Emma glanced at her mother.

"Mom?" She said.

"Yes Em?" She said.

"I think we need to talk." Emma said

"Whats wrong?" Spike asked.

"I am sure I'm suffering with depression. I need help." Emma said,

"We will call right now." Spike said as she sat down at the table.

"Hello yes i need to make an appointment for my daughter Emma Nelson. She thinks she maybe suffereing from depression….yes?' Spike said. "Totally, today at 1pm yes we will be there. Thanks for fitting us in so soon." Spike hung up and glanced at Emma. "Are you ready?"

"Sure, I'm going to take a shower." She said.

"Ok hun, I'll make us all some lunch." Spike said. She glanced at Sean. "Want to help me?"

"Sure." Sean said. Jack came running in.

"Hi?" He said glancing at Sean.

"Hey buddy." Sean said picking him up. "Hes getting so big." Sean said.

"Isn't he?" Spike said. "They grow fast."

"I bet, bet you feel the same about Emma." He said.

"You have no idea, since having her so young I never thought life would fly." Spike admitted. "Enjoy even with everything that gets thrown at you." She sighed. "Wish I could go back now. But being a teen mom my life changed."

"Yea shooting has changed all of us." Sean said.

"Don't let it, he's gone Sean." Spike said. "I try to tell Emma this, but I don't know its hard."

"Shes stubborn," Sean said laughing. "But I'm getting better."

"Ask for help." Spike said. "Go with us, ask for help yourself ok?"

"Ok." Sean said still holding Jack. Spike finished up lunch started serving it. Sean placed Jack in his highchair and played peekaboo with him. Emma walked out laughing at him.

"Awe youd make such a great daddy." Emma teased.

Spike glanced at her. "Don't get any ideas Emma."

"Mom aren't you so funny." Emma said as she took a seat next to Sean. "I'm so hungry."

"Well then lets eat." Spike said. Jack kept eyeballing Sean for some reason. Spike had to laugh. "Watch out Sean."

"What?"

"He is about to throw his lunch at you." Spike laughed. "Thats his look."

Sean dodged the flying food just in time. He couldn't help but laugh. "Hes got an arm."

Jack giggled and looked at Emma. Emma dodged and joined Sean in laughing. It was to funny they couldn't help but laugh.

They all finished up and got ready to head to the counselor. Sean went along and decided hed ask for help himself. He knew he needed it.

Jay really screwed up now. This was no way fixing this. He knew Sean would spread all the lies. Would he? He could text and ask but he knew he was better of not. Jay made his way to the ravine as usual. What else was there to do. Not to mention it was about to get interesting once Sean opens his mouth. Alex was already there as usual.

"Whats wrong with you?" Alex asked

"I told Sean." He said.

"Told him what?" She asked.

"umm that we did the prank." He said.

"Are you a moron there goes our year." Alex sighed. "We may as well not even bother going to school tomorrow." She said.

"I don't know if he will say anything."

"Well now what?"

"We go and see what happens?" Jay said.

It had been one hell of a day for Sean. He can't get over what Jay had told him. He kept that to himself. He was not sure at all what to do yet. All he wanted was to fall in his bed and go to sleep. He got squeezed into a spot while Emma was at the counselor herself. He seemed alot better so far. Minus the Jay deal. But right now he wasn't even going to deal with that. Emma was giving a script to help her. But he wasn't as bad as she was. Emma told Sean some of what she told the counselor. Which Sean couldn't even believe she had been feeling for this long. Well Sean decided he was heading to bed. He texted Emma told her have a wonderful night and he'd see her in the morning. He was hoping maybe he could sleep for once.

Emma was laying in bed. She actually felt amazing for once. But tired at the same time. She was also given some sleep pills to help her since she has had such trouble. Tomorrow would be her first day of school and also the first time taking cymbalta. She wasn't sure yet how this would even make her feel. So she was nervous as ever to even take it. But she would soon find out. She glanced at the text Sean sent her and smiled. She texted him back quick and told him good night and see him in the morning. Emma took a pill and turned on some tv for awhile. She drifted off watching tv. She woke up to her alarm going off. She couldn't even get over it was already 6am. She slept the whole night for once. She was amazed. No nightmares no nothing. She got up jumped in the shower. She got out got dressed put her makeup on. She made her way downstairs. Her mom had breakfast all ready. She also had Emmas pill ready to.

"Here hun." Spike said.

"Thanks mom." Emma said sort of scared to take it. "Hope this helps and doesn't make me worse." She admitted.

"Hun just give it a try ok?" Spike said. "Also Em, you can tell me anything you know. The counselor didn't tell me anything I promise."

"Thanks mom. When I feel able to I will." Emma said. She swallowed the pill and ate her breakfast. She heard a beep. "Have to go, Seans here." She said and headed out the door. Emma smiled and got in his car. "Ready for today?" She asked.

"Not really." Sean said laughing. "Its degrassi, who knows what is instore this year."

"Right?" She said laughing. They made it to school. Emma felt a bit odd. She felt like she was in outerspace. Emma found her locker which Sean followed her.

"Are you ok?" He asked her.

"Just trying to get used to the script they gave me." She said. "Makes me feel odd."

"Give it time, you'll get used to it." Sean said. Emma smiled at him. "Anyways I'll catch you later ok?"

"Sure going to go find Manny anyways." Emma said.

Jay and Alex stood outside waiting nervously to go in. They weren't sure if Sean had said anything. But they had to go find out. They both headed in to find Sean coming towards them. He didn't really look pissed or anything. But Alex and Jay glanced at one another not sure what to think.

"Hey." Jay said.

"I won't say anything to anyone. But you have to promise this shits ending." Sean said. "I mean the picking on others and pranks that have gone way to far."

"Yea trust me I"m done with that shit." Jay said. "But I can't guarntee a total 360 where I become the best well behaved person on the planet." He joked.

"Funny aren't you?" Sean said smiling at bit. "Anyways what have you been up to?"

"Not much really. Yourself?" Jay asked.

"Hanging with Emma." Sean said.

"Have you asked her out yet?"

"No not yet, taking it slow."

"Don't blame ya." Jay said. "What you doing at lunch?"

"Sitting with Emma."

"Well guess I can get used to her." Jay joked. "Alex?"

"No issues with me." Alex said. "I'll give her a shot."

"Thanks Sean." Jay said. "It means alot."

"Hey everyone makes mistakes, I'm willing to let it go."

Well the 1st day was underway. So far all were catching up. It was degrassi so everyone knew something new was on its way. But what would this years new shock be? Everyone of course knew their would be a few new students, but besides new students what else does degrassi have up its sleeves as usual? Well they were all about to find out.

Emma sat at her desk waiting for the morning announcements, she glanced back at Manny and smiled. "So what are you doing tonight?"

"Nothing you?" Manny asked.

"Not much." Emma said. But befor Manny could say anything else the tv turned on and there stood raddich. Emma smiled always excited to see what was coming for this coming year.

"Good Morning DEGRASSI, Welcome back everyone. This year will be full of excitement lets hope for a wonderful year. Anyways we do have some changes this year. For one we are going to be have a new uniform like dress code."

Emma rolled her eyes as everyone else sighed. This was not what they wanted, with all that happened last year they just wanted to get back to normal as much as they could.

"Yes I'm aware as I said that you all sighed and rolled your eyes. Probably even threw a paper at the tv. But please understand this is for many reasons. Yes alot because of last year. We aren't going to where you have to wear outfits. Its going to be a nametag with colors that will show all what grade you are in. This is a way to hopefully make everyone feel safer at degrassi. We promise that we won't go as far as the outfits unless it comes to that. But for now its the name tag. Grade 7's are Green, 8's blue 9

s reds grade 10 will be black grade 11 will be pink I apologize guys, and grade 12 will be yellow. Please homeroom teachers pass these out now. Also as I finish up for now we are starting elections for presidents vice president, secretary etc today. So please sign up now. Remember grade 7 and 8 will be combined as usual as 9-12th will be together. So please anyone in grade 7 or 8 can run for president to represent the 2 grades, as anyone in grade 9-12th can represents grades 9-12th. Come to the office to sign up. We will be signing up until Friday morning. Then Friday afternoon we will announce who is running and you can start working to be president."

Emma glanced down at her tag. Pink wasn't to bad of a color for her anyways. But she glanced at Sean and couldn't help but laugh. "You will good." She said with a smirk.

"Aren't you just so funny." Sean said as he laughed. "At least its just a name tag. Anyways you going to try to run for president?"

"Maybe, I'm thinking about it." She said. "Liberty is so got some competition already. Plus grade 12's will totally win."

"You never know until you try."

"Well I guess I will try." She said.

The bell rang and all students headed out of the classroom gossiping about these name tags and how much they all hated them already. This year was already off to a great start.
