Cheers were heard louder and louder through the gym with chanting of cheerleaders and the basketball game shoes running back and forth.

Coach Armstrong clapped hard for his boys and called a time out.

The referee blew his whistle and signaled a 'T' as the teams stop playing. The boys gathered behind the lines.

Jay laughed hitting Sean's back "You got every girl out there checking you out man" Jay said and Sean chuckles sneaking a glance at Emma…

Not the one I want though…

Or so he thought, Emma and the girl sat down for a break and Manny giggles beside her "If you keep this up…Sean's going to go crazy" she said

Emma gave a confused look "what do you mean?" she questions tilting her head in confusion.

"I mean…Sean is so into you, whenever he makes a shot he looks at you" Manny laughs "It's so cute…he wants to impress you and you're not even looking"

"I would if I could" exclaims Emma "It's not easy being on the top of the pyramid and looking at him"

"Well…" Manny nudged her a bit nodding to the guys that got drinks before the game started back up "Here's your chance"

Emma bit her lip nervously and Manny laughs getting up and went with her. She went to Sean and opened her mouth to talk.

"Sean!" exclaims Paige with Darcy and Hazel going to him and Jay, touching his arms and everything.

Manny and Emma share a look and Manny sadly frowns to Emma who just shrugs and walks passed to go see Spinner.

Sean shrugged out of Paiges grip just in time to see Emma pass and go to Spinner, he sadly looks away and back at her as the other girls kept talking, not even caring if he wasn't listening.

The buzzer went off 10 minutes later and Degrassi won their game, cheering and running to each other as the crowd cheered hard and finally slowly left the gym to their cars for home.

The night was deep but still warm and Emma laughs with Manny and Darcy heading home "Want a ride?" Jay came behind and puts an arm around Manny

"Ew…you stink" she laughs with the girls and he smiled proudly

"There's a party at my house…you guys can get a ride from me" Jay shrugs innocently, Sean almost begged him to get Emma to go so here he was

The girls share a look and Darcy rolls eyes "Fine, Emma go…I'll keep mom and dad busy"

"Alright" Emma nods "We'll go" Jay smiled nodding with Manny and she yelps when he put her over his shoulder and walked to his car

"Jay!" Manny yells and Emma laughs going into the car.
