Author's Note: Okay, I had so much homework these past weeks, and well, now I have some spare time, so yeah, here's my belated chapter…
Craig fell in a collapsed heap on the ground, clutching his arm. "Emma, I don't see the point in this. I mean, you could have killed me, b-but you didn't." He hadn't looked at her since he watched her pull the trigger, and he wasn't planning on looking at her now. He looked down at his arm and noticed that the bullet went right past his right arm, just skimming the skin, and he was bleeding a little bit on his arm and on his lower lip.
Emma looked down at Craig as her face went white. Ghostly white.
"Emma, I won't tell anyone that you did this, you can trust me on that."
She nodded slowly. "It's not that Craig, it's not… But…But…" Emma walked over to Craig and kneeled right next to him. "I just love you so much, and it hurts so bad to see you with someone else."
He nodded. "Emma, I know. I can mask the blood. Besides, this is a red sweater I'm wearing. Joey will never know." He placed his cold hand on Emma's cheek.
She placed her hand on his and they sat like that for awhile. Then, out of a rage of fury, she grabbed the gun and threw it as far as she could, and watched it as it sailed way behind the school and into the woods. "Craig, I think I'm going to start over, and that means making a good start with you, and making sweet passionate love to you this time, not Toby."
Craig rubbed the blood he had on his lips on his hand and kissed Emma passionately on the lips.
Emma pulled away for a second and said ,"First kisses shouldn't taste like blood."
Craig looked at her. "Sorry Emma, but I didn't think this was your first kiss. I thought Sean was."
She smiled. "Who is Sean Craig? I know a Spinner and a Toby and a Marco, but no Sean." She began to slowly remove her t-shirt, revealing a flat stomach along with her white padded bra, which made the image that she had much bigger breasts then expected.
Craig yearned to touch them, to feel them, to free them from that uncomfortable bra, but she pulled away.
"Craig, I would like it if you removed your shirt first, before we get caught."
He looked around and saw not a single soul around. "Emma, there isn't a single person around here."
"No Craig, I was talking about Manny, you wouldn't want to get caught by her."
Craig gave Emma a weird look, and she kissed him again, and then suddenly, Craig started hearing people calling his name...
Reality:
Craig woke up to a horrible agonizing pain in his right arm. He looked around and realized he was in a hospital, and that Joey, Angela, Sean, Emma and Mr. Manning were staring down at him. Craig glared at his father, but when he saw Emma, he thought back to his dream and smiled. Maybe he would go out with her.
"Craig!!!" Emma exclaimed. "You're alive!!!"
Craig nodded. He would never tell a soul that Emma shot him, he would just say that it was a shot from an unknown source.
Mr. Manning looked down at his son and was glad that it wasn't another one of the injuries that he had given Craig. "Son, you feeling okay?"
Craig nodded as he sat up. "What happened?"
Emma sighed as she confirmed her lie. "Craig, we were talking, and then suddenly I saw this thing rush by me and then you're on the ground clutching your arm."
Joey nodded. "Emma called 911, and then she called me."
Craig grabbed Emma's hand, and could have sworn that he saw a glare of jealousy from Sean. "Thank you Emma, for saving me."
She nodded. "Craig, I'm just glad that you're okay."
He smiled. "So, how long have I been out for?"
Emma looked down at her watch. "About an hour. You were out cold when you got hit."
Craig cleared his throat. "So, when can I go home?"
Mr. Manning looked at Craig's Chart and came to one conclusion. "Now if you wish. Just keep your arm in that bandage. You just have to be back in 6 days so I can remove your stitches."
Craig nodded as he climbed out of bed and grabbed the new clothes Joey had picked out from Craig's closet. Before he got changed, he turned to his dad and said ,"Thanks."
His dad nodded and Craig was gone.
Author's Note: What? Thought I'd kill Craig off? Thought Emma would have perfect aim? Not. Hahaha I am so cruel. Anyways, review and I have a 5 day weekend coming up, so updating will be quicker, I promise. Review!!!
