Chapter 8: Gossip
Emma and Manny walked into school Monday morning.
"This is it; I'm going to have to face the rest of the school."
"Don't worry; I've got your back!"
They passed by Paige, Hazel, Jimmy and Spinner.
"Oh look, it's the loser and the druggie!" Paige screamed. "Better watch
out!"
"Paige, calm down. Emma might jump you, she must be on drugs right now!"
Spinner said. (That diss sucked, I know!)
Jimmy and Hazel started to crack up.
"She's the next Ashley!" Jimmy said. Ashley was right behind him.
He left with Paige, Spinner and Hazel.
"Don't worry about them, Em. Like I said, I've got your back!" Manny said,
giving Emma a pat on the back.
"Thanks Manny, that's nice."
The day went on and lunch arrived.
Emma, Manny, JT and Toby sat down. Sully approached their table.
"Manuella, since when do you sit with these losers again?" Sully asked.
"Since they are my friends. And my name is Manny!"
The whole table looked at her in shock. She just stood up to Sully.
"Whatever. I still got Cheryl." Sully walked away.
"Manny that was brave of you," Emma said.
"Thanks!"
"I couldn't have said it any better!"
"Well, well. If it isn't the druggie!" Emma turned around to see Jay and
his gang. Sean was with them, as usual.
"What do you want Jason dear?" Manny asked.
"It's Jay, you little geek!"
Manny had a hurt look on her face, but that didn't stop her.
"You got something to say to Emma, you can say it to me!"
"What? Is Emma chickening out?"
Jay and his friends started to laugh. Sean joined the laughter.
"It's okay Manny, I can talk. Why can't you just shut up? The 'druggie'
joke is getting really old. I heard that one like 2 years ago!" Emma said.
"That diss is getting pretty old too!" Jay said, laughing. "Just face it.
You're a druggie. Nobody wants a druggie at their party, messing up
everything and almost getting killed in a crash! I mean what kind of idiot
takes ecstasy? I don't know, YOU!!"
Jay and his friends were laughing hysterically. Sean wasn't this time.
"Yo, why don't you just leave her alone already? She never did anything to
you!" Sean screamed. Everyone stared at him in shock.
"Aw, little Seany is sticking up for his sweetie!" Jay said, laughing
harder and harder by the minute.
"No! I'm just saying that not everybody's perfect. Like I know someone who
broke a vending machine in the hallway a few weeks ago. You remember him,
right Jay?"
Jay shut his mouth immediately. He knew that person was him. (his friends
helped too, I know)
"You're just another geek, Cameron." Jay and his friends walked off. Sean
left too.
"Sean! Wait!!" Emma called after him. He was out of sight.
They went back to class. They were allowed to chat silently for a few
minutes.
"Manny, I can't believe what happened today. I just saw the old Sean
again."
"I know Em; he was sticking up for you. He still likes you. I knew it ever
since he dumped you. He was just trying to prove something to Jay."
"Who would have known that he would stick up for me even with Jay right
there?"
"Emma, when Jay was making fun of you, I saw Sean looking all pissed at
Jay. He knew he had to speak his mind."
"I'm so happy Sean did that! I have to talk to him after school!"
The day went by. The bell rang for dismissal. Emma and Manny left the
building.
"Tell me all about it later. Bye Em."
"Bye Manny. I'll tell you, I promise."
Emma saw Sean sitting on a bench. She walked over to him.
