Disclaimer: I own a laptop, a myspace account, and a very smart & witty brain. I however do not own degrassi or its characters =)
So I am now back at school in Florida. Thanksgiving dinner at my house went great and very peaceful. Well it was peaceful until Alex and I got into an argument about who would get the last slice of pie. Brian settled it for us, by eating the last slice himself.
Apparently after I left Paige returned to Toronto for some strange reason. Alex called me and told me about it. She doesn't know why Paige is back in town but she thinks something is up. I KNOW something is up, just not what exactly.
She's the girl all the bad guys want. Yeah, she's the girl all the bad guys want.
I answer my phone before it wakes up my roommate. "I'm glad you called at a reasonable time this time," I say into the phone. It's only 11:30 pm which is a reasonable time in college world.
"Does your best friend usually kiss you out of nowhere and then tell you it was a good night kiss?" Alex asks.
"Well have you ever kissed me out of nowhere and said it was a good night kiss?"
"No," Alex pauses for a minute. "Well there was that July 4th night when we got really drunk…"
"Shh," I interrupt her, not wanting to relive that memory. "Like you said, I was drunk and celebrating the birth of America. Besides, I have a feeling this is not the same situation."
"Out of nowhere she grabbed my face and kissed me."
"Then why are you dating her?" I'm slightly confused right now.
"What? I'm not dating her dumb ass."
"You and Carla broke up? When did this happen?"
Alex groans in frustration. "Paige kissed me."
Now that makes sense. "Oh. You should have said that earlier. Now why did Paige kiss you?"
"I don't know! That's why I'm asking you!"
"There is no need to shout," I tell her. "Maybe she still has feelings for you and wants to jump your bones." I start laughing.
"If you're not going to take this seriously…"
My laughter subsides. "I'm sorry but I'm not going to pretend I'm surprised that something like this happened."
"But I have a girlfriend."
"Didn't you say that Paige kissed you? You didn't kiss Paige, there's an actual difference."
"Yeah, I mean I was caught off guard and had my eyes open."
"You had your eyes open? What the hell Alex."
"I was caught off guard!"
"Well if you didn't close your eyes then I'm guessing you also didn't kiss her back. So I don't understand what the big deal is. Maybe, just maybe, you're making this a bigger deal than what it really is."
"Or maybe this is a big deal and you're just not seeing it."
"It's a big deal because it's you and Paige. If this was anybody else who had kissed you then you wouldn't be calling me but you did call me and only because it's Paige who kissed you. Listen, you have a girlfriend and if Paige says it was just a good-night kiss then, pretend it was just a good-night kiss. Speaking of which, good-night Alex."
Alex sighs loudly. "Good-night," she says.
I close my phone. Those two will be the death of me even though I'm all the way in Florida.
Next Day:
I'm sitting in the Figg Player's Dining Room right now with some hall mates. The topic of discussion today is relationships, because for some reason God has decided to punish me.
"Boys are just stupid," my roommate Amy says.
"Then why do you date them?" I ask her.
"I might hate boys but I love penis."
"Ewe!" Everyone at the table starts laughing.
"Jordan have you even tried being with a guy?" my hall mate Erin asks.
"Have you ever tried being with a girl?" I ask her back.
"Why Jordan, are you asking me out?" Erin raises an eyebrow.
I take a sip of my Sprite and shake my head. "You're too wild for me."
Erin slides her hand up and down my arm in a seductive manner. "You could try to tame me."
"Alright, you're done."
The rest of the table starts talking about guys again and I just eat my food. I love when straight girls complain about guys and the stuff guys do yet they all keep dating guys. I don't understand what
makes a guy attractive anyway I mean most of them aren't that bright and they tend to keep their feelings to themselves all the time, although that's probably nice sometimes.
A weird feeling just overcame me. It feels like someone is watching me and it's a creepy watching. I turn my head slightly and look.
"Jesus Christ," I say in surprise.
"What?" Amy asks.
"That," I tell the table and point to the weirdo smiling and waving at me. God damn Tammy Mason and her craziness.
"Who's that?" Erin asks.
"Tammy Mason. Weird perky girl who won't leave me the hell alone. That girl has had a crush on me ever since the tenth grade and for some reason she thinks she has a chance with me which she doesn't and I've made it very clear."
"Well maybe you should give her a chance," Amy says.
"What?!? No, no, and no."
"Jordan, you need to get your ass out there and start dating."
"I will date anyone but her."
"Yeah, ok. Then why haven't you?"
"I just haven't found the right girl yet. Now enough about me and let me hear more about these guy problems all of you seem to be having."
I look at Tammy's table again and that girl is still looking at me. That is one creepy girl.
Later That Night:
She's the girl all the bad guys want. Yeah, she's the girl all the bad guys want.
Just as I'm about to go to sleep Alex calls. Well at least she didn't call while I was sleeping. I flip open my phone.
"Let me guess," I say before she can say anything. "Paige kissed you again."
"No but she did do something," Alex says angrily. I have a feeling this is not going to be a happy phone conversation.
"What'd she do this time?"
"She's been lying to me Jordan, to all of us."
"About…"
"School! She came to karaoke night tonight telling us she got some big mid-semester scholarship to Toronto U, which I knew was complete bullshit. Then today in her car I found exam booklets with D's and F's on them and a term paper with a 0."
"Alright, calm down Alex."
"No Jordan! She lied to me. To me of all people!"
"Well have you spoken to her about it?"
"No."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to call her mom and tell her what I saw. I think she deserves to know what's going on in Paige's life."
"Do what you have to do. I'll talk to you later."
"Good-night." Click.
I knew something was going on with Paige and school but I didn't know it was to this extent. Sometimes a person has to fail before they can succeed.
Next Day:
She's the girl all the bad guys want. Yeah, she's the girl all the bad guys want.
"Yo," I answer the phone.
"Hey."
"How'd everything turn out?"
"Well she told her mom everything and she's staying in Toronto. She's not really sure what she's going to do yet though."
"Well I'm glad the truth came out."
"Yeah, me too. You're not flunking out of school are you."
I laugh at the idea of it. "No, I'm actually doing quite well. And hey, in four weeks I'll be home for thanksgiving break."
"Oo can't wait. I'll talk to you later."
"Laters."
I hang up the phone. Paige is back in Toronto now. Hmm… I wonder how long this relationship between Carla and Alex will last now.
A/N: So someone guessed how I'm naming my chapter this time aound but the guess was wrong. guess again peeps!
