Beautifully Undone

Chapter One: Her Life

If you look at a photograph of Manuella Maria Santios from two year ago, you could use many words to explain her: sweet, nine, friendly, happy, pretty...Are a few. But, if you look at a photograph of Manny Santos now, well..there are not so nice, but some, things you can say: Hot, beautiful, slutty...Not to get too far into it.

Whenever Manny walks through the halls of Degrassi Community School, she gets nasty looks from some people, from others she get whistles and asked sick things.

Manny wasn't always like this, she wasn't always the croptop-mini skirt- thong wearing type.

Her best friend was Emma Nelson, Degrassi's enviromentalist freak, as people called Emma behind her back. They met in kindergarden and clicked right away.

Manny was just a regular girl, an invisible girl. By seventh grade, some things started to slightly change. She became part of Degrassi's Spirit Squad, one of the best on the team. So, she became friends with Paige Michalchuk, one of the most popular girls, in the grade above her.

In eight grade, She was still beast friends with Emma and thanks to her, Manny met her first major crush: Craig Manning, he was sweet, cute and could sing, all that Manny wanted. But, she ruined her chance with him on their first date, which because of Manny's nerves, went terrible. Manny didn't thinks so though, she thought her first date went teriffic. But, Craig ended up breaking her heart.

In ninth grade, Manny decided to change her look, because of one person: Sully Johansen, who turned out to be a conceded jerk.Manny's crush on Craig still lingered on, even though Craig was with Ashley Kerwin. When, ashley adn Craig got in a fight at Paige's sixteenth birthday party, Craig stormed out of the party. Manny, then knew it was her only chance with Craig, right then..So, she followed him.

Manny ended up making a huge mistake: She slept with Craig. After that night, Manny kept having a secret realtionship with Craig. Which led to Emma and her not being friends, because Emma thought what Manny and Craig were doing was totally wrong.Manny's heart was broken again, when Craig said he would break up with Ash for Manny, but didn't. Craig continued to have a relationship with both Manny and Craig. Craig ended up losing both Ashley and Manny, because of that.

Manny's life hit another low, when she found out she was pregnant with Craig's child. She had an abortion, even though everyone in school knew, because Ashley told them.

That's why people think of Manny Santo's as a slut. She hates her life, everyday gets worse for her. She just wants things to be the way they use to be.

A/N: I will up-date tommorrow. The rest of the story is in Manny's POV.
