Chapter 9: Monday means Problems

On Monday, Emma walked to school with Manny and then each went to their lockers. Emma was opening her locker when Jay came up to her.

Jay: Hey.

Emma: What do you want?

Jay: Hey, calm down, remember Friday night? What happened to that Emma?

Emma: You got me drunk, I didn't mean any of that.

Jay: Well, you went along with it.

Just then, Alex walked up.

Alex: Jay, walk me to class. Why are you talking to this skank?

Emma: Shut up Alex, we were just discussing an assignment.

Alex: Whatever. Just back off.

She led Jay off, Emma looking kind of jealous after them. Just then, Sean came up to her.

Sean: Hey babe, why were you talking to Jay for?

Emma: Oh, just I was asking him about an assignment....what's up?

Sean: Asking him? Why not me?

Emma: I couldn't find you...its no big deal!

Sean: Yea, I guess so. So want me to walk you to class?

Emma: Yea, sure.

Emma and Sean were walking down the hall to their homeroom. They entered the classroom and sat down by each other. Emma was happy that Jay was in a different homeroom.

Then the bell rang, and Emma decided to skip this class and sit outside to clear her head. But guess who else was also skipping class? Sean, Jay, Alex, and Random Black Guy. They were all behind the school, doing something.

Sean: Hey baby, I didn't know you were skipping class. Come sit by us.

Emma shrugged, then came and sat by Sean and Random Black Guy. She noticed Jay was rolling some marijuana, then him and Alex were smoking it.

Emma: Hey, can I have some of that?

Sean stared for a minute, but Alex just rolled her eyes.

Alex: Since when does Little Miss Clean the Ravine want pot?

Emma: Just hand some over.

Alex just sighed and handed her a roll. Emma took it and started smoking.

Alex: Perfectly good waste of pot....

The boys went over to the car to get something, and Alex and Emma were left sitting. Alex was really pissing Emma off, but Em decided if she was going to be more fun and cooler, she'd have to hang with people who did illegal things, and just deal with them.

Alex: I kind of mistaken you for a boring nerd. But you've proved me wrong. You're actually pretty cool.

Emma: Thanks.

The boys came back with some more pot, and Sean came over and put his arm around Emma.

Jay eyed them and actually looked jealous for a minute. What Alex and Sean didn't know is Emma and Jay had a serious make-out session the other night. And Emma had enjoyed it.

The bell rang for third period, and Emma decided she better go to class, or she'd get in serious trouble.

She met Manny outside the classroom.

Manny: Where were you last hour?

Emma: Oh, I just skipped. Emma laughed.

Manny: Wow, I hope you don't get in trouble.

Emma: I wont. I also did some pot.

Manny's mouth dropped open.

Manny: Where'd you get pot?

Emma: Just Sean's friend Jay and his girlfriend Alex. Their actually pretty cool.

Manny: If you say so.

Mr. Armstrong: Girls, were waiting for you, stop gossiping about boys and get in here and sit down.

They laughed, then walked in.
