Hey, I'm new to fanfiction. And the characters are kinda exaggerated. I don't think they're really as bad as they were made out to be. So nobody kill me.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Manny, Emma, JT, and Toby walked down the hall just like they did everyday to go to Mr. Simpson's class. Emma was talking her mouth right off of her face again. "So Manny, we are supposed to have some guest speaker in media immersion today, right? Oh well, maybe it won't be so bad. Mr. Simpson still has to enter my extra credit into the computer. Hmm, I wonder what my average will be."

As always, JT was making something sound worse than it really is. "...And Liberty just would not leave me alone! I mean she just won't take a hint!" Obviously Toby wasn't listening because he didn't say anything the whole time.

The day was slowly creeping along, and finally the only good thing about school came along...lunch. As always Emma had something to say about the lunch food being genetically modified or something. She always takes things too far.

Manny was just trying to eat a burrito as Emma waved around papers and yelled out a bunch of stuff. They finally got to sit down at a table when Emma ran out of papers. An actual table, can you believe it? They had sat down and a few minutes later Paige came around the corner with one of Emma's flyers, she sat it down at the table with disgust.

"Emma, do you remember the last time you pulled the whole genetically modified foods thing? Yea well I do? It was terrible. Forget it ok? You aren't going to talk Raditch into anything. Oh and by the way, I am starting a spirit squad in case any of you want to 'try' out. No gaurantee any of you will actually make it though." Manny didn't really pay any attention to it. She just wanted school to be over already.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
The next day,..

As Manny got off the bus and headed for the double-doors of hell, she ran into Paige. "Manny, you were in gymnastics for a few years right? Well I will be looking forward to seeing you trying out for the squad. Oh, and maybe you should wear something I haven't seen Grade threes wearing?? Maybe you should spice things up a bit?? Just a thought, though,.. think about it, okay?"

Manny wasn't really concerned about trying out, but now that Paige got her attention, she was a bit excited. She never thought Paige would want her on the squad. Hmm... maybe this is a good thing. She always wanted to be a cheerleader. But what will Emma think? Maybe she shouldn't tell Emma. Whatever happened she wanted to do it.

Again, lunch crept along. She had decided she was going to tell Emma what she was going to do. Whether she liked it or not. Emma was still hooked onto the whole genetically modified foods thing. Manny knew she wasn't listening so she decided to tell her now. "Umm, Emma,.. I am gonna, well, kinda... it's a bad idea. But, umm...try out for the spirit squad,.."

Emma dropped everything, slowly turned around, and speechlessly, dropped her jaw. "What do you mean try-out? You won't ever have time for me! You know, I knew Paige was going to do this. How could you Manny? You are deserting me!!" Manny was so disappointed she didn't know what to say. "You know what Emma? I don't care what you think anymore! I follow you around every day, I do what you need me to do, I am so tired of it! I am my own person whether you like it or not! Just get over it!" Emma just walked off slowly, very suprised. Manny wasn't so sure that that was the right thing to do, but she was glad it happened. But somehow, she felt sort of guilty.

But let's worry about what to wear and what to do. Who would know what Paige wants to see? Ellie probably didn't care, Kendra was busy, Liberty was no help, and Emma was mad at her. But who else is there? Hazel!! Hazel would know just what to wear and just what to do when the time comes for her to try out. But how would she ask Hazel. They don't even really talk. This was gonna take time. It was the end of the day already and she needed to tell Hazel. She had to beat Paige to The Dot so that maybe she could find Hazel and talk to her first.
