Scene 1: Degrassi Community School (Hallways). Morning

Adrian and Kristin are holding hands. Adrian is escorting Kristin to her locker with a smile on his face. She begins to open her locker and gather her things for class.

Kristin: I am pleasantly surprised how much you changed Ad.

Adrian: I just wanted things to be different this time. I'm just happy that we are back together.

Adrian leans in for a kiss, but Kristin hesitates and leans away.

Kristin: Remember we are taking things slow this time around. I don't feel like we should complicate things with titles.

Kristin can see that Adrian attitude has changed. Adrian becomes frustrated and walks away. Kristin closes her locker and follows behind him.

Kristin: Can we just talk about this Adrian?

Adrian pauses and turns around.

Adrian: What's the point, Kris? It's clear that you don't want a relationship with me. I know that I hurt you, but you don't have to keep punishing me for that. We're done.

Kristin tries to speak, but Adrian turns around and continues to walk away. Kristin looks around as some of the students begin to whisper. She takes a deep breath and proceeds to walk away.

London walks into Degrassi with her cup of coffee in one hand with shades on her face. Belle who has a stack of papers in her hands follows her. They arrive at Caleb who is at his locker not paying attention. London leans against the lockers and removes her shades.

London: Hey Honeybear! We have a lot of work to do if we want my party to be successful this weekend.

London points to Belle who hands a flyer to Caleb. He glances over the flyer then hands it back to her.

Caleb: I don't know what that has to do with me. I told you I'm trying to stay out of trouble and that means not attending parties.

London: You're my boyfriend. If you don't come, then I'll be all alone.

Belle: You'll have me London.

London rolls her eyes and signals, Belle, to leave.

London: I will promise there will be no trouble. It's going to be small.

Caleb: Ugh fine. I'll be there.

London streaks in happiness as she kisses Caleb. She continues down the hall placing her shades back on her face.

Jaylin: Don't forget to choose a partner and prepare to present what theme you found inside the selected reading.

Alicia walks over to Shay who is the last student in the classroom.

Alicia: Hey Shay. I was wondering did you have a partner for this assignment.

Shay: Did you want to work together?

Alicia: I still need a partner so that would be nice.

Shay: It's no problem, Alicia. We can meet at your house tonight and go over the selection.

Shay smiles and proceeds to walk out of the classroom.

London (frustrated): Everyone takes a break. Everyone needs to be focused.

The girls start to disperse. Belle walks over to Lewis who is drinking water.

Lewis: Can I help you?

Belle: London has a party tomorrow night, and I want you to be my plus one.

Lewis: Why me?

Belle: You're probably the funniest guy in Degrassi.

London: Can you stop being a creep?

Maxwell walks into her room and leans against the threshold.

Maxwell: Why do you have to be popular? You made it your mission since our parents got married to throw your dad's money around. Why can't you just be an average high school girl?

London: You think I wanted to be this girl. I use to be envious of you and your mom. Money didn't define who you were, but when people see me, they only see my money.

Maxwell: Maybe you should some them something different. Have fun at your party tomorrow night.

Maxwell closes the door to London's room.

London kisses Caleb. Lewis walks into the house followed by Adrian and Dev. Belle makes eye contact with Lewis and signals for him to come over.

Lewis (yelling): Imma be right back.

Belle: Just imagine if this was a date. I would probably kiss you right now.

Scene 9: Boarded House. Night

Shay is walking down the street until she reaches a boarded up building. The windows and doors covered with wooden panels. Trash covered the yard from people walking past and littering. Shay looks around to make sure no one is looking as she enters through the door. Shay walks into the living room.

Dust laid over every surface. Inside was grim and gloomy with torn curtains, broken floorboards, and the smell of mildew lingered throughout the empty house. Shay lights a few candles that reveal her mother passed out on the stained couch drunk.

She takes a seat on the pile of covers that covered the floor. She takes a deep breath as she realizes that this is her life now. She hears a creak in the floor. Alicia appears at the threshold. Shay is embarrassed, but Alicia takes in the surrounding speechless.

Shay: Alicia?

Alicia: I saw that you didn't go into the house, so I followed you here. Is this where you have been living?

Alicia moves further inside. She looks past Shay to see Ms. Myers sleeping.

Shay: Alicia can you please leave. This is not your problem to deal with.

Alicia: I can't just let you live in this place. This is not healthy.

Shay: I wish you would just mind your own damn business for once.

Shay storms out the house feeling ashamed.

Adrian: What is wrong with you? This is not you Kris.

Kristin: Isn't this what attracted you to Ivy?

The music stops, and everyone attention goes to them. Adrian looks around at everyone.

Adrian (whispering): Let's just talk about this in private.

Kristin: No! No! Let's talk about this in front of the entire school. Let's talk about how you cheated on me with a niner. You wanted a girl to have fun right, Adrian.

Adrian grabs Kristin by the arms and tries to pull away, but she breaks away.

Adrian: I'm not going talk to you when you're like this.

Kristin: Ran away like you do with all your other problems.

Adrian: I love you Kristin, but this, not the person I fell for.

Shay is sitting on the curb with tears in her eyes. Alicia slowly approaches Shay. She takes a seat next to her on the curb.

Shay: It's not your fault. It's just my mother has been down on her luck for a while now. I thought she would have got it together, but as you can see, she hasn't.

Alicia: You don't have to go through this alone Shay. Whatever you need, I am here for you.

Shay: Thank you.

Alicia lays her head on Shay's shoulder. Shay wipes the tears from her eyes.
