Chapter 8: Choices
Chris, Emma and Manny were sitting with JT and Toby in language arts with
Ms. Kwan.
"Chris, we heard about you and Sean. Are you gonna fight him?"JT asked.
"Yeah, we think you should. Sean is one messed up fool!" said Toby.
"Hell ya, why shouldn't I?" Chris responded. "If Sean wants beef, he'll get
it!"
"Now that's what I'm talking about!!" screamed JT. Chris and JT did a hand
shake thing.
"Go Chris!" said Toby.
"Please don't fight him," said Emma. "You have no idea what you're getting
into."
"I have to agree with her," replied Manny. "You don't wanna get on Sean's
wild side."
"Let's not even mention last year, Manny."
"Emma, I'll be fine. Do you really think I can't beat up Sean?" Chris
responded.
"But what if he hurts you badly?"
"There's no chance of that! Sean thinks he's so tough and strong, but it's
mad obvious he's not."
"What if you get suspended?"
"It's after school, damnit!! You keep thinking the worst!! Stop worrying
and stop controlling me!! I can take care of myself!!"
Everyone was looking at Chris. Emma had a hurt look on her face.
She softened her voice.
"Sorry, it's your decision. Just be careful."
"Yeah, I will. I promise." He hugged Emma.
The day went on. Sean was wishing that the day would end already so he
could deal with Chris. Chris was really confident and cool about it. He
thought he could bust Sean in a matter of 10 seconds.
Lunch time came. Manny, Toby, JT, Liberty, and Chris sat down together at a
table.
"Chris, you are acting very immature," said Liberty. "If you get suspended,
it will appear on your records."
"Liberty, I don't care. I'm gonna beat him up!!" replied Chris.
"You're going to fight over Emma? She's cool, but it's not that big a deal.
You've got her now so the war should be over."
"But Sean is jealous and he wants to fight me. I'm not a chicken like you
Liberty. I like to take challenges in life."
"I do take challenges. I stand up for my rights and beliefs and I follow my
conscience and instincts. Whereas you're taking a challenge over a girl."
"She does have a point," said Manny. "This is all too silly."
"Manny, stay out of this! It's between me and Sean!"
"Chris, Emma is my best friend! This is my business! You don't even realize
how upset Emma is about this!!"
"No, she's okay with this. That's what she said before."
"She lied. She doesn't like this. She's warning you. Sean is really tough
to handle. Once the fight starts, it won't stop. You have to make a choice.
One that will affect you and Emma. Don't make the wrong one."
"You want me to make a choice? I choose to fight him! I love Emma, but if
Sean wants to fight, I will!!"
Chris walks away. She does have a point, Chris thought, but I can't back
down now.
"Manny, you're so stupid!" said JT. "Let him fight!!"
"Yeah, he'll do anything to have his girl!!" said Toby.
"You guys are so immature! Why can't Sean just move on?" Manny asked.
"Because guys will do anything to keep their girl," JT replied.
"Whatever. Chris is gonna get hurt and I know it."
Note: Please review!!! The next chapter is the ultimate one!! Sean and
Chris' fight will happen, but Chris learns that he made the wrong choice...
