Dev: Hey Adrian…don't forget to get your prom tickets. Prom is tomorrow fellas!
Dev continues to sprint pass them. Adrian looks over to Lewis who is trying to avoid eye contact.
Adrian: I thought we agreed not to go.
Lewis: I wasn't, but now that Belle and I are back together she is forcing me to come.
Adrian: I guess I'll be spending Friday night alone.

Mrs. Everett turns her daughter back to the mirror. She places a pearl necklace around Kristin's neck.
Mrs. Everett (emotionally): This necklace was your grandmother's most cherished piece of jewelry. I know that your father would have wanted you to have it for your special night.
Kristin: It's just prom.
Mrs. Everett: I'm just so happy that you've finally found a place you fit in. I know that it's been hard for you to make friends because of your father's army duties, but he loves you and I love you.
Kristin: I love you too Mom.
Kristin's mother gives her a loving embrace as the doorbell rings.
Mrs. Everett: I better get that. It might be Caleb.
Mrs. Everett runs out the room with excitement. Kristin begins to walk down the stairs where she notices Caleb standing there with a corsage in his hand. A smile comes across Kristin's face. Mrs. Everett pulls out her phone and begins to take pictures of the couple. Kristin is embarrassed by her mom's actions while Caleb finds it to be entertaining.

Dev: Welcome to the Enchanted Degrassi's Garden.
The music begins to play as the couple file into the room. Dev eyes gaze over to Ivy who is making her way to the gym with a stunning gown on. He is taken by surprise with his reaction to her beauty. Ivy approaches him with a smile on her face.
Dev (captivated): You look beautiful tonight Ivy. I mean you look beautiful everyday…tonight is no exception. I'll stop talking now.
Ivy: Thank you Dev. I appreciate the compliment.

Scene 5: Degrassi Community School (Bathroom). Night
Levi runs into the bathroom with tears in her eyes. She goes to the wall and slides down to the floor. Ivy quietly enters not wanting to upset Levi anymore than she probably had. She inches closer to Levi and takes a seat on the floor beside her friend.
Ivy (worried): What's going on with you Levi? You haven't been acting like yourself for months.
Levi: How would you know Ivy? You have been so busy with Student Council and the Spirit Squad. Ever since this year started I feel like your popularity has been your main concern.
Ivy: That's not true!
Levi: Yes it is and you know it is. Popularity has always been your main priority for the last three years. I feel like I don't fit in with your new friends. When I lost the baby…it felt like I started to lose my best friend. I needed you and you weren't there.
Ivy (apologetically): I am so sorry that I haven't been there, but I want you to know that you will always be my best friend Levs. No matter how popular you think I am, I will always be there for you if you need me.
Ivy places her heard onto Levi's shoulder. Levi smiles as she feels reassurance. Alicia storms into the bathroom with fear on her face. Ivy and Levi rise to their feet with puzzlement.
Scene 6: Degrassi Community School (Hallway). Night
The girls make their way out of the bathroom to see Emma and other faculty members directing students out of the school. The hall is filled with students who have panic looks on their faces as they hurry out the building.
Ivy (concerned): What's going on?
Alicia (scared): They said it was a gas leak coming from the boiler room.
Levi begins to search the halls as fear overcomes her.
Levi (panicky): Where's Dev?
Ivy begins to look around. She quickly makes her way towards Emma.
Alicia: Think about the event. She's here and can help.
Emma: I haven't seen him. Once I got the call, I began evacuating the building.
Ivy quickly runs down the hall. Alicia and Levi try to follow behind, but a teacher prevents them from following her. They are escorted out of the building.
Scene 7: Degrassi Community School (Science Lab). Night
Jack and Decker enter the empty science lap. Jack looks around the room.
Jack: Do you smell gas?
Decker walks closer to Jack. He begins to inhale deeply through his nose trying to see if he would smell anything.
Decker: I mean we are in a science lab.
Jack: I guess, but why did you want to talk in here.
Decker (softly): Because…
Decker walks closer to Jack, he leans in and begins to kiss Jack who is taken by surprise. Jack pushes Decker back, which causes Decker to become embarrassed.
Jack (upset): Why would you do that?
Decker: I don't know…I guess I wanted to see if the first kiss meant something. I'm confused, Jack! I don't like guys, but I have these feelings for you and I don't know what any of this means.
Jack is about to speak, but Jaylin walks in with a look of concern.
Jaylin: You two need to make your way out of the school.
Jack (confused): What's going on?
Jaylin: There's a gas leak and we just need everyone out the building. Jack, you probably should find Emma before she gets too worried.
Jack nods his head as Jaylin make his way out of the classroom. Decker looks to Jack then quickly and quietly makes his way out of the class. Jack takes a deep breath feeling frustrated and leaves out the lab.

Kristin: I'm not sure.
Kristin glances over to see Lewis standing with Adrian and Belle. The couple proceeds to walk towards their friends.
Caleb: What's going on with the school?
Lewis: They said it was some type of gas leak.
Caleb pulls Kristin to the side.
Caleb: I wanted this night to be perfect for you.
Kristin: This night is perfect because I'm with you.
Caleb smiles and leans in to kiss Kristin. In the distance, we see Adrian getting upset at the sight of the couple.
Scene 9: Degrassi Community School (Boiler Room). Night
Ivy runs down the hall to see that Dev is headed towards the boiler room. She calls his name as she snatches off her heels and quickly sprint in front of him preventing him from going in the room.
Ivy (fearfully): Are you crazy? There is a gas leak inside of that room. I'm not letting you go in there.
Dev: I need to make sure this is the best prom at Degrassi. If that means going inside there and putting a stop to that leak then I will.
Ivy: Remember what you told me a few weeks ago. About making sure that I'm not overworked…well, it goes both ways. We can still make this a good Prom, but I need you to trust me.
Dev smiles and gives Ivy a hug.
Scene 10: Degrassi Community School (Outside). Night
Music begins to play loudly. Students begin to look around puzzled not know what was going on. Dev and Ivy run out of the school.
Dev (over the microphone): Prom is not over Panthers!
Ivy turns the music even louder. Students slowly begin to dance and have fun. Jordan notices Jack with Decker dancing and laughing. He turns around to see Harvey standing behind him with an upset look on his face.
Harvey (unhappy): You've been watching Jack ever since he came out of the school with Decker.
Jordan (chuckling): No, I haven't. Why would I be doing that?
Jordan tries to grab Harvey's hand, but Harvey lets them go.
Harvey (seriously): Do you think I'm blind Jordan? I always knew that Jack was important to you, but I had this thought that I could be that person that makes you feel the way he makes you do.
Jordan (voice breaking): What are you saying, Harvey?
Harvy (sadden): I'm saying that I can't be with you when you want to be with him.
Harvey slowly walks away with tears in his eyes. Jordan stands their tearing up himself. He tries to keep his composure and walks away.
Adrian is sitting alone on a bench when Kristin takes a seat beside him.
Adrian: You look beautiful Kristin.
Kristin: Thank you Ad.
Adrian (voice breaking): I never meant to let you down, Kristin.
Kristin: You didn't let me down Ad. You helped me see that it was more to school then being smart. If it weren't for you I would have never become Student Council President or even made friends. Our relationship wasn't the best, but I still wouldn't trade my experience.
Adrian: I wasn't there for you like I should have. I know that now.
Kristin: Stop. What happened to me wasn't your fault. I forgive you, Adrian. I want you to know that.
Caleb approaches the two with a cup in his hand. He hands it to Kristin who stands to her feet. She places her hand on Adrian's shoulder and smiles as she walks away with Caleb.
