Summary: It is the 1st day back to school. Over the summer Paige and Spinner broke up and Paige is on a mission to make his regret every minute of it.

Paige fumbled around her bedroom. Where are my black strappy sandals? She tore through her closet on a rampage. "PAIGE!! 15 minutes!" her mother yelled from the bottom of the stairs. She finally found them at the bottom of her shoe rack. She put them on stood in front of the mirror. She adjusted her light sparkly pink top and smoothed out her black mini skirt. She applied one last coat of her cherry lip gloss and was on her way out. Her mom greeted her at the bottom of the step. "Um. Paige, honey don't you think your outfit is a little too much for the first day of school?"

"Mom, I really don't feel like justifying my superb sense of style with your pre dark ages sense of fashion ok? Now if you don't mind I would like to go to school with out further investigation form the mom police."

Paige's mom gave her a stern look. "Ok, well here's your lunch." Paige gave out a short laugh.

"I know you don't expect me to carry around that hideous lunch bag now do you?" Paige said raising an eyebrow.

"Well why not?" she replied putting her hands on her hips.

"Because number 1, no one cool packs their lunch, and number 2 it will totally clash with my outfit. I'll just grab something at school. Chow parental unit!" she blew a kiss and left her baffled mom at the end of the staircase.

The students of Degrassi Community School were rushing around the halls and outdoors greeting each other and dishing the latest gossip from over the summer. Paige stood at the edge of the steps and took a deep breath and exhaled with a satisfied grin. She always loved the first day of school. It gave her a chance to show off her latest clothing and make all the girls green with envy. She loved the feeling of people staring at her girls who wanted to be her and guy who wanted date her. But this year she wanted to make someone in particular jealous of her and that person was Spinner. After a summer of arguments and Spinner cheating on her Paige finally decided to dump him. Since their break up Spinner has been trying to make Paige his once again.

"PAIGE!!!" Hazel waved and walked up to her friend. "You look great!"

"I know right? You're not looking half bad yourself hun. Where is your boy toy at?" Paige began walking up the steps, Hazel followed. It seemed as though Hazel was always the one following Paige.

"Oh he's over talking to Spinner." Hazel bit her bottom lip after saying Spinner's name.

"Hun, there is no need to act this way. I'm totally over him I have more important things on my mind like if this new eye shadow really makes my eyes stand out or not?" Paige said with a smile as she walked through the doors of Degrassi.

"I'm just surprised how well you are taking all of this Paige, I mean you and Spin were together for a long time."

"Yea, I know but it's not like I should stop my life over it. My name is not Ashley Kerwin."

At that moment Ashley walked up. "Did I just hear my name mentioned?" she asked with a curious look.

"As a matter of a fact you did, I was just asking where has my oldest friend as been." Ashley wasn't sure if she should believe Paige or not but she wasn't going to second guess her because she remembered how she made her life hell before when they were in an argument.

"Oh, well I just got here, I'm waiting for Craig to show up. He said he would be here early."

Paige looked at Hazel, then back at Ashley. "Ash, I thought you and Craig were over? I mean he did make a total ass out of you. And you did meet someone over the summer didn't you?"

"Well, yea I did meet that John guy. But, it wasn't the same. I don't know. Craig and I are just friends. And there is nothing wrong with being friends right?"

"Yea just like there is nothing wrong with having a mullet. Sure you can have one but that doesn't make socially acceptable." Paige continued on her way to her locker. Hazel gave Ashley a sympathetic look and caught up with Paige. Spinner and Jimmy were waiting at her locker. Hazel gave Jimmy a hug and kiss.

"Ugh, guys get a room." Paige said as she rolled her eyes.

"Hello to you too Paige." Jimmy grinned. Paige smiled back then she began to put in her locker combination. It was jammed and she was struggling to open it.

"Here I got it." Spinner said reaching over for the lock.

"No, Spin I got it." Paige said swatting his hands out of the way.

"Paige, just let me get it. You won't be able to do it. Mine does this all the time." Spinner grabbed for the locker again. Paige tried to pull it back. Spinner pulled back his way the lock opened as Paige was pulling back. Paige fell backwards in the middle of the hall. People in the hall began snickering.

"Thanks a lot Spinner." Paige got up and angrily put her stuff in her locker. Then she marched down the hall.

"Way to go Spin, way to go." Jimmy said laughing and shaking his head.

Paige walked in to her homeroom. She threw down her purse and took a seat next to Ashley.

"Whoa Paige what's wrong?" Ash asked looking over at her friend.

"Spinner Mason, is what is wrong. If I survive this year with his presence around me it will be a miracle"

"Well I do have some good news." Ash said excitedly.

"You finally crossed over into the world of pastels again?" Paige said under her breath.

"What?"

"Nothing, what is your exciting news hun?"

"Well my parents are going away for the weekend and I have the whole house to myself. So I was thinking that we could have a back to school party. You know get people together and catch up on things."

"Well that sounds peachy." Paige said dryly.

"I thought it would be fun ya know?" Ashley said in a small voice. Paige lightened up a bit.

"You're right, sorry. I was just upset with Spin. If you need any help let me know ok?" Paige said with a smile, Ashley smiled back.

"Thanks Paige, I will start making a list of stuff now." Ashley took out her notebook and began jotting down a list. Paige felt someone staring at her. She looked back and saw Alex and Jay whispering to each other and laughing. Paige rolled her eyes and turned back around. So this is the way I'm going to start the new school year off. She thought. The final bell rang and she settled back into her seat to listen to the announcements.
