DEGRASSI

CHAPTER 005: "Pushed Too Far (1)"

PLOT A: Katie Matlin

"Mare. Please, I really need." Katie stated, but Marisol had already hung up the phone. "Ugh." Katie said as Becky came up behind her, "Trouble in paradise?" Becky asked. "Actually, yeah, Drew won't be in this week, so he can't fill me in on what's happening with sports." Katie told the girl, "Well can't you get Marisol to do something?", Becky asked. "Actually I can't, Marisol's sulking about something." Katie answered her. "Oh, well I could get the scoop on sports for you." Becky told the girl. "Becky, you don't have to do that." Katie told the girl. "Katie, I know I don't, but I think I know someone who will be willing to help you." Becky said as she looked over to a group of boys that were by their lockers, "Noah!" Becky called as the boy came over to her.

"Beck. What's up?" Noah asked as he looked at her then to Katie. "Nothing, Katie needs you to do a favor for her." Becky said, "Sure, I'll do anything for the president." Noah said as he flashed a smile at her. "Well, I need you to keep up with the sports, just for today." Katie stated. "No problem," Noah said as he jogged away from the girls. "Becky Simon. You're a life saver." Katie said as the girls hugged.

PLOT B: K.C. Guthrie

K.C. rushed out of the back room and into the living room. "Mom!" he called as she appeared in the kitchen and walked out to him, "Yeah?", Lisa asked as K.C. started to lift up the cushion's pillows. "Have you seen my biology book?" K.C. asked as he placed down the cushion. K.C. then looked at his mother, she was a little off. "You okay?" K.C. asked as he placed his hand on his mother's shoulder. Lisa looked up at him, "Um. We need to talk." Lisa whispered as she sat down. K.C. looked at her, "Okay.", he whispered as he sat down beside her. "About what?", he asked as his mother's voice began to crack a little.

Lisa looked into the kitchen, K.C. heard someone clear their throat. "Is someone else here?" K.C. asked. "Yeah." a man's voice called out as he began to walk out of the shadows. "What's up?" the man asked as K.C. looked at him terrified and stood up. "What's he doing here!" K.C. shouted as he pointed at the man, "K.C. calm down, he said he's changed." Lisa told her son. "Yeah well I don't believe that." K.C. stated as he began to walk out of the house.

"K.C.!" the man shouted, "I'm sorry.", he finished. "It's a little too late for that don't you think." K.C. whispered as he left his mother and the man by themselves in the apartment.

PLOT C: Clare Edwards

Clare made her way into the classroom, "Ah, Ms. Edwards." Ms. Dawes said as she looked at her. "Hi." Clare whispered as she sat down, with Alli looking at her. "I was just about to split everyone into groups, so if everyone would look to their left, those are you're partners." Ms. Dawes said, as Clare looked to her left and her and Alli's eyes met. "Hi Clare." Alli whispered. "Hi." Clare stated as she rolled her eyes and started to look out the window as Ms. Dawes explained the project.

PLOT A: Katie Matlin

"Yeah, but Drew, I." Katie whispered, but Drew had already hung up the phone, Katie couldn't keep anyone on the phone now, it was becoming nerve wrecking. Becky walked into the room, "Here, Noah said this is all he got." Becky said, handing Katie a small notebook. Katie's eyes widened, "What's this?" Katie asked. "He wrote it." Becky whispered. "All of this?" Katie asked. "Yeah, what is it too long?" Becky asked. "It's okay, I'll just have to read it carefully and get the key points." Katie said as Becky gave a weak smile and made her way out of the room.

Katie immediately sat down and placed her head down on the table, she wasn't in control anymore, she had to get control. "Ugh." Katie shouted as she ran out to the vending machine and loaded up on snacks, she hadn't even realized that she had gotten so many, she opened the first bag of chips, "Let's get to work." Katie whispered as she ate the chip and started to read Noah's notes.

PLOT B: K.C. Guthrie

K.C. was walking with Connor to his locker, "So your father's back?" Connor asked. "Yeah," K.C. whispered as he placed his head against the locker next to Connor's. "Well don't you think you should be a little more, excited.?" Connor asked as K.C. looked at him, angrily, "If you knew what my father was like you'd be just as mad" K.C. said as he looked at Connor. Connor put his books in his bag, "Well I mean I don't see what the problem is" Connor told him as he made his way away from his locker and K.C. made his way over to him. "What?" K.C. asked, shocked that Connor didn't see what the problem was.

Connor looked at him, "Look. I'm pretty sure that whatever your mom did was just about as worse as what he did." Connor stated. "Your point?" K.C. asked. "My point is that, don't you think you should at least try to forgive him, like you did your mother?" Connor asked as he continued to walk away, leaving K.C. to think about what he just said.

PLOT C: Clare Edwards

Clare is sitting down on the edge of the fountain, Alli is sitting down next to her, "So what if we had some purple?" Alli asked as Clare looked at her, "Sky blue, that's your favorite color." Alli whispered as Clare began to speak, "Why are you talking about decorating the project, we haven't even finished it yet!" Clare shouted as Alli looked at her. "Look I'm sorry, it's just, I wanted to be your partner for this project so I could apologize." Alli told Clare. "Apologize for what, taking what's mine?" Clare asked as she stood up and Alli followed her. "Clare, I don't see why you're being so dramatic right now, you and Jake aren't even together anymore." Alli told her. "Oh yeah, we would've have broken up if you didn't kiss him." Clare said, she had to blame it on something, even though that wasn't the real reason.

"No. That was last summer, he broke up with you last semester because you're being what you've always been...a hypocrite!" Alli said as she looked at Clare, "You and the grim reaper deserve each other." Alli whispered, referring to Eli. Clare couldn't help herself, she shoved Alli, who tripped into the fountain, immediately being covered by water. Everyone saw it and was in shock. Clare gave a devious smile before walking off.

PLOT A: Katie Matlin

Katie started to rush back and forth, piecing everything together, she was starting to become overwhelmed. During the whole time Katie was working, she was going throughs bags and bags of chips, cookies, cakes, she didn't even realize that she was eating that much. "There." Katie stated as she looked around, noticing the plastic bags, "Oh my god." Katie whispered, she had just eaten a large amount of food. She felt like she wasn't in control anymore. Katie immediately rushed out of the room and ran down the hall to the bathroom, she ran into the nearest stall and began to stick her finger down her throat. She then threw up, a series of coughs following the sound.
