Good morning, sleeping cutie. If you really loved me, you wouldn't hurt my

this early.

Gotta drop the store key with Jimmy, hit the bank, groceries, and a job

interview. Tray multitask.

So what am I gonna do all day?

How about you recharge after the last two weeks? Your final Degrassi semester

got you those crazy great grades you were after.

Yet not even straight A's could get my mom to ditch Chad, the freeloading con

man. So much for moving back home.

Hon, I know it's hard, but you can stay here until you get back on your feet.

Bye.

Paige, how long is Alex crashing?

Like, is she looking for a job, or... Her last preference is from a strip bar.

She needs help and time.

Yeah, well, who's gonna help her ditch the TV remote and pick up the want ads?

Hon, you and I are lucky enough not to know what it's like when your parents

screw you over.

Sympathy, Sibuplay?

Thank you.

So can I go to my life -changing interview?

We'll discuss this later, okay?

Andrea?

Okay, guess not.

Are you the new girl?

Paige, it is so good to meet you, Andrea.

Andrea. Andrea, of course.

So much for a good first impression, right?

Look, this job you're going to iron more clothes than you wear, okay?

Well, how about chiffons? I mean, steaming, sure, but will the malandrinos

really hold up?

Malandrinos? We've been practicing that at home, haven't we? My whole life.

Clothes geek.

Who's been aboard that you like this season?

Chanel's, the restaurant wearable.

Look, I need someone at my beck and call.

Totally committed.

Look, I will get coffees. I will pin hems. I'll do model sweat duty, really.

Are you a fashion student?

Good. We have our spring line runway show for clients happening this week.

Drop -offs, details, emergencies. You drive?

Yes. Andrea, I will not let you down, so write this down.

Day three, model casting.

Manny and Damien, a match made in lateness.

Something I should know about?

Not yet, Mr. Simpson.

Okay. Well, while Liberty is away at leadership camp, Acting Vice President

Tobey has an announcement.

In response to concerns raised by the merger, we're going to be holding a

referendum. On Thursday, we're going to vote on whether Lakehurst clubs and

teams should integrate into Degrassi's or stay separate.

All right, cool your jets, guys. Come on. Let's get this class started, all

right? Hey, let's instill segregation.

Apartheid worked so well in South Africa. Why not here?

We should do something, Manny.

Hello, Earth to Manny.

Yeah, totally. Together, good.

Separate, bad.

Speaking of together or separate, what's going on with you and Damien?

Things kind of fizzled after the Likers feud.

Kind of things to you, actually, but am I bitter?

So, why do you think you'd be a good roommate?

Uh, Griffin.

Uh, well, I'm quiet, clean, and studious.

Hmm, that might not work.

We're kind of loud.

And sort of messy. Yeah, we do homework in front of the TV.

You're an engineering student, right?

Yeah, well, and I book bands for the club. And I spin, so loud's okay.

Well, Griffin, it was great meeting you. Okay, um, I'll let myself out.

You guys get right to talking about me.

Thank you. No more collars. Hey, I'm not so sure.

A hot roommate is a lot more pressure than a regular one.

I need freedom to wear flannel.

Griffin was incredibly cute and normal.

Two to one. Sorry, Ellie.

The guy here would be weird at the tie.

Um, hon, you know we love you, but you don't really get so much of a vote.

Threat. Threat.

You know?

Right. Of course.

Damien. The guy who led a tiny cheerleading protest wrecked a

semester. Yeah, well, a gym full of people shouting, go home, Lakers,

leave the memory easily. Well, now you have a reason to forget.

Also known as me, or was that not flirting that I saw in class today?

What are you suggesting, Ms. Santos?

That we give it another try?

That we live in the present?

I like presents.

Um, mouth of the grapevine?

Alex, please stop pouting. You know it's only... No.

No. No. Oh, come on. I am so stupid.

What's the matter?

My license expired, and I thought I could renew it online, but... Alex, half

this job is driving.

72 hour wait.

Oh, I have to be there in an hour.

You have a car. I have a license.

You would do that?

Well, it might eat into my couch time, but it'd be fun to hang out for a

Thank you, thank you, thank you. The entire fashion industry owes you huge.

Ready to hit the road?

Bonjour, couture.

And Alex, its newest fan?

Uh, not quite.

Had a little license issue, but this adorable superhuman is chauffeuring, so

don't lose my job. The things I do to spend time with you.

I still don't get why we have to bring all this stuff here.

Um, hon, we can't leave them at the venue alone. They are priceless.

Marco, flown from Milan today.

No. Oh, not to spa.

I saw a pair of $1 ,200 shorts tonight.

Who buys $1 ,200 shorts?

I wish I could. Being near them on the runway, I'll have to do.

That's just sad.

So, uh, this show, it's for the world's five other shorts -loving freaks?

This show is like a huge deal.

It said in the paper today who's sitting front row.

Hon, I will be done at the office at four tomorrow, but if I'm not outside,

can just wait for me, okay?

Sure. Getting used to that.

This is unreal. I don't even know what to do. Try it on. That's a deal.

Are you kidding?

You're on the internet.

Again? I swear I've done nothing net worthy.

Degrassi Grapevine disagrees.

Good news travels fast, I guess.

Damien, look, we're the interracial poster children for Degrassi Lakers

Hmm.

What, too much press too soon?

No, it's just a little ironic. The whole separation thing was kind of my idea.

Hold on. Why would you do that?

Because I believe in it.

Lakers needs its own identity, especially now.

Damien, the rivalry is only going to get worse. What about... No problem. We can

be together even if our schools are apart.

Wouldn't it be better if we were double together?

Manny, you just don't understand politics.

The only thing I don't understand is why I thought this could ever work.

Condescending ass.

Hold on, that came out wrong.

Say you're at the corner. I've been waiting here for 40 minutes.

I will be soon, Paigeie.

I just had to, um... Just read the style section, okay? I'll get there as soon

as I can.

How about don't bother? I can take care of myself, okay?

Taxi!

I have to go get her.

First Mel leaves me, now you?

My heart is cracked open and leaking love juice all over the place.

Well, your heart will heal.

I can't drive.

I'm too stoned.

No, what am I going to tell Paige?

That I'm a mess. That you're being a good friend.

She'll get it.

No, she'll have a fit, actually.

These are the only things she cares about.

Whoa, Mel would look so hot in that.

God, I miss her.

And that's why I keep you around.

For your brilliant ideas.

Alice?

Alice!

Can you at least do me the courtesy of being here when I yell at you?

You ditched me.

I know. I'm sorry.

But Mel dumped Jay and he really needed... Let me guess, a shoulder to

on?

I'm sorry.

I was a jerk.

But...

Can I make it up to you?

Oh, my God.

Take off the dress now.

But I was trying to surprise you. Well, congratulations.

Take off the dress and then get out of my room.

Coffee?

I found more.

Paige, I'm sorry.

I thought my Wonder Girl Paige could manage on her own.

On my own?

I'm fine. Someone else caused the problem.

I made a mistake.

I didn't understand how seriously you were taking this whole gig.

How could you not? This is the first thing I've been excited about since I

bombed out of Banting.

I'm not like you, with plans and stuff.

I always feel like I'm behind.

Maybe that's why I need you. Well, what about when I need you? I'll be there.

How can I prove it?

Chocolate reminders for tonight's show.

They have to be wrapped and couriered to all the VIPs by noon.

Should have been done last night, but I was busy.

I'll get it done, Paige.

I know you will.

Because screwing up is not an option.

Manny!

Manny! Manny, stop!

Sorry, not only do I not understand politics, I have trouble with simple

commands. I'm sorry about yesterday.

Listen, I didn't mean to imply you were anything less than brilliant.

But we're both smart enough to realize the truth, right?

About us.

Uh -oh.

Damien, it's not going to work.

I think the personal is political, and if I can't support your campaign, then I

can't support you. I respect that, but it doesn't sound good for the faces of

Degrassi -Lakers unity.

Well, at least we can agree on that.

I think we just set the record for the world's shortest relationship.

I guess it wasn't meant to be.

We're just too different.

It's because I'm black, isn't it?

Well, now that you mention it...

So what, you just wanted a cred?

Why do you people always play the race card? That's highly offensive.

What's Miss Haggerty going to wear?

Courier of the Purple Jersey.

And the models?

Are in makeup as we speak.

And what about the new music mix?

Oh, tracks one to six have it on a loop.

Now.

Why haven't any of my VIPs called to gush over their edible gold reminders?

They haven't, but I had them sent out.

You had them sent?

Andrea, I swear they were at the courier by noon.

It's your first week, and you're subcontracting already.

Paige, focus. We're in the weeds here.

Now, if you can't handle this... No, I can. I can. I'm sure it was nothing more

than a little snag.

I can fix it, trust me. Yeah, you certainly will. It won't be a problem at

showtime, right? Of course not. Everything is under control.

Are you looking for something?

I just can't seem to find the contact sheet.

Thank you. Just do your job.

And don't wear that.

So, Manny, Shantae and I were just trying to figure out who's hotter, Brad

Kanye.

You're serious?

Ryan Gosling, hands down.

Figures.

What's that supposed to mean?

As long as he's not black, right?

Excuse me?

Rumor has it you're a racist.

Rumor has it you have webbed toes.

Sorry, Manny, but most of us understand that racism is a very serious issue.

Guys, I can't believe this.

So the rumor's true, then?

No, where are you getting this crap from?

People, who overheard you talking to Damien today?

Dude, we were joking.

This is insane. Come on, I'll prove it.

So you heard.

Racist. Awesome, huh?

What do you mean?

Some people didn't think our joke was very funny, but it seems to be working

well for you, though. Lots of support, huh?

You think people are supporting me because of that?

Well, I don't think it's hurting, so you need to do something for me.

Hey, listen up.

Unscheduled announcement from Damien Hayes.

I heard some vicious rumors.

I want you all to know that Manny Santos is not a racist.

Then why did she dump you?

Trust me, the reasons are far more than skin deep.

Unlike Damien, I happen to be a firm believer in unity.

He wants to keep the schools divided, but what Damien doesn't get about

is that when there's solidarity, there's strength.

I hope you all remember this as you make your way to the polls.

Yeah.

Travel. Unstool.

Unlove.

Paige here.

Miss Leboy.

You will.

Great. We'll see you soon.

Paige. How are my... This chair is crooked.

How are my VIPs? Last one just confirmed. All seats filled with

seats. Impressive. But we're still really behind. Now I need you to...

Paige. I, um... Okay.

I couldn't get the stuff to everyone.

Paige.

We can't have this.

Her.

Alex, what is wrong with you?

You didn't deliver the reminders, did you?

No, because I saw the invoice.

$3 ,000 for chocolate?

That's three months' rent to where I come from. And if I hadn't spent the

hour frantically calling people about the show, I'd have lost my job.

This isn't happiness, Paige. This is a lame temp gig that has you acting like a

diva. Who asked you to judge what is okay for this company or me? I am trying

start a career I actually care about.

You actually care about this artificial crap?

Paige, you wrap presents in iron dresses like a maid.

Sorry if I have principles.

You know what?

You were better off as a stripper. It is all great to climb up on your high

horse, but at least that girl was working for something.

went to the polls to decide whether the degrassi and lake hearth teams and clubs

should be separate or together and the results are in with a resounding vote in

favor of unifying the clubs thing of beauty democracy

and speaking of democratic freedom feel free to take your seats

If it's any consolation, you aren't totally wrong.

Some things are better apart, I guess.

Hard feelings?

Are you kidding? You totally blindsided me in front of the whole school.

That's not my fault. You smart boys are so easily manipulated.

Oh, is that what you think?

Everyone manages sexes.

Joking. Very funny.

So you're sure you don't want to go out on one more date?

Positive.

How about that make you single?

Sure.

Then I had to return everything after the show.

So I blew every cent I made on taxis.

Yeah, but you still have your job though, right?

Andrea gave me a gift bag, so unless that's code for move on, sister.

Code for hottest shades ever.

I think everything's in there.

Where are you going to go?

My mom has a cousin in Ajax.

I'll find a job.

I got options.

What?

I'm sorry.

I thought it would be good for you here.

alone.

I lost it to a fantasy world.

This is the right thing to do.

But it still hurts.

You make it sound like cough syrup.
