Season Five

Episode 20

"It's Time to Dance"

Scene 1: Degrassi (Hallway). Morning

Amina and Nolan are speaking at the lockers when Harriet passes by, smiling in Amina's direction. Nolan catches the two stealing looks.

Nolan: Are you going to ask her to the formal?

Amina opens her locker, trying to avoid answering the question. But, she looks over her shoulder to see that Nolan wasn't going to back down.

Amina: Things have been weird between us. Besides the occasional smile in the hallway, she's been avoiding me. She hasn't even been to the past few student council meetings.

Nolan: The year is almost over. You two have been dancing around the fact that there is a mutual attraction. If you don't act now, then you might regret it.

Amina: Do you regret your relationship with Jordan? I mean, there was an obvious attraction, but there was also an obvious road blocked named Jack.

Nolan: No, I don't regret it. Of course, I wished things were different. I mean, I transferred into Degrassi to be with him, but the time we spent together was great. You need to stop thinking of the what-ifs.

The bell begins to ring. Nolan smiles as he proceeds to walk off, leaving Amina with his advice. Amina takes a deep breath as she closes her locker.

Amina: Hey! Wait for me.

Amina locks arms with Nolan. The two of them head down the hall to class.

OPENING CREDITS


Scene 2: Degrassi (Classroom). Morning

The bell continues ringing as students begin to enter the classroom. Carina and Marcel take seats next to each other. Isaiah walks into the class to see an open desk next to Carina. He begins to walk over when he notices her gesturing to someone.

Carina: Over here! I saved you a seat.

Isaiah turns around to see Kenzie entering the class and taking the seat. Isaiah takes note of this as he takes a seat a few rows away from the others.

Scene 3: Degrassi (Hallway). Morning

Students exit out of the classroom. Isaiah appears behind Carina, surprising her.

Isaiah: Hey. How's my favorite lady today?

Kenzie and Marcel take this as their queue to leave. Isaiah reaches for Carina's hand, but she pulls away.

Carina: I'm so excited for the formal Friday.

Isaiah stops walking. He was starting to doubt himself and his relationship. Carina looks next to her to see Isaiah is no longer at her side. She turns around and approaches him.

Isaiah: Are we okay, Carina?

Carina has a confused look on her face.

Carina: Why wouldn't we be okay, Isaiah.

Isaiah: I was thinking instead of going as a group to the Spring Formal, we can go as a couple?

Carina hesitated.

Carina: Of course. We can just meet Marcel, Kenzie, and Isabella there. I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

Isaiah nods his head without revealing his feelings. They continue to make their way down the hall.


Scene 4: Degrassi (Student Council Office). Morning

Alicia hands off a box to Amina.

Alicia: These are the tickets. They should be handed out during lunch periods.

You can tell by Amina's face she was becoming overwhelmed.

Amina: This isn't the job of the vice.

Alicia: You find our social coordinator and tell her.

Harriet appears at the door.

Alicia: The she goes. I need to find my boyfriend to prepare for the big night.

Alicia smiles as she takes two tickets from the box. Alicia waves at Harriet as she exits the office.

Amina: Hey. I haven't seen you around for a while. It's like you disappeared.

Harriet: I'm sorry. My parents practically have me locked in the basement with nothing but crackers and water.

Amina: That sounds like it sucks.

Harriet moves closer to Amina. She leans in for a kiss, but they are interrupted by a student entering the room.

Harriet: I'll see you at the dance?

The student leaves out the room. Amina takes hold of Harriet's hand.

Amina: Maybe we should go together. No more hiding. No more sneaking around.

Harriet takes a deep breath as she looks around to make sure they were alone. Harriet kisses Amina.

Harriet: My mom is chaperoning. If we go to the formal together, then there would be no turning back.

Amina: What's wrong with that? There is something between us, right, or have I been making things up in my head?

Harriet: I don't think I'm ready.

Harriet lets go of Amina's hand as she slowly backs away. She gives her one last look before leaving the room.


Scene 5: Outside Degrassi (Picnic Tables). Afternoon

Carina, Isabella, Marcel, and Kenzie are eating lunch outside. Isabella notices Carina stealing looks at K.C, who is playing basketball in the parking lot.

Isabella (whispering): How're things with you and Isaiah?

Carina (whispering): I don't know. We've been off.

Isabella (whispering): Is it because of K.C?

They both look over at Kenzie to make sure she doesn't hear.

Carina (whispering): I just don't think it would work. We're too different. Plus, Kenzie is my best friend.

Kenzie jumps from her seat.

Kenzie: I think I should ask K.C to the formal. It's only right that I take this opportunity to get my man.

Marcel: GET YOUR MAN!

Kenzie shakes off her nerves and proceeds to go over to the boys playing ball. Carina, Isabella, and Marcel observe in the distance. K.C looks over to the table. Kenzie returns to the table with a frown.

Marcel: What's happened?

Kenzie (in excitement): I have a date!

Marcel and Kenzie shrieks in excitement. Carina tries to force a smile.


Scene 6: The Dot. Afternoon

Jack and Decker enter the Dot, where they spot Jordan cleaning off tables. They continue their way inside and take a seat.

Jack: I thought maybe I could pick you up from your house.

Decker has a worried look on his face.

Decker: Can I meet you at yours?

Jack (displeased): I guess that's fine.

Decker: Don't worry. I just need to finalize a few things to make the night perfect.

Jack smiles.

Jack: Tell me more about this perfect night.

Decker leans across the table and kisses Jack.

Decker: You'll have to wait and see, but I have to get home. I'll call you later.

As Decker exits, Alicia enters with a smile. She takes a seat with Jack. Jordan also takes a seat with them.

Alicia: Red got us a room tonight.

Jordan: I thought you and Red were already having –

Alicia: No. I mean, we've fooled around, but never all the way. I've been nervous about doing more since I'm a virgin, and he's not. Did you two…every you know?

Jack and Jordan look at each other.

Jack and Jordan: No.

Jordan: Harvey was my first.

Jack (under his breath): I'm still a virgin.

Jordan has a surprised look on his face.

Jack: Attempted, but it's never been the right time. I think Decker is planning something big tonight.

Jordan: You two both have guys that love you. I'm sure whatever happens tonight, you'll know what to do.

Jack: Getting sex advice from my exes.

The three of them start to burst into laughter.


Scene 7: Hotel (Banquet Hall). Evening

Teens are hurrying into the banquet hall as music blares. The room is ornamented with gold, silver, and black decorations. Alicia, Red, Jack, and Decker enter the venue with all smiles.

Red: Everything looks great, babe.

Alicia: The Dot is provided drinks, so we can thank Mr. Mason.

Decker: I'm going for a drink. Does anybody want anything?

Jack: I'll go with you.

Decker kisses Jack before they depart, walking towards the beverage table. We also see Madison entering arms interlocked with Lily dragging Matthew along, much to his dismay. Finally, Carina enters the venue to see Isaiah waiting with a bouquet of roses. She kisses him on the cheek.

Carina: These are beautiful, Isaiah.

Isaiah: Not as beautiful as you.

Carina: Look, there's Marcel and Kenzie. We should say hi.

Carina dashes for her friends, with Isaiah following behind. Carina and Kenzie begin to dance with each other. Manny watches everything from a distance when Isabella appears beside him.

Isabella: I didn't take you for the formal type of guy. You clean up pretty nice.

Manny smiles as he turns to Isabella. He was taken by her beauty, which caused him to be speechless.

Isabella: Save me a dance?

Manny: I wasn't planning on staying long. Raincheck?

Isabella nods as she makes her way towards her friends. Carina notices K.C making his way towards the group.

K.C: Hey Luciani. Nice to see you wearing something outside of overalls and combat boots.

Carina: It's nice to see you too, Kaylen.

Carina quickly pulls Isabella and Kenzie away.

Kenzie: Bathroom!

The three girls run towards the exit.


Scene 8: Hotel (Hallway). Evening

Amina and Nolan are collecting tickets upon entry. Harriet makes her entrance alongside her mother. She hands her ticket to Amina, which leads her to smile.

Mrs. Morton: Let's go, Harriet!

The two proceed to walk off. Amina looks over her shoulder to see Harriet stealing a glance.

Nolan: I thought you two decided to come together.

Amina has a disappointed look on her face.


Scene 9: Hotel (Bathroom). Evening

Carina, Kenzie, and Isabella enter the bathroom. Kenzie goes into the mirror to touch up her make-up and lipstick.

Kenzie: I would do me tonight.

Carina paces back and forth.

Carina: Should I have sex with Isaiah?

Kenzie (in unison): Yes!

Isabella (in unison): No!

Kenzie rolls her eyes and goes back to face the mirror.

Isabella: I thought you two were on the verge of breaking up.

Kenzie: News to me.

Carina: People always say that sex brings couples together.

Isabella: Yes, but only if you want to be with the other person. Do you love Isaiah?

Kenzie: Of course, she does. They're totes perfect.

Isabella: Take it from me. Don't use sex to fix or hide from your relationship.

Isabella proceeds to exit the bathroom. Kenzie turns around to face Carina.

Kenzie: There is only one way to know for sure if you love Isaiah.

Kenzie smiles as she exits the bathroom.


Scene 10. Hotel (Banquet Hall). Evening

Levi steps onto the stage, greeted by the sounds of applause. She begins to strum her guitar softly then proceeds to sing a slow love ballad. The band accompanies her as she continues to sing. Then, couples start to pair off and slow dance.

We see all of our prominent couples—Alicia and Red, Jack and Decker, and Carina and Isaiah. Isabella glances over to see Manny making his way for the door. She musters up some courage to approach him.

Isabella: Not staying long, he says.

Manny: Maybe I'm not here. Maybe I'm just a ghost.

Isabella: Will you join me in this dance?

Manny looks around, trying to hide that he was flattered by the gesture.

Manny: Sure. Let's do this.

He extends his hand out and escorts Isabella to the dancefloor. Isabella wraps her arms around him as they begin to dance.

Lily: You're going to dance with me!

Lily drags Matthew onto the dancefloor. Matthew tries to fight, but he was not a match for Lily. Harriet approaches Amina. Amina smiles as she wraps her hands around Harriet's waist.

Harriet smiles as she closes the gap between the two.

Harriet: I'm sorry it took me so long to find the courage.

Amina: It's okay. You found it, and I couldn't be happier.

Harriet: No turning back right.

Mrs. Morton stands in the distance, mortified by the sight of her daughter. She rests her head on Amina's shoulder with a smile. Carina and Isaiah continue to dance. Carina sees K.C in the distance dancing with Kenzie. They were dancing with other people, but they secretly wanted to be with each other.

Isaiah looks into Carina's eyes. Carina was the girl of his dreams he was dancing with, but then Carina whispers something in his ear.


Scene 11. Hotel (Hallway). Evening

Alicia and Red quickly walk down the hall until they reach a room door. Red frantically goes into his pocket, trying to pull out the key. Alicia snatches it from him and unlocks the door. They race inside, unable to contain the excitement.

Next, Jack and Decker appear in the hallway. Jack stands in front of the room door with a smile as he kisses Decker. He opens the door as he grabs Decker's tie pulling him inside the room.

Isaiah and Carina follow them. They both walk down the hall to their room with smiles on their faces. However, Isaiah has a look of nervousness as he opens the door. Carina nods as she extends her hand and enters the room with him.

Amina and Harriet are holding hands as they run down the hall laughing with a stolen bottle of alcohol. Harriet's shoe falls off. Amina races to grab it. They reach their room door. They stare into each other's eyes. Harriet leans in for a kiss as they enter the room.

Lastly, we see Kenzie walking down the hall. She looks over her shoulder as K.C turns the corner. They reach their room door. Kenzie begins to unbutton her shirt, trying to entice K.C. Unfortunately, he wasn't entirely into it, which Kenzie could sense and felt embarrassed. She goes into the room, slamming the door in his face.


Scene 12. Hotel (Bedroom). Evening

Amina and Harriet lay in the bed with smiles on their faces.

Harriet (somberly): I can't believe I just slept with another girl. My parents would disown me if they found out.

Amina sits up on the bed. She faces Harriet.

Amina: Are you having second thoughts or regrets?

Harriet smiles as she kisses Amina.

Harriet: No regrets.

The two falls back onto the bed as they continued to kiss.


Scene 13. Hotel (Bedroom). Evening

Isaiah and Carina are seated at the edge of the bed, fully dressed. Isaiah had a look of disappointment as Carina tries to fight back the tears.

Carina (awkwardly): I'm sorry, Isaiah.

Isaiah: Can you be honest with me, Carina. I'm your boyfriend.

Carina: I know, but I just don't want to be pressured to do something that I don't want to do.

Isaiah rises from the bed feeling bothered.

Isaiah (raising his voice): Do you feel that I've been pressuring you, Care? Because I've been nothing but patient and understanding. This whole this was your idea.

Carina (voice breaking): I know!

Isaiah calms himself down, seeing how it was affecting Carina. He takes a seat and begins to console her, but Carina couldn't take it. She jumps out of his arms.

Isaiah (concerned): What is going on with us right now? I feel like you've been pushing me away for months.

Carina: I can't—I don't think I can do this anymore. I don't think I can do us anymore.

Isaiah was speechless; his heart broke at that moment.

Isaiah (broken): I'll see you after spring break, Carina.

He quietly leaves the room.


Scene 14. Hotel (Bedroom). Evening

Kenzie lays in bed wrapped in covers. She unburies her head to see K.C returning from the bathroom. He had the face of someone with regret.

Kenzie: I had fun tonight. You turned this night around for me.

K.C: I should get going.

K.C starts to pick up his clothes from the floor and get dress.

Kenzie: Do you have to go?

K.C: Yeah, I do.

K.C makes his exit. Kenzie begins kicking and hitting the bed in excitement. She grabs the pillow biting into it as she squeals in excitement.


Scene 15: Hotel (Parking Lot). Night

Marcel and Isabella are comforting Carina. Isaiah exits the hotel passing by them. Carina and Isaiah lock eyes, but you could see the hatred radiating off him. Kenzie leaves the hotel with a smile.

Kenzie: Hey. What's going here?

Marcel: Carina and Isaiah broke up.

Isabella: You'll be fine. Luckily, we're out for Spring Break.

Isabella wraps her arms around Carina.

Marcel: Kenzie, you look mighty chipper.

Kenzie puts on a big smile. K.C exits the hotel to see the group. Carina rises and starts to approach him, but Kenzie beats her to him. Kenzie plants a big kiss on K.C, which unbeknownst to her, crushes Carina.

Carina quickly runaway. Isabella approaches K.C and then slaps him.

Isabella: You're a real jerk!

Isabella chases behind Carina. Marcel and Kenzie are left confused.
