Sorry this took a while; I was pondering who to make this chapter about. And, I've come to a conclusion… Spinnel! (Hazel/Spin.) D It's a side story, so bare with me, 'kay? The song is Tell Him – Celine Dion. Next chapter will be Cremma, so I will be expecting five more reviews for that chapter to be put up! XD I'm evil, I know.


Chapter Four: You Want Him: You Can't Have Him.


I'm scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak
If I tremble when I speak
Oooh - what if
There's another one he's thinking of
Maybe he's in love
I'd feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I don't know what to do

I've been there
With my heart out in my hand
But what you must understand
You can't let the chance
To love him pass you by

Should I

Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself


Spinner, happy to be on his lunch hour, sat down at a momentarily empty table: aside from his tray of food. Oh how it rocked to finally not have to worry about wearing that darn hairnet... not at school anyway. The memory still made him cringe. He leaned back in his chair letting his brown eyes search the cafeteria. Sean was back. That was cool, he guessed. He also spotted Manny and Craig... wait wasn't she with that Peter kid? Ah, too much drama for his liking good thing for once he wasn't in it.

Sean wasn't the only one who returned to Degrassi: Hazel did as well. Smiling her bright smile, she walked out of the office. Officially re-enrolled. She waved to a few students who struck her as familiar. Into the cafeteria: walking up to Spinner, he was the first one she recognized, "Hey, Spin." She greeted with a smile.

Hearing the familiar tone, he looked up to see Hazel he greeted her with a smile, "Hey Hazel. When did you get back?" He asked her curiously as he eyes avoided the more dramatic scenes.

Hazel smiled genuinely, mostly since it was good to be back. "Oh, about a week ago, actually. Took a while to re-enroll, and all that stuff," She nodded: trying to ignore the troubled aura that seemed to fill the air. The tension was enough to make her want to avoid it.

"Eh not that I know "Eh not that I know of. I've sort of been out of the drama loop after the whole Paige and Darcy thing." Spinner said with a shrug, "Not that I'm complaining." He smirked. " Everyone else seemed to be in major drama but for once I'm drama free.. I've sort of been out of the drama loop after the whole Paige and Darcy thing." Spinner explained, glancing up to Hazel, glad to see she was paying attention.

"Wow," She commented, "That's something unusual, but fortunate." Hazel laughed lightly, glad that one of her old friends hasn't changed since she was gone. It was refreshing. "Paige and Darcy?" She was slightly quizzical on that topic, but soon remembered, "Oh, yeah, I'm surprised you're managing the drama-free thing quite well."

"Yep... no girlfriend this year for me. Maybe I can keep things semi drama free that way," Spinner said with a grin. It was nice to know that one of his old friends was back and he wouldn't have too left out. Watching as Hazel sat down, he leaned back in his chair a bit.

Hazel wanted to laugh at that comment, "Well, good luck with that. You'll need it." She replied with a half-smile, it soon eased, "Any word on Jimmy? How's he been?" She tilted her head curiously. "Honestly, I couldn't find the time to call any of you." Hazel told him truthfully.

"Haha thanks for the support," He said in his usual Spinner manner he then frowned a bit, he really didn't want to upset her but he couldn't lie at the same time, "Er... he's good. I mean we're talking again and. he's back with Ashley." He hoped he hadn't upset her by the news. But the look on her face made it kind of evident that he did.

Hazel blinked for a moment; she didn't expect to hear that. Sure, Ashley and Jimmy had their history, but so did she. Sighing, not wanting to make it look like it had affected her: she was a bad actress. Smiling half-heartedly, "Oh… Well, at least you two are talking again." She stated, not trying to sound a little upset.

Spinner could tell she was upset but didn't want to make it worse by forcing her to admit she was hurt by the news that came upon her.

"Yeah, it's cool. I honestly didn't expect that to happen." He said.

A small smile perked at the end of her lips. "Well, Jimmy's the kind of guy who'd forgive when it's necessary." She agreed with a nod.

Spinner nodded lightly, "Yeah. He's a better person than I'll ever be. So am I the only one given the honor of speaking to you so far?" He smirked slightly. "Yeah," She answered with a slight smile, "You are," Hazel found it easy to talk to Spinner: Mostly because he'd listen to what she had to say. "After lunch, others will start noticing."

"True someone as popular as you are will be noticed pretty soon. I'd imagine so anyway." Spinner said looking around the cafeteria; the drama seemed to go down a bit, for a while anyway. Thank God, he thought.

"I don't know whether or not I should be proud about that." She said, indicating to the fact that she'd most likely run into Jimmy and Ashley. She really wasn't longing for that confrontation.

Spinner let out a bit of a sigh, Hazel was his friend, Ash was his friend, and most importantly Jimmy was his friend. He could sense a love triangle about to occur, and he knew from experience how horrible that could be. Jimmy was in for a nightmare. "It'll be ok, Hazel. Who knows maybe some new guy will er.. Sweep you off your feet or something like that." He said, that's what people referred to it, as wasn't it?

Hazel couldn't help but let out a laugh at his statement. "Maybe. But let's not forget: not all endings end happily. I'll just have to keep hoping." She nodded with a smile. Spinner nodded, "That's true. But some do as well." He said while finishing off his milk carton. He didn't like to see people depressed, especially his friends. So, he'd try to make her feel better.

She nodded, but looked quizzical, "Like who? Name one person in Degrassi who lived happily ever after?" She quizzed lightly, enjoying Spinner's company. The fact that she was able to converse without arguments: made it easy enough.

Spinner had to think about that question for quite some time, "Er.. Someone we don't know." He smirked, "There has to be someone with a pretty happy life here.." Spinner reminded.

Nice cover," She laughed lightly at Spinner's answer. "Maybe, maybe not, we'll probably never know," Hazel said with a half-hearted smile. "But, maybe you're right. For once." She said jokingly at him.

"For once? What are you talking about Hazel? I'm brilliant so I'm right all the time." Spinner said in his obvious tone although he was just being Spinner, cocky yet joking. He smirked a bit; it was cool to be hanging out with Hazel alone: in a friend-like type of way. He couldn't pass that border. It's wrong to date your friend's ex-girlfriends.

Hazel grinned a bit, giving him a cocky look, folding her arms on the table. "Don't you wish?" She said teasingly. Taking his soda, taking a sip, she kept that smirk on.

He smirked, "Haha very funny, Hazel. But really I think if people listened to me more often Degrassi would be a much pleasant." He said in an obvious joking matter. Spin knew that was far from true, after all he was more screwed up than most of the people there. So he thought.

Aden still held her competitive smile, "Really? A little overly cocky, Spin." She declared, her lips quirked into a half smile. The conversation was easing her mind from the past topic, "Maybe if they would listen to me more often, that'd be another story. Though I doubt an Advise column would be in order."

He laughed in an 'no way' tone although he was of course just messing with her, "You can chose to be denial but soon enough, Hazel you will admit it one day that I, Spinner Mason am the most perfect person... ever." He said with a limp shrug.

"The day that'll happen, Spin, will be the day of the Apocalypse." She said with a playful smirk. Hazel felt more assured that she was spending time with Spinner: having the usual casual talk. "But, you're a good guy. I'll only admit that." She finalized.

Spinner grinned, "Why thank you. I try to be. You're a good person too, Haze." He told her honestly. It was sort of odd to be hanging out with her again without Jimmy but it was a good type of odd

Hazel grinned as he said the compliment, "Awe. Thanks. That makes me feel better." She said half-jokingly. Though it really did help her self-esteem to hear those words. "Glad to have made you feel better," Spinner said ignoring her semi-sarcasm. He tended to often ignore that sort of thing. That was one of the many things that made Spinner well... Spinner.

"Yeah, thanks." She laughed a little, looking down at the table: realizing she had no lunch. "Well, I better go get some lunch before the bell rings." She said witha smile, "You almost made me forget," She said with fake accusations.

Spinner laughed, "My fault eh? I'm just that great of a conservationist?" He said not knowing if that was even an actual word but using it anyway. He didn't quite care.

"Not that I want to inflate your ego, there, but yeah. You are." She laughed lightly, wondering since when did spinner use big words

"Why thank you. But you'd better go and get that lunch before my talking convinces you to stay again." He joked.

"See, there you go again!" She said with a fake exasperated sigh. She rushed to the mostly empty lunch line, biting her lower lip lightly, smiling to herself.


Touch him
With the gentleness you feel inside
Your love can't be denied
The truth will set you free
You'll have what's mean to be
All in time you'll see

I love him
Of that much I can be sure
I don't think I could endure
If I let him walk away
When I have so much to say

I'll

Love is light that surely glows
In the hearts of those who know
It's a steady flame that grows
Feed the fire with all the passion you can show
Tonight love will assume its place
This memory time cannot erase
Blind faith will lead love where it has to go

Never let him go
