A/N: Thanks for the review Kawaiiangelic, I'm glad you like it.
This chappie will be a little more active with question mark.
Chapter 2
The next day at school everyone was asking Manny if she knew who the mystery guy was. At lunch Manny and Emma were brainstorming who it could be. Their list included: JT, Toby, Chris, Spinner, Jimmy, Craig Marco, Sean and Sully. They decided to count Marco, JT, Toby, and Sean out. Emma thought that they should count Craig and Sully out too but Manny refused. That night Manny got an email with no from address, it read:
Dearest Manny, You looked nice today, with your hair down and the tight jeans and white tee. You should wear white more often, it makes you look innocent. Love, Degrassi's own Question Mark
This freaked Manny out. She had to call Emma.
"Hi Ms. Simpson, may I speak to Emma?" She asked Emma's mom.
"Yea sure Manny" Ms. Simpson replied.
"Thank you." Manny said sweetly. Manny waited while Emma came to the phone.
"Manny? What's up?" Emma said.
"Question Mark emailed me." Manny said "The Question Mark from ML."
"What'd he say?" Emma said.
"He complimented my clothes."
"What's the email address?"
"There is none." Manny said, "This guy knows what he's doing."
"Calm down Manny, it's okay." Emma said even though she was freaking out too. "We are going to figure out who it is." When they hung up Manny just sat and stared at the message on the screen. Manny watched ML to see if there was another shout out but there wasn't, she sighed out of relief. But then she remembered the email and worried again. She got her worst sleep ever that night. The next morning she didn't even bother getting ready she just put on sweatpants and a small tee shirt, threw her hair up and went down for breakfast.
"Manuella, you look horrible, did you get any sleep?" Mrs. Santos asked her daughter.
"Not really, I have to get to school." Manny said and walked over to her parents to kiss them on the cheek. She grabbed her school stuff and walked out the door.
"Hey Manny" Emma called.
"Oh, hey Em." Manny replied sleepily.
"Wow, are you alright?" Emma asked concerned.
"I didn't get much sleep, I was thinking about the 'Question Mark' thing."
"Oh wow, I didn't realize you were that worried." Emma said. In Media Immersions that day Manny checked her email like always, and found one email from questionmark@degrassi.net that read:
Manuella, You look horrible. I heard you and Ms. Nelson talking this morning. I'm sorry I didn't realize I was troubling you so much. Love your friend,
Question Mark
She messaged Emma
Smileygirl: Emma! Got another email
Sparklespaz: really?
Smileygirl: he made an email address questionmark@degrassi.net
Sparklespaz: what's the email say?
Smileygirl: that he heard us talking and he didn't realize he was troubling me
Sparklespaz: ok wow, he listens to us. We have to be careful about what we say.
Smileygirl: okay, we will. Gotta get back to the MI project
Sparklespaz: ttyl
Smileygirl: lylas
Manny got back to her MI project. During her free period later that day Manny went to the bathroom leaving her books on the desk. When she got back she found a piece of paper with a watermelon heart shaped lollipop taped to it. The piece of paper said:
Manny, I knew watermelon was your favorite, though you could use something to cheer you up. Your friend, Question Mark
Manny looked around to see if anyone was watching her. She folded the piece of paper up and put it in her bag to show Emma, JT, and Toby. After school she met them outside and pulled the paper and lollipop out of her bag.
"This person is serious about you Manny." Toby said. JT had started to like Manny when she changed her look, and he still did, so her just rolled his eyes.
"How'd he know I love watermelon?" Manny said
"Everyone knows that Manny." JT said.
"Oh yea, I did announce that at the basketball game." Manny said, "Damn I thought it would help us figure out who it is."
"Can you tell whose handwriting it is?" Toby asked.
"No, it's a typical guy's writing." Manny said
"Manny don't worry it'll be okay." Later that day at home Manny was staring at the note from the lollipop when her mom came in. She folded the note and stuck it in her pocket. She walked to her room to respond to Question Mark.
Dear Question Mark, Who are you? I am freaking out. Write back. Your friend, Manuella Santos
P.S. Why'd you pick Question Mark
Then Manny went downstairs to help her mom with dinner. When dinner was over and the kitchen was clean, Manny went upstairs to do her homework and check her email again. Her homework took an hour and a half. Then she logged onto her email and found one from who else but Question Mark and another one from JT. She opened JT's first.
Manny, Hey, sorry if I've been rude or stupid lately. I'm jealous of Sully and this Question Mark dude because they have your attention. I'm sorry again. Your buddy, JT Yorke
She wrote a quick reply and read Question Mark's:
Dear Manny, I can't tell you who I am because if you knew you would probably never talk to me again. I am in an asshole group at school. I know you love Radio Free Roscoe and I heard that your favorite person is Robbie/Question Mark, so that's why I called myself that. Sincerely, Question Mark
'Wow' Manny thought 'Toby was right, he is serious' Manny sent a reply.
Dear Question Mark, Now I understand, but I haven't really been talking to you so what's the difference? Your friend, Manuella Santos
She sent it and got a reply right away.
Dearest Manny, I wouldn't want you to hate me. I have a clue for you. I am the one who found your diary last year. Sincerely,
Question Mark
Manny read that and flipped out. She got on her messaging program and messaged Emma.
Smileygirl: Emma, question mark is the one who found my diary last year
Sparklespaz: what? OMG!
Smileygirl: yea he told me in an email
Sparklespaz: look Manny remember Jordan? I don't want you to end up that way.
Smileygirl: Emma I'm not like you I won't do that, I'm not that stupid.
