Emma snapped her fingers in front of Manny's eyes trying to wake her up from her 'trance'. "Oh sorry Em, just daydreaming." Manny replied shaking her head and typing on her computer. "About who might I ask?" Emma asked turning away from her screen.
"Y-you know…" Manny replied quietly with an embarrassed look on her face. Emma nodded acknowledging who it was, Craig. "Manny, why are you going out with Kyle then?" Emma questioned giving her an uncertain look. "I'm trying to get over him! He's everywhere!" she exclaimed. Mr. Simpson put a finger to his mouth and hushed them.
"Manny are you sure that a good id..." Mr. Simpson rose from his chair, "Girls, I don't want to have to ask you to hush again."

Craig tapped his fork against his plate impatiently waiting for Manny to arrive. When he saw her appear from around the corner, he immediately jumped a little and then motioned for Manny to come sit by him. She hesitated, but then waved at that Kyle guy and walked over to Craig's spot.
Manny sat across from Craig. He eyed her jealously. "So, Kyle you're not much of a sports guy eh?" Craig asked smiling at Manny. "No, I'm not really." He replied fiddling with the food on his tray. "Well, Manny is a cheerleader so how do you think this will look on her slate?" he questioned shaking his head.
"Umm…" Kyle gave a nervous look. "What are you interested in?" Craig continued, not taking his eyes off Manny. "I'm interested in pretty much…" his voice trailed off to who knows where. The bell rang and Manny grabbed Craig, jerking him away from his trance and practically dragged him out into the hall.
"What do you think you're doing? You put Kyle on the spot!" she said on the verge of screaming. "Look Manny, I'm sorry. I've been in over my head lately okay?" he said calmly. Manny sighed deeply and shrugged it off. "What's on you mind?" she asked urging him to tell her. "Well you see, my…er… friend is having some girl problems. You see… he likes this girl who is…taken…"
"Craig I know what and who you are talking about." Manny replied forming a frown. Craig touched her hair and moved on to her cheek, tickling her with the tip of his finger. They leaned in close to each other. Craig made the first move, he gracefully locked lips with her passionately kissing her lips. She kissed back strongly. "Manny?! Your…" Manny turned to face Kyle.
"I- look…" she stuttered. He cut her off, "It's fine okay? I get, I'm not good enough for you." He said hanging his head and sadly walking away. Manny stomped her foot, "Why does this ALWAYS happen to ME?" She shook her head.
Craig stroked her cheek. "It's fine Manny, really." She glared at him coldly, "It's Manuela!" She turned around as her heart thumped. Craig gave her sad face and replied, "Okay…Manuela."
