Fiona stood at her locker, stuffing various text and notebooks into her locker and grabbing what she needed for the weekend. She was going to breakup with Riley tonight. It had to be done for everything to happen the way in was supposed to happen. She just had to figure out a way to tell him without him hating her so they could still be friends.

"Hey, babe." Riley said, walking up to her, smiling, and wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

"Hey." She smiled back at him and closed her locker. "What are your plans for the weekend?"

"Football practice, hanging with you, maybe spending time with Pete. Why?"

"Just curious. Could I come over today? There's something I need to talk to you about."

He nodded. "Sure. My parents aren't home so we'll have the house to ourselves." He said and pulled Fiona closer.

"That's… great." She managed with a small smile.

The car ride to Riley's was filled with a few awkward silences, but for the most part they didn't have a problem keeping conversation going. Fiona hoped what she was about to do wasn't going to blow any of what little friendship they had built during their relationship.

They pulled up to Riley's house and climbed out of the car. Fiona looked at the two story house as Riley started walking inside. Fiona followed a moment later and Riley held the door open for her. "Thank you" She said and smiled.

Riley nodded, grinning back. "No problem. So what did you wanna talk to me about?"

Fiona hesitated. This was going to be the hardest part of her whole plan. How could she break up with Riley without making him hate her or making him become suspicious that she knew he was gay? It was almost impossible.

"Listen, I've had fun this last month with you, but… I think maybe we need to break up. I mean, I don't think either of us is feeling anything other than friendship. And while I love hanging out with you, I'd rather do it as your friend and not your girlfriend."

Riley was silent for at least a minute, processing the information. Fiona waited nervously. She knew from Peter that Riley sometimes had anger issues, and she didn't want to be there when and if he blew up. But she had no choice now.

"You're breaking up with me?" He asked finally. "Why? Have I not been a good boyfriend? Is there someone else?" He asked, have talking half yelling.

"No, no, there's no one else. I just think we'd be better off as friends. I mean, I like you, Riley, I do. I just… don't like you like that anymore. You know?" She was nervous. Something that was completely out of character for the usual confident brunette.

"Why would I WANT to be friends with you if you're breaking up with me? Do you know how stupid that would make me look in front of the guys? They'd see it as you taking pity on me." He said, clearly angry and shouting. Fiona had expected this much, though.

"I know that you shouldn't want to be friend with me, but I want to be friends with you. And I know how we can save you from humiliation with the guys." Riley raised his eyebrows, questioning her. "Just say you dumped me. I'll tell everyone that, too, if you want."

Riley stared at her. He wore a look of complete shock on his face. "You're serious?" He asked and she nodded. "Okay. That's what we'll do. You're a good person, Fiona." He smiled at her and she smiled back.

"I should go." She said finally. "I have homework and stuff to do. I hope we can hang out sometime, though." Riley nodded and she left.

Peter Stone walked into his house after hanging out with his best friends, Sav Bhandari and Danny Van Zandt. He would've still been out, but they had band practice and Peter wasn't part of the band anymore after the meth incident. He knew he deserved it, but he was still a little bitter.

"Peter, is that you?" He heard his mom call from a few rooms over. He had sold his loft to Spinner and moved into an apartment with his mom.

"Yeah, Mom, I'm home." He said and walked into the kitchen to see what they were having for dinner.

"We're having chicken. But you need to get your homework done before we eat, okay?" His mom said and he went up to his room rolling his eyes and groaning.

He had been working on Biology for a half hour and didn't understand any of it when he heard his phone ring. He figured it was either one of his friends, Mia, or Darcy. He picked it up and looked at the ID. It was just a number, no name on the ID. Curious, he answered it. "Hello?"

"Peter? It's Fiona. Sav gave me your number. I just called to tell you that I broke up with Riley." Peter was kind of shocked. He didn't know Fiona was going to put her plan into action the day after she talked to him about Riley's sexuality. He figured she'd wait least a week or two.

"Wow. Already? How'd it go." He asked, trying to sort through everything that was running through his head. He didn't know why he cared if Fiona's break up with Riley went well, except that it would ruin her plan.

"It went… surprisingly well actually. We're still friends." He could hear the smile in her voice.

"That's… great, Fiona. When are you going to do the next part of the plan?"

"I don't know. It's kind of tricky. I mean, I can't introduce him to Zane right away, because I don't want him to suspect I know anything until he tells me himself. Maybe a couple weeks?"

"Sounds good, I guess." Peter responded.

"Okay. Hey, could we meet up at The Dot tomorrow or something? I want to go over more of the plan. Do you think you could come?"

Peter thought about it. He wasn't doing anything. And hanging out with the hottest girl in school was a lot better than sitting at home playing Rock Band. "Yeah, I'm in. How does noon sound?"

"Sounds perfect. See you then, Peter." She said and hung up.

Peter closed his phone and sighed. He barely knew Fiona and he already liked and trusted her. It was a weird feeling for him because normally when he started getting close to people (minus Riley) he was usually a total ass-wipe. He had hurt Manny, Emma, Darcy, and Mia. He hoped with Fiona it was different. Because, for some reason he didn't understand, she was one of the few people he didn't want to see hurt.

And there's Chapter 2. How was it? Were the characters OOC? (I'm really worried about Riley and Peter. It's my first time writing for them. And Zane when I bring him into the story in a few chapters). I really like the idea of the story. I hope you guys do, too. This story is slowly becoming my favorite one that I've written.

Also, I know I kind of stole the whole "tell them you broke up with me" thing from Dave and Jenna in season 9 when Dave got mad at her, but it was the only thing I could think of that would (possibly) keep Riley happy and get him to trust her enough to be friends.

Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi if I did there would be a lot more of Zane, Riley, Fiona, and Declan. And Degrassi: The Heat is On NEVER would've happened. (I don't like Spinner and Emma together [Spinner/Jane all the way], and the way they got together was random and confusing) Also, I don't own Rock Band, but I do play it occasionally. It's an awesome game.
