Fiona had thought she saw someone behind a clothes rack, and thought it was Declan, she went to sneak up on him to surprise him, but was the one that was surprised. Here stood a boy who had the most amazing pair of eyes she had seen (on a guy that is). She was caught off guard and they both began stuttering. She was about to say something to him, but he gave her a bashful look, and ran out the door. Fiona wanted to follow after him, everything in her might told her too, she wanted to see this new guy. Her legs felt like stone and she tried to move them but felt stuck to the floor. She had never had a strong feeling in her gut, and all of a sudden all those love songs made sense to her.
"Fiona! are... you okay?" asked Declan, he walked up to her and started to get worried she had glazed over eyes and Declan thought she was about to cry.
"Yeah, I'm fine... i think i need to step outside for a breath of air... i will be back" she said finally feeling her legs and began strutting out the door in a fast pace.
"Please don't wander to far... you know like the roof... we still need your extraordinary fashion sense in here! These costumes wont get designed on their own!" Declan yelled after her.
Fiona ran out the drama door and could not find one trace of this stranger. She began walking around the halls of Degrassi.
...
Justin ran back towards the Gym, his heart was beating and those feelings that he had for Juliet were coming back, but he wasn't thinking about Juliet, he couldn't get the girl from the drama room out of his head. She had such a soft looking face, and as hard as he could he couldn't stop thinking of it. He sat on the floor by the bleachers as Zeke and the Power Squad continued with their routines. He promised to never leave Juliet... but there was no way she was coming back... no matter how many spell books he read, and no matter how much Dark Arts studying he did...there was no way to fully bring Juliet back. So should he move on... or was it too soon. He still wanted to be respectful towards Juliet, and it felt so wrong to start liking someone else, but he couldn't fight this feeling.
Time had gone so fast, well time had felt as if it went too fast, and Zeke ran up to Justin.
"hey buddy! are you okay? practice is over right now... what's the plan now?"
Justin was startled, he hadn't realized that the practice was over. He got up and dusted off his backside, "Max was in the back playing Basketball so we should go get him first, and Alex and Harper should be around her somewhere." he said, still lost in thought.
Zeke started bouncing towards the exit, Justin walked behind him trying to clear his head and continue thinking of what him and his family were going to do now.
...
Alex and Harper had walked around the school and ended up being back at The Dot, for some reason it just seemed like a chill place to be at, and Alex wanted to see Peter again.
Peter noticed Alex was walking in so he got up fast and went to go greet her, complementing himself in his head for not tripping when he rushed out of his seat.
"Hey Alex! The band is having a practice in an hour , and we were wondering if you could fill in on drums, since our drummer has to work overtime... which is kind of my fault since Holly J left..." said Peter grimacing.
Alex laughed and agreed, Peter was trying to hold in his excitement and wanted to play it cool, he nodded and motioned for the two to follow him up to there practice room in The Dot.
Harper was looking back hoping that the boys would come and get them, she still had a weird feeling towards Peter... like something wasn't right with him.
Once they got inside they noticed that there was furniture and the room seemed homey. In the middle was a bunch of band equipment. Danny and Sav were tuning their instruments and Peter walked over to the drum set and picked up the drumsticks, Alex sat behind the kit and playfully tried to get the drumsticks from Peter. The two were playing for awhile until Danny interrupted them with a loud cough. Peter walked up to the mic stand, Harper sat on a sofa and watched in anticipation.
The band began shredding, and Alex picked up the songs quick, the band was impressed, Alex couldn't stop grinning, she had never played with an actual band before. She could get used to all of this.
Harper couldn't help smiling either, it had been such a long time since she was able to see Alex in a good mood. She couldn't remember the last time Alex was so happy.
...
Zeke, Justin, and Max were walking towards The Dot, Max had gotten super hungry, which was nos surprise, so they decided to check and see if the girls were here. Spinner noticed that these guys before, one was his new employee.
"Uhm Justin..right? If you were looking for the girl's you came with earlier today, their upstairs, just walk in, the door should be open"
"Oh uhm thanks! Do you know how long they've been here?" asked Justin kind of shocked that this big muscular guy remembered his name, even if he was the boss, it was still weird.
"No I'm sorry i don't know for sure but it hasn't been too long." said Spinner turning towards the customer standing at the register.
"Thanks again, and I will be here tomorrow to work, ...on time... i promise" said Justin trying to control his word vomit, as he ran up the stairs behind Zeke and Max.
There was obviously a band practicing but what would Alex be doing up here? asked Justin to himself in his head. The three boys walked in to see the Studz performing with Alex behind the drums. Harper was sitting on a couch head banging along with the music. Justin started smiling after seeing how much fun his sister was having. It had been far too long for both of them.
After a couple of songs, the band decided that rehersals were over. Peter kept praising Alex, and Danny and Sav kept whispering to each other about Peter as they put their instruments away. They both thought he was trying to hard for this girl but at least he was trying.
After Peter and Alex talked Alex ran over to her family smiling, she was shaking from all the excitement.
"Hey Justin I asked Peter if we could crash up here for a couple of nights until we have our own apartment, and he said it was okay." said Alex looking towards Justin, even he seemed happier then he had been.
"Alex are you sure? I mean you barely met the guy." said Justin keeping his voice down.
Peter walked up and put an arm around Alex, "Yeah if you guys need a place to stay for awhile you guys could stay up here, I'm hardly hear anyways, I'm always at my moms house, so you guys could hang hear on your own, you know do your own things. Yeah just don't wreck the place."
Justin didn't like the fact that this random guy was putting his arm over his sister's shoulder, he was getting extremely irritated over this and he wanted to refuse the offer, but he knew that they needed a safe place to stay, He had to put the family's well-being first.
"Thank you for your offer, we really appreciated, but this isn't going to be a long stay, i assure you. " said Justin smugly.
"like i said, as long as you need a place to stay." said Peter holding his hand out so he and Justin could shake hands, he wanted to give Alex a good impression.
Justin shook Peter's hand but still was unsure of this new 'friend.'
