Adrian: I'm trying to be here for you Kris. Have you talked to someone about what happened?

OPENING CREDITS

Scene 2: Degrassi Community School (Gymnasium). Morning

The Spirit Squad members are doing their stretches. Belle walks into the gym with a somber look on her face. Ivy notices this and makes her way towards Belle.

Belle: I just found out that Principal Nelson might have to cut the Spirit Squad.

Ivy looks at the girls behind her and tries to hide her disappointment.

Ivy: How could this happen? The Spirit Squad is one of Degrassi's best athletic clubs.

Belle: Apparently not… the last two captains didn't have any proper fundraisers so now we can't travel to compete, get new uniforms, or anything.

Ivy: Maybe it's not too late. We can have a car wash this weekend. Maybe we can throw a bake sale.

Belle begins to smile.

Belle: Thanks, Ivy. You are a lifesaver.

Ivy: Spirit Squad is not ending under our leadership.

The two girls hug. Belle turns around to look at the rest of the squad.

Belle: Let's start practice!

Belle grabs Ivy's hands and they run over to the others with smiles on their faces.

Scene 3: Degrassi Community School (Hallways). Morning

Jack, Jordan, and Alicia are walking down the hall. Jack walks pass Decker and their eyes meet with hatred. They reach their lockers. Jack slams his locker open.

Alicia: You should learn to ignore him.

Jordan: Let it go, Jack. Be the bigger person.

Jack looks at his two best friends as if they did not understand where his anger was coming from. He grabs his things, closes his locker, and walks off from the two.

Alicia: I just don't understand why Jack hates Decker so much. I understand Decker did some horrible things, but Jack is usually forgiving.

Jordan: Jack biggest problem is that he is too stubborn for his own good. I just hope he doesn't do anything he will regret.

Alicia shakes her head as she and Jordan walk away from the lockers.

Scene 4: The Ravine. Night

Jack is walking through the ravine looking around at the different groups of people. He continues to walk until he observes two people walking into the woods away from the central population. He trails behind them noticing that one of the guys was Decker.

Decker hands the guy something. The guy spots Jack and quickly runs off. Decker turns around to Jack and becomes upset.

Decker: So now I have you following me.

Jack: I'm not following you. I wanted to talk, but I was wrong. You're everything I thought you were.

Jack begins to walk off.

Decker: You think you know me! You never had to do things to survive because you had everything handed to you.

Jack: You think selling drugs should be your solution. If you want to change then you need to make it yourself.

Decker walks up to Jack and pushes him.

Decker: You don't get to judge me.

Jack turns around and looks at Decker.

Jack: I'm done with this. I don't care what you do, but if you ever come near my family again then we will have a problem.

Jack walks off leaving Decker there with a scowl on his face.

Scene 5: Degrassi Community School (Main Corridors). Morning

The Spirit Squad is in their uniforms walking around with pastries. Belle and Ivy are set up at a table collecting money from students who are purchasing cupcakes from the table.

Belle: This is going to help us save the squad for sure.

Emma walks over to the table with a smile on her face.

Emma: I'm glad that you didn't let the news detour you. This was a great idea and I'm happy to say that the Spirit Squad might just be saved. Come see me after school.

Belle: Thank you, Principal Nelson.

Emma walks away. Belle and Ivy shrieks in excitement.

Scene 6: JT Yorke Memorial. Morning

Kristin is sitting inside the memorial with a blank stare. Adrian knocks on the glass then proceeds to take a seat next to her.

Adrian: I just wanted to tell you that you are right. I should have never left you alone at that party. I was caught up in my own world and it ended up hurting you…something I never wanted to do again.

Kristin: It's funny how I keep thinking that you've changed, but you never do. Every time we broke up it was because of you. This time there is no going back. I spent two years on you and I will not spend another.

Kristin stands up and looks at Adrian. She kisses him on the cheek and walks out of the memorial. A tear falls down Adrian's eyes as he loses another person in his life.
