Craig didn't get out of the house that weekend. All he did was sit on the couch and sometimes in his room reviewing everything that had happened like a movie screen in his head. Sure, he got random calls from Spinner, but he never even bothered to answer the phone.
All he could think about was one thing…Manny. That was the same thing with her. She hadn't gotten out of the house as well, but it's not like she could however, because of her parent's reinforcements.
Then finally, Monday came, the day that both Craig and Manny had been dreading and when the alarm rang, both groaned solemnly and tapped the button off.

They both arrived at school in the nick of time. Craig opened the locker for Manny when she came. "Manny, please, I am so sorry for whatever I did." Craig admitted not knowing exactly if he had something to be sorry for.
"Craig, it's not you, it's my parents. T-they found out about us, and they are making me go out with one of their friend's sons. I'm sorry, I just can't stand up to them." Manny replied sadly grabbing her books.
"Manny, please, you can't just leave me like this," he gulped, "Your leaving me for another guy." He continued, fighting back the tears. "Craig, I didn't leave you. I love you, but my parents won't let me see you anymore." Manny replied. Craig looked deeply into her tear stained face, "I'm not going to give up that easily."

Jay and Emma sat quietly down at the lunch table while Sean blabbed on about the car he fixed. They locked eyes and the Jay that despised about everyone, the Jay that was the school bully, the Jay that didn't care about anyone smiled at Emma.
She graciously returned his smile. Sean was to absorbed in his 'life story' to realize that the two were actually getting along for the first time… since the mall.

" Craig, GO AWAY! He goes to this school." Manny replied nervously to Craig as he asked her to go to his table for lunch. "Manny please." He begged.
"Craig, you know what he will do when he realizes you're here?" questioned Manny sternly. Craig nodded and sat by Spinner, not taking his eyes off the black haired boy who sat down by Manny. The boy pecked her cheek. Craig formed a fuming frown.
He pounded his fists on the table. "Spin, why did this have to happen? I can't take it! I just can't." Craig said, his eyes still locked on Manny.
"Just move on okay? It's not THAT hard." Exclaimed Spinner, exhausted with Craig's love life. "No, no, no, no, NO!" Craig replied hitting his head on the table. "She's totally worth it!" he continued for the second time today, fighting back the tears.

Manny dug her face in her pillow. It was hard enough being forced to let go of Craig, but to be forced to go out with someone she doesn't even like, now that is another thing. She shuddered at the thought of Brian's kissing.
He was so bland and boring. His laugh was horrible too. It was a loud pelican-like laugh that made you want to shut him up. She couldn't go out with him, she just couldn't.
Manny walked downstairs and approached her mother, "Mami, do I have to date…Brian?" she asked, gulping. Her mother gave her a stern look and replied, "Yes, you shouldn't date that other boy, that's what happened to Tia Lola." Reminded her mother.
"I know, okay? Tia Lola is different though!" exclaimed Manny sighing about her mother reply. "We like it here, we should not be like Tia Lola okay? Your Papi likes his job" , explained her mother shaking her head.
