Degrassi Junior High: Star-Crossed/Lil Siouxsie

Erica's got the hots for Clutch, and decides to make a move...sort of. She enlists the help of her sister Heather to get the astrological scoop on Clutch. Too bad Heather's too shy to ask someone their sign, so she asks celestial goth star, Faith, a student that may have appeared at Degrassi just once, since she's tight with Clutch. He's a Virgo, by the way.




Word gets to Clutch that a "niner" was asking about him, so he asks Heather for a date to Degrassi's charity bowl-a-thon. Uh oh! Erica gets upset that her sister was approached by her crush, but they quickly resolve the problem by deciding to pull the ole twin switcheroo on him. See, Erica has a dentist's appointment, and wasn't the one asked out, so it's the perfect plan. Poor Clutch, right? Wrong! Clutch is only interested in the twins' friend Lucy, who's also the former squeeze of his hands-y friend Paul. Everyone's so shy and sneaky here...



 

All plans seem to be going well, until, the twins, and their pal, LD, notice that Clutch and Lucy are stargazing at each other. Funny thing is, no one seems upset that Lucy is going for a guy her friend likes. Oh well...although, it's possible I missed an episode where she's given side-eye and huffed at.

Moral of the story: Don't ask a girl to ask another girl what a guy's sign is while missing the signs that he's into your friend, and...

Believe in this look:
