Manny didn't get a call last night, not from anyone. She felt like she was
tricked and abandoned even though she wasn't.
----- WEDNESDAY -----
Manny walks down the halls keeping to herself keeping everything bottled in. When Emma arrives happier then before.
"Did you hear!?" Emma says grandly. Manny looks at Emma feel slightly uncomfortable.
"N-no," Manny stutters. She stops Manny with a wild smile.
"Me and Sean are back together!" Emma giggles. Manny looks at Emma surprised trying to get the words out. She manages to laugh a little catching her breathe.
"Manny, aren't you happy?" Emma says. Manny moves her lips but the words can't come out.
"Yeah"
"Ugh, are you still mad about the other day? Get over it! I thought you'd be happy for me," Emma says simply.
"Sorry I didn't get a lot of sleep last night I'm just sort of driving slow th-this morning," Manny says still in shock. Emma looks over Manny's shoulder.
"I'll talk to you later in Simpson's," Emma says walking over to Toby and J.T. Manny looks over and starts walking to homeroom.
------ IN CLASS -----
Manny is the first one in. She stares at the table thinking about what she needs to. Ms. Kwan suddenly walks over to her.
"You can write in your journal since your early, I'm going to write the assignment on the board," Ms. Kwan says. Manny nods and takes out her journal she writes:
Dear Journal,
Instead of a entry this is more of my feelings inserted in a poem, here it is:
He sees me in a way I didn't know
In a way I cant explain
You wouldn't believe the night
I went through in vain
Mad at myself
I can't believe this risk
I can't believe I went through with it
My first and stupid kiss
I haven't told Emma
The things that I say
Because I know it would hurt her
What am I to say?
The words I try to speak
But they never do come out
It's like a never-ending teacup
Without a pouring spout
I have to tell her sometime
This won't last forever
It might hurt us both
But more honesty the better.
Manny closes her journal and looks up to find half of the seats filled while more students pour into the room. Emma and Sean walk in together. Manny quickly puts her eyes to the table ignoring the two as they walk by. Sean glances at Manny but Manny doesn't respond. Emma sites beside Manny and Sean sits beside Emma.
"Hey, I can't wait till this week ends!" Emma comments. Manny bites her lip. "O---okay?" Emma says narrows her eyebrows. "Hello? Manny"
"Oh, sorry"
----- LUNCH TIME -----
Manny sits next to J.T. and Toby (like always).
"J.T. make me feel better," Manny jokes. J.T. looks at Toby taking the joke seriously. He hurries in and gives Manny a romantic kiss. Manny responds by giving one back. Many people around started to watch. They all smiled and cheered. J.T. pulled away looking into Manny's eyes smiling, Manny blinked and smiled speechless. Sean walks to the table.
"What's going on? What is everyone yelling about?" Sean asks. Manny stays shocked not able to talk J.T. looks up at Sean.
"Nothing," J.T. laughs. Sean notices what happened. Manny tunes out everything that happens until Sean speaks.
"What did I tell you?" Sean said firmly. Manny turned to him.
"Sean, what did you say? Your not J.T.'s boss and your not entitled to ruin my life!" Manny yelled. Sean turned red.
"Manny how could you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Kiss him! After what we had!" Sean says getting emotional. Manny turned to J.T. who looked deep into Manny's eyes worried, looking like he was going to cry. By now everyone was watching.
"What are you talking about?" Manny asked.
"Don't deny it Manny!" Sean said annoyed, "We kissed! We kissed do I need to repeat it?" Manny heard a tray drop and looked over to see Emma with her jaw to the floor. She then looked at Sean. Emma stormed out of the cafeteria. Manny looked at J.T. who shaked his head.
"J.T. don-" "You kissed him?" Manny's lips move once again but no words. J.T. sucked in his tears and walked away. Manny looked up at Sean. "Look, Manny" Manny quickly stormed past Sean and headed towards Emma. Manny spotted Emma and yelled her name.
"Emma! Emma please wait!" Manny yelled. Emma ran into the girl's washroom when Manny followed. Emma ran into a stall and quickly locked the door.
"Emma please can we talk?"
"Manny go away!" Emma sobbed.
"Emma he kissed me I should have told you I didn't now how to say it"
"Did you kiss back?"
"What?"
"Did you, kiss back?"
"Em, I didn't know what else to do I-I"
"Manny how could you do that!"
"I don't know Emma I don't know," Manny said starting to cry. She slid down the wall holding her face in her hands. Emma came out of the stall and looked at Manny.
"He meant so much, and you took a knife and drove it in my back," Emma sniffled.
"I'm sorry okay I am so sorry I would do anything to take it back anything I swear!"
"But you can't." Manny started crying harder and harder when each word came through. Emma slid down the wall and sat next to Manny.
"What you did was wrong this will take time to heal but now I need to say that Sean is a boy not worth loosing a great friendship" Emma said wiping the tears away. Manny looked up at Emma.
"Emma I swear I don't want to hurt you," Manny said hugging Emma. They sat there hugging each other crying and rocking.
"Emma, I promise friends first"
"Yeah"
