Manny and Toby were at their lockers grabbing their English books when Manny saw Emma and JT out of the corner of her eye. She turned back to her locker while rolling her eyes. Emma and JT were also at their lockers avoiding each others gaze while secretly trying to get a glimpse of the other.
"Can they be anymore obvious?" Manny asked.
"Probably, But at least they're not avoiding each other." Toby commented.
At that point the bell rang telling everyone to get to class.
"C'mon, we better go before we're late. Those two can find their own way to class." Manny laughed as she grabbed Toby by the sleeve and pulled him in the direction of Mrs. Kwan's class.
In the class Toby and Manny left two seats in between them for their two loveable, in love, friends. Emma and JT ran just before the late bell went off, earning them an evil glare from Mrs. Kwan. Emma turned to take her normal seat only to discover that some other kid from the class had taken it and the only two seats for her and JT were right next to each other. JT and Emma took their seats. As Mrs. Kwan started off her boring lecture on Moby Dick, Emma pulled out a scrap piece of paper and scribbled a note to Manny.
(A.N.: anything written will be underlined.)
"Manny, Switch seats with me?" Emma wrote.
"Why?"
"Because I can't see the Board."
"Kwan is lecturing; you don't need to see the board. Read the book."
"I forgot mine. Will you share with me?"
"Sorry, you read faster than I do. Share with JT."
Manny heard Emma groan quietly. Emma turned toward JT and whispered to him, asking to share his book. Later, at lunch Manny started formulating ideas of how to get her two best friends together. The four sat at their usual table, outside under some trees. Paige, Ashley, Marco, Spinner, Jimmy, and Hazel were sitting a few tables away. Emma and Toby were trying to explain the finer points of synthetic division to JT while they ate. Manny got up from the table.
"I'll be right back," Manny told them.
She walked over to Paige's table and sat down. She got to talking with them then just had to ask for help.
"Hey Paige, can I ask you something? Well I need your help with a little project." Manny told her.
"Sure, what is it?" Paige asked.
"I want to get Emma and JT together but I don't know how to go about doing it. Any advice?" Manny asked.
"Yeah, those two are somewhat lovey-dovey now, aren't they? Sure I, well we can help. What did you have in mind?"
"I don't know." Manny said.
Paige and Manny got to work making up a plan. They dubbed it "operation hookup." Soon enough everyone from the table had a hand in the master plan that was developing.
"Okay, so we have ways to get them to hang out together. How do get them to actually admit they have feelings for each other?" Manny asked.
"Oh, good question." Paige said.
"Make them jealous." Jimmy said popping into the conversation.
"What does that mean?" Hazel asked.
"I have an idea. Get them to go on a double date, separately; if they really like each other, it'll defiantly push some buttons." Jimmy said.
"Good plan Master Brooks." Paige Said.
"Just one problem, who do get to be the dates? I mean neither of us, except Manny, knows Emma and JT well enough to know what buttons to push, and if one of us were to ask either of them on date it would be out of nowhere." Ashley told everyone.
"And yet, another good point from Ash." Paige said.
"Well, only half a good point. I could get JT to take Liberty. Once he finds out that Emma is going on a date with someone he'll try to make her jealous by taking someone else out, anyone else." Manny added.
"Not bad, now who do we get to take Emma out?" Paige asked looking around the quad.
"Well she hates Sean, Jimmy and I don't really know her, and Chris has a girlfriend." Spinner said, finally contributing to the conversation.
"What about that new kid, Chester?" Hazel suggested.
"Perfect." Manny smiled.
"Okay, now we have a plan." Paige said matching her smile.
A few minutes later the bell rang and everyone headed off to their next class. Emma and Manny were sitting next to each other in Armstrong's math class doing some last minute problems that they forgot to do the night before. Armstrong collected the homework.
"So what were you and Paige's group talking about?" Emma asked.
"Oh, nothing just talking about a new routine for Spirit Squad." Manny lied.
"Okay, so what do you want to do after school?" Emma asked.
"Sorry, I can't, I have to practice." Many told her.
After Armstrong's math class, Manny quickly dropped off her book and went to find Chester. Unfortunately, he had gone home early, but they had gotten some help from Mr. Simpson when he paired Chester and Emma together and Manny and JT together for a project. This added a new twist to the plan and Manny was going to use to he advantage.
