Emma reaches her locker, grabbing a book for her next class, when Manny comes up beside her.
"Hey..." Manny trailed, leaning her back against one of the lockers.
Emma gritted her teeth together, keeping focus on the contents of her locker.
"What happened? After I left your house i mean."
The blonde let out a slow breath, shutting her locking without a sound, and turned to face Manny. "What happened? Well let me see. You mean after Archie found your pregnancy test on the floor?" She wanted to yell but just couldn't with everyone around.
But that was never a problem for Manny. "So what? You told him!" She gripped the books tighter to her chest. "How could you Emma! Your supposed to be my friend!"
"Your friend! I told them it was mine! Yeah, i must be some horrible friend to take the blame for you! And when my mother nearly called the freaking family planning on me what do you think i would have done! How was i supposed to know it was POSITIVE!" Emma screamed it all out in a huff, not caring who heard anymore.
Manny's face turns to a very pale shade of skin, and her eyes begin to soften. "What? It.. it was positive."
Emma starts to cool down as well, noticing her friend about to cry. "Yeah."
"And now the whole school knows, thanks Emma." Manny just hurries past her into the girl's washroom.
"Ugh!" She slams the back of her head onto the locker behind her, as the bell for next classes rang loudly through out the school.

Walking aimlessly through the empty halls of Degrassi, not a common thing for her to do. But when a day like today happens, there's times when Algebra is just not for you. She was making her way around a corner, when she heard the distinct sound of music through headphones. She stopped moving and listened more intently to the sound, some rap/rock group fading into the silence.
"Hello?" She whispered, feeling confused whether she really wanted someone to answer back.
She gave up after a few seconds, and then continued her walk down the hallow halls. That is until she could have sworn she saw someone peek out of an empty classroom. She just shook it of, taking steps much smaller and quieter than before. And then there it was again, but this time there was words attached.
"Pss, Em." The face whispered. "Come here." And just as quickly it was gone.
She walked in front of the room she heard it from, but saw it was just one of the rooms that were being repainted. As she peeked into the tinted glass, someone grabbed her by the wrist pulling her in. A muted scream escaped her, but she jsut sighed when coming face to face to the person.
"Sean? What are you doing here?" She yelled a little in shock, but joined him sitting on the ground.
"Probably the same reason as you." He pulled his headphones down around his neck, and squinted most likely thinking about what he was about to say.
"Oh..." She wasn't really sure how to reply to him.
"What tragic event do we owe this pleasant suprise?" He chuckled a bit, leaning his head back, against the wall.
Emma's eyes sunk into a glare. "What exactly do you mean?"
"I mean you are the biggest goody-goody i know. And for you to skip a class something big must have happen." He smirked before continuing. "Don't tell me a rain forest burnt down."
Normally comments like those would have bothered her, but she just didn't care anymore. "Well, excuse me for wanting an education. And your an idiot."
"Oh real nice Em, that's something i will never miss about you."
"What my non-flakey personality, like yours?"
"No, the way you treated me." He turned getting closer to her face.
"The way i treated you? You are a jerk." She just couldn't stand him sometimes.
"See, i'm an idiot, a jerk. What else Em?"
She cringed a bit, knowing she did tend to call him names, but hello "nature freak", "greenpeace" those are names too. "A horrible boyfriend. And stop calling me Em."
"Fine. But it's not like you were a much better girlfriend."
"Oh shut up Sean you knew how much i loved you."
"You loved your causes you never loved me!"
"Are you even serious! Of course i did. You were the only person i ever did!" She felt herself beginning to cry. She hated hearing that she wasn't good enough from people. Not a good enough daughter, not a good friend, not a good student, a bad girlfriend. What did she have to do?
He let his threaning attitude fall, seeing she was really bothered. "Come on, what's wrong?" He scooted close to her.
"Nothing, but if happen to find a blonde who around my size and answers to "Emma" you might want to hold on, cause apparently i'm doing a good enough job."
"Don't say that. You know your the best Emma for the job." He smiled, hoping she would too.
"Come on Sean, you said it yourself i'm a terrible person."
"Hey." He placed an arm around her, pulling her closer. "Hey, you are perfect. Better than any of us deserve, even though sometimes we take you for granted. But we all really care about you."
She looked at him, he was so kind. This was the Sean she had fell in love with. She still had tears coming down her face, but she managed to smile after what he had said.
Sean grinned back, bringing his other hand to her cheek, grazing it lightly with his thumb. "I care about you, Em."
She giggled a little. "Hey, i told you not to call me that."
He just kept starring at her, then tightening the grip of his hand on her hip, he brought his lips to meet with hers.
She instead of rejecting his action, she accepted him by kissing back. She knew it shouldn't happen, they just didn't work well together, something always managed to break them apaprt, but being with him just felt so right it was hard to resist. She felt his other arm wrap around her, pulling her body right against his, not breaking the kiss. There were a lot of issues between them, but the way Sean felt about her was always clear. He loved her just as much as he could. She wanted to pull away, maybe if she had she could blamed him could say she never wanted to or even thought of a kiss, but she hadn't and what they had engaged in had lasted far to long to be considered one person's action. But she didn't care if someone were to through it in her face that she indeed still harbored feelings for Sean Cameron, it just felt too right being with him.

Marco stood outside Ellie's classroom, which had ran later than usual.
"Hey Ellie." He greeted happily, only a few seconds later.
"Oh, Marco. What are you doing here?" She seemed a mixture of depressed and confused.
"Uh i always wait for you." He smiled wide, putting an arm around her waist.
"I don't think three times is always." She scoffed back at him, starting to walk down the hall.
He was confused, and hoped it had nothing to do with that guy from the night before. "Hey, what's up with you?"
"Nothing."
"Well yesterday you left so early we didn't get to talk like we had planned."
She stops walking and turns to face him. "Fine wanna talk, talk."
He scrunches his face, looking around. "Here?"
"Oh you don't want to? Guess it wasn't that important then." She just rolls her eyes and walks away.

Toby ran down the hall, trying to find his best friend to tell him something he would never believe ever from the mouth of Paige Michealchuck.
"JT!" He screamed nearing his locker. "I have to talk to you!"
"Whoa slow down, where's the fire?" JT asked seeming very confused.
"No fire." He paused trying to regain breath control. "But Liberty.."
"Liberty's on fire? Oh what a shame, time for class!" He laughed at himself, as he riffled through his mess of a locker.
"No, you don't understand. She is not Liberty."
"Then who are we talking about cause i'm very confused."
"Liberty!" He yelled a little aggrivated.
"Yeah Tobes?" A girl's voice joined into there conversation.
"Liberty..." JT's mouth nearly dropped at the sight.
She looked different. You see she had changed her usual smart nerd-girl look into something better. She was wearing a brown mini skirt, a lower cut turquoise blue and brown tank top and a pair of lighter brown wedges. Her glasses were gone, hair straightened resting at her shoulders and she had just a bit of make up bringing out her features. She looked pretty.
"That's kinda what i wanted to tell you." Toby whispers to JT, but it was no use JT was to in shock to register his words.
Liberty just looked at both of them confused. "What?"
