Chapter 6: New Look Getting To Your Head
Lunch was over and everyone went back to their homerooms. Mr. Simpson let
them take a break and chat with their friends. Manny walks in late.
"Manny, you are 5 minutes late!" Mr. Simpson says.
"Big deal, 5 minutes!" Manny says with an attitude.
"I'm gonna let this pass, but I think it's about time you lose the
attitude."
"Fine, fine. Whatever."
Manny takes a seat next to Emma. The bell rings. Emma and Manny are walking
to their next class. Emma was upset about what Manny did to JT, she had to
say something.
"Manny, how could you do that to JT?"
"Do what?"
"You totally broke his heart and made him miserable! You should apologize!"
"I already tried, Em. I'm not trying again!"
"Look at your clothes!
"I'm dressing--"
"You're dressing like an idiot! And what worries me the most is your
attitude."
"Really? Cuz it seems like you're jealous!"
"I'm just concerned--"
"Because people are paying attention to me and not you! I've always been
there for you Emma. When you and Sean fight; when your mom's pregnant, and
your stupid environmental club!"
"It's not stupid!"
"Well, that's what me and the rest of the school thinks!"
"You know what? Just forget this!"
"Yeah, forget this! This is the new me! If you don't like it, then don't
talk to me!"
"Whatever!"
(Whoa, Manny just lost two of her friends. Is she willing to make up or
ride high with her popularity? Find out in chapter 7!)
