((AN: THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME REVIEWS!! So.like it? HAHA! Sorry,
but personally I hate cliffhangers and I hate the way Degrassi does that!
But I just had to leave you a little itty bitty one. So.here I go!))
Disclaimer: Yes, I own the whole Degrassi cast and they are hidden under my bed and occasionally I take them out and play with them! JUST KIDDING! I don't own anyone. So don't sue me k? Oh wait, I do own Jared but he's a butthead. You can have him!!
Emma ran down the street and turned left. Tears were running down her face. She turned right again and ran the doorbell
**Ding Dong, Ding Dong** Emma stood there wiping tears away from her eyes. Toby answered the door.
"Emma! What's wrong?" Emma collapsed in his arms
"I was so scared!" She said, in between sobs.
"What happened?" He said, trying to comfort her.
Luckily, their mother wasn't home. But Ashley heard what was going on and found Emma sobbing in the front room.
"What happened?" Ashley asked Toby as she stood in the doorway. He motioned her to go away, and immediately, Ashley went upstairs and called Manny.
Toby got Emma sat down on the living room couch next to him. She cried and bawled then cried some more. In between sobs, she managed to say "sorry" over and over again. She couldn't believe how mean she was to Toby of that disgusting new kid. He rubbed her back gently as she started to tell him what happened. He was shocked and disgruntled in what happened. Still, he wasn't sure what he could do about it.
Luckily, Emma's mom didn't call Toby's while she was gone. But Emma knew she needed to go home. She wasn't sure what she was going to do, and Toby wasn't much help. But finally, he walked her home and she calmed down a little.
"Don't worry, Emma, things will work out some how."
"Thanks, but I've ruined just about everything. For you and me."
"How so?"
"I mean, I've gotten so mad at Manny, and haven't talked to JT in forever, and I refused you from talking to Manny, and I've been so mean and controlling. I can't believe you stuck through with me through everything."
"I guess that's what you do when you really like someone." He said softly. ((So what if it's cheesy? At least I didn't say "LOVE!"))
Emma bit her lip and opened her eyes wide. Toby's face turned red and he looked at the ground
"You really mean that?"
"Mmmhmm." He replied shyly. Emma looked at him and he looked back at her. ((Pretend that they're the same height.))
"Thank you." She said quietly. Toby moved closer to her and Emma closed her eyes and tilted her head. Their lips gently touched and they allowed their mouths to open a teeny bit. The kiss wasn't anything you'd see in movies but it was meaningful. When they pulled away they hugged each other again before they said their goodbyes.
**THE NEXT DAY**
Emma was on her way to her class, praying she wouldn't see Jared in the hallways. Instead, she ran into Manny. She had a look of pity on her face.
"Emma?" She asked, standing by her locker. "Can I talk to you?"
"I don't want to talk right now." Emma replied, not bitterly but like she was a little embarrassed.
"Lunch? Okay? In the bathroom."
Emma looked thankfully at Manny. She nodded and opened her locker. Manny smiled to herself. 'Maybe things are going to finally work out.'
First period in Mr. Simpson's class went smoothly, mostly because Jared wasn't there. The rest of the day went okay, but Toby was mostly obsessing over Emma. He'd constantly write notes to her and be late for his classes because he just HAD to walk her to class. Emma liked the special attention, though. Lunch was coming up and Manny wrote a short note to Craig to tell her were she was going to be. She walked into the bathroom and sure enough, Emma was there, leaning on one of the sinks.
"Hey" Manny said, looking down at her feet.
"Manny, I've been meaning to talk to you."
"If it's about me and Craig.I don't want to hear it."
"No, its not." She looked at Manny sorrowfully.
"I never meant to bring you down from anything.I let my emotions take control of me and I'm sorry."
"I know." Manny said.
"So friends?"
"Friends." Manny smiled and they laughed again like old times. Emma promised that she'd call Manny and tell her the whole story later. Soon, they went back to lunch. And even though things were okay between them, that doesn't mean that their friends were okay with it.
Manny ran up to her table
"Guess what, Craig?"
"What?" He looked up at her, for once. She sat down next to him.
"Emma and I made up!" Instead of Craig looking happy, he scowled.
"Why?"
"We were best friends, you know" Manny replied, puzzled.
"Emma?" Ashley chirped up.
"Yes." Manny said.
"There's no way in heck I'm going to hang out with her and my brother!" Manny sighed and tears welled up in her eyes.
'Why do things have to be so hard!' She buried her head in her arms. Just when everything seemed to be working out.
