THE DOT:
Spinner was going on his 3 hour shift of work before the party and his friends came in to hang out, his friends as in the bad crew, not the jocks.
Jay, Sean, Ellie, and Alex.
"I don't even want to go to this lame party." Alex said, digging her hands into her black baggy pants, sitting beside Jay at the counter who boredly ripped at the napkin on the table.
"Lame?" Spinner repeated, "It's going to be the biggest party yet, it's at Brookes house aka mansion!" he exclaimed in awe and excitement.
"I'm down." Jay confirmed with a shrug, Alex gave him a look. Really?
"Are we even allowed in?" Sean joked, knowing he had bad tension with Jimmy.
"I got your invites guys." Spinner said as if he was V.I.P, Jay chuckled.
"It'll be fun." Ellie said sarcastically, sharing a look with Sean who snickered and shook his head then shrugged.
Be my girl,
Be my girl,
Are you gonna be my girl?
Be. My. Girl.
Are you gonna be my girl, yeah!
The party was huge, you could barely walk far, and you had to squish if you wanted to go somewhere else in the house.
Music blasted so hard you had to yell over it, and it vibrated the floor and walls, as if the dancing and jumping didn't do enough.
"KEG STAND!" yelled Spinner, leading Emma and Manny inside the party and spotting Craig doing one.
Both Paige and Ashley stood near, watching, and rolled their eyes until Paige gasped, "Hazels here!" she pointed to her best friend.
Hazel looked a wreck and Ashley whispered to Paige, "I'm shocked she's showing her face here after what Jimmy did."
Paige gave her a look, "Ash, we're her friend." She went on over to Hazel and they shared a hug, "Hun, how are you doing?"
Ashley came over and tried to give a supporting face as Hazel gave a sad smile, "I'm surviving." They all shared sympathy smiles and Ashley went to open her mouth until she screamed when beer was poured all over them by 'metal head stoners' moshing behind them, they got Hazel and Paige too who started shrieking.
The guys looked over and Craig whiped his mouth from the Keg stand and joined in on the laughing with Jimmy and the guys.
Emma and Manny walked by, rolling their eyes, "This might of been a mistake." Emma confirmed. Tonight, she decided it was fair to get a bit more dressed up than usual, wearing a sexy yet casual little black dress with her long hair waving naturally but beautifully.
Manny wore her hip hugging jean skirt and tight white tank top that showed off her belly botton ring.
A voice came out of nowhere, speaking over the music and blocking them from passing, "Wow, probably the only thing we ever agreed on Cause girl." Alex said to the blonde, "Only I think this party was a mistake starting now, because you're here." She crossed her arms.
Emma and Manny shared a look as Emma spoke, not even looking at Alex, "Ouch Alex, you know.. I'll really miss you when I'm gone, I think everybody will." She said ever so monotonely.
Alex rolled her dark eyes as Jay took a swig of beer, "Ugh, lets get out of here Jay." She went to grab his hand.
"I'm having fun." Denied Jay, shaking his head no and giving her an annoyed 'what?' look when she gave him a what the hell look.
She snapped at hi, "Fine, I'm out, you're all lame." She confirmed when Sean came over and shoved passed him, leaving.
Sean passed Manny first, taking in her expected promisicous..outfit. "Manny.." he breathed, raising his eyebrows and looked to Jay who laughed.
Emma rolled her eyes knowing what they were sharing a look for. Boys!
"Hey." Sean nodded at Jay greetingly then gave a look between him and the girls, wierd, them all standing together..
A blonde guy randomly came on in, he was pretty cute too, kind of skinny, tall though and a clean cut look.
"Hi." He said very confidently to Emma, slyly grinning.
"Hi.." Emma said slowly, a wierded out smile creeping out. Yet, she had to admit he was cute.
He put his hand out, "I'm Peter." He greets and she slowly shook his hand, not knowing what to say.
"Emma." Manny said for her, leaning her body over to let Peter know who laughed lightly.
"Sup man?" Sean asked Jay, trying to ignore this guy hitting on Emma, Jay couldn't be more intrigued though.
"Watching Casanova in action." Jay said, pointing at Peter flirting with Emma still.
Peter heard that and narrowed his eyes a bit at Jay and then coughed, "You wana dance?" he asked Emma hopefully.
Emma bit the end of her tounge, not really wanting to but sick of Jay making fun of everyone, so thought she'd give this guy a chance.
"Sure." She walked off with him, grabbing his hand.
Jay tilted his head and Sean raised an eyebrow, Manny smirked with redemption.
"Well look at that, he did it." Taunted Jay, rolling his eyes and taking a swig of his beer again.
Sean shook his head, "Doesn't seem her type." He admitted.
"Are you her type Sean?" taunted Manny, squeezing through the boys and Jay oh'd with a laugh, watching Sean's face look embarrassed.
The guys went back to watching Emma dancing rather too closely with this Peter, Jay shook his head, "I'm out." He told Sean and gave him his beer, leaving.
Sean kept watching the two dancing and took a big gulp of the beer before walking off too.
"Tonight will be the night." Toby Issacs said into a mirror on the wall in a hall of the party, "Tonight will be the night."
"What will be tonight Toby?" giggled Manny while passing, holding her own drink now and Toby blushed.
He coughed and admitted, "I'm going to tell Emma I'm still in love with her."
"You're not inlove." Manny said rolling her eyes, "You just have a crush."
"She should be my girl friend!" exclaimed Toby, pushing his glasses more up on his noise.
Manny shook her head and insisted, "Take my advice Tobes, don't do it."
"oh..my..god" Emma said, walking over to them. Toby almost stumbled and tried to act cool as she came closer.
He happily greeted, "Emma!"
"Hey Toby." Emma said quickly but went straight to Manny, almost blocking him out, "That guy was pretty cute! He's going to Degrassi next year." She told Manny.
"Bonus, he was hot." Manny insisted, but passed Toby a 'sorry but i told ya' look.
Toby sighed and Emma asked out loud, "Am I ready for another relationship again?"
"If you think it could be serious..." drifted Manny with a shrug. Emma needed someone as independent as her, as strong, as gorgeous..
"I don't know.." Emma admitted, leaning on a wall, "He was nice, and cute.. but.." she shook her head, something was missing.
He was TOO nice to her, almost fake. She wanted someone so..real.
"You want someone who knows you." insisted Toby, Emma smiled adoringly at him.
"Right!" she declared.
"I know you." he said with a foolish grin, blushing.
Emma smiled shaking her head, "I know you do Tobes." She hugged him and then let the rejection set in, "That's why you're like my brother."
Toby frowned deeply. He then took off.
Manny giggled but asked Emma, "So what are you looking for in a man Miss Nelson?"
Emma thought about it seriously for a moment, "..Maybe someone who respects my interests, my 'causing'.. he doesn't have to agree with my every opinion but at least support me. Someone who actually knows me!"
"Where the hell would that kind of guy be?" teased Manny as Chris Sharpe came over.
"You came." He said to Emma.
Emma blinked and nodded but smiled, "Told you I would."
Meanwhile, back with the guys..
"Dude, did you do it?" Jimmy asked Craig impatiently, pulling him away from dancing and laughing with Ashley
Craig coughed awkwardly, "I-I'll do it now."
"Alriiight." Jimmy nodded and watched Craig go back to Ashley who stopped dancing, seeing him come back and smiled.
"Ashley!" Craig said over the music.
"Yeah?" she asked.
"Look." Craig looked down and the spoke, "I've been thinking."
"I can't hear you!" Ashley put her hand to her ear, the music was so loud!
"I think we.." Craig drifts off and Ashley scoffed.
She still couldn't hear him, "What?!"
"I THINK WE SHOULD BREAK UP!" Craig yelled as soon as the song was done and the music stopped, and everything heard.
"Ohhhhh." The crowd chanted and laughed, watching the humiliation cross Ashleys face.
Her mouth dropped and she ran off, passing Paige and Hazel on the way who shook their heads at Craig.
"Jerk!" Hazel said, running after Ashley.
Paige walked by him and also took a shot at Craig, "Way to go jackass." Craig blinked and turned to Jimmy.
Jimmy went over to him and put an arm around Craig, "Time to get some ladies."
"I feel kinda bad." Craig admitted, looking sad.
"You'll start feeling good in a second my brother." Joked Jimmy, pulling him to a pair of hot blonde girls, "Girls, wana dance?" he asked, pointing between him and Craig when the music started again.
"AS if." Laughed the blonde, the other one snickered and walked off.
"Losers." They heard and stared off in shock.
"Losers?" Craig repeated, looking back at Jimmy whose mouth fell and tried to shake it off like it meant nothing.
