She could slowly hear her heart breaking as she walked away. Away from
him.. Her one true love. Her heart was in pieces by the time she turned the
corner. Manny's eyes were filled with tears; her heart was covered in
pain.
Walking home in the cold snow listening to herself breathe. Manny thought of him. Him being Craig. Craig being her one true love, also her one true heart break.
Manuela Santos, described as cute, hot, any guy was lucky to have her. But there was only one guy she wanted. Craig Manning. But now he had broken her heart again. He had actually broken two girls hearts, Manny and Ashley's, but which girl did he love more?
~*~*~*~*
Manny walked through the doors of Degrassi Community School. Immediately eyes turned to her. Then she heard her name:
"Manny!"
It was Craig; she continued to walk on trying to ignore her one true love.
"Manny! Stop. Wait!" Craig called again.
Manny tried to get away from him. Knowing that if they talked she would give in. Just like she had before. Craig would put on that puppy dog pout, and his brown eyes would peer out from under his dark curly hair and hat. The she would break and agree with anything he said. But not this time, well at least not today.
Manny walked until she reached her locker. Emma was of course next to her.
'Great more environment crap." Manny thought seeing the note tapped to her locker.
She looked over to see Ashley Kerwin. Her competition, and companion in heart break with Craig. To Manny's surprise Ashley was with another guy. First Manny thought he was a friend, but after watching the kiss they shared. She realized Ashley had moved on. As they got closer she could tell it was all an act. Ashley wasn't over Craig, but it was easier to be with some one and pretend, than show your real feelings. Manny watched them share one more kiss before getting her books. Inside her locker was a note; Manny bent down to pick it up. Three guys gathered around to watch.
~Manny~ Meet me in my garage after school! I just want to talk.
C.
Ashley approached her. "Did you get one of these?" Ashley asked waving her own not in the air, "Are you going?"
"Don't know, are you?"
"I don't want to even look at Craig Manning ever again, let alone talk to him."
"I think we should go, we need to talk about it. It will help us move on." Manny said.
"I guess then maybe he will stop leaving notes in my locker. I had five of them this morning, and Tristan doesn't like it." Ashley replied turning around to leave.
"Ashley I'm sorry!" Manny called.
"Don't worry I'm over it." Ashley replied.
~*~*~*~*~*
Manny saw Craig coming; she left her locker trying to get away. She dove into the girl's washroom one place she could escape.
"If it isn't the heart breaker now." Paige Michalchuck said when she entered.
"If any one is a heart breaker it's Craig not me." Manny replied.
"I don't care whose heart is broken. All I know is Ashley was miserable over break."
"She seems fine now."
"Oh she is, ever since match maker Paige found her way in. Her and Tristan are perfect for each other."
"Is she really over Craig?"
"Guess so." Paige said leaving.
"Now I just have to get over him." Manny thought.
~*~*~*~*~*
Manny heard the bell ring. She quickly headed to class. Manny had transferred classes before the break so she wasn't with Emma. Totally forgetting she was now with Craig. Manny took her seat in Media Immersions.
"Okay new at home group project due in two weeks. And yes I will pick the groups." Mr. Simpson informed them. Every one sighed.
" I know.. Disappointing. But let's get on with them. First group: Manny Santos, Craig Manning, Ashley Kerwin, and Tristan Brown."
Manny was in shock! How could Mr. Simpson do this? Mr. Simpson continued on, and then explained the project.
"Remember two weeks make me proud." He said as the bell rang and every one left. Manny stayed.
"Yes Manny?" Mr. Simpson asked.
"I can't work in that group."
"Look I know a lot happened before break with the three of you. But you need to work out your differences."
"But Mr. Simpson!"
"Nothing is getting you out of it now go on, go to lunch."
Manny tuned and left the class room, to her surprise Craig was waiting out side the class room for her.. Not!
"Craig what do you want?" Manny asked.
"Manny I miss you and just want to talk. Please can we do that?" Craig asked.
"I might be at your house after school. But it's a big might, because Craig you broke my heart and I really don't feel like letting that happen again."
"But Manny we are in the same group we have to talk sometime."
"Yes but about group project things, not about you, me, or Ashley. Ashley seems to be the only person who has bounced back from this, how do you feel about Tristan?" Manny asked.
"I don't like him." Craig replied. "But not because of that, I just don't like him." Craig said reading Manny's expression.
"Well maybe I'll see you after school." Manny said.
Then that smile came out.
'Great' Manny thought as she watched him walk away, 'I am giving in already, and it's not even past lunch yet.'
Manny walked into the lunchroom, not knowing who to sit with. She couldn't sit with Emma after what had happened between them. Craig and her were over, even though now she could actually sit with him without Ashley. Then Manny saw J.T waving her over to the table he was at.
"Hi J.T." Manny said walking over and sitting down her tray.
"Hey Manny, welcome to my world." J.T said.
"What this table?"
"No this period.. Lunch."
"Oh I get it."
"So are you doing anything this Friday?" J.T asked.
"Um no, I'm totally free." Manny replied.
"Now why didn't your secretary tell me about Friday when I called. I made an appointment for April."
"Guess my schedule just opened up."
"So do you want to go see a movie?"
"Does it include pop corn?" Manny asked.
"What is a movie with out popcorn."
"Sure I'd love too."
"Okay I'll pick you up at your house at seven." J.T said.
"Great." Manny replied looking out of the corner of her eye, Craig was watching her.
"Can you excuse me for a minute?" Manny asked.
"Sure."
"Okay I'll be right back." Manny said getting up and walking over to Craig.
"Craig stop staring at me!" Manny yelled.
"I'm sorry I just miss you so much."
"Well stare at Ashley, miss her more."
"I would but that Tristan guy is going to kill me if I look at her any more. With you, it's just J.T what is he going to do?" Craig asked.
"Just stop staring at me, okay I said I might come later and we will talk. But not right now, and this can not happen again."
"What can not happen again?"
"You doing this until I give in, I should have just talked to Ashley. But now you are not getting me to give in and get back with you." Manny said walking away.
