Chapter 8: Pitied Love
It's lunch time and Manny can't find anyone to sit with. She couldn't sit
with Emma or JT; they're not her friends anymore. So she took a seat next
to Paige.
"Hun, I know you're on the squad, but that doesn't mean you can sit with
me!" Paige said.
"I know, but I can't find anyone else to sit with. So deal with me for at
least today."
"Why can't you sit with Emma or JT and Toby?"
"They're not my friends, and Toby is a geek!"
"You can sit with Sully."
"He's not here yet."
"Um, actually he is. But you might not want to look.
Manny turned around to see Sully give a kiss to his ex-girlfriend Cheryl.
She was about to cry, but she didn't want to act like a baby. She walked
over to Sully's table.
"Sully, what are you doing?"
Sully turned to Manny. "Nothing!"
"I thought I was your girlfriend! What are you doing with Cheryl?"
"The plan was to make Cheryl jealous. I did. She wanted me back. I was
gonna tell you sooner, but I felt bad for you. You're so young."
"I'm 14 for god's sake! I'm not a baby!"
"Sorry, but you're not good enough for me! But Cheryl is!" He kissed Cheryl
again.
"I hate you!" Manny slapped Sully and ran out of the room in tears.
The whole cafeteria stared at Sully. His face went red.
She came back to the cafeteria. Sully and Cheryl and his friends were all
gone. She went over to the table where Emma, JT, Toby and Liberty were
sitting at.
"Hey guys. I just wanted to tell you Sully was using me, so I guess we can
all be friends now, right?"
"Did you hear something?" JT asked.
"No, just the sound of Emma chewing her food JT."
"Emma?" Manny screamed.
"I'm sorry, did you say something Manny?" Emma asked.
"You can't ignore me forever! Toby! I didn't do anything to you!"
"Except call me a geek!" Toby yelled.
"I'm your friend. We usually forgive each other instantly!"
"Until now!" Emma screamed so loudly. The entire lunch room was looking at
her. "I refuse to be friends with someone who breaks people's hearts and
dumps people to impress people! Why don't you go play with doggy-dog?"
"Excuse me?"
"You remember Manny? The fluffy-fluff collection?"
The entire cafeteria started to crack up.
"I can't believe you broke that secret! I'm over it anyway! I felt that
after talking everything through and apologizing, we would be friends
again! But you're no better than Sully, Emma. My attitude was wrong, I
know. But can't you see that I'm letting go of that? Oh wait, you can't!
Just forget you, forget everyone!"
Manny stormed out of the room. She wasn't crying this time, but she was
angry.
"She has a point," said Liberty.
"I guess. I'll think about it," said Emma.
(Manny went into her "intelligence" mode. Will Emma apologize? Find out in
chapter 9!)
