At this time now during the school days and the weekends the school was at
war. Everyone, as in the good guys like cheerleaders, jocks, nerds, was
rebelling against the bad ones at school. Those were the people who went down
to the ravine, had parties, and damaged school property. The student body
wanted them out of there; they made Degrassi a bad place. Emma, Liberty, J.T,
and Toby all sat at a lunch table. The students hated each other so much it
was like having an imaginary line drawn in the cafeteria: Rebels split against
Respectfuls.
Mia and Manny came up to talk to their friends.
"We've got to do something," demanded Mia whose hands were resting on the
hips of her cheerleading outfit.
"Well Em, you're good at this kind of stuff so force them out," Manny
said as she flipped her long black hair.
"Guys, you can't force someone out of Degrassi because it's a public
school," she laughed at the thought stiffly, but then again all of them had
the right to show Mrs. H. that the bad asses of the school needed to go. Emma
rose up, "meeting at my house at ten p.m. tonight, be there. This means war
people." Emma was finally going to take charge of the situation.

XThat Night At Emma's HouseX
"Okay Toby how's it coming with those signs," Emma asked. Toby stayed in
the zone of writing on the sign.
"Are you really going to do this Em," Darcy asked unsurely. Emma nodded in
affirmation but stayed quiet. She was IMing someone on the net telling them
to pass the word down on what was happening tomorrow. It was all in her hands
now to give the students what they wanted: action. And by damn were they
getting it.
"Hey do you spell Rebs with one s or two?" JT squinted his eyes trying to
figure it out. Liberty rolled her eyes at JT but continued to work on her own
sign.
"Okay we only have ten minutes left until you leave and we have to finish
this up." Emma was giving orders like they were her slaves.
"I swear if I write anymore, my hands are going to fall off. We've been
doing this for the past two hours," Manny complained, "couldn't you have come
up with a better idea that doesn't involve markers, pencils, pens and such?"
Emma agreed that she was a little them and they took a five-minute break.
You know Em if you're trying to get rid of the Rebels that means you're
getting rid of Craig and if that's the case then I'm backing out."
"Fine be that way Manny. I knew you wouldn't be there for me when I needed
you," Emma yelled as Manny made a move to walk out.
"The only reason you're doing this is because of JASON HOGART," Manny
yelled back.
Manny left and then so did everyone else. Emma shook her head in disagreement
as Manny's words ran back through her head. She wasn't doing it because of
him, there was more to her life than Jay. But she did wonder why she was doing
all of this.
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

There was no backing down now. Emma woke up the next morning and put her hair
in a high ponytail with blue and yellow ribbons to match her cheerleading
outfit. She shoved on her white puma sneakers before jogging her upstairs and
grabbing a fresh hot piece of toast out of the toaster. A horn honked outside
so she kissed Jack and her mom goodbye before heading out to Toby's car.
When they pulled up to the school everyone waited for Emma. She and Toby with
along the help of Liberty and J.T passed out signs. Some said Rebels go to
hell! Others said we don't want you here, Rebels are twice the trouble, or
ruin your life and not ours. There were over fifty signs. Most students had
made their own signs. Emma watched Manny hugging on Craig on the bad part of
the school.
"You ready?" Liberty tapped Emma's shoulder, shaking her out of her daze.
Emma nodded her head. Second period it was going down. All the students
watched the clock like hopefully. Emma was making sure it was what she wanted
to do.
Then it happened: the bell rang to go to second period. At the end of the
hall she heard them already protesting to get the Rebels out. The Rebels were
on one side and Respectfuls on the other. Emma rounded the corner, seeing the
bunch that was in the hall. They let their leader through the crowded way.
There stood Jay taking up for his side with his sidekick beside him: Sean
Cameron and his of a girlfriend. Jay smiled, sizing Emma up and down.
"Well if it isn't Green peace," Jay said making his whole side of the school
laugh.
"Well if it isn't trailer trash and his ravine buddies. How's the gang?"
She dripped contempt in her words. "Look we want all of you gone," she said
as she pointed the rebels.
"I just don't think that's going to do." He fixed his hat.
"What are you, deaf? We want all of you gone, you make Degrassi as if it's
some kind of...rebel mania," stated Emma.
The Respectfuls cheered Emma on. She came off as a strong girl once she got
going.
"We should have known you were behind this. Who do ya think told us huh,
Cause Girl? Yeah it was Manny, she's one of us now," Alex taunted Emma.
"Well I don't care since she's a stupid who cheats on her boyfriend
almost every night," Emma snapped. Manny stepped up
", you wanna talk about ? Talk about what you did with a guy you're
not even dating, a guy with a girlfriend. That's low Emma. I wouldn't even
do that. And I don't blame Jay, I blame you."
"What did you do to her Jay?" Alex smacked Jay upside the head. He got .
Damn Manny talked too much. Respectfuls were shocked at what Manny just said.
"So you wanna know if we're leaving... I say no." Jay directed words
towards Emma. "Whoa, you wanna know something, my favorite sign that your cute
friends made: rebels are twice the trouble. Man that's good lemme tell ya."
He could tell she was going to crack any minute
"Just remember we'll make you leave some way." She glared at him icily then
got the Respectfuls to leave with the Rebels winning the battle but not the
war. She wasn't giving up that easily. They all went back to class except
Emma. She couldn't take the fact that she lost so she skipped third period
even though it was MI and she would be in deep when she got home.
Emma was slouched over on the pavement wall with her feet to her chest
breathing slowly and deeply when a voice interrupted her.
"I never expected you to be skipping and by the looks of it, it seems as
though you were crying." Jay chuckled then grew serious, "I'm sorry for the
way I ran out on you in L.A," he began, "but I'm not sorry for the choice I
made." He came closer to Emma and pushed a piece of hair behind her ear. He
pulled her into her arms and even though she tried fighting him off soon she
gave up. Emma hugged him back as he whispered things in her ear. He loved when
she was in his arms. The peace was broken when she pushed him away.
"You can't do this! You can't run back in my life, I don't have any spots
for you," she told him. It broke his heart even though he didn't have one
"Emma, give me a chance." He came up to her and took her hand. "Alex and I
are over so please…" His brown eyes melted into hers. She couldn't resist.
"On two conditions. One, no cheating and two, make the Rebels wanna respect
the school." She smiled. Jay winced when she said said respect because when it
came to Rebels there wasn't such a word.
" Eh, I'll see what I can do." He brought her back closer their stomachs
touched and their bodies rubbed skin. They held hands. When she was around
him she felt like silly putty. Instantly his lips pressed onto hers softly and
slowly. Emma parted her lips, letting him in for entrance. His tongue roamed
her mouth almost swallowing her whole. Jay's hands squeezed and worked their
way to her . She hit Jay in the stomach playfully and he groaned into her
mouth when he kept grabbing 'it'. Emma's hands stayed at his jaw line, but
Jay's lips went to her neck, nipping at it. Emma yelped in pleasure then
moaned. She was lifted up and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he
pushed her back against the wall. Emma pulled away breathless.
"Jay, not here, not now. I'm still..." She said. Jay sighed, letting her
get her balance again.
"Then we better get back to class." Jay let go of her hands. "We have to
keep it on the D.L ok Babe?" He pecked her on the lips quickly then left
before she did. She waited, making sure he couldn't hear after he was gone.
She squealed loudly and Jay still heard. He shook his head. She jumped up and
down like in the movies then went to class.
Little did they both know that Peter watched and videoed the whole session.
"Wait till someone sees this: Emma Nelson and Jason Hogart a couple." They
were going against their sides of the school by becoming one. Peter walked
back to class with his video camera and an evil grin on his face.
