Not such a good idea

"Oh my god," yelled Emma, in shock. She could see Craig and Manny practically going at it on Manny's bed.

"Oh god," yelled Manny, as she struggled to put her shirt back on. Craig quickly pulled on his pants, and his shirt. He waved bye, and crawled out the window. Just as Manny got up to fix her hair, Emma said while shaking her head, "Wow, these things that happen in my basement."

"Ha-ha," laughed Manny. "Maybe if you're lucky you'll get some action over your own."

"Yeah right," sighed Emma, as she sat down on the bed.

"What happened?" asked Manny, she knew that by the look on Emma's face it had to be something big.

"Well, Sean gave me a ride home today," Emma started to explain.

"Ok…." Manny said cautiously, while she sat down next to Emma on the bed. "And?"

"He apologized to me for everything. He also asked if we could be friends…." Emma said slowly.

"Friends?" Manny questioned.

"Secret Friends," Emma corrected. "And he said that Jen couldn't know."

"God I hate her, she's such a bitch," whined Manny. "Why do I get that that's not the entire story though?" questioned Manny.

'God Manny knows me too well,' thought Emma.

"Well he asked me to meet him in the ravine tonight, around 10," Emma said, with a smile on her face.

"Oh my GOD!!" screamed Manny.

"Yeah it is, it's just….." Emma started to say.

"Your not sure if he means it and he's just doing it to be an ass," Manny finished.

"Exactly," responded Emma. "And I don't want to get hurt again."

"Well, if you want to know the truth, I don't think it's that good of an idea," said Manny, with a frown.

"Why not?" questioned Emma.

"Well for one, the people that hang out on the ravine aren't exactly the most straight-edge. Two, I don't want to see you get hurt again," Manny explained.

"But what if I don't care about those reasons?" asked Emma.

"It's your choice," Manny shrugged. "So are you gonna meet him tonight?"

"I want too," Emma said. "But will you please, please, cover for me tonight?"

"I guess," said Manny, with a shrug. "But just so you know, I still don't think it's a good idea."
