Chapter 40: Double Date

Ellie and I were walking to her house…

Ellie: Ok, what was that about?
Alex: What?
Ellie: that… you all over protective, threatening, crazy person…that…
She sure was being over dramatic considering I didn’t even touch the prude-head.

Alex: Come on Nash, you know what kind of person she is…
Ellie: tell me… what kind?
Alex: The popular kind…the kind that becomes your friend but splits as soon as she doesn’t need you.

Ellie: Well… Paige isn’t like that…
Alex: I’m sure that she has you believed that she isn’t.
Ellie: No really Alex… she isn’t… she’s very nice…
Alex: is this your queer friend Marco talking?
You know he’s the same kind, don’t you?

There was a moment of silence between us…
Alex: Ellie?
Ellie: She helped me Alex… when I was in trouble… she helped me through it.

Her declaration caught me by surprise.
Were we even talking about the same Paige here?
Because the Paige I knew was the one who told Ashley about Manny and Craig when I specifically heard Manny pleading to her not to tell anyone about her condom incident in the bathroom and her promising not to.
And when Ashley announced to everyone in the caf that they were pregnant…
The laughter that sprung in the caf when all eyes were at Manny and Craig…
Paige was the mole…

Ellie: You know not everyone is bad … some people might actually be nice.
Alex: anyway… I know how she feels about someone like me…
Ellie: and have you given her a choice?
What? and risk damaging my reputation by being nice to a cheerleader…

Alex: so… you were actually considering hanging out with her?
Ellie: I’ve hung out with her before…
Alex: yeah but…
Ellie: don’t worry Alex… tomorrow… I’ve to be at Degrassi…
Alex: tomorrow’s a Saturday you dork.
I chuckled
Ellie: yeah I know… tomorrow, the detention room awaits me.
That was amusing news… Ellie Nash had a detention on Saturday…

Alex: you got a detention tomorrow? For what?
Ellie: for being late a few times…
Alex: well, that makes two of us… I’m late for work…
I gotta run Nash. Bye.

--next week--

Ellie told me that ‘the Saturday detention’ brought Sean and her together… God sure works in mysterious ways…

Amy apparently had rejuvenated feelings for Sean and totally hated this whole setup with Ellie and Sean.
I just told her to get over it since it was she who broke it off with Sean in the first place.
I don’t know why she’s behaving like a child who wants a toy just because they can’t have it …

Ellie and Sean … an item…now who would’ve thought of that happening?
And I thought Sean and that Paige…
now who in their right mind would ever wanna date her…
high maintenance bitch… dating her must be a torture…
just the thought made me giggle…
no wonder she dates that pumpkin head…
I’m just happy for Sean and Ellie for more than one reason.

Hazel, Spinner and I were walking to the school when a car stopped near us and we heard Marco calling us…
“Guys, guys…check it out okay...
we stopped and turned as Marco came out holding a poster in his hand
It’s the poster for the semi-formal
Watch… hunh…
It’s themed on those movie musicals from India…
So hot right now”
I shrugged my shoulder and looked at both Haze and Spin not sure of what to say to Marco… but Spin couldn’t resist…
“Yeah if you’re big flaming …”
Spinner stopped as he saw Marco’s dad coming out of the car.
“… Mr. Del Rossi… what are you doing at our school on this fine morning?”

Apparently Marco and Ellie had designed the theme poster for the semi-formal with both of their pictures on it… which was cute…
As Marco’s dad left, Marco started walking with us…

Paige: so any plans after school?
Marco: I’m going out with Ellie?
Paige: still working on the semi-formal?
Marco: no we’re going to watch a movie…
Paige: But didn’t you guys go there last Saturday?
Hon, you are still gay right?

Marco: Yes Paige, I’m still gay. It’s just that Ellie wants Sean and me to get along…
Paige: you and Sean? I don’t get it? Is Sean too…, you know?
I shrugged to let Marco use his prediction skills to finish the rest of my sentence

Marco: No, Paige no.
Marco looked shocked by the thought…
But soon the shock on his face had turned into a know-it-all grin…
Wait, you seriously don’t know this?

Paige: know what? …I’m really falling behind on the gossip thing… aren’t I?
Marco: Listen to this… Sean and Ellie are dating!
He’d said it with all the excitement but still kept his voice soft enough so no one else would hear it.

Paige: Sean and Ellie are dating? What? When did this happen?
Marco: last week. They even double dated with Jay and Alex;
and don’t ask me how I know.
He looked a little embarrassed so I didn’t push it.

Paige: Hmmm.
Great …
First Terri ends up in the hospital and now I’m finding out that
my friends are double dating with Jay and Alex!
What is this school coming down to?
rest of the way to my first class, I thought about Ellie being Sean’s girlfriend…
now that I think about it…Sean did kept staring at us the whole time that we were sitting outside Degrassi, the other day …
…now that I think about it, it did make sense…

Jay and I double dated with Ellie and Sean which was pretty awkward as most double dates are.
The theater was jam packed and to add to the awkwardness...
Ellie brought her gay friend along which pretty much ruined it for everyone.

Sean and Ellie’s relationship did survive the gay attack and
Sean was doing well in his own apartment.
We were happy because now our gang had a new hang out place… his house…

But then Jay’s friendship with Sean got ruined when Amy got alcohol poisoned and paramedics had to come and take her to the hospital…
I’m just glad she’s okay now.
After that there were no more parties in Sean’s house
Neither with us nor with the Montréal crew…
We still talked to Sean but it just wasn’t the same.
