Chapter 4: The Party
Emma arrives at Paige's house. She rings the bell.
"Who is it?" a voice asked.
"It's Emma!"
The person opened the door. It was Manny.
"I didn't know you were gonna be here!" Manny said, rolling her eyes.
"Well I'm here now, so move!" Emma said while pushing her way past Manny.
"Emma! Over here!" Paige screamed.
"You invited her?" Spinner asked.
"She's been through a lot; she needs a friend for now. Maybe when
everything is back to normal, I won't hang with her so much!"
"Whatever, but still. She's weird!"
"Hi Paige!" Emma yelled over the noise. "What's up?"
"What's up? Is that all you can say at a party? This is a party!" Paige
yelled.
"Um, okay! I'm gonna get something to eat, okay?"
"Sure!"
Emma walked into the kitchen. Ashley and Craig were there. Emma started to
walk out.
"Wait Emma!" said Craig.
"What do you want?" Emma said.
"We want to apologize, for everything!" Ashley said. "We're sorry about
Ellie and the rude things we said."
"Yeah, we didn't mean it," Craig said.
"It's okay, but Ellie will always hate me. I don't mind."
"You should Emma. No one deserves to be treated so badly," said Ashley.
"I guess you're right. I'm gonna use the bathroom. I'll be right back."
"Sure. See ya later," said Craig.
Emma started to feel guilty for what she was just about to do. I can't back
out now, Emma thought; my plan is just about to get in action.
Emma went upstairs to the bathroom. She took out a bottle from her purse.
She took out a pill. She took a deep breath, and then swallowed it. She
then went downstairs to the party.
"You've been gone for quite a while now, Emma! Where've you been?" Paige
asked.
"Never mind that, this is a party! I'm so happy!" Emma said loudly.
Paige gave her a weird look. "Wow, you sound a bit hyper! It's like you
went upstairs bored and came back down all perky!"
"Well, being boring gets you nowhere in life!"
Emma went to the center of the room and started dancing like crazy. People
were crowding around her because she was dancing so well. But they were
also shocked at how crazy she was acting!
Manny wanted to see what the commotion was all about. She saw Emma dancing
and everyone else screaming, "Go Emma! Go Emma!" She started to get
jealous.
"What is Emma doing? Since when can she dance?" Manny screamed angrily.
"Since when do you care?" JT asked. "Seems like you're feeling jelly!"
"I am not jealous! Why would I be jealous of Emma?"
"Because everyone is paying more attention to her than you!" JT screamed,
giggling.
"Forget you, JT!"
She made her way through the crowd and grabbed Emma's arm. She took her to
a corner of the room.
"Emma, since when can you dance?" Manny screamed.
"Why is that your business?" Emma asked.
"People don't care about you!"
"You're just jealous Manny! Because now people don't give a damn about you!
Now I'm gonna go back and par-tay!" Emma screamed loudly, tripping herself.
"Uhhhhhh!" Manny yelled in annoyance.
Ashley went upstairs to the bathroom. She found a bottle that read:
Ecstasy Pill
She ran downstairs and called Manny. They went outside.
"What's wrong Ashley? Calm down!" Manny yelled.
"Emma took ecstasy!"
"Ecstasy?"
"Yeah! Ecstasy! We have to get her out of there!"
"Let's go!"
Manny and Ashley ran back into the house. They turned off the music.
"This is my party! Why did you turn off the music?" Paige yelled, very mad.
"Emma, you need to go home right now!" Ashley screamed.
"Yeah Emma! Go home now!" Manny said.
"Why? I'm having a good time!" Emma yelled.
Manny sighed. "Emma took ecstasy!"
The whole crowd silenced. Emma was still jumping around like crazy.
"Emma, you need to go. They're right!" Paige yelled.
"But I'm really having--"
"JUST GET OUT, YOU DRUGGIE!"
Emma rolled her eyes. "Whatever! I'll find a better party!"
She ran out of the house.
"She can't be out there alone! I'm gonna go with her!" Manny started to run
after her.
Emma was running across the street. She didn't see the "don't walk" sign.
The next thing you know, a car crashed.
The whole party heard it. Manny, Ashley and Craig ran outside. The
ambulance came already. They saw Emma lying on the floor, unconscious.
"Emma! Emma! Please wake up! Please wake up!" Manny was sobbing
uncontrollably.
Manny had her cell. She called Emma's parents. The ambulance then left.
(Whoa! Emma took drugs and had an accident. Is she gonna be okay? Find out
in chapter 5!)
