-A Year to Remember-
Emma runs down the hall trying to get to class before the bell rings, but within seconds she hears the final bell sound.
Emma: Shoot, I'm gonna be late! (She quickly gets to her homeroom classroom, creaks open the door and slips into her seat.)
Mrs. Kwan: (her back is turned cause she is writing notes on the dry-erase board)Your late Ms. Nelson
Emma: I know I was trying to open my locker cause it was stuck and then when it finally opened my books came--
Mrs. Kwan: Don't let it happen again
Emma: I won't Mrs. Kwan (she slides down in her seat and covers her face with her hands)
Liberty: (she lean over and whispers to Emma sarcastically) Good job Emma
Emma: Gee thanks for that note Liberty...

After class Emma trudges to her locker not watching where she is going walks right into Sean.
Sean: Watch it
Emma: Sorry I wasn't looking- (she cuts herself off hen she sees Sean standing there) oh...
Sean: What?
Emma: Nothing
Sean: Whatever (walks away intentionally lightly bumping into her side)
Emma: Ugh... can this day get any worse (she looks at the row of lockers where her locker is and sees Manny and some other guy) well I think that is my answer... (she walks over to her locker and goes to say hi to Manny but hesitates for a second) Manny, hi how are you?
Manny: (she kisses the guy on the cheek and walks towards Emma) Hey Emma
Emma: Who was that?
Manny: Umm he....
Emma: Sorry, its none of my business
Manny: He's just my lab partner (she said almost defensively)
Emma: Oh, (she said almost surprised) I thought he was--
Manny: That's your problem (she pauses) you thought (she goes to walk away but feels a hand on her shoulder and turns around glaring)
Emma: I just was having a bad year and may have said some things I shouldn't have
Manny just stares hard with no expression.
Emma: Manny, I just--
Manny: Listen, I don't know what you think but (her eyes soften and she lets her smirk overcome her face) I accept your apology
Emma: (takes a breath of relief) Thanks... do you wanna come over my house later, if not I get it considering I have to watch Jack and all
Manny: Sure, we can study, I need it with my grades lately
Emma: Okay come over at 6ish
Manny: Fine, later (she walks away tossing her hair from side to side)

In the lunchroom, Spinner pulls up a seat next to Paige and kisses her cheek, Paige smiles.
Spinner: Hey Sweetie
Paige: Now this is the Spinner I like (she giggles a little then takes a bite of food of her fork)
Jt: (walks over to them) Hey Paige (switches his tone to a deep voice) Gavin...
Paige: Oh hey hun (waits for Spinner to say something then after a bit gives him a cold stare) Spin?
Spinner: What?
Paige sighs and rolls her eyes.
Spinner: What did I do?
Paige: Try being polite for a change (she answers coldly)
Spinner: What the... ugh... (he turns to Jt) Your debt is repaid or whatever so you can go now...
Paige: Spinner!
Spinner: What I was just telling him--
Jt: It's okay Paige, I'm okay I gotta meet this friend yeah this friend... then I gotta go some place... then theres something I have to do so I'm busy anyway (he walks away)
Paige: Jt! Wait a second! (turns to Spinner with anger written on her face)
Spinner: Finally alone (he leans in to kiss her but she stands) Paige... Where are you going??
Paige: To find Jt (she replied smugly)
Spinner brings his book to his fore head in frustration, then leans back in his chair and lets out a sigh.
