It Wasn't Supposed To Happen Like This

Manny Santos walked in front of Degrassi Community School. She wasn't looking foward to stepping inside.

It was the first day back from Winter Vacation and the start of her's hadn't been well. She had broken up with

the guy she had sort of been seeing, Craig, sinse he had lied to her, her boyfriend, Sully, didn't pay any attention

to her, and her best friend Emma wasn't talking to her-although she didn't mind that part.

She got up the courage to walk into the school. She walked to her locker which is right next to Emma's. The two

girls ignored eachother (like they always do) and both go their books and headed off in different directions. Manny

walked to the gym where she was supposed to meet Paige to go over some new cheers. She stopped short. She

saw Paige alright. But, she also saw someone else. Someone she really didn't want to see that gave her a very

bad feeling in her stomach. Ashley. She was looking straight at Ashley Kerwin. She was the girl that Manny had

gotten Craig to cheat on. Her and Ashley hadn't spoken sinse both girls broke up with Craig.

Ashley and Paige turned around and saw Manny staring at them.

"Hey Manny!" yelled Paige.

"Hey Paige! Umm...I have the new cheers." said Manny holding up the papers with cheers written on them.

"Okay. I'll only be a second. I just have to run to the bathroom to freshen up my make-up for the day," said Paige.

Paige ran to the girls room near the gym and Ashley and Manny were left alone. The girls just stood there not saying

anythin for a moment. Ashley then walked up to Manny. The thing was that Ashley didn't exactly know that Manny had

had Craig cheat on her. Manny had led her to believe that she had thought Craig and Ashley had broken up. Well she did.

But, Ash thought she never knew the two of them were ever going out. It was really just akward for them because they had

both been seeing Craig at the same time. Just then Paige walked back in.

"Paige, I should go," said Ashley.

"Why Ash?" said Paige, "I'll be with you in like 10 minutes. Manny and I just have to try out some new cheers. Just stick

around!"

"If Ashley wants to go she can!" Manny practically shouted.

"I better go," Ashley repeated.

"Okay, bye" said Paige.

Ashley walked out of the gym while Manny and Paige stayed. Paige waited until Ashley left then turned and looked at Manny.

"So are you evern going to tell me what happend?" Paige asked.

"What are you talking about?" questioned Manny.

"I'm talking about what happened between you, Ash, and Craig." said Paige.

"I don't want to talk about it." said Manny.

"Oh, come on Manny!" said Paige, "I'm dying over here! I need to know!"

"I don't know." said Manny.

"Please!" said Paige, "Ash hasn't told Me, Terri, or Ellie."

"Hey! Can we just look over these cheers? I'm kinda in a hurry." said Manny.

"Okay, whatever." said Paige, "But, I'll eventually find out."

Manny and Paige then looked over some new cheers and tried them out. Manny started to feel nauseous.

"Ummm...excuse me!" Manny said as she ran to the nearest girls bathroom.

"Manny?" Paige asked startled.

Manny ran to the girls washroom and threw up in closest stall. She walked out and saw Paige in the bathroom.

"Are you okay?" asked Paige, "You scared me."

"I'm fine." Manny assured her, "I think it's just something I ate."

At least Manny hoped it was.
