Chapter 1

It hadn't been the normal alarm clock that woke Emma Nelson up. It was the phone this time.
She grumbled and rolled around in her bed for a minute before turning down her light plum sheer covers and flapping her hand over her nightstand until she grabbed her silver cordless phone. She took it off her receiver and pressed the TALK button.
"Hello?" she grumbled groggily into the phone.
"Hey Hun, it's me," Paige Michalchuck's voice sang out into the receiver.
"Paige, what time is it?" Emma asked.
"Time for you to get up. Its 7:15, school starts at 8 and if you want to pick up a muffin and a latté with me and Hazel at The Dot, you gotta get up, we'll be at your house at 7:30, okay?"
Emma nodded and then realized Paige can't see what she's doing, "Yeah, sure, see you in fifteen," Emma said and clicked off her phone.
Thank God she had taken a shower last night because there wouldn't be any time to this morning.

It was the first day of her junior year.
After last year, Paige and Hazel had become her friends along with Jimmy-who was thankfully recovering well, even though he was still in a wheelchair and paralyzed for the waist down, Marco, and Spinner-but barely since the whole Rick incident. They had started hanging out after Christmas break when Emma and Manny got into this big blowout at Spirit Squad practice since Manny had broken JT's heart-again. Paige thought it was cool how she defended her friend like that since JT and Paige were friends and suddenly, boom, Emma was in the popular crowd.
She glanced around her room, there were pictures of her and her friends, her, Spike, Snake and now 2 year old Jack and a picture Emma had taken of Jay, Alex, Sean, and Ellie. She and Sean had made a truce and now were on speaking terms. But no one saw him since he moved back to Wasaga Beach.
She got up from her bed and walked to her closet, she pulled out a hot pink off the shoulder tee shirt and a white pleated skirt that rode just to her thighs. She grabbed a pair of hot pink platform thong flip flops and slid them onto her feet, showing off her silver toenails with white flowers painted on. She spiral curled her hair and it grazed just to her chest, she slid her white messenger bag over her shoulder and walked up the basement steps to wait on the main floor of her house.
In 2 minutes Paige showed up and honked her car horn.
Emma stepped outside and saw Paige and Hazel sitting in the front seats of Paige's brand new yellow jeep which was a gift over the summer from her parents and older brother Dylan.
"Hey," Emma said and climbed in the back seat.
"Cute outfit Em," Hazel said with a smile, staring Emma's outfit up and down.
"You think? I thought I looked like a dork," Emma said with a laugh.
"Hun, you look fine, relax," Paige said from the driver's seat, pulling away from the curb and towards The Dot.
The girls finished up eating at The Dot; they had 2 minutes left to get to school since Paige began to ramble on to Spinner, Jimmy, and Marco who had met them there about how insane it was that Heather Sinclair got a nose job that looked as fake as Pamela Anderson's breasts. It had taken them so long that they had forgotten about school. They pulled into the Degrassi Community School parking lot and nearly ran to the school.
Emma brushed right past Jay Hobart's Honda Civic and straight up the school steps, unaware of the fight Jay had going on in his car with Alex.

"What is with you? Are you attracted to Cause Girl or something?" Alex asked, annoyed as she stared back at Jay who was staring after Emma.
"No. I still feel sorry for her, that's all," Jay defended himself.
"Why? Because freak boy pointed the gun at her? There are people that worse things happened to Jay, you know like Jimmy? Or even Sean, who got shot in the arm, or freak boy himself, who got killed,"
"I thought you got along with Emma," Jay said.
Alex began to get out of the car, "Not as much as you obviously do," she said, slamming the door and running up the Degrassi Community School steps.

Emma twirled in her combination to her new locker, which was right next to JT Yorke's.
"Face it, I'm sexy!" she heard JT holler.
She let out a laugh and looked over to who he was talking to, she saw JT walking backwards talking to Paige.
"Okay, cutie, whatever," Paige said with a laugh, "watch out for-"
Just then JT's back crashed into Emma's side.
"Emma," Paige finished.
"Yeah, ow," Emma joked, rubbing her arm.
"Sorry, but I made good aim, my locker's right here," JT said with a grin and began to twirl in his combination but then stopped.
"Crap, I forgot it," he said.
"Typical," Emma joked with him with JT returned with a playful hit on her arm.
"Hi JT...Emma," Liberty Van Zandt said stiffly, brushing past 2 of her old friends with Manny walking alongside her.
"Morning Emma, JT," Craig Manning and his girlfriend, twice removed, Ashley Kerwin said as they walked past them, arms around each other.
"My aren't people cheerful this year?" JT asked with a goofy grin.
Emma laughed and rolled her eyes at JT's joke.
She grabbed one of her notebooks, a new pencil and a folder and shut her locker, her purse still slung over her shoulder.
"Let's get to homeroom," she said to JT as the two headed off to the Media Immersion room.

"Everybody settle down!" Mr. Simpson called out to his beckoning class.
Everybody finally stopped talking and turned to Mr. Simpson.
"Now, there is going to be a new MI teacher," Mr. Simpson continued.
Everybody started yelling at Mr. Simpson wondering what he was talking about.
"Did you know?" JT asked, turning to Emma.
Her mouth was slightly ajar and she shook her head.
"Don't worry, your new teacher knows just as much about computers and the internet as I do, everybody please meet Mr. Newpeak," Mr. Simpson said, "bye guys," he said with a wave, and put a baseball cap over his once again bald head and walked out of the classroom as a very familiar person stepped into the classroom.
"No," Emma whispered, shaking her head.
"I thought he got arrested," JT whispered over towards her, even though he had never seen Jordan, he figured it was him by the scared look on Emma's face.
"So did I," Emma said, her eyes wide.
- - - - -
"Hello everyone, I'm Jordan Newpeak, or Mr. Newpeak for all of you,"
"Oh my God," Manny said quietly, from where she was seated right behind Emma.
"What?" Liberty whispered to Manny.
"That's Jordan, he's the psycho Emma met over the net," JT said, rolling his chair over to them.
Manny looked over at Emma who was sunk so low in her chair, she could fall down.
"Do you guys want to share with the class?" Jordan asked aloud.
JT spun around and Jordan nudged his head back towards JT's desk.
"Well let's learn everybody's name." Jordan said with a smug smile.
"What are we five?" Emma whispered.
"You, blonde who has been sinking in her chair, what's your name?" Jordan asked.
Emma's eyes widened and she sat up.
Toby glanced at Emma and then back at Jordan, he could tell who it was just by the look on Emma's face.
"Her name is-"
"I asked the blonde, not the boy with glasses five seats away," Jordan said.
Emma muttered something under her breath.
"What was that?"
"Emma," Emma squeaked.
Jordan got a somewhat excited look in his eyes, the type that made JT want to sock his eyes out.
"And I'm JT," JT said with a cocky grin, nodding his head.
Jordan nodded at him and then turned back to Emma.
"So Emma, what are you interested in?" Jordan asked.
"It's not nice to pick favorites," Liberty said aloud.
"I agree," Heather Sinclair said along with Manny, JT, and Toby.
Jordan looked almost angry but he just nodded and then went on to the kids in the back of the room, all who happened to be girls.
Emma turned to Liberty and mouthed thank you with a thankful smile.
Liberty smiled at her, "Don't worry about it,"
