THE RAVINE
Chapter 1:
Emma: I cannot believe Sean is actually gone. Ellie has to be heart broken.
Manny: Yeah yeah Em, can we puh-lease do something this weekend? I heard that there is this great party at the ravine tonight.
Emma: I have to baby-sit, mom's going out with Snake and I'm stuck watching Jack.
Manny: Get Liberty to do it I heard she was looking for a job.
Emma: Ok, but we can't stay out long.
They run into Liberty and tell her about tonight. Liberty nods her head in agreement. Then they go to computer class.
Snake: You're late girls.
Emma and Manny: Sorry, the uh girls bathroom
Liberty: Was flooded, it was flooded and we tried to clean it up.
Emma: (whispering to Liberty) Thank you so much (she smiles).
JT: What's really going on here?
Manny: There's a party in the ravine tonight and we're crashing it!
Emma: Manny! Iks-nay on the partay (she said in a demanding voice).
Toby: Alright!
JT: Tobbs I don't think they really want us going to the party.
Manny: Well it's not that I…
Snake: (walking over to them and leaning over) could you pay attention Ms. Santos. And Emma, I need to speak with you after class please.
After class:
Snake: Emma, you've been late to class ever since Mr. Cameron left, would you like to explain yourself?
Emma: Mr. Simpson I just…(almost in tears) I just wanted you to think that I had everything under control, I…I'm sorry it's just with the stabbing and all I couldn't handle the pressure-
Snake: its okay Em, your mom and I love you and Jack both, maybe we should stay home tonight, have a family night without crazy drama.
Emma: (wiping her tears) No, I'm good really, I'll be on time I promise and you and Spike need a good night out to yourselves. Honest.
