~ After School ~
"Phew!" Manny said to herself as the last bell of the day rang. "Finally I get to go home!"
She stacked her books and notebooks in a neat pile and picked them up as she walked away. She waited for J.T. by the door for a few minutes, but Ms. Kwan was talking to him so she went to her locker. She gathered her things and stood there talking to Emma while she waited for J.T.
"Took you long enough, I waited for a couple minutes but it looked like Ms. Kwan wasn't ever going to stop talking, so I left to find Emma." She told him when he finally walked over.
"Yeah sorry, she kept rambling on about my study habits and crap."
"How can you have study habits if you never study?" She asked with a laugh.
"I study!" He said as he put an arm around her, ".. occasionally."
"Yeah sure you do..I'll call you later Em! Bye!" Manny said as they walked away.
As they left the school they discussed their plans for that evening:
"So, do you want to do something tonight?" J.T. asked her.
"I don't know.I promised Emma I'd hang out with her sometime this weekend."
"Well.. we could hang out at my place tonight, my parents are gone until Sunday so we'd have the house to ourselves." He said with a wink.
"Fine.. but don't get too excited." She said with a grin.
When they got to J.T.'s the phone was ringing. J.T. answered it and Manny leaned on the counter next to him.
"Hello? Oh hi..no, not tonight Manny's over..yeah tomorrow's fine..ok talk to you later..bye." *click*
"Who was that?" Manny asked.
"Toby, he wanted to hang out tonight, but I told him you were over."
"So.he can come over too."
"Are you kidding, I just want to be with you tonight"
"When did you get so romantic?"
"I have lots of secrets." He said with a wink.
"Ooooh." She said with a raise of her eyebrows and a giggle.
"C'mon let's do something!" She said.
"Like what?" He said, and started to tickle her.
"Ahh hahaha stop im sooo ticklish stop!"
She was laughing so hard she began to lose her balance and he caught her before she toppled over. When he caught her, their faces were mere centimeters apart. She stopped laughing and her breath caught in her throat as he pushed some hair behind her ear and kissed her.
J.T. half expected Manny to pull away, but she didn't. Even as he guided her into the living room and pushed her gently down on the couch she held onto him, never breaking the kiss. After awhile, he took his hand off her face and ran his fingers across her stomach. His touch made all her muscles tighten, and she moaned quietly. She deepened the kiss and pressed her body tighter against his. Then she loosened her grip and pushed him away.
"Manny.what's wrong?"
"N.nothing.it's just that.if we kept going I don't think I would have been able to stop...and I'm not ready for that yet.
"That's ok..to tell you the truth..neither am I."
"So what do you want to do now?" She asked him, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I don't know.but nothing can top what we just did."
"*giggle* ok then...so you want to watch a movie?"
"Yeah sure.we can watch in my room."
"Alright."
J.T. got up and grabbed Manny's hand, pulling her up.
........................
"So what do you want to watch?" He asked when they walked into his room.
"Ummm.something funny."
"Ok.how about.Malibu's Most Wanted?"
"Sounds good."
Manny laid down on the bed while J.T. put in the movie. After he put in the movie, J.T. laid down next to her. He put his arm around her and she rested her head on his shoulder.
~ The Next Morning ~
When Manny woke up, sunlight streamed through the window. She glanced at the clock: 10:30 AM. She stretched, and when her hand hit something she remembered..
"J.T.! Wake up!"
"Wha.huh? Oh crap what time is it?"
"10:30 in the morning! My parents are gonna kill me! I told them I was at Emma's but I never said I was sleeping over!"
"Manny, calm down, you've been sleeping over at Emma's like every Friday night since 3rd grade..I don't think your parents are too worried."
"I'm going to call Emma.just to make sure my parents didn't call her or anything."
"Ok."
Manny picks up the phone and dials.
"C'mon Em pick up!"
Emma: Hello? Manny: Hey Em.it's me. Emma: Oh hi Manny.I was just about to come over. Manny: Well.it's a good thing you didn't. Emma: Why? Manny: Because I'm not home. Emma: Then where are you? Manny: At J.T.'s. Emma: Why are you at J.T.'s at 10:30 in the morning? Manny: Because.I slept here. Emma: MANNY! Are you still a virgin? Manny: Em chill.yes I'm still a virgin! *J.T. gives Manny a strange look* Manny: Look I have to go.I'll explain everything later..I'll come over as soon as I can..bye! Emma: Bye. *click*
"What was that all about?" J.T. asked as she hung up the phone.
"Emma was spazzing because I slept here."
"Why does that not surprise me?" He asked.
Manny smiled and threw a pillow at him.
"C'mon lets go downstairs and eat.I'm starving." He said after throwing the pillow back.
"Ok."
They went downstairs.and what they found in the Kitchen wiped the smiles right off their faces.
"Mom, Dad?" J.T. asked in disbelief. "What are you doing here?"
"We decided we didn't want to stay the rest of the weekend. Now I think the question is what is Manny doing here?" His mom replied angrily.
Before he could answer she continued.
"Do you know how shocked we were when we came home and found Manny in your bed? What were you thinking?"
"Mom we were just watching a movie and we fell asleep, I swear!"
"Do you expect us to believe that?" His dad chimed in. Your grades have been slipping because you spend more time on girls and skateboarding than you do on your schoolwork! Well this is the last straw! You're going to private school and we're taking away your skateboard."
"But Dad! No! Mom please!"
"I'm sorry but I agree with your father on this, I think it's for your own good. Now, no arguing, you can walk Manny home and then you are grounded."
J.T. ran out the front door and Manny followed.
"Are they seriously going to send you to private school?"
"It sure looks that way Manny!" he yelled.
"Sorry..I.."
"No, I'm sorry.I didn't mean to yell at you.."
"It's ok..umm you can just walk me to Emma's."
"Ok.this is soooo unfair!"
"I know," Manny said, now in tears, "I'm sorry I got you in trouble."
"It's not your fault Manny; I wasn't expecting them to get home so early,"
When they reached Emma's driveway Manny gave J.T. a hug.
"Thanks for walking with me.I'll uh call you later I guess."
"Ok.bye Manny."
Manny wiped away her tears but as she watched him walk away, more tears fell. She cried as she knocked on Emma's door and when the door opened she was met with a very concerned Emma.
"Manny.. what's wrong?"
"J.T.'s parents came home early and saw us together in his bed.and his parents were mad because they said his grades are slipping and all this stuff about girls and not spending enough time on schoolwork.Emma they're sending him to private school!"
Now Emma was near tears, she gave Manny a hug and they both walked into the house.
"Wow Manny look at us, we're practically bawling because J.T. is switching schools."
"Em! We've been friends with him since we were like 3, not to mention the fact that he's my boyfriend!"
"I'm so sorry Manny..you guys can still hang out on the weekends though." Emma said, trying to make her feel a little better.
"It still won't be the same though.."
"Phew!" Manny said to herself as the last bell of the day rang. "Finally I get to go home!"
She stacked her books and notebooks in a neat pile and picked them up as she walked away. She waited for J.T. by the door for a few minutes, but Ms. Kwan was talking to him so she went to her locker. She gathered her things and stood there talking to Emma while she waited for J.T.
