Chapter 5
a/n: I thought I'd bring out the mean side of Manny. You never see her really angry, except in Wannabe, where she told Emma off!

" Craig!" Manny yelled, trying to get Craig's attention. Craig, who was too busy gazing at Lucky, realized someone was calling his name. He turned around to see a red face Manny. " Manny, hi." Craig said. " Who's your friend, honey?" Manny asked trying to control her temper. " New girl. Lucky. Manny, Lucky. Lucky, Manny." " Hi Manny." Lucky said. Lucky began to twirl her long blonde hair. " Is this your sister?" Lucky asked. The hallway grew silent. " Sister? No. Manny's my friend." Craig replied. " Friend?!" Manny said. " Oh, so i'm not your girlfriend anymore, i'm a friend?" Craig was trapped. Why didn't he just say girlfriend. " I_I meant..." " I know what you meant Craig Manning, if you just wanna be 'friends' say something now." Craig said nothing. He hated when Manny was in a bad mood. " Listen, Manny can we talk about this later?" Manny who didn't want to make a bigger scene shook her head. Craig kissed her on
the cheek and walked away. Lucky waved at Manny and looped arms with Craig.

" You were right, that wasn't pretty." Sean said to Emma as they were walking to English. " How could Craig be such a jerk?" Emma said. She was almost as angry as Manny. " Hey, guys make mistakes." Sean said and smiled. He was right. Guys do make mistakes, but Craig's was a major one. The bell rang just as Manny entered the classroom. She was still an abnormal color as she slid into a seat next to J.t. " Alright class, I'd like you to open your textbooks to page 288. Read up to page 293 and then answer the questions at the bottom." Ms. Kwan said. Most of the class did what they were told, except Manny. She had never been so hateful, so jealous. How dare this 'Lucky' girl flirt with Craig? Craig was hers, and hers only. She wasn't about to let some new niner steal Craig's heart.

Craig couldn't pay attention to Mr. Hennuis's math questions. He was too busy worrying. Yes, he had seen Manny angry, but never this angry. He hated seeing her like that. Craig was dating the sweet, loveable Manny, not that girl who was yelling in the hallway five minutes ago. " Mr. Manning? What does X equal." Mr. Hennuis asked. " Uh... 20%?" Craig said unsurely. " Craig, hon, we're on problem 7. Where have you been?" Paige asked. " Oh."

Emma watched Manny during English. She'd known Manny for like nine years and she'd never seen her act that way. She was scared. You never know what people will do when they're angry. Anger brings out the worst in people, even happy, nice people, like Manny.

Sean watched Emma, watching Manny. He was forgiven! Was that really wrong to not be worrying about Manny and Craig's relationship? Oh no! What if they break up?! That would mean no movie with Emma. Sean couldn't let that happen. He started thinking up a plan to keep Craig and Manny as long as possible. Or at least until after the movie.
