Secrets and Lies

"School slut. Emma I can't believe you just because I have the guts to get what I want unlike you at least I don't chicken out," Manny Santo shouted angrily at Emma Nelson.

"Manny what happened to you I mean before at least you had some morals," Emma said. "Whatever I don't need to stand here and listen to this," Manny said.

"Well you really don't have to worry cause I'm never speaking to you again," Emma said. "I won't," Manny, said turning her head to the cafeteria.

Emma stood in the same spot for a few seconds and then walked away to her locker. I can't believe Manny. She'd do anything just to be with Craig its so sad. Emma thought.

Her mind went back to coming into her room after almost kissing Chris and seeing Manny and Craig's face almost glued together.

Emma just shooked her head and walked outside to eat her lunch. Poor Ashley I can't believe Craig is doing this.

"Emma! Emma!" someone called behind her. Emma didn't look to turn she knew who it was. Craig. Emma started to walk faster so he wouldn't catch up. "Wait!" Craig said when he did catch up.

"What Craig." Emma said tossing her head and giving Craig the worst look. "Umm about me and Manny. It was a mistake....Please don't...." Craig started to say. "Please don't tell Ashley right." Emma said.

"Craig, do you really think your right for cheating on your own girlfriend." Emma continued. "Are you goanna tell her," Craig said looking sad and confused.

"No. It's none of my business." Emma said walking away.

"I know I can't believe she would do that," Manny said to Toby and JT her friends in the lunchroom. "What did you do," Toby said. Manny turned her head looking at Craig walking into the lunchroom.

"I doesn't matter she called me a.....," Manny started to say. "Manny we need to talk," Craig, said coming up to her.

"Is there something wrong?" Manny said acting like nothing happened. "Manny please," Craig said looking desperate. "Umm yeah hold on," Manny said getting her cookie and walking behind her.

"We can't........" Craig started to say. "We can't do this anymore," He said lowering his voice. "Craig I like you and I know you do to." Manny said getting closer to him.

"No! No! Manny I don't..I can't. I have a girlfriend." Craig said. Manny looked down. "Wanna piece," Manny said smiling as if Craig didn't just reject her.

"I.....I love her Manny," Craig said. "No. Because if you did you wouldn't come back to me," Manny said.

"I'm just conf.....," Craig started to say. "No you're not confused I know you're not Craig. I really like you Craig and I know you will to," Manny said. Craig started to scratch his head feeling confused.

"Craig you look like a monkey," Manny said laughing softly. "No! Manny it's not funny. I don't.... I can't be with you. So please just don't," Craig said. "Don't what.....Show you how much I care and love and feel about you," Manny said putting her hand on his arm. "Stop." Craig said moving her arm,

"Manny I don't want to be with you and I don't wanna do this anymore," Craig said irritated. "You really mean that Craig." Manny said. He nodded and Manny walked away.

I know Craig wants to be with me. So why can't he just breakup with Ashley. Manny thought as she walked away. Maybe I could make Ashley breakup with him. I could get Ashley to see Craig and me together and then when she breaks up with him Craig will see how much I really care.

Manny walked back into the lunchroom much more angrier than she did before. But this time she didn't care. Manny was angrier than ever.

She walked back to her seat threw her stuff away and walked out. What's up with her? JT thought when she came in.

He walked behind her leaving Toby.

"Are you okay?" JT asked as he caught up with Manny. Manny turned away angrily. JT almost thought she would just scream at him to go away until he saw her face.

Manny's face was just a little red. You could tell she was about to cry. Her eyes were squinting trying not to cry she wiped away a tear.

"What did he do?" JT asked as he sat on the stairs with her. "I doesn't matter its stupid." Manny said still crying.

"If your crying then I doubt its something stupid." JT said. "You know I really liked him."

Manny started to say. "I thought he liked me to." Manny said.. "He used me and I was so dumb to fall for him." Manny said.

"Wait you..you and Craig," JT said. "It's a long story okay and frankly I really just wanna be alone." Manny said. "I'm sorry if you got hurt." JT said.

"But you can't let some stupid guy make you cry. I mean no boy is worth your tears." JT said.

"He is." Manny said. "I know he is." Manny finished. "I just think that you should be happy and if him hurting you makes you happy then be with him." JT said.

Manny looked up and saw this sweet and caring face in front of her. "Why are you so in love with him," JT continued.

"I'm not. I really don't know what I am. All I know is that Craig and I belong with each other." Manny said.

"Are you sure." JT said.

"Yes." Many replied.

"Well then go after him. Only if you know he wants you," JT said.

"Thanks." Manny said.

JT smiled. "Don't worry I'll always be here." He said. And walked away.

Manny closed her eyes and sat there for a second.

Manny covered her hands within her face.

She decided that she would make Emma's life a living hell and she knew how. It was the perfect plan.
