------------------------------------------

"Wow!" Alex breathed out in awe as Paige entered the car. Paige looked… stunning!

"Hey!" Paige said smiling at Alex's stunned expression. It was just the expression she wanted.

"Ermm… hi!" Alex said forcing herself to take her eyes off of Paige's exposed tanned legs although her eyes just ended up at Paige's breasts instead. Paige smiles even wider. She loved having that affected on Alex. It was something she could do in the past and was glad she could still evoke such a reaction from Alex.

"Paige? Are you ready" Alex shouted up to Paige who was still in her bedroom getting ready.
"Trust me… you're gonna be here all night waiting for her!" Marco said sitting on the couch. "You know what I'm gonna meet you guys there." Marco added becoming impatient. They were on their way to a party and Paige was taking way too long to get ready.
"Alright" Alex said giving the boy a hug before exited. She heard Marco's car revving out of the driveway.
"PAIGE?" Alex shouted again.
"I'm coming." Paige shouted back down. She wanted to look perfect.
"PAIGE!" Alex shouted five minutes later. "We are going to be la-"Alex was cut off by the goddess that was her girlfriend walking down the stairs looking as gorgeous as ever.
"Woah!" was all Alex could say as her girlfriend finished down the flight of stairs and grabbed her arm.
"I'm ready!" Paige whispered in her girlfriend ear, leading the awe struck girl outside.

"So where are we going?" Paige asks snapping Alex out of her reminiscence.

"Ermm… there is an Italian restaurant near here. It's small but the food is great!" Alex says regaining her composure and putting the car in drive.

After like a minute and a half of silence, Alex pipes up.

"So Banting?" Alex says forming it as a question to let Paige lead the conversation.

"Yep… Banting." Paige says nodding. It wasn't the response Alex wanted but it was something.

"How is it?" Alex asks. It wasn't what she really wanted to know but it didn't seem right to just come out and ask the girl that she hadn't seen or even talked to in months whether or not she was single or taken. Starting with small conversation seemed more appropriate.

"It's harder than I thought it would be." Paige admits. "But it's good" she adds. "University of Calgary! Track! When did all of that happen?" Paige asks wanting to keep it a two way conversation.

"Well I had to like go back to Degrassi for a few months to finish my credits to get into college and then I met Shannon and it was off to college for me on a full scholarship" Alex says not wanting to divulge exactly how she'd meet Shannon.

"Open the door. We have a warrant for your arrest." A police officer banged on the door. "If you don't open the door, it will be mandatory to use force!" The booming voice came again. Alex could hear Emily and Chad shuffling around the house, gathering their things. She was unsure of how they were planning to get out or even what they did but she wasn't going to stay to find out. She quickly grabbed a sports bag and threw some clothes in it and then from under her pillow grabbed an envelope that contained $500 she had been saving and a picture of her dad as well as a picture of herself and Paige when they were a couple.
Alex regretted having moved into this new apartment from their old trailer simply because it was much harder to escape especially being on the fifth floor. Luckily there was a fire escape right outside her window. She quickly exited and climbed down the ladder like stairs.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" she heard a voice yell to her as she reached the bottom step. Years of hanging out with Jay made running the instinctual thing to do when a cop told her to stop, so she ran.
"STOP!" she heard the man yell again and she knew from the tone of his voice that he had began chasing her/ She knew he had a gun and she knew he could use it at any moment but putting that out of her mind she just kept running. Soon she was sure she was far ahead of the man and slowed her pace.
"Get in!" A female instructed, opening her car doors as Alex passed. Alex didn't know who the person was but she took her chances slowed to a stop and got in the car quickly. The unknown girl sped away as the Police officer came running around the corner Alex had just turned leaving the officer confused as to where the girl had went.
"Who are you?" Alex asked her breathing back to normal.
"After that… I'd say I am your rescuer but you can call me Shannon. What'd you do anyway?" Shannon asked curious as to why the girl was running from the cops.

"Wow… well you're really good at running track." Paige says remembering the earlier race.

"Thanks" Alex says smiling. "Well…this is it" She says parking the car.

It was a really small little family business with a huge neon light sign that read "G G's"

"It's nice" Paige says as they enter. It really was quite nice for such a small establishment. There were sports memorabilia all around hanging on the walls and even on the ceiling from baseballs to hockey sticks. In a far corner Paige could see a huge poster of Alex running in her track uniform obviously autographed by her with a gold medal secured behind unbreakable glass right next to it. There were a few customers scattered around the place but not many.

"Lexi… Did you win?" A man with sandy blonde hair and dark blue eyes asks seeing Alex enter. He looked about 25 and Paige could tell by the apron that he worked there.

"Well if you were there then you would know wouldn't you?" Alex asks smirking at him.

"You see I didn't go because I was so sure of the outcome!" The man says smiling.

"Good answer" Alex says smiling.

"Nah..really… I had to work so how was the outcome?" He asks his smile slowly disappearing.

"She won of course!" A younger girl with the same colour hair as the boy as well as the same colour eyes says. She also worked there but looked around the age of 19. "Who's your lady friend?" the girl asks eyeing Paige.

"Paige... this is Drake and Mercedes" Alex says pointing at the boy and then the girl.

"Nice to meet you!" Mercedes says wiping her hand on a towel that was around her neck and then extending her arm to shake hands with Paige. She had a really strong grip.

"Likewise." Paige says smiling. Drake smiles at her and nods his greeting.

"Anyway… you guys take a seat and I'll be right with ya!" Mercedes says releasing Paige's hand.

"I think this one is a keeper!" Mercedes whispers to Alex as she passes making Alex smile.

Paige follows Alex into a small booth seat.

"So how was Degrassi? The same? Paige asks setting the menu down after she had decided what to order.

"Yeah… pretty much." Alex says nodding. "So what class is the interview for?" Alex asks curious.

Paige had almost forgotten all about the interview.

"English." Paige says quite glad that Alex had reminded her about that interview. It was supposed to be the main reason she was there.

"What can I get you guys?" Mercedes says appearing with her pen and notepad.

"Eh… I will have the lasagna and a diet coke" Paige says.

"And a hamburger with fries and a strawberry milkshake right Alex?" Mercedes asks already taking it down.

"Yep!" Alex says smiling. Paige giggles. It was just like Alex to come to an Italian restaurant and order a hamburger and fries.

"What?" Alex asks smiling although she knew exactly what Paige was laughing at. "I like hamburgers and fries okay?" Alex says now joining in on the laughing.

After about 15 minutes of playful chatter about old times at Degrassi and things that have occurred since Degrassi, Mercedes comes back with their food.

"Chief says great race Alex" Mercedes says putting their food down on the table.

"How does her know I'm here!" Alex asks knowing she hadn't seen David, the chief since she had entered.

"You're the only one that orders a hamburger and fries here!" Mercedes says laughing before leaving making Paige laugh. Alex was so odd but in a good way. She really couldn't help laughing when she was around Alex.

"What are you laughing at?" Alex says throwing a fry at Paige.

"You so didn't just throw a fry at me!" Paige says which makes Alex throw another fry at her.

"Whatcha gonna do about it?" Alex asks playfully. Paige couldn't help but smile. Alex was trying to keep a serious face but was failing badly. Paige found it so cute.

"You're wasting food." Paige says still smiling after like the fifth fry was thrown at her.

"Fine!" Alex says eating a fry with a ' I don't wanna!' kinda facial expression.

"You're so childish sometimes Lexi!" Paige says not realizing that she had used the nickname that she only used while they were dating. It made Alex smile.

"So… Have you found anyone special at Banting?" Alex asks her face becoming serious.
