Manny did well in avoiding Craig. Wherever he went, she went the opposite direction, that is, except for the fact that they are locker buddies…

   It was the end of the day and Manny and Craig were silently gathering their books for home. "Mann- Manuela, I'm sorry, I was an idiot." Craig admitted looking shamefully down at the ground. Her heart thumped continuously. She didn't say anything, she just grunted at the ground and left.

    Craig's mind had gone wild! What was it she wanted? He had embarrassed himself in front of her boyfriend, but then again, who's to say the stuff he did was bad? I mean, after all, Manny lost her boyfriend because of him.

   He thought up different attempts to win her back and tomorrow, 'Phase One' would be put into action…

  Manny moodily walked to her locker and practically tore the locker door off it's hinges only to reveal a white rose with a note taped to it that read,

  'Manuela,

  I'm sorry that I hurt you.

  I've done many things to you in the past,

  But you the one, so please,

  Accept this rose as an apology.

  Love, Craig'

   Manny's heart thumped harder. He was sincerely saying sorry, and all she was doing, was throwing it back in his face. She tore a piece of notebook paper out of her journal and replied to Craig's note.

  Hazel grinned at Jimmy. "Your slam dunk was awesome!" she complemented with an excited smile.

  "Thanks, I should be getting to class now." He said walking away. Hazel caught up to him. "So, want to hang out after school with me?" she asked excitedly. "Haze, I've got a girlfriend and the last thing she needs is another cheating boyfriend." He replied shaking his head.

  Hazel stood there as Jimmy walked off. There had to be someway to get him to like her. Nobody had ever liked her. She sighed heavily.

  Maybe they weren't meant to be. She shook her head. She had been crushing on Jimmy ever since he broke up with Ashley. It was about time she showed him her real feelings, though she feared it wasn't the right time.

"Dude, like, did she get it?" Spinner questioned eagerly as Craig walked to his locker. "How am I supposed to know?" he asked rolling his eyes. He opened his locker nonchalantly and noticed a note addressed to him. He stared at it for a while.

  "Dude, open it!" shouted Spinner laughing at Craig's stupidity. Craig opened the note and read,

 'Dear Craig,

Long years have passed and I have continued to love you,

Over my head was I when I found out you liked me,

Very much have I become attracted to you,

Eager to love you once more…

  -Manny'

Craig jumped up almost five feet into the air as he shoved the note under Spinner's nose. "Calm down, man." He said reading the note for himself. The bell rang, intercepting their thoughts.

"Hey Emma." Sean chirped walking up to her. She didn't say a word as she walked to class with him behind her. "Come one, you have to talk to me at some point." He declared. "No, actually I don't." she replied opening the door to the Media Immersions room. Sean pulled up a chair by Emma an continued, "Look Em, I'm SO sorry." He said looking down at the ground.

  "I know Sean, you always are." She said sternly. "Give me a break okay? It was like being your boyfriend had a book of rules!" he blurted. She thought a moment, "Fine Sean, if it's another chance you want, another chance is what you'll get."
