I know the last chapter sucked, so I hope that this one makes up for it! )

Chapter Seven

I've never been one with the lines,
never been overly "smooth".
But I know what I'm feeling inside,
it's got everything to do with you.
Ever since I first met you,
I feel like I've been walking on air.
But somehow when I'm with you,
I can't come out with those words...
If I said "I love you"
Would you say you love me, too?


Craig's brows creased a bit at the suggestion, and then he remembered Sean being present in Degrassi High. The last thing the future rock star wanted was getting mixed up into something unnecessary. Sure, he was fond of Emma at one point, and he felt protective over her in a brotherly way, but he didn't see the point in doing something he'll regret later on.

"As much as I'd love to," He started and immediately recognized the disappointment in her facial expression. A sigh escaped his lips, "I can't. I have other things to do, and why don't you go with Sean? I'm sure you two have a lot to catch up on." The way she looked at him! He realized that he sounded as if he wanted her gone. And he didn't want her thinking that. "I'll call you, okay?"

Even then, Emma couldn't convince him otherwise. Craig was always interested in Manny, which was probably the reason he's being such a horrible liar. "Alright, but don't forget." She sighed without any argument. Go to the party with Sean? How cans she when she's not even sure he's with someone else? Biting her lips softly, she felt horrible for ditching her ex, and she didn't know why she was acting a little bitchy towards him. He's back, and she made it sound as if she wasn't happy.


This fear of rejection brings me to my knees
Deep inside I wanna hide
Just in case you don't pick me.
Fear of rejection is drivin' me insane
What the heck, stick out your neck
We're goin' down in flames!
If only you would give a sign,
I'd know if have got a chance.
If only you could read my mind,
Help me out and ask me to dance.
Maybe I'll just flash a smile,
and hope that you might smile back, too.
It might help sum up the courage
to put my heart out on the line for you.
If I said "I love you"
Would you say you love me, too?

This fear of rejection brings me to my knees
Deep inside I wanna hide
Just in case you don't pick me.
Fear of rejection is drivin' me insane
What the heck, stick out your neck
We're goin' down in flames!
This fear of rejection brings me to my knees
Deep inside I wanna hide
Just in case you don't pick me.
Fear of rejection is drivin' me insane
What the heck, stick out your neck
We're goin' down in flames!

If I said "I love you"
Would you say you love me, too?

This fear of rejection brings me to my knees
Deep inside I wanna hide
Just in case you don't pick me.
Fear of rejection is drivin' me insane
What the heck, stick out your neck
We're goin' down in flames!
Subtlely, I make a point
to spend all the time with you I can.
Over time you might get the hint
and maybe take a hold of my hand.


"See you later, Craig." Emma bid farewell as she headed off toward the cafeteria seeing as it was lunchtime. Her main worry was the fact that Peter's around, and what will he think of Sean? She couldn't just dump Peter out of the blue, he gave her so much, and he was there for her. Sean was off doing God knows what. A sigh escaped her lips; something told her that something just wasn't right. Her chocolate brown eyes follow the running duo: Liberty and J.T.

"What's gotten into them?" She asked herself out loud and started to follow them. Something was up, and she wanted to know what. Remembering their faces, they were mixed with horror and desperation. It can't be good.


And one day you might say to me,
that you've been scared to say it, too.
Maybe it will come to be, because
it's gotta come together before it finally comes apart.

If I said "I love you"
Would you say you love me, too?

This fear of rejection brings me to my knees
Deep inside I wanna hide
Just in case you don't pick me.
Fear of rejection is drivin' me insane
What the heck, stick out your neck
We're goin' down in flames!
This fear of rejection brings me to my knees
Deep inside I wanna hide
Just in case you don't pick me.
Fear of rejection is drivin' me insane
What the heck, stick out your neck
We're goin' down in flames!
