Author's Note: I actually have a break from studying, so I thought I'd update this story. Enjoy!!!
Emma ran out of the school just in time to see Craig exit from the side doors. "Craig!!!" she yelled as she ran over to him.
"Emma, hey. What's up?" he asked calmly. "You look distressed."
She nodded. "Well, I guess you could say I am."
"So what's up?" he asked again. "Oh, and you have to baby-sit for us tonight. You don't mind , do you? Like, I'll be there, but Joey thinks I'm at Sean's, so we could, you know, hang out."
Emma smiled. "Yeah, of course Craig. But why don't you want to hang out with Sean?"
Craig smiled. "He got me drinking beer at the party."
Emma's mouth dropped open. "You were drinking???"
Craig nodded. "I had a hangover on Sunday morning."
Emma nodded. "Yeah, so I guess I'll see you tonight then?"
Craig smiled. "You know it. Just come at seven, okay?" He placed his hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry about snacks or anything, we have it all at my place."
"I know," Emma said, in a daze. She was feeling weak in the knees just because he had touched her.
"Well, I got to go run home. Bye!" He then ran off.
Emma froze. She was too love-struck to move.
Toby got home and started making a grilled cheese sandwich. He grabbed a random salt shaker and checked the label to make sure that he had the right salt (refer to my story Toby and the Sandwich to find out more about this *salt*). He had a stressful day, and all he wanted to do was relax. He figured he'd call Kendra and ask her to come over, but then again, he wished he could invite Emma over. He felt kind of guilty in a way about what he almost did to her, but yet, he was glad he got to kiss her. He loved the feel of her lips, and she was so light, so agile, he couldn't help but try to go further. Why did Craig have to interrupt them when they were originally in the spare bedroom? He didn't like being interrupted, and that forced him to move to his room. It angered him.
Suddenly, the phone rang. Toby picked up the phone.
"Hi."
"Hey." The voice was Kendra.
"Baby, how are you?"
"Good. Toby, do you still have that How to Draw Anime CD-ROM?"
Toby paused. He couldn't remember where he put it last. Well, he did, but still. "Kendra, want to come over and help me look for it?"
"Toby, I swear, sometimes, you make me so mad! I'm going to go now and let you look for it yourself!" She paused for a second, then said cheerily, "Call me when you find it. Bye sweetie!" She then hung up.
Toby put the phone back on the charger and went to grab his grilled cheese sandwich. He opened the cabinet above the stove and stared at the CD-ROM. He didn't want to give it back, it was the only reason that Kendra was still calling him. Even though she acted lovey-dovey with him at school, she was totally different when they were alone. She was shy and didn't want go any further then a kiss. It pissed him off, cause he wanted to go further, but if he pushed her too hard, she would sic Spinner after him, and he didn't want that. He pulled the CD out of the cabinet and figured he might as well give Kendra a call.
At seven, Emma ran over to Craig's house, and right when she got there, she saw Joey and Angela leaving the house. She saw Craig come out of the house and she ran over to him.
"Craig, where is Joey and Angela going?"
Craig laughed. "Joey is taking her to the tiger show at the zoo. The house is ours."
Emma smiled. "So, its just the two of us?"
Craig nodded as he opened the door and let Emma inside. "So, do you want to watch a movie or something?"
Emma nodded. "Do you have A Walk to Remember?"
Craig ran to his DVD collection and pulled that movie out. "Yep. You want to watch it?"
"Yes," Emma replied. She jumped on the couch and smiled as she watched Craig put the movie in and jumped on the couch next to her.
They watched the movie in silence, and when Mandy Moore sang Only Hope, Emma leaned on Craig's shoulder. He didn't seem to notice for awhile, but when he did, he slid his arm around her shoulders. They sat like that for pretty well most of the movie, and near the ending, Emma and Craig looked each other in the eyes and they shared one tender kiss. It was magical.
When they pulled apart, Craig quickly removed his arm from around Emma's shoulders.
"What's wrong?" Emma asked.
"Emma…I just cheated on Manny."
"Wait…You guys were going out again?"
"Yeah, of course. Didn't Manny tell you???" Craig pulled the movie out of the DVD player and sighed.
"Actually, Manny and I kind of got into a fight. And well, I kind of broke things off with Sean, again."
Craig turned to her and sighed again. "I guess we really messed things up Emma, didn't we?"
