London: Cal wait up!

Caleb stops and turns around to face London.

London: Hey. I've been meaning to get in contact with you. How have you been?

Caleb: I'm good. Just trying to stay focus and get through my last year at Degrassi without any problems.

London: I am sorry about this summer. I know that we broke up because you wanted me to be free, but I was free. You made me feel free and I should have fought harder for our relationship.

Caleb: We made the right decision breaking up. It hurt, but because of that, I was able to find someone who makes me happy.

London: Well I'm happy for you. This girl must be special.

Caleb: Yeah she is. She's smart and loving. I want to be a better person for her because she deserves the best, after everything she's been through.

London: I can tell that you care about her. We should have dinner sometime…just as friends. I would love to tell you about Barcelona and school.

Caleb: I would like that.

Jack is walking down the hall when he notices Lily looking at the flyer. He slowly begins to approach her.

Jack: I wouldn't try out if I were you.

Lily has a confused look on her face as she looks at him.

Lily: Why?

Jack: People haven't forgotten what you did. The co-captain Ivy is a good friend of Dev and the best friend of Levi. You might be blamed for their breakup.

Lily: Why would you tell me this?

Jack: Don't want you getting hurt…like how you hurt others.

Jack walks away. Lily relooks at the flyer as she thinks about Jack's advice.

Ivy (teasingly): Must be nice having a boyfriend.

Shay places her flowers on the bleacher then proceeds to do her stretches. She exhales deeply as if she was stressed. Belle and Ivy look at each other wondering what was wrong.

Belle: Spill!

Shay looks at her friends with a look of misery.

Shay: I really like Maxwell…

Ivy (confused): That's a good thing. What's the problem with liking him?

Shay: I feel like he smothers me. The Roses… the backyard pool, I just think it's too much for me.

Belle: Maybe you should just try talking to him. Let him know how you feel.

Ivy: Sounds like he really likes you. Don't ruin something good.

Belle (cheerfully): Let's get this try-outs started!

Belle helps Shay up from the ground. Ivy looks over her shoulder to see that Lily is walking into the gym.

Ivy: Looks like trouble just came.

Caleb walks from the back to see that both girls are now in the Dot. He looks back and forth at each girl trying to decide whom to speak too. London waves at him and Kristin notice. Caleb takes a deep breath and makes his way to London.

Caleb: Hey London. I know I said we could meet up, but the girl I was telling you about is right over there and I think I should talk to her right now. She looks upset and I don't want her to think the wrong thing.

London looks over to see Kristin reading a book. She nods her head and Caleb walks off. Kristin places her book down and sees that Caleb is now sitting in front of her.

Kristin (saddened): I understand if you're over here to break up. London's back and I are sure you two are going to try to work things out. I don't know why I thoug—

Caleb leans over the table and presses his lip against Kristin, which stops her from talking. Kristin is taken by surprise from the kiss.

Caleb: Why would you think I would ever break up with you?

Kristin (saddened): London was your girlfriend last year. You two have history and I didn't think I could compete with her.

Lily: I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for telling your friend about his girlfriend baby.

Ivy stands up and walks closer to Lily.

Ivy: I don't believe that you're sorry. I think you are only apologizing because you want to be on the team.

Ivy turns around and walks off. The girl's arms are in a "V" formation and their fists are facing out. They begin to clap as they start to disperse in different areas. Belle and Ivy watch as the girls perform. The girls pair off into groups of four and perform a Double Thigh Stand.

Maxwell: I never thought I would find someone special. You totally get me.

Shay looks out how happy Maxwell, but she felt otherwise. She slowly begins to take the necklace off.

Shay: I can't take this.

Maxwell (upset): Why? I used our family's jeweler. He said it was the best.
