Chapter 8
a/n: I can't stand seeing Manny angry for a long time, so I decided to soften her up. I may have a miserable love life, but I don't want my fictional character's to have miserable ones too.
After school was tense. Sean had offered to walk Emma home, and Emma excepted. What she didn't know was that Craig was walking with Sean, and she had invited Manny! She didn't want to hear a shouting fest. When the four met she thought Manny would start yelling, but instead she said nothing and started to walk.
Three minutes into the walk and still nobody had said anything. Manny was thinking about how annoying Craig was. Emma was thinking about the movie date she almost had with Sean. Sean was thinking about Emma and how beautiful she was, and Craig was thinking about how he could make everything up to Manny. " Well," Said Emma. " here's my house." " Yeah, there it is." Sean replied. Manny and Craig refused to speak. Emma grabbed Sean's hand and they walked a few steps away from Craig and Manny. " Make them speak." Emma commanded. " How can I? They're both really angry." Sean said. Emma didn't want Craig and Manny to break up. A day ago, she would have been tired of hearing Manny going on and on about Craig but right now she wished Manny would say something, anything.
Craig wanted to apologize, over and over to Manny, but he couldn't even get her to look at him. Manny could see Craig staring at her through the corner of her eye. She could tell he was upset because of her not speaking. Craig had to say something, anything just to hear her speak. " Manny?" He said softly. Manny turned her head to see Craig with a pleading look on his face. "Will you forgive me?" He said looking straight into her eyes. How could she stay angry at him? He was one on the nicest guys at DCS. "Maybe." She said smiling slightly.
Emma and Sean watched their best friends working out their troubles. Sean wanted to leap for joy. Of course, he would never tell anyone that he wanted to leap for joy. He just wasn't that type of guy. "I think they're going to stay together." Emma said smiling. Sean noticed a tear run down her cheek. "Why are you crying?" He asked. "It's just so...beautiful." Emma said between sobs. Sean put his arm around her. To Emma's surprise, it was comforting.
"Manny,'' Craig started trying to find the right words to express his sorrow. "I really didn't mean to kiss Lucky. It's just, I don't know. I can't make an excuse because it's inexcusable." Manny knew he was sorry, and she knew she would forgive him. "I know your sorry." Manny said looking down at the sidewalk. Emma nudged Sean to follow her into her house. "I think we should leave them alone." Emma said as she closed the door. "Alright."
Craig and Manny stood in silence. "It's sort of cold." Manny said. She was still looking at the sidewalk. "Yeah. We should go inside, if Emma hasn't locked us out." Craig said. Craig and Manny entered to find Emma and Sean sitting uncomfortably close. "So, it's Friday night." Craig said sitting down next to Sean. Sean and Emma shook their heads in unison."Why is he so close?" Emma wondered."Why am I so close?" Sean thought.
a/n: I know the words are sort of stupid 'Why is he so close?' 'Why am I so close' anyway...
Craig knew about Sean's plans to go to the movies. He knew Sean wanted to get closer to Emma. Why not move his best friends plan along? " Uh, Manny, lets got to the movies." Manny, who had been sitting next to Emma thinking about wedding dresses, snapped back to reality. "Movies? Yeah, I guess." Manny said. Everything was going to be fine now that she and Craig had worked things out. Craig grabbed his jacket and then grabbed Manny. " Now?" She said. " No, I thought we could do stuff first." "Stuff?" Manny questioned. "Come on." Criag said as he left with Manny beside him.
When they were outside of Emma's house Craig stopped. "What are you doing?" Manny asked. Craig smiled. "They helped us, and now I'm helping them." "How?" Manny asked still a little confused. "Sean and Emma are going to the movies with us. They'll be out in about a minute." He said matter-of-factly.
Sean and Emma sat in silence. Why had Craig and Manny left so quickly. "Their going to the movies I guess." Sean said. "Yeah."Emma replied. Sean thought for moment. The movies! This was his chance with Emma. Sean grabbed his denim jacket and threw Emma hers. "Hey, where are you going now?" Sean smiled and took Emma's hand. "We are going to the movies."
a/n: Now, you know this is not going to turn sugary sweet right? I have to put a twist into this story.I like it when my characters are happy, but who wants to read about happy people. The twist comes in chapters 9&10.
