"Hey Jay." one girl purred.
Manny rolled her eyes as her brother walked the school like it was his own. Even her friends were greeting him too friendly.
Darcy smirked and waved, "Hogart." she greets.
Jay just went to his locker, opening it and throwing his hat in. All night he thought about Emma. It was crazy. Could it be- no, he couldn't even say it let alone believe he's feeling it. Could Jay Hogart...love?
His locker suddenly closed as Darcy leaned on it and crossed her arms, "Where were you last night?" she curiously asked.
Jay raised an eyebrow and looked to Manny. Why the hell was her friends wondering where he's been?
"Get your holy girl away from my territory." he told Manny.
Manny boredly played with her nails as Anya stood beside her and gawked Jay as well. Jay scoffed in annoyance as Manny didn't do anything.
She did sigh though, and replied, "Darcy, he was giving sweet blonde girl a ride home."
"So?" taunted Jay and she glared at him and stood up straighter, storming over to him and tried pushing his shoulders. He didn't even move back a little bit. "Your joking, right?" he laughed.
"She embarressed me infront of the whole school!" shrieked Manny in madness and Jay rolled his eyes. She deserved it.
"It was my crew, and your stupid boyfriend. Get over it. No one really saw." Jay informed as his gang came over. Sean, Spinner, Jane & Lucas, all greeted him.
Manny shook her head in madness then asked, "Why'd you give her a ride anyways?"
Jay tried ignoring her and he started walking away with them until he heard Manny laughing a little too hard. Even Anya and Darcy shared a look. Manny bent forward, putting her hands on her knees and laughed even harder.
Jay turned and shared a look with his friends who amusingly watched Manny laugh.
"She finally hit rock bottom." muttered Sean, Spinner laughed.
Manny caught her breath and flipped her hair back before sizing Jay up. "You like her." she declared.
Jay went cold.
Shit.
"HEY EMMA!" the blonde was walking up Degrassi's stairs as she met up with Sav and his friend Peter, "Look, new guitar." he showed her.
Emma smiled a little, "Cool." she wasn't really the fan of music though. Not like he was.
Peter walked beside her and dug his hands into his pockets, "We're playing you know. At the school dance." he says.
"That's awesome! Way to go guys." she entered the school with them.
"Are you going to it?" Peter asked her curiously and Emma walked to her locker and shook her head no as she put in the combination. Sav tried hiding his smile as Peter sadly nodded and walked away.
"He was hinting you know." Sav whispered to Emma.
Emma gave him a look over her shoulder and asked, "What are you talking about?"
He was about to answer until a big laugh cut him off. The two looked down the hall seeing Manny Santo's laughing her ass off and looking at Jay and his crew who looked very annoyed.
"Well, who knew Manny could ever laugh so hard." taunts Sav.
Emma shared a smirk with him and the bell rang, sending them in that direction for class.
"You should go with him though." Sav said.
"Go with who?" said Mia, jumping into the group. Emma just shrugs and kept her eyes ahead as she walked by Manny and her posse, Jay was on the other side watching her pass.
"Emma's going to the dance with Peter." Sav said and Jay heard it, and his mouth dropped a little, watching Emma until out of sight.
"NO I'm not." Emma corrected as they turned the corner and she scoffs, "I don't even want to go."
"Emma, so many guys want you and you just wave them off." Mia said, "I'm beginning to think your gay."
During Mia's outburst, Jay's friends Lucas and Sean walked by and gave them a look, hiding smirks.
"I'm not!" Emma exclaimed at them, getting sick of their looks.
Sean put his hands up, "Whatever you say." she said.
"Lesbians are hot." Lucas informs, walking into class and Mia drooled behind him, "Cat got your tounge? he asked her and she just stared. He awkwardly shifted and walked to the back of the class.
Emma shoved her a bit and Sean noticed it, to chuckle a bit.
"Someone's got a crush." he said and Mia gasped.
Jay walked in and looked at the scene, he caught Emma's eye and smirked a bit. DAMN that sexy smitten smirk. SSS. Huh... new code.
"I-I do not like...Lucas." Mia stuttered and snickered nervously. Manny heard this as she walked in with Anya and snickered herself.
She walked by eyeing Mia and then glanced at Emma evily before she walked to the back.
"She better not think she's sitting in the back with us." Jay said out loud, standing beside Sean and Emma who laughed a little.
Sean breathed, "If she steals my spot-"
The group watched Manny stroll to the back, her eyes on Lucas. Mia sadly watched and glanced to Emma, what was Manny doing?! Was she going to tell him?!?
Emma scrowled, if Manny opened her big mouth- worse. Manny smirked down at Lucas and somehow found a way into his lap.
"I think she found a seat already." Spinner Mason said, joining the group with his girl friend Jane.
"On his lap." Jane joked and added, "Hm, very formal."
"No one says respect me, like Manny." Spinner joked to her and they smirked at another.
From the back, Manny shot a far glance to Emma, even though it wasn't Emma liking Lucas, Manny knew Emma was 'dear' to her friends and cared for their feelings.
"Not like I had a chance anyways..." drifted Mia sadly. Emma gave her friend a sad glance and Jay looked between them. He walked by and Emma watched him go.
But then he did something unexpected.
"Christmas already, Manny?" Jay taunts his sister at the back and glanced at his friend, "Lucas isn't Santa, you know. Santa isn't even real Manny, let alone interested." some of the class laughed and Manny fumed, embarressed.
Lucas rubbed his forehead, giving Jay a look. Manny finally got off and gave both boys a 'fuck you' before she walked off.
Mia laughed beside Emma.
Emma was too busy watching Jay a bit curiously yet entertainingly.
"How charming." Sean whispered to Emma jokingly while walking by. She had been caught watching Jay, she blushed.
"CUTE." Spinner also teased walking by and Jane just smiled, shaking her head.
These two were so obvious.
