Chapter 6: Break-Up
Sean walked out of his last period class. He went to his locker. He found a
note sticking out. He opened it and began to read.
Sean, meet me at the Smith Stone Park at 4 pm sharp. I think we need to
talk.
-Emma.
At least she still wants to talk about it, Sean thought, maybe she's not
mad after all.
Sean went home to change and shower. He then wore his best clothes and went
on his way to Smith Stone Park. He saw Emma sitting on a bench, waiting and
looking at her watch.
"Sean, over here." He heard Emma's voice. He walked over to the bench where
she was sitting.
"Hey Em, you wanted to talk?" Sean asked.
"Yeah, sit down."
"I know what you're gonna say. You're gonna apologize for yesterday."
"Me? I think you have some explaining to do as well."
"Okay, that's not why you called me here."
"Look, I called you here because we need to talk. About us."
"Yeah, I know. We've been having some troubles lately-
"Which is why I think we should take a little break."
"What!!!!!? Are you breaking up with me?"
"Yes, because you're starting to get really curious and really pissed off
at everything I do. And I'm sick of it." Emma was glad to get it all out.
"As if you don't get mad at me for little things, remember what happened
with Jay?"
"I know, but I changed. And now you're doing it to me."
"You're not breaking up with me because of this; it's not a good reason."
"But this is what annoys me the most about you."
"There's another guy, isn't there? You like someone else more than me. It's
Chris Sharpe, isn't it? Isn't it?" Sean asked, angrily.
"No! Of course not! Why do you think that? Even Manny thinks that!! What is
with everyone? Chris and I are two completely different people who could
never hook up! Maybe you just have trouble accepting the fact that I just
don't like you anymore. Period."
"So you're breaking up with me. Should've seen this coming."
"I'm sorry Sean, but that's just the way I feel. You'll live."
"Fine then, but don't take drugs again and expect me to feel bad for you."
"That was harsh. I'm not gonna take drugs again and even if I did, I don't
need pity from a self-centered wannabe like you."
"Whatever. You're just a stupid tree hugger."
Sean walked away. Emma was relieved.
She went home. As soon as she got home, she took out her journal.
Dear Journal,
I broke up with Sean today. I don't know if it was a good idea or
not, but that's just the way I felt. He is always jumping to conclusions
about everything and he thinks I have a crush on Chris Sharpe. In fact, I
don't feel bad about our break-up at all. I don't really miss Sean. I guess
I was tired of being with him and breaking up a gazillion times!
Sean said it was a stupid reason to break up with him and he thinks
it's because I like Chris Sharpe. That question still remains a mystery to
me, but I think I do have feelings for Chris Sharpe. He's smart, funny,
cool, a dj and he has a good sense of humor. I can talk to him about
personal things if I wanted to.
But Chris and Manny are still a thing, so I might as well just suck
it up.
-Emma
Manny and Chris decided to have a milkshake at the Dot and discuss new
plans. Manny was not as excited about it as Chris was.
"So I was thinking we could get Sean to cheat on her!!" Chris said.
Manny replied, "Yep."
"Or maybe we can get Emma to cheat on Sean!!"
"Yep."
"Manny, 'yep' is all you can say? What's going on? You're usually happy!"
"Nothing, keep your nose out of my business!"
"But we're friends and I care."
"I was telling Emma how jealous she is, and she just hurt my feelings!"
"How can a popular Latina chick like you be offended by a little thing that
Emma says? It doesn't make sense that you would get all teary-eyed over
that."
"She said: How can Chris be interested in a person who isn't smart? She has
some nerve to say that! I'm not dumb!!"
"That's what's wrong?" Chris asked. He started to laugh.
"It's not funny," Manny replied.
Sean entered the Dot and took a seat that was near Manny and Chris. He
looked angry.
"Yo Sean, what's wrong?" Chris asked.
"Yeah," Manny said. "You look really pissed."
"You wanna know what's wrong?" Sean replied. "Emma broke up with me!!"
"That's gotta hurt," said Manny.
"I know, life gets tough!" Chris said. "Can't let a girl put you down."
"But you're the cause of it Chris."
Manny and Chris looked at each other; they knew that the trouble had just
begun. Manny decided to leave because she didn't wanna get busted. Chris
and Sean were left alone.
"Excuse me?" Chris said. "How can you accuse me of that?"
"Emma thinks about you a lot. She doesn't know that I know this, but I see
her staring at you all the time in class."
"Well she's not interested in me. Believe me, I would know."
"Don't play games with me Sharpe; I know you're trying to steal her from
me. You better watch out."
"Watch out for what? Do you think I'm afraid of your little face?"
"You're saying that now, but wait till you see. If you lay a hand on her or
talk to her, I will bust your face."
Sean walked out, he was really angry now. Chris was angry too.
We'll see whose face will get busted, Chris thought.
Oh that boy better watch his little trap, Sean thought.
