I'm just a Stranger to Myself
Emma is tired of being the perfect, girl next door that everyone can count on. She has realized Manny has been getting a lot of attention from guys ever since her change, so this story is about Emma changing from Sweet Good Girl to another version of Manny, but only worse. This is my first fanfic! PS: This is BEFORE Emma hooks up with Chris, but after her breakup with Sean, and before Manny and Emma decide not to be friends anymore.
Chapter 1: Emma Sees the Light
"Got nothing to say." Sean's words to Emma were like the biggest tragedy of her life. Emma felt sad, sadder than she ever felt. Sean had just broken her heart into a million pieces----again. Emma was just trying to apologize to Sean about their fight the day before. Just everything around Emma was starting to get so stressful---she had to watch Jack all the time, she couldn't have any fun with Manny or her friends, and 9th grade was so tough. Emma walked away, feeling the tears well up in her eyes. She then heard Alex reply, "She really is flat as a board huh?" and the gang laughing at her. Emma felt so mad, so upset, so....broken. She crumpled up the picture she was going to give Sean and threw it away, then ran for the bathroom to cry before class. She stayed in their, crying, and checked her watch. 12:35. Class had started 10 minutes ago, but Emma couldn't care less. Just then, the door flew open. It was Emma's best friend, Manny Santos.
Manny: Oh Emma, what's wrong? Ms. Kwan sent me in here to see if you were here, because she buzzed the office and they couldn't find you.
Emma: I don't care about that. Sean dissed me in front of his gang after I tried to apologize, and its all over. Sean did it again. He broke my heart. And I really am sick of this shit! I've given Sean so much....I've been a great girlfriend....and he still does this. I don't want to go back to class.
Manny: OK, lets ditch it and we'll go to your house to talk about it. My parents would freak if they saw me like this......I lost my big coat somewhere so I cant hide it. I'm just going to go get my bag and tell Ms. Kwan I couldn't find you then make a mad dash out the door, so stay here ok?
Emma smiled a little, imagining what Manny's parents would do if she walked in wearing what she was wearing: A tiny short little miniskirt, a belly shirt with a revealing chest line, a belly ring of a Playboy bunny, and knee high black boots, with her hair wild and curly.
Emma: Thanks Manny, your a good friend.
Manny: No problem, I'll be right back.
While Manny was gone, Emma peeked in the mirror to see how bad she looked. Her mascara was running and her eyes were red. She grabbed a tissue and wiped off the mascara just in time for Manny to come back.
Manny: Uh-oh, what should we tell your mom? She'll wonder why were home early.
Emma: No problem, she's at her new job. Baby Jack is at a daycare center.
Manny: Oh ok, that's good. Lets go!
Emma and Manny set off, walking down the street. A few older guys, probably in their 20's whistled at Manny, and Manny just smiled and tossed her hair. Emma thought, She's got it so easy. I mean, she can get any guy she wants. She doesn't have to worry about relationships and getting her heart broken.
They reached Emma's house and Emma let herself in with the key.
Emma wasn't even caring about that anymore. She was thinking if she could be like Manny, with her gorgeous looks and easy attitude. Then she would show Sean what he lost, and she could get anyone she wanted. She would never have to go through this pain again. No guy would want to drop her after she turned hot.....
Manny: EMMA! DID YOU HEAR ME?
Emma: Manny, I'm sorry, my minds somewhere else. I was just thinking you could give me a makeover. This probably sounds crazy, but I'm SICK of being such a goody-goody. And you get so much attention....you've never been through this pain. If I could be like you....I'd never get hurt again. And that would show Sean what he did to me and what he lost once I become hot.
Manny: Now THATS a great idea. Why don't we go shopping this afternoon and get you some hot clothes? But are you sure you're up to it? I mean, you seemed so sad back at school....
Emma: I'm fine Manny. I got $80 from helping baby-sit Jack, so we can get allot of stuff. I've made up my mind. This is what I want to do. I'll show everyone.
Manny: OK, then its settled. Tomorrow we'll both be hot.
They both smiled, and got their things together to go shopping.
Authors Note: I know this chapter kind of sucks, but it will get better!!
