"Manny, I don't care if I miss the test, I'll just take a make-up,"
Emma reasoned as she spun her lock to the correct numbers. She flung the
door open prepared to exchange books to take home for that night's
homework. A wave of flyers entitled "Protect our City's Oldest and Tallest
Tree, Aunt Susan" rushed out of her locker and on the floor of the Degrassi
hallway. Emma cursed under her breath and dove down to pick them all up.
"I'm sorry, Emma, but I don't see what the big deal is about this tree."
Emma just glared up at her half in shock, half in anger. "It's our...city's.oldest.and.tallest.tree," she said pointing to ever word on the flyer as she said it.
"So," Manny returned simply. "I just don't see the big deal. Have you ever even seen the tree?" Emma pointed to a picture of the tree. "In person?"
Emma started to collected flyers in order to stall to come up with a reply. Manny began pulling her stuff from her locker and putting it in her backpack. Emma stopped about halfway. "It the principle behind the matter, Manny."
Not wanting to waste any more energy on the argument, Manny let it drop and finished piling things in her bag.
"I wonder how many people wills show up tomorrow. Do you think anyone fro De...." Emma was cut off a scream.
Everyone in the hall turned just in time to see Ellie hit the ground. She had slipped on one of Emma's flyers.
"Ohmigosh, I am so, so, so, so sorry." Emma went rambling on into an apology not noticing that Ellie wasn't even paying attention. Her interest seemed to be captured by the flyer. "Huh.What.Oh yah sure, I'm okay."
"You're Emma, right?" Emma nodded. "I've seen you around school. So are you going to this," Ellie motioned towards the paper.
Emma nodded clearly still humiliated. "Then I'll see you there." Ellie handed Emma the flyer, as well as few more she had picked up, and walked off.
