It's lunchtime and Kendra, Toby, J.T., Manny and Emma are eating together
outside on this cool fall day. Sully comes by and smiles at Manny and sits
down next to her but she doesn't know why.
Sully: Don't be rude Manny say hi to your boo!
Manny: Hello J.T. Sully what are you doing here? We broke up remember?
Sully: No we didn't. That day you were fed up and upset. You're not crazy enough to break up with me.
Manny: Fed up with you but hear me now. We are over. Wait in order to be over we have had to have a real relationship so I guess what I am trying to say is well that we have nothing so go.
Sully: Whoa calm down woman. Is it that time of the month already?
J.T.: Shut-up Sully. Leave her alone or else I'll. I'll um.
Sully: You'll what run and tell your mommy. Please stop before you hurt yourself. You can have Manny she's no good for nothing, nothing but something good to look at. I mean that's why I dated her.
Then the unthinkable happened J.T. stood up and punched Sully in the nose and he began to bleed just before he fell down in front of everybody. He almost had tears in his eyes and was totally embarrassed. Manny and the others cheered on J.T. while laughing out loud. Then the principal came by because he saw the whole thing and looked furious. Mr. Raditch: Okay everybody be quiet or else I'm writing all you guys up. Sully, J.T. my office now! (He headed over to his office while Sully got up from his big fall.)
Sully: You're such a loser J.T.
J.T.: I'm not the one with the bloody nose.
Sully: I'm going to let it slide this time but just wait cuz your day will come. (He walked over to the office)
J.T.: Oh I have nothing to worry about. All he is, is just talk.
Manny: Thank you for sticking up for me. That was really cool of you.
J.T.: Anything for you. He's a jerk and I would like to see him fall any day.
Manny: Guess you better be leaving but I'll see you tonight.
J.T. smiled really big and just stood there for a few minutes and then waved good-bye. He walked away and looked back a couple of times to see if Manny was looking and she was. She couldn't believe that J.T. stood up for her like that but was very happy at the same time.
Emma: Wow J.T. is totally in love with you!
Manny: He is?
Emma: Ah hah come on don't tell me you don't notice it.
Manny: Well I guess I do but he's J.T. Emma: So?
Manny: I still don't know how I feel. I think I like him but I still have feelings for you know whom. (She said so Toby and Kendra wouldn't know whom she was talking about.)
Toby: Who are you talking about?
Manny: Somebody but I can't tell you. If you knew then somehow everybody else would find out and then there would be big trouble.
Kendra: Come on we won't tell anybody. I promise. You can trust me.
Emma: Guys stop asking. She is not going to tell you besides it's very personal but all I can say is that he is a jerk.
Manny: I must go dress out for P.E. I can't be late again. Want to come with me Emma?
Emma: Sure.
They both walked over to the gym but didn't dress out right away. Manny needed to get away before she said any more to Toby and Kendra. Her and Emma didn't talk very much until Paige came up to them. She walked besides Manny and smiled but a kind a smile that said she had something up her sleeve.
Paige: Hi Manny.
Manny: Hi Paige. What do you want?
Paige: Oh nothing just wanted to say hello and oh yeah I wanted to invite you to my party I'm having next weekend, but wait you might not want to come because Ashley and Craig are going to be there.
Manny froze in the middle of the hallway and began to sweat lightly. She wondered what Paige meant by that. Did she know? Did she know about her and Craig? That night at the Paige's party raced through her head. Emma and Paige stood there staring at Manny wondering if she was going to say something soon and then finally she spoke.
Manny: Sorry about that, just one of those ditzy moments. Now why would I care if Craig and Ashley were there?
Paige: Well don't you like Craig?
Manny: Me, Craig now why would you think of something crazy like that?
Emma: Paige can I come? (She said trying to change the subject and it took the pressure off Manny.)
Paige: Who? (Paige said pretending to not notice Emma standing there.) Oh hi Emma sure you can come! Now Manny what about.
Manny: We got to go to P.E. now right now!
Paige: Fine, but Hun you didn't tell me if you were coming.
Manny: Um I'll.I'll think about it. I'll get back to you whenever. (She never finished her sentence.)
Sully: Don't be rude Manny say hi to your boo!
Manny: Hello J.T. Sully what are you doing here? We broke up remember?
Sully: No we didn't. That day you were fed up and upset. You're not crazy enough to break up with me.
