Chapter 7: Popularity
"Hey Sully! It's me, Manny!"
"Hello Manuella."
"So what's up?"
"Nothing much. Except one thing!"
"What?"
"I think you sound better with Manuella. Manny makes you sound like a 3-
year-old! Manuella Santos, now that sounds exotic!"
"Exotic, I agree!"
"I'll see ya later Manuella!"
"See ya!"
JT walks past Manny. He ignores her.
"JT. I just wanted to let you know that I'm with Sully now. That's too bad
for you!"
JT starts to giggle.
"What's so funny?"
"What's so funny is it's so obvious that Sully is using you to make his ex-
girlfriend jealous! He just feels bad for you! And who wouldn't? You
actually think he wants you!"
"He does! You're the jealous one!"
"Why would I be jealous of some dumb jock who is using a pathetic immature
little girl!"
Manny has a hurt look on her face. "Yeah, well you're just a goofy, dirty
and rotten little boy with no life and no friends!"
"I have no friends? Look at you! Even Emma hates you now! I heard about
your little fight!"
"You and Emma are jealous because I'm popular now and everyone likes me! If
you can't accept that, then just go back to your girlfriend Toby!"
"Forget you!" JT walks off, giggling.
I hate JT, Manny thought. I hate Emma. They are jealous. Why would Sully
use me? He loves me, he really loves me!
(Manny is told that she's being used. Is that true? Find out in chapter 8!)
