Chapter 10
"Where's Craig?" Sean asked, Ashley sitting down at the usual table with Emma and Manny.
"There's a new girl named Sammy and they knew each other from—" Ashley started.
"When they were younger?" Manny asked. Ashley nodded. "Told you, Em." Manny smiled and Emma rolled her eyes. Emma hoped all the caffeine would have been out of her best friend's blood stream by now.
"Doesn't it bother you that your boyfriend is with another girl?" Paige asked Ashley, rubbing Spinner's arm.
"Paige, Craig said they were only friends," Spinner said. "He told me in second period."
"But still," Paige said.
"It doesn't bother me you guys. I'm cool with it," Ashley said.
"Whatever," Paige replied. "Spinner, you would tell me if you had a friend that you haven't seen in a while wouldn't you?"
"Yeah. Yeah. Sure," Spinner said.
"Spinner would go to the moon if you told him to," Ashley said.
Spinner shook his head. "Would not," he said. "I'd have to take some tests before getting on a rocket to go to the moon. And I hate tests."
Emma laughed. She looked at Sean. "What's wrong?" Emma asked.
Sean looked up at her. "Nothing," he said. "Manny, just ticked me off a little this morning."
Hearing her name, Manny turned and looked at him. "What did Manny do?" she asked.
"Shut up, Manny," Sean said.
"Make me, Sean," Manny replied.
"Ok, what's going on here!" Emma exclaimed. "I want an explanation and I want it now!"
Sean and Manny looked at each other and then Sean turned away. "I'll tell you later," he said.
"No. Now!" Emma exclaimed.
"Later," Sean snapped. Emma winced. Sean felt sorry but he was already on his feet and taking off out of the cafeteria. No point turning back now.
