FAVORITE DEGRASSI SHIPS (as voted by our followers) (07). PAIGE MICHALCHUK AND ALEX NUNEZ I said you were nothing to me, which is a total lie, because right now youโre pretty much everything.
sorry i havenโt been around much lately <3 getting the hang of my new job has taken a lot out of me & degrassi not being on youtube is a tragedy slkdjf iโm not abandoning paige, i still rly wanna write her, but this blog will prob just be low activity for the next month or so.ย
โ are you okay ? โ / @fionacelestinesโ
โ โ SERIOUSLY ? โ PAIGE DEADPANS, an exasperated sigh escaping her lips. frustration is apparent, although itโs not directly aimed at the brunette in front of her.ย โ can a girl not just have a breakdown in peace without someone asking her if everything isย โokayโ ? โ she draws air quotes around the word. she kind of knows deep down that the outburst is unwarranted for someone with kind intentions, but paigeโs pride does not allow apologies to come easily from her, instead doubling down.
โ yeah, yeah, iโm okayโฆ are you okay ? โ โย alex / @snakesimpโ
โ PAIGE NODS, FEELING SO MUCH RELIEF AT ALEXโS ANSWER that she canโt help but fling her arms around her, holding her tight. maybe a little too tight, but sheโs desperate for comfort, face buried briefly in the curve of alexโs neck, which reminds her of all the things in the world that make her feel safe and, yes, totally okay. โ yeah, iโm okay, โ paige says in a quiet voice, creating the smallest measure of distance so that she can lift her head to peer back at alexโs face, examining her dark eyes, searching for familiar warmth. maybe this is just another day for alex, but for paige, home is safe. people donโt throw bottles around or start screaming at the top of their lungs, threatening to hurt each other. those things donโt happen in her world. so, yes, it scared her.ย
but sheโs okay.ย
still, paige doesnโt make any effort to move away, sure, maybe itโs half selfish, needing alexโs closeness ( god knows paige michalchuk is needy ) , but she also wants alex to know that sheโs here, too, no matter how crazy it gets.ย โ youโre not hurt or anything ? โ she asks, knowing alex would have answered her question quickly just to check on her. blue eyes scan a little more closely now that her heart rate is starting to slow a bit. she doesnโt want to seem completely freaked out, doesnโt want alex to think she canโt handle her life or anything, but at the end of the day, this shouldnโt be her life.ย
โ stay at my place. โ as if thatโs not a given.ย
rockthistownโ.
jt.
lips curve into a crooked half-smile. no matter how many times he hopelessly pines over paige michalchuk and the amount of times heโs rejected in return, there was always going to be a part of him that couldnโt help but admire her. paige was truly unhateableโto him, at least. the same couldnโt be said to other geeks, nerds, and fashion disgraces at degrassi.
โgood to know.โ jt responds with a small nod. because of course he had thought paige hated him. the lack of run-ins in the halls as of late felt like a coincidence at first, but the more time passed and the more he saw glimpses of her at the end of the hall, the more it felt calculated.ย โi mean, yeah, i did think that. but you know, i sorta got why.โ he adds with a slight shrug. jt is no stranger to the rejection and avoid combo. it stung a lot more with paige with their prior friendship in the mix, but jt had hard time blaming her for it. โoh, come on. you could have gone back to sticking your tongue out at me in the halls and ridiculing all my hilariously funny jokes and i wouldnโt have batted an eye.โ because anything was better than the silent treatment from a supposed friend.
jtโs silent for a moment as he watches paigeโs assured exterior crumble. for the few years he had known her, there was only one other time he had seen paige like this. he swallows hard.ย โyeah, he is. but if rick had any remorse and guilt about what he did, he shouldnโt have shown his face back here anyway.โ jt says.ย โiโm sorry, by the way. i canโt even imagine how youโre feeling. i mean, i know if i was in your place iโd do anything to get rick expelled or, like, worse.โ
โ PAIGE DOESNโT BLAME HIM FOR THINKING THAT, obviously, it wasnโt like she had spent any time trying to reassure him โ sheโd mostly just done the avoiding thing. and sure, it was mostly self-preservation, but sheโd been totally aware that it could hurt him. sheโd seen his face when sheโd so dismissively suggested he talk to another girl. maybe itโs selfish, but sheโs secretly glad he didnโt look happy about it.ย โ well, i appreciate you getting it, but the fact that you DO get it actually makes it even harder, just so you know, โ she informs him, because the fact that heโs so understanding with her now actually makes him entirely more attractive, and she canโt help but compare everyone thatโs made her feel less than to how worth itย jt makes her feel.ย โ but i have ALWAYS been honest about your jokes, hun. if i ridicule, itโs for a good reason. โ though perhaps she is more known to laugh when it is just the two of them.ย
but all that aside, jtโs right. she hasnโt been a good friend to him, and yet, heโs still showing up for her now.ย โ but okay, okay, from now i on, i promise to continue to ridicule you when youโre unfunny, โ she says with an playful nod of her head โ and then she sticks her tongue out at him, expression bordering on completely goofy. because itโs just the two of them.
โ youโre right. heโs not even sorry, and itโs just going to get worse but it wonโt even matter because heโll play the little pity card to raditch like heโs some kind of outcast. which is totally untrue, we ALL gave him a chance ! โ sheโs just ranting because jt will listen.ย โ yeah, i feel like i canโt just do nothing. weโre going to do this like, petition thing, but i . . . just feel so tired of it. which sounds horrible to say, i know, but itโs exhausting. โ she rests her head on her palms, looks over at him, enraged expression softening into something more gentle.ย โ tell me something good ? โย

i rewatched the etern.als. and then i got thinkin. and now you guys are on the receiving end of more protective prompts, but these little beauties are aimed more for the act of actually saving a life! bon appetit!
DIALOGUE PROMPTS.
โ what the hell were you thinking?! you couldโve been killed!ย โ
โ hey! get away from them!ย โ
โ if you wanna hurt them, youโre going to have to get through me, first.ย โ
โ you underestimate how much you mean to me. i wasnโt about to let them hurt you. and i certainly wasnโt about to let them even consider killing you.ย โ
โ i told you before. iโm not gonna let anything in this world nor the next harm you.ย โ
โ you need to get out of here! go! iโll buy you some more time!ย โ
โ what are you doing?! i told you, get out of here! now!ย โ
โ get it through your head, iโm not gonna just leave you here!ย โ
โ nowโs not the time to play the martyr, got it? youโve got a good long life ahead of you, and i intend to keep it that way.ย โ
โ you need to go now, okay? donโt worry. iโve got this. theyโll want to be trying a lot harder if they want to keep me from protecting you.ย โ
โ donโt worry about me; are YOU okay?ย โ
โ damnit, [NAME]! i TOLD you not to play the hero!ย โ
โ i can look after myself, you know. butโฆ i do appreciate you stepping in back there. you saved my life.ย โ
โ why are you so invested in keeping me alive?ย โ
โ that was for saving my life.ย โ
โ itโs alright, theyโre gone nowโฆ are you alright? hey, look at me; are you hurt at all?ย โ
โ are you insane?! run!ย โ
โ were you preoccupied, or did you just really want a dramatic heroic entrance before you saved my ass?ย โ

ellie.
ellie purses her lips, suddenly feeling very small and very vulnerable. two emotions she rarely liked to feel, let alone in front of paige.ย โyup,โ she says with a shrug. ellie clears her throat.ย โyou know, if this is your way getting me to stop thinking about jesse, youโre failing miserably.โ it was one thing to mope around alone about jesse and it was another, more humiliating thing to mope around about jesse with paige.ย โi figured. actually, iโd be a lot more concerned if marco didnโt put you up to this.โ and if this hangout goes to shit, at least sheโll have someone to blame for it.ย โiโm ordering the most expensive thing on the menu, by the way.โ
โย โ OOPS, โ PAIGE WINCES WITH A GUILTY EXPRESSION, smile sheepish.ย โ okay, but in total seriousness ? look at yourself. youโre still young, hot, smart . . . youโre going to be FINE, hun. heโs the loser for missing out on all of that and he definitely doesnโt deserve all the moping about youโve been doing. cโmon. โ paigeโs hand is outstretched as she beckons ellie forth out of her room and into the hall โ easy enough, but sheโs also got to get her out of the door, according to the terms of the bet. that said, it does seem slightly less important now โ as much as paige loves winning, the look on ellieโs face had made her feel as if there was a larger calling.ย โ um, hey ! i know i look expensive, but i am NOT made of money.ย โย
MADISON ISEMAN Feast of the Seven Fishes (2019)

deep hum is supposed to be doubtful, but ends up reading more acquiescent. alex does roll her eyes, but itโs inherently amiable and, even if the fondness wasnโt radiating right off her, she knows paige could probably read her emotions like a big, blinking neon sign.ย โyou have a silver tongue, you know that?โ she chuckles dryly.ย โnow if we could only redirect it away from me and toward something useful.โ
the comfort of the words, despite their vagueness and uncertainty, is immeasurably comforting to alex, in a way she didnโt realize it would be. itโs nothing definitive of course, which is fine by her considering how mixed up her own thoughts are, but it feels like some semblance of an assurance, or a clarification. alex isnโt just making this up in her head, and paige does have the inclination to admit it out loud.ย โyou wouldnโt, you know. lose me.โ she nods her chin toward paige.ย โif anyoneโs gonna run, my moneyโs on the blonde princess.โ brows tick up deadpanned and she means for it to be humor, but itโs a peek at her own true fears. eventually a coy smirk flirts at the corners of her mouth.ย โlook, iโm not exactly clued in to whatโs going on with me either,โ she offers, shrugs.ย โbutโฆ i dunno, iโm not scared. i like you, paige.โ
โ PAIGEโS EXPRESSION IS PROUD, but sheโs practically glowing. thereโs something about alexโs praise thatโs different from anyone elseโs, even when itโs said with a measure of dry humor and veiled in sarcasm. alex just has this way about her that makes paige feel genuinely special without trying, without having to convince her, alex just sees it. and thatโs probably because paige knows that sheโd never let her walls down for just ANYONE.ย
โย iโm not running, okay ? โ she says, seeing right through alexโs joke. her hand reaches up, fingertips gently brushing affectionately until sheโs cupping alexโs cheek.ย โ i always want to be there for you, whether itโs good or bad, or . . . as your friend or . . . more. โ thereโs the urge to duck her head as cheeks tint pink, but sheโs determined to hold on to alexโs gaze. and, as usual, thereโs that little smirk that makes paigeโs knees feel totally weak. still, itโs loud and clear : i like you.ย โ well, duh. youโre not exactly subtle, sweetie, โ still, sheโs beaming now, because sass aside, it feels really nice to hear it out loud.ย
all of paigeโs confusion, though, has nothing to do with alex. โ me too, i mean โ i still havenโt figured out where i stand on the whole . . . liking girls thing, โ she says earnestly,ย โ but i am sure that i like you. and honestly, thatโs kind of all that i care about right now.ย โ
snakesimpโ.
โuh huh,โ he nods sarcastically, hardly suppressing a snorting laugh.ย โjust keep going down the list of synonyms for casual.โ which is to say, tragically no matter how many veils ofย โeasy-goingโ,ย โtemporaryโ,ย โmeaninglessโ they toss over the situation, the fact remains โ jay and paige are actually spending time together, willfully. the ridiculousness of the situation is what holds jayโs attention, why he finds it so hard not to point out, but he can shrug it off eventually and agree, no need to go there yet.
paigeโs excitement is met with a curl of his lip and he leans away from her and toward the window.ย โit doesnโt bode well for me that youโre so,โ he reaches out a hand, gesturing up and down her,ย โgiddy. that doesnโt vibe with my karmic synergy, you feel me?โ in other words, god, he really doesnโt wanna cave to what paige wants. but, alas, jay is no match for what sounds suspiciously like a triple dog dare.ย โfine, fine, fine,โ he relents, accommodating her with a show of his palm.ย โsince you were ill-advised enough to actually come to my kinda party tonight,โ he considers, tilting his head in acknowledgement,ย โi guess i can meet you half way on your stupid karaoke thing.โ
a pause and his lower lip rolls inward, brow furrowing thoughtfully as he sizes her up.ย โtomorrow, i guess? i dunno, how often do non-friends hang out?โ thereโs mocking humor in his gaze.ย โthree times in one week too much?โ
โ โ YOUโRE JOKING, BUT I COULD DO IT, โ SHE ADDS, obstinately.ย โ unceremonious, uninhibited, trivial . . . โ alex had referred to her as a thesaurus for this very reason โ that paige has a habit of repeating herself with the same words when arguing, like the more ways you can say your point will increase your chances of proving it.ย โ but aside from all of that, itโs just totally and completely absurd. i mean . . . the two of us ? โ she remarks with an incredulous exhale of breath.ย โย โ doesnโt make any sense. and yet, it wasnโt the worst night of my life. โย granted, her past self would probably slap her for having a good time, but she supposes this is just another reason she isnโt her past self any more.ย
eyes narrow,ย โ well, i have this weird feeling that you and karma arenโt exactly best buddies to begin with, so, let me have this. โ in other words, she does not feel him. still, itโs impossible to keep the smug little smirk off her lips when he relents, because, well, paige michalchuk LOVES getting what she wants.ย โ EXACTLY, itโs only fair. did you seeย the restroomย ? because iโm pretty sure it contained remnants of the bubonic plague โ germ scientists would be dying to get their hands on that place. i have freakingย SACRIFICED. โ paige leans the side of her head against the head rest,ย โย if youโre being annoying on purpose to get out of it, itโs not going to work, โ she points out with an arch of her brow.ย โ letโs just . . . stop bringing it up and go with it. โ just like her to be so demanding when she brought it up first.ย

i am super bad / shy about plotting things with no game plan but i swear i am going to try to put together a wishlist or something we can use as a jumping point to do some actual plotsย โก
continued from here.ย
โย โOF COURSE I VALUE OUR FRIENDSHIP,โ PAIGE SAYS DEFENSIVELY, arms folded over her chest. itโs not jealousy, itโs just common sense, like he should obviously want to spend time with her as opposed to . . . someone else. still, the irrational feeling stirs in the pit of her stomach anyway, despite vehement denial.ย โ i donโt get jealous, okay ? thatโs for insecure people. what reason would i have to be jealous ?ย โ j.t. better not make a snide comment in response to that if he wants to live to next year. pun not intended.ย
heโs got a point. she totally would have laughed โ but that doesnโt mean she wouldnโt have thought about it ! blonde hair is flipped over her shoulder as she considers his non-existent offer โ he hasnโt really asked her anywhere yet, but if thereโs anything paige knows, itโs how to get what she wants without even having to ask.ย โ ugh, fine, โ paige gripes, as if sheโs really put out and doing him some big favor by agreeing,ย โ iโll go to the movies with you. โย
snakesimpโ.
flitting fingers wave away paigeโs perfectly good point. whatever. not like making sense was every really part of their theme anyway. sharp brows lift, emboldened.ย โoh yeah? for a fact? now how could you possibly know that?โ might have something to do with the way that a grin leeks out from the edges of alexโs expression, how she pulls paigeโs hands to her ribs, keeping them close. head cants in agreement, hamming up some cuteness.ย โsee, now youโre talking facts.โ a beat of thought and her brow furrows in humor, scoffing.ย โexcept you talk me into stuff i donโt wanna do. like, all the time.โ whether she likes it or not, paige michalchuk has a power over her.
alex keens her chin down, suddenly at attention to paigeโs proximity. she blinks slow and hums soft.ย โiโll give you that,โ sheโll admit quietly.ย โyouโve been real shake up-y lately. makes me wonder where this big, bold paige came from. maybe iโm rubbing off on you, too.โ really, the lines between things like their personalities, friend groups, habits, hobbiesโฆ theyโre blurring. she can feel them becoming less black vs white and shifting into hues of matching greys.
eyes flicker between paigeโs angel light eyes and her lips, soaking in each word. wants to bottle up this whole moment.ย โi donโt care about the whole world,โ alex tells her, a knit clinching her brow because she feels so sincere in the sentiment. thumb shifts over paigeโs knuckles. โi just want you to tell me.โ
โ PAIGE SMILES KNOWINGLY.ย โ oh, i just have a feeling, โ she hums, teasing, watching the way alexโs expression changes. sheโs definitely trying to keep her cool when alex pulls her closer still. butterflies go crazy in the pit of her stomach just thinking about the mutual feeling, the close proximity of their bodies, and the memory of alexโs lips, which always seems to be floating around her mind whether at the forefront or just lingering. but always there.ย โ well, once i talk you into it, then you want to do it. itโs the same principle, just sometimes it takes you a minute to realize how right i am โ which is, yes, all the time. โ she beams, knowing alex will either refute this or roll her eyes, but whenever she flashes that smile itโs always with a slight hope that alex will just find her too adorable to argue with.ย
โ i donโt know. i feel different, โ paige admits.ย โ not in a bad way, but . . . i donโt know. i canโt really explain it. โ rarely is she really lost for words, but it is hard to outline. cheeks heat under the intensity of alexโs gaze, feeling the mood shift into something a little more serious than their playful back and forth. itโs true that she hasnโt really worked everything out yet โ whether she likes girls still feels like a strange label when so far, she only likes alex. labels feel like such a big blanket for something sheโs still figuring out, and paige is uncomfortable with the idea that people will talk, assume, or even remember her as some token something. maybe thatโs not very brave of her, but it all pales in comparison to other fears anyway.ย โ okay, well, โ she can feel even her ears burning, but her gaze seeks out alexโs warm brown hues, finding comfort in their sincerity.ย โ i AM telling you. or iโm trying to, iโm scared โ but iโm not half as scared of anything else as i am of losing you. โย
