Chapter 3 What Did She Mean By That?
Manny grabbed Emma by the arm and then they went into the gym. Gosh, Manny knew she just made it pretty obvious that she liked Craig. She couldn't believe she just froze like a complete idiot in front of the Gossip Queen. Oh she knew there would be a lot of gossip about her pretty soon or maybe already. They are now in the girls' locker room. Manny: What was that about?
Emma: I don't know but do you think she knows about the whole fling between you and Craig oh I mean you know who? (She said while blinking her eye.)
Manny: Probably but how?
Emma: Well may I just remind you that she is a friend of Ashley and Craig? Craig obviously didn't tell Paige so it was probably Ashley.
Manny: This is just horrible. I don't need rumors about me being spread around school especially since me and J.T. are going out. What would he think about me if he found out about Craig and me?
Emma: He would probably still be in love with you. I don't even know the whole story between you and Craig!
Emma said because the truth was she didn't know what really happened. All Manny told her was that her and Craig spent the night together but that didn't sound all that great. Manny said that they just kissed but was that really all that happened? Emma hoped that was all that happened or else her friendship with Manny might change.
Manny: I didn't? (Her voice changed.) Emma believe me you are one of my best friends but I just can't tell you the whole story.
Emma: Okay but will you tell me one day?
Manny: Maybe Emma . maybe someday.
After school Manny went to cheer practice and rushed home. She had to hurry and get ready because J.T. was going to be at her house to pick her up around 7:00. She took a quick warm shower and walked into her walk in closet. There were so many clothes but she didn't know what to wear.
Manny: No this pink shirt is too pink and this dress makes me look fat. Why can't I find anything to wear?
She tried on a few pair of hip huggers and skirts and finally found something to wear. It was the perfect outfit, these black low riders with a purple halter-top that had a beaded butterfly on it. It came just above her belly.
*At Craig's place*
Joey: Are you taking out Ashley tonight?
Craig: Yeah sure am. (He said while looking for his wallet.)
Joey: Back together again. Craig: Ah hah together again.
He didn't know where Joey was going with this and then Angie came into the room with a board game.
Angie: Craig, want to play with me?
Craig: Sorry I can't. I have to go pick up Ashley.
Angie: Oh your girlfriend. (She giggled.) Say I said hi okay.
Craig: Okay I will. Got to go now!
Joey: Be back before 12:00!
Craig: I will. (He said and left and hurried over to Ashley's because he only had 10 minutes to get there and he didn't want to be late.)
*Back to Manny's house*
The doorbell rang but Manny waited until her mom answered it. She didn't want to seem too desperate on the first date. She put a jacket on so her mom and dad wouldn't notice how she was dressed. Her dad would get mad and make her change immediately.
Mom: Manny your date is here!!!
Manny came downstairs and said bye to her mother and father. As soon as she got outside she took off the jacket and revealed her hot out fit.
Manny: Finally I can take off this jacket. You look handsome.
J.T.: Thank you but it is nothing compared to you. Wow you look great. Manny blushed.
Manny: Thanks so what movie are we going to see?
J.T.: I don't know, some kind of comedy unless you want to see something different.
Manny: Yeah that sounds good but how about a romantic comedy. I love, love stories with happy endings.
J.T.: Uh (He said as he searched for the right words to say no but he couldn't say no to the love of his life. Manny smiled at him.)
Manny: Please J.T. for me.
J.T.: Okay but don't tell Toby or the others that I saw a chick flick. Manny: Hey now why would I do that?
*Ashley's house*
Craig: Hey babe you look beautiful.
Ashley: Thanks you don't look half bad yourself!
Craig: Hey but you're right. Come on the movie starts in .(He said and looked at his watch.) In ten minutes!
Ashley: Then what are you waiting for. (She said and began to run even though she was wearing high heels.)
Craig: Slow down.too fast.
Ashley: Okay I'll slow down. (And then Craig ran ahead of her.)
Craig: See you there!
Ashley: Craig!
Craig: Ashley!
