Chapter 1: Unhappy
Things have been very hard for Emma lately. Manny dumped her for popular
people and Sean joined a gang. Now she has no friends but JT and Toby and
Liberty. Mr. Simpson has cancer so she is needed at home all the time and
she has a lot of homework.
She decides to go online and check her inbox. She receives an instant
message from Liberty. Smartygirl(Liberty) Sparklespaz(Emma)
Smartygirl: Hello Emma. How are you today?
Sparklespaz: Fine. Just tired. (That was a lie of course).
Smartygirl: What do you think of the Grapevine?
Sparklespaz: It's...it's.nice.
Smartygirl: You don't like it, right?
Sparklespaz: No. It's just that you run such a strict paper and maybe you
need to lighten up a little. You can be uptight sometimes, no offense.
Smartygirl: I'll show you uptight. (Liberty blocks Emma's handle).
Even Liberty hates me, Emma thought. At least she had JT and Toby and her
family. She receives an instant message from Craig.
OverXposed: Hello? Are you there?
Sparklespaz: Yep. It's Emma!
OverXposed: Oh sorry, I was looking for Ash.
Sparklespaz: That's so typical of you! Instant messaging me and trying to
trick me!
OverXposed: It's not that big a deal, Emma. I just thought your handle was
Ash's.
Sparklespaz: Everyone hates me today!
OverXposed: Well geez, don't take it out on me geek!
Sparklespaz: Wait! Craig?
He signed off. Emma really is losing her friends. First Manny, then Sean,
then Liberty and now Craig. She was just about to turn off her computer
when she saw her email pop-up. She checked her mail. It was from
smileygurl! Manny! She opened it.
Message:
Sorry Emma, but no one likes your stupid environment SITE thing! And what
was with that 'clean the ravine'? No wonder Sean dumped you! You're so
nerdy and the environment is all you think about! If you had supported me,
you would have been a little popular! Environmental Emma, which is a good
nick name! Ha ha!
From a popular person,
Manuella Marie Santos aka Sully's
Girl!
That is so mean! Manny is such a witch, Emma thought. I've tried the best I
can to ignore her, but she still keeps bothering me! I can't believe she
likes that idiot Sully! He's so sweaty and ugly! He's really dumb too; he
can't even spell his name!
I know that I'm a bit obsessed with the environment, but I never thought I
was that big a loser. According to Manny, crop tops are what make you
beautiful. But they're so inappropriate. Forget Manny. She'll realize what
a big mistake she is making. She'll run back to me for forgiveness when she
loses all her friends, and I will say "Excuse me, but if you don't mind, I
care more about the environment!" I'll push her out of the way and she will
run to the ladies' room in tears.
