Make Me Your Wonderwoman

After JT's death, and with Sean and Emma's rekindled relationship, Emma gets an unexpected and much undesired gift from Sean. Liberty becomes a hooker and dates Jay. Manny is kicked out again.

----

Part One: "Give them what they want"

During another crowded and sociable passing period, Emma and Manny both walked to their lockers together. Though walking slowly without a carry in the world, everyone around them rushed.

"Sean is taking me out tonight for dinner. We've hadn't had an actual date in forever." Emma said suddenly. Manny gasped and shoved Emma a little, "Oh my god. So are you guys going to…you know…?" Manny asked uneasily. Emma chuckled and shrugged. "Are we going to have sex? Well, I don't know. You and I both know that didn't work out at your party. And sex is the last thing on my mind ever since JT's murder by Lakehurst." Emma explained.

Manny nodded and shrugged, "We all miss him. But don't let his death consume your relationship with Sean. The truth is, if you want to stay with him, and us being in high school, sex is….almost needed." She said.

The girls finally reached their lockers. Emma opened her locker with daze – processing Manny's last words of wisdom. Many opened her locker and quickly closed it. "Can you believe it? My CD isn't there either. I bet I gave it to Craig when we were together." Manny sneered. Emma laughed softly, still in thought, before closing her locker too. "Maybe you're right, Manny. I've got to get over it at some point. Sean and I will have sex tonight." She said determinedly.

There was a sudden bustle of hooting and hollering by males. Emma and Manny looked at each other before looking around the hall way. What they finally found astonished them. It was Liberty – the apparent girl who seemed to now be over JT's death. She was sported in a low cut mini skirt, a sexy tube top, and heels that complimented her move. Hooked around her arm was Jay – to the girls' surprise.

"Do you see what I am seeing, Manny?" Emma asked for clarification. Manny shook her head. "If it's Liberty the hooker tangled with Jay the parolee, then yes." Manny hinted. "We have to say something…" Emma said, stomping her way towards the new pair. "Emma!" Manny said in attempt to stop her.

"Liberty…" Emma said shortly, staring at her from top to bottom.

Liberty paused and responded defensively, "Why do you always insist on snooping into other peoples business?"

Emma shook her head. "Liberty, if this is some kind of tactic to get over JT, then it's just wrong."

Liberty hissed and Jay confidently entered the conversation. "Listen princess, why don't you go tend to Sean?" he said. Emma gave Jay an angered glare and then looked back at the poor Liberty. She walked away, only to hear Liberty scorn her as she walked. "I'm over him, Emma! And so should you!" Liberty hollered.

It was now after school and cheerleading squad practice for the big basketball against rivaling school, Hampton. After Darcy calling break for all the girls, Manny planted herself on the bleachers and took out her cell phone. She opened it and saw no reminder for missed calls or new text messages. "Damn," she said, "Damien still hasn't answered my call." She snickered.

Manny suddenly remembered she had forgot to call her parents about the after school rehearsal. She dialed her home number swiftly and waited for reply. The other girls were socializing on the gym court.

"Hey mom – I forgot to call you about practice. Yeah, I'm still at school. What? Come home immediately? Mom, what's wrong? Oh my god, I'll be there in a few minutes!" Manny gasped and closed her phone instantly. She stood on top of the bleacher and announced to the other girls, "Girls, I've go to go! Sorry!" Manny rushed out of the gym doors. The girls looked around dumbfounded before looking at Darcy, who didn't look very pleased with Manny's sudden leave.

Going home, Liberty walked uncomfortably down the street, annoying all of the ongoing talk by other walkers concerning her outfit.

"Did you hear about her? Yeah, she's dating Jay. She's become a Manny." One girl joked earlier.

Liberty wasn't used to so much attention. But ever since JT died, she was always in the spotlight. Her fling with Toby didn't make things any better too. A car suddenly pulled up to Liberty and came to a halt. Inside was a middle-aged man in a suit. Liberty figured he was probably going to ask for directions. She was hoping for that, anyway.

"Excuse me, little lady." The main inside the car said.

Liberty continued to walk but now closing her eyes – pretending that the man didn't exist.

"Excuse me, ma'am." The main repeated, more politely. Liberty stopped walking, opened her eyes, and turned to the man in the car. "Look, I've heard it all. So nothing you say is going to bother me." she declared. The man in the car laughed and shook his head. "I'm not here to judge, baby."

Liberty crossed her arms against her chest and eyed the man with interest. "What do you want, then?" she asked. "My name is Kurt. Kurt Hopkins. I have an offer for you." he said, now leaning out of his window.

"If it's drugs, I don't want any. I've already been through that kind of trouble." Liberty said hoarsely. Kurt shook his head and shrugged, "Nah, it's not about selling drugs. But, I know a way you can make a quick dollar. You seem like the kind of girl who needs to treat herself every once in awhile." Kurt replied.

Liberty now knew what he was hinting towards. She bit her lip and took a deep breath. "And if I do this…how much will I accumulate?" she asked, as if she were still in school during business class.

"I'll give you thirty-five for an hour. If you work your way up, we'll see where that goes." Kurt offered.

What was Liberty to do? She wasn't a whore. She was sporting a new look but it didn't necessarily mean she was out to sleep with a bunch of unknown men. And what about Jay? They were now going out. She couldn't betray him and lose him and JT. But she had to do something edgy. The truth was – she was still in love with JT. This was her perfect opportunity to delete him from her mind. After much thought and fast-paced hallucinations, Liberty gave her answer:

"Deal."
