Ch.2- "...Show Me..."

Emma watched Manny and Sean outside of the classroom. She wondered what they were talking about. Sean and Manny never really talked that much, so seeing them together was a shock for Emma, to say the least. Emma watched as Manny looked into the room. She said something that looked as thought she was complaining. Sean looked inside the classroom. Emma figured they were talking about her. About how horrible she was and how she ruined both of their lives. Emma saw Sean grab Manny's arm and they began running away from the room. 'Their skipping together!" Emma thought in disgust. She kept her eyes on them until the left her site. She felt jealousy rise in her body. She felt a tap on her shoulder as the bell rang.

"Hey Emma." Chris said sitting next to her. "Did you have fun at the rave?" He asked.

"Yeah, I had a blast." She said looking at her homework.

"Really? Because it doesn't sound like it." Chris said looking at her. Emma looked at Chris and took in a deep breath.

"Sorry, I just..." She paused and looked in the direction that Manny and Sean ran off. "I have something on my mind right now." She said.

"Okay, well, just um...I'll talk to you later than Emma." He said turning his attention to Mr. Simpson.

Manny and Sean walked into his house. "So, this is where you live?" Manny asked looking around. "Nice." She said as she walked over to the couch. Sean sat next to her. "So, what do we do now?" She asked smiling. Sean cleared his throat.

"Well, we could watch television or..." He began as he looked into Manny's black eye's. "You have really pretty eyes." He said. Manny giggled softly.

"Thank you. What were you going to say before that? We could watch television or...what?" She asked looking into his eyes.

"Or we could...um...Tracker's not going to be home for a while, so we could do pretty much anything." He said sitting a little closer to her.

"So, is this where you brought the girl that left that hickey on your neck?" She asked smiling. Sean quickly covered the hickey with his hand and sat back on the couch.

"Um...Well, I..." Sean stumbled to find the words. Manny just laughed. Just the fact that he was trying to cover his tracks made Manny impressed.

"There's no need to make up an excuse for me, Sean. I understand." She said standing up. She walked around. "So, where is your room?" She asked without even hesitating. Sean's eye widened at her question and a smile smile crept his mouth.

"Um...It's back there. Second door on the left." He said pointing to the back. Manny smiled.

"Aren't you going to show me it?" She asked. Sean swallowed hard and stood up.

"Sure, why not." He said leading her into the dark hallway. He opened his bedroom door and smiled. She walked inside. He looked up towards the cieling. "Thank you." He said softly. He followed her in and shut the door. She looked around at his room and then back to him.

"Nice." She said smiling before she walked over to his stereo. "What kind of music do you like?" She asked looking back at him. He walked up to her and opened his stereo.

"Just about anything. But mostly rap and rock." He said showing her his CD collection. "What about you?" He asked.Manny shrugged.

"Anything I can dance to. Do you like to dance?" She asked taking out a CD and putting it in the player. Sean shrugged.

"Sort of, I'm not very good at it." Manny took his hand and put it on her waist.

"Well, it's not that difficult. Just move to the beat." She said as the song began. It was "Hot In Herre" By Nelly. Sean and Manny began to move with the music. Sean kept his eyes on their feet. Making sure he didn't step on her. He wasn't sure of how good of a dancer he was. Manny took his other hand and put it around her. "Sean, look up. Quit looking at our feet." She whispered touching his face softly. Sean looked into her eyes.

"Sorry, I just don't want to step on you." He said before taking in a big breath.

"You won't just trust me." She said smiling slightly. Sean kept his eyes on hers and slowly began to stop dancing. He leaned in and brushed his lips on hers, hoping she would take his invite to kiss. Manny pressed her lips to his. She wasn't sure how far things would go with him. But she was interested to see what might. She then thought of after the rave and being with Craig. She pulled back a bit. "Sean, I'm sorry. I can't. It's just...I am in love with someone else." She said looking into his eyes.
