He never graduated from Degrassi but here he was crashing their reunion selection for the reality show. He spent 3 years at Degrassi. During that time he had a pregnancy scare, a band, an obsession with photography, and different girls. When he noticed Ellie he wanted to give her a hug but he wasn't sure what she would do if he just gave her a hug so instead she calmly walked over to.
"Hello El." He said.
"Craig Manning? What are you doing here?" Ellie didn't expect to see him because he never graduated from this high school. She went into the hug he was offering. This felt strange to her.
"What kind of reunion would it be without me? You look amazing by the way. Really Ellie." Craig told her.
"Thanks you look good too." Ellie told him. She wondered if he was still clean but didn't want to ask.
"I'm still clean seven years 3 months 2 days. It's a battle I fight everyday." Craig didn't mention that he was really thankful she turned him into Joey when she did.
"That is really good. I'm waiting on Marco I have no idea what's holding him up. I know he had to teach today but Emma's here and classes got out awhile ago." Ellie didn't want to talk to Craig so instead she babbled on about nothing.
"I'll wait with you if you want?" Craig offered.
"No. I mean no thanks. I'll be fine. Really it was nice to see you." Ellie wasn't afraid to be with Craig she just didn't want to be in the position to let him get to her again. Where the hell was Marco if he was here she never would have ran into Craig alone she thought.
"Alright I hope we can catch up some more later." Craig said as she walked away. He got the feeling she didn't want him around so he entered the school to find someone who would want him around. He was sure some of his old friends would be happy to him.
He walked right into Sean Cameron. One of his first friends when he started Degrassi.
"Sean! How the hell are you!" Craig said as he gave his old friend a hug.
"I'm good, just living the Army life. How are you doing superstar?" Sean asked.
"I was good tell I got the cold shoulder form Ellie over there" Craig pointed to where Ellie stood waiting for Marco.
"She looks good man." Sean said as he looked at his ex. He hadn't talked to Ellie since the day he stayed at his parents. He remembered her from time to time.
"I guess. Sure." Craig honestly hadn't looked at her like that. She looked like Ellie his best friend. His drummer Ellie.
"What's new with you man?" Sean was crazy curious what he was doing here. As far Sean knew Craig never graduated from high school.
"Thought I'd crash the reunion. I had some down time before my next tour starts. Figured why the heck not. What about you?" Craig was happy Sean didn't act the same way Ellie did.
"Just got back from a mission, had some vacation time worked out great, thought I'd check out all my old classmates." Sean let his eyes wonder back to were Emma stood.
"Oh.. Man your still got it for Emma?" Craig noticed Seans wondering eyes.
"Shh. She married to Spinner now." Sean hushed his friend.
"Married to Spinner? What the hell happened when I left?" Craig's eyes bugged out of his head practically.
"I know, I couldn't believe it either. Just going to do this audtion and get the heck out of here." Sean said.
"Welcome back Class of 2006 and 2007! It's nice to see you all back here. If you haven't gotten a number yet please proceed over to the table and get your number we are going to start the audition process here soon." Mrs. Simpson said into the microphone.
Ellie looked at her phone. She needed to get in line, if she really wanted a number, without Marco. She wondered what was keeping him. She would hold a place for him and hope he made it soon.
Marco hit print on computer in classroom before he looked at the time. He had no idea it was so late. He ran out of his Science classroom and right into the hallway. He noticed a lot of people but he had to find Ellie. He had stood her up. When he spotted her he went up to her in the line.
"El, I am so sorry I was in my own little world working on my lesson plans." He gave her a hug as he apologized.
"I am glad you finally made it. It's okay. I had time to catch up with Ashley and Craig." Ellie told Marco.
"Craig's here? How did he even know about it. I didn't remember him being on the invite list." Marco was actually sure Craig wasn't on the list because he himself had made the list.
"I really don't know I barely talked to him." Ellie said.
"Have you seen Alex? She sent me a email about maybe not making it." Marco asked.
"No I honestly havent seen that many people I know. I cant believe this many people attended Degrassi with us." Ellie looked around again and spotted Sean Cameron. The man who left her with no money and an apartment to pay for. Ass she thought.
"Keep your figures crossed she makes it I would love to see her." Marco said.
"Wait who?" Ellie asked.
"Me!" Hazel came up behind them.
"Well you too Hazel but I was talking about Alex." Marco looked around again. Where was Alex?
"I see how it is. Do you mind if I cut you guys the line is so long." Hazel complained.
"Sure, I'm going to go give Alex a call I will be right back" Marco moved out of line to call Alex.
"You've reached me. Leave a message" Alex's voice said on her voice mail.
"Where are you? Hurry up and get here." Marco hung up the phone and walked back into the line.
The earrings in her ears were much smaller than the ones she wore in high school. Gone was the baggy pants replaced by nice skinny jeans. Alex entered her old high school. She looked for Marco but instead spotted Paige. Alex was not looking forward to seeing her ex girlfriend. After the pot incident Alex had gone and gotten a job working at the airport. Today she was a flight attendant, Alex never made it to university. She enjoyed traveling and met tons of people. One of those people she met was her current girlfriend, Casey. Her and Casey had been going strong for a little over six months.
"Alex Muniz." Paige grabbed her only ex girlfriend into a hug.
"Hi Paige." Alex stepped away from the hug.
"I didn't think this was your thing?" Paige asked.
"And you know me so well. Its not. Marco begged me to come. Have you seen him?" Alex wanted to get far away from Paige.
"Sorry Hon. I haven't. If you are staying though you might want to hop into that line over there." Paige informed her.
"I'll see you around." Alex walked away, before she made it to the line she ran into Jay.
"Lexie." Jay said as she passed by him. He was holding Manny's hand.
"Jay, hey." Alex looked between Jay and Manny and it was obvious to her they were together.
"How's your mom and Chad?" Jay asked.
"I wouldn't know. I don't talk to them anymore." Alex stared at her ex boyfriend. What in the world did she ever see him.
"That's too bad. You remember my wife Manny right?" Jay asked her.
"Your what? Your married?" Alex couldn't quite wrap her head around the fact that not only was Jay Hogart married but to one of the queen bees from high school. They both had made fun of girls like his wife in high school, when they had been together, before he gave an STD.
"Seven year going strong." Manny said.
"Congratulations to you both. Look I need to get in that line. See you both later." Alex quickly walked away.
Authors Note:
I am really enjoying writting this. I hope you enjoy reading it.
That review button up there is there for you to tell me if you like it, hate it, what you think should happen.
Thanks for reading, even if you dont leave a review.
P.S.
In case you didn't know I do not own Degrassi. Cause if I did Sean wouldn't have left, Jimmy never would have been shot and J.T. wouldnt have died and Season 10 would still about the original cast. :)
