Chapter 4 A Little Conversation
Wednesday morning Emma woke up early and got ready for another fantastic day as the new Emma Nelson. Today she chose to wear some tight jean hip huggers without the thong and a flowered halter-top. Another success. She snuck downstairs trying to be quiet so her mother wouldn't notice her but she did just as she was about to open the door. Luckily she was wearing a jacket so her mom wouldn't notice what she was wearing.
Spike: Emma you must be in a hurry.
Emma: I was until you stopped me.
Spike: woo you're moody too. You better stop that attitude of yours.
Emma: Sorry but I didn't get that much sleep.
Spike: It must be cold out there? (She said noticing her jacket.)
Emma: Yeah it pretty chilly out there.
Spike: Better safe than sorry. You wouldn't want to get sick.
Emma: Nope, now mom can I please go?
Spike In a minute. I just wanted to let you know that Snake is taking the day off.
Emma: He is? Is he feeling sick?
Spike: He could be better and just needs a day to rest.
Emma: I guess that Chemotherapy is taking a lot out of him.
Spike: It is but he will get better. It just might take a while but we'll be here for him. Remember he needs all the comfort he can get.
Emma: I haven't forgotten. Once you see him can you tell him I will miss him today at school?
Spike: I will. He'll like that.
Emma: Buy mom and Jack. Love you both.
Spike: And we love you. Have a good day!
Emma: Oh I will.
Emma met up with Manny and J.T. at school and then she Sean coming up to them from the corner of her eye and wondered if this could be happening or was she imaging it. Then some body tapped her on the shoulder. She bit her lip and turned around.
Sean: Hi I just wanted to say . . .
Emma: You just wanted to say what?
Sean: Can we talk alone? (He said while looking at Manny and J.T.)
Manny: Oh J.T. and me have to go to that thing we have to go to anyways. Remember, J.T.?
J.T.: No I don't remember anything. Come on this is just getting good!
Manny: Don't be silly. We have to go meet that person at that place somewhere besides here.
J.T.: What?
Manny: Just come with me now. (Then they left in a hurry.)
Sean: Good they're gone. This is kind of embarrassing but I've been thinking about you constantly ever since that day,
Emma: That day you blew me off.
Sean: Yeah but hear me out. I'm really sorry about that. I'm so sorry for,
Emma: Sorry for pretending like you wanted nothing to do with me, sorry for being so shallow sorry for. . .
Sean: Woo slow down. I know I was acting stupidly. I said I was sorry. It was so wrong of me to treat you like that. I should have been reasonable and stood up for you and not just let you walk away. Emma I've missed you.
Emma: I have too and I'm glad you realized you were wrong but I'm not going to be able to forget.
Sean: Would you at least be willing to forgive me?
Emma: Okay I'll forgive you so where do we go from here?
Sean: I was hoping we could become a couple again.
Emma: I don't know. I don't want to get a hurt again.
Sean: I won't disappoint you. I promise.
Emma: Okay I believe you so I guess we are a couple now.
Sean: Yeah I guess we are so lets act like one.
He said while grabbing her hand and she smiled at him and they walked into the school as a couple again but this time it was going to last. Well that is what they hoped and then they spotted Paige and she saw them together and went up to them with Spinner.
Paige: So I assume that this is that special guy you are taking to my party on Saturday.
Emma: Yep it is.
Spinner: Way to go Sean.
Sean: Emma what is this party that we are supposedly going to?
Emma: I didn't tell you. Well will you with me to Paige's party?
Sean: Sure I'll go.
Paige: Okay this is great and Emma can't wait to see what you're going to wear but don't get discouraged if mine is better.
Emma: Don't be too sure about that.
Paige: Oh Hun how cute.
Emma: I'm not cute.
Spinner: Woo girls, girls we don't want to fight. We're friends.
Paige: Yeah honey I guess you are right.
Paige, Spinner, Craig, Ashley, Jimmy, and Hazel were at lunch together talking about school and Paige's big party on Saturday night.
Craig: So is this band that's playing at your party?
Paige: They're called the Falling Bridge. I've never actually heard them play but Dylan said they're pretty good. He knows about all the greatest music so I left the deciding to him.
Spinner: Sounds promising.
Paige: Stop being so sarcastic.
Jimmy: You could've just let us play at your party. We need a gig fast.
Paige: Sorry, but this is supposed to be the biggest party of the year and I could never take such a risk.
Spinner: Hey, are you saying we're bad. Paige: No, I'm just saying you're not good but not exactly. . .
Hazel: Ready! Paige do you need any help decorating for your party because I'll be glad to help out.
Paige: That would be so nice of you and I have the perfect decorations. Strings of lights, streamers and all that kind of stuff. It's going to look cool. Ashley you can also come and help out.
Ashley: I'll be there. Want me to bring anything?
Paige: No, just Craig.
Meanwhile, Emma, Sean, Manny, J.T., Toby and Kendra were also eating lunch together but talking about Sean and Emma.
Manny: It's nice to see the two of you together again. So how did it happen?
Emma: Does that really matter? I mean don't pretend you were all sneaky because I saw the two of you watching us from inside school.
Manny: That wasn't us. You must have been seeing things.
Emma: Ah hah, right.
Manny: Okay it was us but I just needed to know right away.
J.T.: Sean, what about all your other friends.
Sean: them or those guys they don't exactly know about Emma and me.
J.T.: Oh!
Emma: Sean, how couldn't you tell them?
Sean: It never came up in conversation.
Emma: But how could you not tell them? I mean don't you like me.
Sean: Of course do and that's why I asked you out. I'll tell them when ever I get the chance to.
Emma: Well I hope it is soon.
Sean: It might be.
Emma: Sorry for coming on all strong like this but I just think that we should be able to honest with each other and I thought that meant other people too.
Sean: I know but they just aren't really all that supporting like you guys.
Emma: Then don't be friends with them.
Sean: I thought we already went over this.
Manny: People, people let's not get into this fight all over again. It happened before and didn't end well so just drop it. You're a happy couple again.
Emma: Yeah it was kind of silly of me to get all controlling. You should tell them when you feel like it.
Sean: No you're right.
And then he kissed her and she kissed him back. She missed that and so did he. Sean was glad that the conversation was over between them about Jason and the others. He still wanted to hang around them but also wanted to be with Emma. Could he possibly choose both? Would Emma let him? Would they let him? He was in the middle of two kinds of people. Too bad they were so different. Too bad they just couldn't get along with one another. Maybe if they could then they would all be happy and he hang out with both. Hey that didn't sound like such a bad idea. Actually not bad at all.
