It was a hot autumn day in Canadia, and it was the first day back at Degrass i Community School. Manny wiped the remaining perspiration off her forehead as she jogged to school. SHE smiled as Emma came into view. A whole summer in the Philippines can really put a strain on your relationship with your best friend.
"EMMAAAAAAA!" she yelled. Emma looked up from "War and Peace" and broke out into a Wide grin.
"Manny! Darling, I missed you so much! Tell me ALL about the Philippines!" shouted Emma. Her book lay forgotten on the ground next to her.
"Maybe later girl, we gotta jet to class!" Manny exclaimed, brimming with happiness. Emma nodded and they both walked off together, their arms linked, singing.
After their first and only class with Mr. Simpson, they walked out and started making plans for the evening.
"I haven't been to the Dot in so long," said Manny. "Let's go and get something to eat!" Emma avoided Manny's eyes.
"Actually, Manny, I need to tell you somethhhing," Emma said quietly. "ALONE."
They walked to a secluded part of Canadia.
"What is it?" Manny asked, while placing her hand on Emma's cheek and the other hand on her shoulder. "You know, you can tell me anything." She winked, and moved her hips to her own beat.
"WELL, okay," Emma decided after ten minutes' of thinking about it, while Manny had stood there and moved her hips. "With you being gone in the Philippines so long, and me having no other friends, I had a lot of time to think. Mostly about my feelings, and how I can't seem to find a good guy, despite having dated every single one at Degrassi!"
"Please, just tell me what's wrong!" Manny exclaimed, and did a fast little jig with her hips, and quit dancing. Emma frowned disapprovingly.
"WELL, Manny…" Emma started, pushing her sandy golden hair past her ears and blinking her large emerald eyes slowly and carefully, while she crossed her arms over her pink and white frilly blouse, and shifted her weight on to her other leg really slowly and seductively. She licked her lips and wished she had some Burt's Bees lip balm. "I think I'm finally ready to come out of the closet."
"Oh my, Emma! Is this because of the stupid Degrassi boys that have all dumped you at some point? Don't worry, the right one is out there somewhere!" said Manny. The hand she had so carefully placed on Emma's shoulder now slid down, accidentally grazing Emma's breast. Emma jumped, startled at Manny's touch, and felt heat rise to her face. Her eyes widened and she could feel her pulse racing quickly. She felt a mixture of lust, adoration, and disappointment in Manny's misunderstanding.
"No, Manny!" Emma exclaimed heatedly. "The reason I'm telling you this is not only because you're my best friend, but because…. You are the reason I've come out with these feelings!" She took Manny's hand and placed it back on her shoulder, hoping Manny would take the hint.
"Oh me oh my," said Manny. She didn't know quite what do to. Yes, she had had some thoughts of Emma while she had been overseas, but never thought her dream scenario could become a reality. She decided to take advantage of the situation and hope it wasn't a cruel trick! "Girl I admit I've had some thoughts about you too girl."
Emma's emerald sparkling eyes widened in disbelief. "Are…are you SERIOUS!" she shouted in glee, merrily. Manny nnnooodded happily, and slowly leaned in towards Emma, moving her hand from Emma's shoulder to where…well, YOU KNOW. Emma blushed, and began to move her hips to a beat along with Manny's, whose hips had started moving again about a minute ago.
Manny moved her mouth close to Eamma's, whispered "Could this be true?", but was interrupted as Emma shoved her mouth to Manny's. Manny moved her tongue, and they began to "make out". They were enveloped in a enticing mixture of passion, restrained and now released lust, and a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful love known as MEMMA.
