A/N: Last night I dreamt the Emma had cancer and she died. Isn't that horrible? Thanks for the replies and everything.

Chapter 5: One-Trick Pony

Emma dragged herself out of her bed the next morning. Since she'd hardly gotten any sleep the night before she though a nice warm shower would help. It didn't. She got dressed and headed upstairs, grabbing her dark green backpack and taking it with her.

"Hey mom, I'm just gonna walk to school okay?" She told her mother.

Spike nodded her head, "Okay, but what are you going to eat?"

"I found some kind of bar in my room. It'll probably hold me over till lunch" Emma said as she approached the door and opened it.

"Fine, have a good day"

Emma walked out the door, "Thanks, you too"

She stepped into the warm November air. When she arrived at Degrassi Community School she noticed no one was there. She took out her cell phone and saw that it was only 7:00. School didn't start until eight. She decided against going back home and sat on the front school steps. Inside her backpack she found the protein bar but when she opened it she found out it was just a prop.

"Great, now what am I going to eat?" she said silently to herself. "Why do I even have these?"

A few minutes pasted and more students arrived at the school. Emma saw the orange civic from the other day and the next thing she knew Jay was approaching her. She smiled.

"Hey," he said to her. "What's up?"

"Well, I have a question."

He sat down next to her, "Okay shoot."

"Do you know anyone named Sean?" she asked him.

He thought for a moment, "Sean? Nope, that name doesn't come to mind"

"Oh," she said looking a little disappointed. "Well there's the bell"

They both got up and went their separate ways. When Emma went into Ms. Sauve's office she told her that the tests she took yesterday went really well and she would probably be in a real classroom by tomorrow. Emma didn't really care she was still so mixed up in her own thoughts. At lunch Emma found that Manny was at school. Good. Manny motioned for Emma to come over to the table as she moved her bag out of the seat next to her.

"Hey," Emma said as she sat down. "Ms. Sauve said tomorrow I'm in an actual classroom."

A smile grew on Manny's face, "Oh Em, that's great. Ya know I have been waiting forever."

"It's just been one day"

"It's been a lot longer than that and I miss my best friend in my classes."

"Oh well, Manny you know you love it"

Manny took out a piece of paper, "Okay well tomorrow we need to go shopping for the dance of Friday."

"Sounds fun," Emma said. "Tomorrow it is."

The rest of the period they sat around, ate, and talked as more of their friends began to sit at the table. When another bell rang signaling the end of lunch, Emma went in to the washroom. When she came out she realized that she was late for her next class, English. This was Emma's favorite subject so she rushed to Ms. Sauve's office. When she rounded the corner her body slammed hard into someone else's.

"Emma?" A boy said.

Emma caught her breath and looked up to the boy, "Wait, you're Sean aren't you?"

"I am not a one-trick pony
I am not a one-trick pony
I really feel nothing can hold me
I really feel no one can own me"
