CH 2

Manny walked into school with Emma and Sean, well more like ran the rain was coming down like crazy. She parted with Emma and made her way to the locker she shared with Mia. She was just about to say something to Mia when Spinner and Jimmy passed. Spinner smiled and nodded at Manny and then stopped and walked over.

"Black pants and a white button up shirt" he said smiling. Manny nodded and then turned to Mia.

"Um, and what was that about" Mia asked confused.

"I took your advice I got a job!" Manny said happily.

Mia giggled and Manny smiled at her "my guess is that you got a job at the dot" Mia said looking down the hall at Spinner. "You just make sure you keep your hands to your self and not on him, and focus on your job missy" Mia said smiling at Manny.

"What excuse me?" Manny said blushing and laughing "I take offense to that, I am VERY serious when it comes to work" Mia crossed her arms and looked at Manny. "It just so happens my co worker is my sexy ex boyfriend" Manny said hitting her head into the locker "Maybe I should quit" Manny said looking at Mia.

Mia giggled and shook her head "Manny you will do just fine I have complete faith in you!" she said putting her hand on Manny's shoulder.

The bell rang and the two girls parted ways. The day went by slowly and finally lunch was there, The Sean and Emma romance hour. Manny didn't look forward to lunch for a few reasons, food and the love birds. It made her want to be sick and she didn't even have to use her fingers. She shook her head as she closed her locker and made her way to the cafeteria. She looked to her table to see another person sitting there. "Spinner?" she said out loud but quietly to herself. She walked over and set her purse down. "Um hey" she said confused.

They all looked up "I was um just asking Emma and Sean if I could sit with you guys and they said it was up to you." He looked up at her.

She felt her stomach drop and nodded "o um sure" she said giggling like a little girl she stopped herself after the realized how stupid she sounded.

Sean and Emma got up and walked to the lunch line. Spinner sat across from Manny looking at her. She blushed and looked down. She was about to say something but she was interrupted by Darcy. She walked past in a short mini skirt and touched Spinner shoulder and waved. He nodded his head and looked back at Manny who rolled his eyes. "Virgin Mary my ass" Manny said angrily. Spinner looked at her in shock. She didn't know if she offended him and that's not what she wanted "I am so sorry" she said nervously.

Spinner laughed "Now that was funny" he said laughing. Manny sighed and laughed with him.

Sean and Emma walked back to the two laughing. "What's so funny?" Sean asked.

"Manny over here is quite the joker" spinner said smiling and looking at Manny. Manny's heart melted she felt like she did when she first saw Craig, except this time it felt more real. Something like Christmas morning when your little, that's how good it felt.

Emma smiled "well who knew Manny was so funny, Hun you have been so gloomy lately" Emma said looking at her. Leave it up to Emma to put all Manny's dirty laundry on the table.

"I need some water" Manny said standing up and leaving the table.

Spinner looked over at Emma who shrugged. "What do you mean?" Spinner asked.

"Well you know everything going on with Craig the whole parents still hating her thing I mean she has had it pretty rough she is not even eating right" Emma said munching on her fries, she got over the eating disorder, Manny never actually admitted anything. Spinner stood up and followed her out. He caught up with her.

"You okay?" he asked.

She shook everything off. "Yea I am perfectly fine" she said faking it.

"Okay because Emma just told me…" She put her finger to his lips and he stopped.

"Emma is so wrapped up in Sean that she doesn't know left from right; want to know the last time Emma and I have really talked, Last year when SHE was in the hospital for anorexia and bulimia." Manny said looking at spinner. He looked toward the cafeteria and then back at Manny.

"Okay well, bell is about to ring I will see you later today" he touched her arm softly and made his way to his locker.

Manny waited for him to walk away and made her way into the bathroom. She checked the stalls, no one. She began to cry. She cried and cried until she felt sick. She went into the stall and puked up the granola bar she ate. She flushed the toilet and made her way to the sink where she rinsed her mouth then popped some gum. She didn't mean to get sick this time; she was just so worked up. Spinner probably thought she was some basket case now. She didn't even know why she cared. She was so over him, yea right. She fixed her make up and hair and walked out to finish the day.

She made her way home in the rain and fixed her hair, it was three thirty and the rain was pouring. She put her hair up in a pony tail, put on a pair of black pants with no pockets in the back, a pair of black shoes and a white tight button up three quarter length. She searched for her umbrella, her phone kept going off on the bed but she didn't answer. Finally after three times she walked over and picked it up with out looking.

"Hello" she said annoyed.

Spinner giggled. "well hello to you to, do you know what time it is?" he asked.

She got nervous "O god I'm late…it's just that is so rainy outside I was looking for an umbrella and…"

"Manny chill I was joking, I am outside waiting to give you a ride so come on" he said flipping his phone closed and he laughed to himself. Manny always worried she never stopped even he knew that.

She ran up the steps so fast she tripped. She quickly got up and got her bag and walked out the door. She saw spinner and smiled, wow he looked cute, despite her day so far things were looking up.
