"Then she said, 'Bad move!'" JT mocked Manny Santo's words to Emma that weekend to their friends.

They were spending time at the mall after their movie and shared drinks and such, sitting at a table.

Anya stared with her boyfriend Sav, who looked to Emma, "Is she going to ruin you or something, Emma?" he asked.

Emma rolled her eyes, "It was probably just heat of the moment. Don't worry about it." she said.

"I need to worry about it." Mia admitted, a certain look on her face that read 'this is bad news'. "When Manny Santo's threatens, she sticks to it."

"OH boo hoo." JT smiled and said, "You can take her, Em!" he slapped her arm.

Emma ow'd, rubbing her arm and shook her head, "I don't do catfights JT, if she's truly upset...I'll just talk to her." she insists.

They all snickered at once.

"What?" Emma asked.

"Manny does not reason." Anya told her.

Mia recalled, "In grade 5, I accidently took her pencil, she snapped it in half and glued it on my forehead."

Silence.

"Ouch." Sav said outloud, they all nodded and Emma stared, she then waved it off and got up.

"I'm walking home. I'm done with this." she waved, "See you guys on Monday."

"If you live long enough." muttered Mia and Emma gave her a look, "Kidding!" she exclaimed, then coughed awkwardly.

Emma rolled her eyes and stormed off to walk home.

During her walk home, it was getting cold and she crossed her arms and began to move her hands to get warmer. Not a good night to be wearing a jean skirt and white tank top.

As she stared down, watching her feet lead the way home, a car was coming by her... but it slowed down.

Emma noticed the vibration and then heard the music from the car. It was right behind her- oh my god, what if it was Manny? What if she was going to do a hit and run?!

"Greenpeace."

She knew that voice all too well. All husky and mysterious. She turned around and Jay Hogart smirked, slowly driving up next to her.

"Wow, orange. Didn't think it was your color." she teased, looking over his orange honda civic.

Jay bit the inside of his cheek and grinned, glancing down and back up at her from his window. "You want a ride?" he asked, nodding inside his car.

Manny's brother, asking her if she wants a ride?

This was a set up right?

"No thanks." Emma kept walking.

Jay's mouth dropped. No girl ever said no to him. He followed her again and repeated, "You want a ride?"

Emma had to crack a smile and looked over, "I just said no, Hogart."

"Yeah, I thought maybe I misheard you." he joked and she gave a silent laugh, looking down and finally stopping.

She crossed her arms and asked, "Why do you want to give me a ride home?"

Jay adored the way she tilted her head a bit curiously. Damn, she was so goregous. I know, Degrassi's bad boy going soft for blondie here, right?

He smiled, and I mean actually smiled, Jay Hogart SMILED.

"I can't be nice?" he asked her.

"Not legally." she said, shaking her head no and he chuckled, "Is Manny going to pop out of the trunk with a shotgun?" she joked, yet was serious.

Jay went serious and promised, "Manny won't be touching you." he added sincerly, "Not if I can help it." his eyes burned into hers and she felt her heart skip.

"Just a ride home." she warns, "No where else." she started walking to the other side to the passanger door.

"No where else." he promised and she got in. They shared a look, then a smile and he started driving, music blasting.

"Is this where you kill me?" Emma wondered aloud.

He couldn't stop smiling and turned his radio down, "This is where you tell me directions to your house." he confirmed.

"Right." she said, a smile coming through as she pointed, "Go straight, I'll let you know when to turn."

"Like a girl who knows what she wants." he boldy said, speeding up as Emma snuck a glance at him and shook her head smiling, he snuck a glance at her too while grinning.

Finally they reached her house and Emma pointed, "That's it." and Jay drove up the driveway. He parked the car and looked at her curiously, she laughed and asked, "What?"

"Your not at all like the girls at Degrassi, you know?" he said lowly, "No one would stick up to Manny like that, well... no one but me." he joked.

"How is she... as a sister?" Emma wondered.

Jay chuckled, "Like any sister, she's annoying."

"I've heard pretty visious things about her."

"Most of it is true... yet, most the things you hear about me is true."

"You were once in prison?" Emma asked amused.

He narrowed his eyes, "No. Not that." Silence as he grit his teeth and blurted out, "Just juvie twice." he looked at her with this look in her eye.

"I'm not going to judge you." Emma promised. He held the breath he had no idea he was holding. God, he was acting like SUCH an idiot. What'd this girl have over him to make him be this way?

"What about you?" he asked, "Any secrets?"

"Just that I might have a death wish." she joked and then smiled, "And my Dad's watching us from the front window."

Jay looked forward to 'oh' at an angry face at the house and scratched the back of his neck. Before he knew it, sadly, Emma was out of his car.

"Thanks Jay." she said with a wave.

"Night, GP." he smirked and she did so back, shutting the door and leaving.

He watched her until she was out of sight. His heart stopped and then skipped a beat...was-was that butterflies in his stomach

"Jesus." he said out loud and drove off.

That's it for now. REVIEWS! Tell me if you life it. Not sure if I should go on, I just havent done a story in a while.
