glad she seemed to like the surprise.
A second later, Darcy pushed him away, looking hurt. Before Spinner could even think or react, he felt someone shove him extremely hard from the side. He turned and saw a tall guy with shaggy blond hair and eyes that looked like he could kill winding up to punch Spinner.
"What are you doing, touching my girl, punk?" The guy asked, not taking his menacing eyes off of Spinner.
"Your girl!" Spinner spat, feeling the anger inside of him starting to boil like a pot of water on a stove.
Just as Spinner was about to pounce on the guy, Darcy pulled him back and said, "Jon, it's okay. He's my ex. Let me talk to him."
Her ex? Spinner suddenly realized that things weren't looking too good for him. He watched the guy named Jon nod towards Darcy with a pained expression. Jon kept staring at Spinner as he walked away.
"Spinner, what are you thinking?" Darcy asked him, exasperated.
"What do you mean, Darcy? I'm here to see you." He answered softly touching her hand.
Darcy smacked his hand down and crossed her arms, glaring at him. "You cheated on me, Spinner." Darcy started, looking down. "That's something that I can't easily forgive."
"But you can, Darcy!" Spinner pleaded. "I said I was sorry.."
"Sorry just doesn't cut it right now, Spin." Darcy interrupted. "Plus, I've got Jon now," Darcy added sighing, "and he's probably the best thing that's ever happened to me. So just accept it. You hurt me, so now I'm with him, and it's over." She gave him one last look up and down and tucked a loose piece of hair behind her ears before she ran over to Jon. She hugged him, and they walked off hand in hand without even taking one backward look at Spinner.
"He's the best thing that's happened to me!" Spinner exclaimed out loud, still not fully understanding what happened the moment before. Spinner didn't even realize that he was talking out loud, because he then noticed an eldery lady standing with one of the little campers staring at him like he was about to bite their heads off.
"Uhh.. sorry." Spinner apolgized, handing the bouquet of daisies off to the woman. Spinner slowly trudged his way back to the car sulking.
He sat in the driver's seat of the car, just staring out into the distance the way he was a half an hour before. He felt more angry than upset, he was so overwhemled with emotion that he could barely get himself to cry. He figured that he should have this coming, and he didn't understand why he needed to get his hopes up.
But why was he so upset?
Suddenly, without thinking, he felt his hand switch the car into reverse. He backed out of the spot and drove off, not having a clue where he was headed.
And all the girls in every girlie magazine
Can't make me feel any less alone
I'm reaching for the phone
To call at 7:03 and on your machine
I slur a plea for you to come home
But I know it's too late
I should have given you a reason to stay
