Everything had changed since Ashley went to England. Sure, the Degrassi and the Dot still looked the same, but everything had a different feel to it, as though it were moving at a different pace and had left her behind. Or maybe it was she who had left Degrassi behind.
Now, what kind of thought is that? she asked herself, opening her notebook to scribble some lyrics that had just popped into her head. That had been happening more and more often since she came back to this place, with its memories and its history.

Paige walked into the Dot. She had school books in tow and a frown on her face. Not even a week into college and she was already burned out. She looked around and saw that her usual booth was already taken. She felt a little anger well up inside of her until she recognized the dark brown hair in the booth. She walked over and smiled. "If it isn't Princess Ashley at the Dot. Shouldn't you be off, I don't know, at some pub or something equally British oldest friend?"

Ashley smiled a greeting at her friend. She was glad to see her, but truthfully, the England comments were getting a little tiresome. Ever since she came back, all everyone wanted to talk about was England and the now-famous Alistair, and all Ash wanted to do was forget England and the now-famous Alistair. Ok, maybe not forget England...just maybe not tell the same stories over and over again.
"Nah, the pubs here aren't as good," she responds with a smile and her best British accent. "And what about you? Shouldn't you be off somewhere far away from here, like, oh, say, Banten?"

She rolls her eyes. "Yeah so about Banting. I got maybe half an hour out of Toronto and just turned back around. I so couldn't do it. Leave Toronto, no way. And ad executive..." She smiled weakly. "Basically, I thought long and hard after getting high with Alex and suddenly didn't see the point in being an ad executive. Money's nice but I have absolutely no clue why I wanted to be in advertising. So I'm at UT and an undecided major."

"Wow. What about your whole life plan? You were always so...driven." Ashley had been like that herself until she went to live with her dad for a year. Everything had just changed so much...now she didn't really know what to do. Well, I guess that ok...you do have another year to figure it out. she mused.

"Well let's not go into last year hon. Basically everything changed overnight." Right around the time I started dating Alex. Does Ash even know about that I dated Lexi? She smiled at Ashley and then looked down at her menu. "What's it like to be back at Degrassi? Contract gonnorrhea yet or was that so three years ago?"

Ash laughed out loud. It was almost like the old days. She really had missed Paige's sense of humor. She had heard some things about just how much her oldest friend had changed last year, but it wasn't the type of thing she'd ask. At least, not yet.
"Yeah, the whole gonorrhea scare is kinda over. It's all about who's going to replace you...y'know, the whole "Queen Bee" thing." She rolls her eyes toward the tile ceiling of the Dot. "It's really quite funny."
She would never admit it, but Ash couldn't help the thoughts that just would not stop ringing in her ears. When did everything about Degrassi start seeming so immature?

She laughed. "Hon, that's called a joke. Ghonnorrhea is so over. So are eating disorders... definitely last year. No clue what's going to be in this year... maybe first loves coming back?" She said this in a hinting tone. She'd heard about the kiss between Jimmy and Ashley at graduation and, being Paige, she wanted the scoop. Afterall, they were two of her first friends. If it hadn't been for them, she never would've met Spinner.

She had a ghost of an idea where Paige was going with that, but decided to ignore it. She and Jimmy were friends, no more, no less. He was a sweet guy, but definitely not boyfriend material. "Yeah...is it my imagination or is that spark between you and Spinner coming back?" she asked with a hint of teasing. She had always been good at spotting budding romance...except when it came to Ellie and Jimmy. How she had gone so wrong was beyond her, but she attributed it to jet lag. And maybe being away from everyone for a year might have had something to do with it.

"Please hon, he's with Darcy who you'll soon discover is Miss Christian USA." She laughed a little. "So no, there is nothing between me and Spin. We're friends, nothing more nothing less." She knew this was probably a lie, there was always something going on with her and Spin, even when they wouldn't admit it. Ever since they'd met the summer between grade six and seven there was something but it wasn't until grade eight that Paige would admit it, and grade nine that Spin would. "Anyway, that thing last year, it was a fling. One night stand whatever."

"Wait. 'Thing last year'? Now, this I have not heard." She'd been doing quite a bit of catching up, but this was news to her. Amazing, someone was actually able to keep a secret at this school.

"I'm suprised Darcy kept her big judgemental mouth shut. That's a shock and a half." She laughed and then looked over at Ashley. "Let's just say I sort of lost my virginity, well the willing one, whatever. And it was sort of with Spin. And sort of a one night stand." She winced at the last part because she knew Ashley's opinion of cheating. "And he was sort of with Darcy still. I just didn't know this at the time."

"Wow...Yeah, I don't really talk to Darcy much. I guess the people I do talk to don't know or don't care." She thought for a second about the last part before responding. "Wow, at least you didn't know he was still with Darcy." It was true, she was very anti-cheating, after having lost both Craig and Ali that way, but if she hadn't known, was it really her fault? "I didn't think Spinner would do that."

"There was a lot more to it than just like that though Ash. He was about to tell me I think because before I kissed him, he was hesitant." She shrugged. "But who knows because honestly, it was a long time coming." She smiled a little and then placed an order to a new waitress at the Dot. "And when you meet Darcy, and actually, y'know, talk to her, you'll feel like putting a screwdriver through your eye."

"Yeah, I always knew you and Spinner were meant to be. I guess it's no surprise he cheated...still, I can't help thinking he should've told her."
Ashley glanced at the waitress and ordered an ice cream sundae--she'd already eaten, but she didnt want to just sit there while Paige ate. Plus, she was having a total ice cream craving.
Turning back to Paige, she laughs a bit. "Yeah, I've been hearing some things about Darcy. Like, how she's a combination of major backstabbing bitch, and Queen Christian. I mean, how does that work?"
