"Sulley!" Manny whispered into the phone. It was 1:00am, and Manny couldn't
get Sulley out of her head. "Hello?" A groggy voice answered her through
the phone. "Sulley? Why do you love me?" Manny asked quietly. "Manuelo,
it's 1:00 in the morning, cant we talk about this later?" Sulley said,
annoyance rising in his voice. "Please," Manny begged. "It feels like were
not even a couple, you know? Were just like. two people from two different
worlds who were forced to be together." Manny said, as if she had been
waiting since forever to say this. Sulley sighed heavily and said, "Babe,
you're just tired. Now go back to sleep." Manny considered this. Maybe she
WAS just tired. She had had a lot on her mind lately. Her brain was just
probably feeling too worked up, and needed someone to confide in. "You're
right. I'll see you tomorrow." Manny concluded. She gingerly placed the
phone on its receiver, and fell into a restless sleep.
"WHAT?" Emma Nelson screeched so loud some people stared at her. "J.T., she's a slut! A stupid slut! How could you even THINK of doing such a thing?!" Emma yelled. "Emma," J.T. started calmly. "I really like her." "So you think getting cheap love advice from Paige is gonna help? J.T., Manny's changed. I just don't think this is such a good idea because.well..I just don't wanna see you get hurt." Emma said lowering her voice. "Well I'll take my chances Emma; I really think that if me and Manny were together we just might hit it off." J.T. explained defensively. "I'm disgusted, J.T. All I'm doing is trying to look out for you--" "What are you, my mother? I can handle this, all right?" J.T. shot back. J.T. started to walk away when Emma yelled, "FINE! GO GET YOUR HEART BROKEN AGAIN!" "DON'T WORRY I WONT!" J.T. yelled back.
Emma ran to the girls' washroom in absolute tears. She pounded the marble counter with her fists in frustration. Why was life being so hard on her? With J.T. gone, all she'll have left is Toby. Emma sobbed softly and grabbed a paper towel and dabbed it on her face. She stared at her reflection and didn't see the same person as she did a week ago. She saw a lonesome girl with no friends, and enough worries to fill every classroom in Degrassi. She hated to say it, but she wished Manny was here, the old Manny, the one who would comfort Emma, the one she used to share secrets with, the one that used to be her best friend. Emma lost her train of thought when Manny emerged from a bathroom stall behind her. Emma immediately acted as if she were washing her hands. "Hi Emma." Manny said quietly. She was wearing a skirt so short it could practically be underwear, and a thin lacy spaghetti-strap tanktop. "I heard you crying, what's wrong?" Manny asked gently. Emma chuckled and said, "You expect me to tell you? After what you did? What are you playing at, Manny?" "Emma, I'm just trying to help! If you'd let me----" "No, Manny." Emma said discreetly. "You can't help me. Only the old Manny can." Emma said, as if she had longed to say this for so long. "Well I'm sorry, Emme," Manny started softly. "But this is the way I am now. You'll just have to learn to accept it." She said firmly. "Do I have to?" Emma started softly, her eyes glistening. Manny nodded, and headed for the door. "So this is how it's gonna be?" Emma said to Manny's back. Tears slowly formed in Manny's eyes. She turned around, and as hard as it was, she said, "I guess so Emme, I guess so." "Okay J.T., if you really like Manny, you'll show her you care." Paige said, sounding like an educated shrink. Paige and J.T. were at a cozy coffee shop enjoying a chocolate biscotti, discussing the matters of dating. "And J.T.?" Paige said lowering her voice. "Yeah?" J.T. replied, taking a bite out of his biscotti. "You DO know I was just kidding about us pretending to go out, right? And plus, Spin wouldn't let you touch me." Paige said tantalizingly. "Oh yeah, but I knew you'd do SOMETHING to help out your favorite little man right?" J.T. said in a 'you-know-you-love-me' kind of voice. Paige laughed and said, "Please. Any ways, like I said, just show a little affection. It's nice for us girls to know that sex isn't the only thing on a guys mind." "But I do, Paige, and all she ever does is push away." J.T. whined. "Oh, God!' Paige exclaimed in a preppy voice. "J.T., you and Manny TOTALLY match. She and Sulley are like apples and oranges." "You really think so?" J.T. said, hope in his eyes. For the first time, Paige was actually sure about what she was saying. "Yeah, hun, it's just a matter of nerve. If you like someone, tell them straight up." Paige said, noticing she and J.T. were getting a little too cozy on the couch. "But what if she thinks I'm an idiot or something?" J.T. said softly. Paige laughed to herself. She was really getting to know the REAL J.T. He had always seemed like the fearless clown who would do anything to get a laugh. But now, he seemed like a sweet, innocent little puppy dog who just wanted some love. Paige shook her head and came back to reality. "Hun, what's life if you never take risks? You'll spend your whole life wondering what could have happened, and it'll drive you crazy, trust me." Paige said wisely. J.T. laughed softly and said, "You know Paige, I didn't expect this from you. I just expected you to diss me or something and just..well, walk away." "Oh come on J.T., I'm not THAT much of a bitch." Paige said stupidly. An uncomfortable silence fell over them. Paige broke the silence and said, "Okay, well maybe I am most of the time, but I've been working on it." J.T. moved closer to Paige, and surprisingly, she didn't move away. "Paige," J.T. started softly. "Yeah?" She answered back timidly. "You know how you said 'what's life without taking risks?'" J.T. continued in a low voice. "Yeah," Paige answered, not understanding where this was going. "Well, how do you feel about guys like that?" He said, his breath tickling Paige's cheek. "I think-----" Before she knew it, J.T.'s lips were against hers. Paige's knees felt like they were on fire, and she was surprised at how well J.T. could kiss. Paige snapped back to reality and pushed J.T. away. "So, what did you think? You think Manny would like that?" J.T. asked anxiously. "What? But J.T. I thought..." Paige stopped instantly in her words. Now she understood. She was just a simple test dummy for J.T.'s new moves. "You thought what?" J.T. asked, finishing the last crumb of his chocolate biscotti. "I just thought that you'd be more smooth." Paige lied. "Smooth," J.T. said slowly, as if he was looking through his brain for the definition. "Smooth, I got it. Hey, by the way, great acting. You should be Manny's clone or something." J.T. said stupidly. Paige faked a laugh, but inside she felt shocked. J.T., believe it or not, could ACTUALLY be charming. Somewhere in her heart, Paige knew, but tried to deny, wished that it was her J.T. was kissing, not Manny. Paige tried to erase these thoughts out of her head when she saw Spinner looking through the window with an injured look on his face.
