Years passed. Manny and Emma were in 9th grade. Manny never moved on. Guys asked her out but she was afraid of them. Afraid of love. Afraid of losing someone else. She had Emma. Still the best of friends. Paige's cousin, Sally, came to live with Paige because her dad went into the military and her mom died of cancer when she was younger. Sally was also in grade 9. She had first period with Manny. She decided to sit next to her.

"Hi. Im Sally."

"Hi," said Manny,

"Im Manny."

"Im new here. My cousin is Paige. Do you know her?" She asked.

"Kinda."

"Cool."

"So where are you from?" Manny asked.

"Pasadena." Sally answered.

"Pasadena, California?" Manny asked surprised.

"Yeah."

"Did you know a guy named JT Yorke?" Manny asked.

"Uhhhh J.T? No. But my best friend is going out with a guy named James Yorke." Sally answered. Manny smile faded. She couldn't believe it. He moved on. He forgot all about her. How could he.

"Are you okay?" Sally asked.

"Yeah. Sorry."

"You knew James?" Sally asked.

"Yeah. He used to go here. I was like best friends with him. But then he moved and we lost contact. Its been about 3 years." Manny said sadly.

"Really? Wow. If you want. I can give you his screen name." Said Sally happily.

"Sure. I would like that."

Later when Manny got home. She signed on and put his sn on her buddy list. He was on. Her heart dropped. Before she Imed him, she looked at his profile:

Manny clicked the link. It was his website. It had a daily journal. A tag board. She was impressed. She read up on everything. She wanted to know how he was without asking him. She was afraid to talk to him. It would be to awkward. Then an IM popped up. It was him:
