-Chapter Twenty Three-
Things were great when Christie was back at school on the first day that she and Craig were officially a couple again. Instead of the looks she had gotten used to getting, there were smiles, and congratulations. Everyone was happy that the two of them were back together and no one was hesitant to tell either one of them.
Christie went to talk to Emma @ her locker and Manny was with her. Christie greeted Manny with a big hug.
"We've been totally missing you chica. How's your grandfather?"
"He's better, thanks. He'll be coming up here to stay with us so we don't have to go back to New Mexico and take care of him if anything ever happens again." Replied Manny.
"Aww look, the gang's back together!" said Emma with a laugh as she pointed down the hall.
Sean, Craig and Jimmy were walking down the hall towards them laughing.
"So then the duck comes into the store and asks the clerk if they have any nails. The clerk says no, and so the duck says okay, you got any crackers??" said Sean.
Craig and Jimmy looked like they were about to cry they were laughing so hard, Emma and Christie looked at each other and started cracking up themselves. Manny just shook her head, she didn't really WANT to know what was going on.
"Jimmy I can't believe you let him tell that joke again," cried Emma as the boys were still howling with laughter.
Sean walked over and kissed Emma. "What girlfriend here doesn't like my jokes?" Emma shook her head 'no' and Sean made a pretend 'oh no you didn't' face.
Christie stood next to Craig as he put his arm around her. She let herself lean on him and told him how happy she was that everything was back to normal with Sean. The bell rang to go to their classes and Christie headed off with Jimmy to the one class Craig wasn't in, telling him that she would see him later.
When Christie approached her locker that afternoon she was surprised to see no one there waiting for her. She opened her locker to find a single red rose sitting inside, and hung on the inside of the door was a huge note saying...
"Will you make my dreams come true and accompany me to our Junior Prom?"
Love, The Infamous Craig
As if on cue, when she finished reading Craig stepped out of a door way holding another rose, this one, pink. Christie ran over to Craig and hugged him, she pulled away and kissed him like she always used to for the first time since they had gotten back together.
"Of course I'll go with you," she said. Then Emma, Sean, Jimmy and Manny came out of that same classroom, applauding.
Christie laughed," You guys are too much."
She walked over to her locker and pulled something out, handing it to Craig. It was the photo album he had thrown all over the hallway, the one she had given him for Christmas. All the pictures were back inside, just as they were supposed to be.
"I took it, and put it back together that night. I was hoping someday you would want it back."
Craig nodded," I do want it back."
