A/N: The reason why this chapter is so short is to build up to the next chapter. So yeah, this is a filler. And everyone please remember that in the world of Degrassi ANYTHING can happen =)

Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi or its characters.

P.S. so I deleted my author's note chapter which I shouldn't have done cuz it screwed everything over. so that means you can't review this chapter because you already reviewed A chapter 38. so just send my a private message instead =)

If I could drop out of college right now and still be successful I totally would. I mean I do have a trust fund but I'm pretty sure the parents would take that away if I dropped out of college. As you probably guessed, yes school has started once again. Not only are my classes kicking my ass but I also have an internship at 96.3 Northern Florida's best country music station. Have I ever mentioned how much I despise country music? Because I really do.

You're probably wondering how the rest of the summer went. Well Major learned how to walk and we're all very proud of him. Alex, Beth, and I continued working our summer jobs. Paige went back to L.A. and with the help of Jason and apparently Andrea, her old boss from that fashion magazine in Toronto; she was able get a job with Rebecca James. Apparently she's some big fashion designer, I don't know. Also, Alex and Paige are slowly, but surely, mending their friendship.

"Jordan, we're out of milk," Sage tells me.

Oh yeah and I'm sharing an apartment with Alex and Sage. I'm actually on the couch right now, which I picked out, trying to do homework for my Writing for the Electronic Media class.

"Not my problem," I tell her. "I drink skim milk. You and Alex are the ones that drink whole."

"Yeah but it's your turn to go grocery shopping."

"Didn't you just go grocery shopping last Thursday?"

Sage walks over to me and plops down on the couch. "Yeah," she answers. "But then we had that party on Saturday which took up most of our food."

"Damn Amy and her impromptu parties." I sigh. "Alright, I'll go after my Radio Practicum class. Just make sure you have the list and coupons out by tonight."

"Will do," Sage sings.

I hear Alex on the other side of the front door unlocking the door. She enters the apartment door and instantly throws the keys onto the counter. Alex drops her book bag down onto the floor and plops down on the couch next to Sage.

"Hey," Sage greets her.

"Hey," Alex says in a tired voice. "I'm beat."

"I'm a carrot," I tell them and smile.

Sage and Alex are both looking at me with weird facial expressions.

"You said you were a beat so I said I was a carrot," I tell them. They're still staring. I shrug my shoulders. "I thought it was funny and clever."

"I still don't get you sense of humor," Sage says.

"I've known her for four years and I still don't get her sensee of humor," Alex tells her.

"Oh screw you guys," I tell them.

I go back to my homework. Sage and Alex are talking about something that is totally not relevant nor important to me so I just don't care. I see Alex reach for the television remote and the TV comes on.

"Really?" I ask. "I'm trying to do school work."

"And this is why you have a bedroom that you can do your school work in," Alex says and smiles at me.

I narrow my eyes. "I'll smack that smile right off your face," I tell her.

"Mhm, sure you will."

I close my textbook and place my homework on the floor. I might as well take a break, God knows I need one. Alex is just flipping through the channels like she usually does. I really don't care what we watch so I'm just going to let her continue doing her flipping.

"Michalchuk."

Wait, what was that? Alex and I are looking at each other with wide eyes.

"Turn back you dumbass!" I yell.

Alex flips back to the channel we think we just heard Paige's last name. Kim Kardashian is on some red carpet for some event talking to someone from Fashion Weekly.

"Paige Michalchuk?" the reporter asks. "I've never heard of her before."

"Well according to Rebecca James, Paige is the next big thing and when Rebecca showed me this dress that Paige designed I knew I had to wear it," Kim says.

Oh my God! THE Kim Kardashian is wearing something Paige designed! Our Paige! Oh my God!

"Well Kim you always did have an eye for good taste and I know how much you love being the first one to wearing something new in the fashion world," the reporter says.

"Did she just say Paige Michalchuk?" Alex asks.

I'm nodding my head, also not believing what I just heard.

"Call Paige," I tell her.

Alex literally just jumped off the couch. She runs to the counter and grabs her phone.

"Paige!" she says excitedly into the phone.

"Put her on speaker!" I tell Alex as I also jump off the couch and run over to the kitchen counter.

"Hey hon," Paige greets us. "Why do you sound out of breath?"

"We just heard your name on tv," I tell her quickly. "And it was over something good and surprising, not bad."

"Oh my God, you heard the news?" she asks.

"More like we saw it," Alex says. "Why didn't you tell us Kim Kardashian was going to wear one of your designs?"

There's silence on the phone. Why is there silence?

"AHHHHHHH!" Paige screams.

I cover my ears but the damage has already been done. Paige just made me deaf.

"Oh-my-GOD!" Paige yells excitedly. "You better not be lying to me Lexie."

"I'm not," Alex says. "Sage, Jordan, and I just saw Kim Kardashian on some red carpet and she told the reporter that she's wearing one of YOUR designs."

"Oh my God! I didn't… I didn't know Kim Kardashian was wearing one of my designs."

"Wait, what news did you think we heard?" I ask Paige.

"Well Ms. James has been really impressed by my designs and hard work and… I'm one of the designers for the 10 Designers to Watch for New York's Fashion Week!"

Oh my God! This is HUGE! For those of you that don't know, New York Fashion Week is HUGE in the fashion world. It's so huge that even I know about it.

"Paige, that's huge!" I tell her. "Congratulations!"

"But wait hon, there's more! Ms. James said that I could fly some of my friends out to New York to help promote me and to be my support system. So I was wondering, are you two busy next weekend?"

Alex and I look at each other. We haven't been to New York in FOREVER.

"Oh we are so there," I tell Paige.

"I'm in," Alex says.

We hear someone quietly clear their throat. Alex and I turn our heads and Sage is looking at us. Oh yeah, we totally just forgot about Sage, oops.

Alex takes the phone out of speaker. "Hey Paigey, is there room for Sage to come as well?" Alex asks her.

I think I just saw a hint of anger flash across Sage's face when Alex called Paige "Paigey". Alex is nodding her head to whatever Paige is saying.

"Yeah I completely understand," Alex says. "You can only invite a certain amount of people."

I whistle quietly. It's not looking good for the home team.

"Yeah, just email Jordan or me with the details later," Alex says into the phone. "And Paige, I'm really proud of you. Talk to you later."

Alex hangs up the phone. She looks over at Sage with an apologetic look on her face.

"Paige could only get a certain amount of seats and you know hotel rooms cost in New York and there was Marco and some of her friends she wanted to bring with her," Alex tells Sage. "She's really sorry though."

Sage crosses her arms across her chest. "Yeah, I bet she is," she says.

Alex sighs. "Sage, please don't," she pleads.

"Don't what Alex? I didn't say anything. I am 100% sure Paige isn't able to get anymore tickets. It's totally understandable. Besides, I have a big project due soon and I'll need the whole weekend next weekend to work on it anyway."

Sage gets up from the couch and walks to her and Alex's bedroom. Sage goes into the bedroom and closes the door. Alex sighs and sits down on the couch. I sit down beside her.

"Maybe I shouldn't go," she says.

I'm shaking my head. "Nu-uh," I tell her, disagreeing. "We're going to New York to support Paige. This is really big for her and we are always there for each other when something big happens in our lives. Remember how we celebrated Marco getting a job at that interior decorating place? That was a big moment for him, therefore we celebrated."

"I just don't want to upset Sage."

"Sage will get over it. You and Paige are rebuilding your friendship, therefore you have to go. Also New York is on the opposite side of the country than L.A. which means since the L.A. trip was so horrible the New York trip HAS to be fantastic."

Alex is looking at me weirdly. "Sometimes I fail to understand your sense of logic."

"No one understands my sense of logic, which is completely ok with me. Now let's go buy some plane tickets."

Alex nods her head. New York is going to be fun. I mean, what can go wrong? Right? Right?

A/N: What happens in New York stays in New York right? Hmm...
