Chapter three: Is this a start of a Friendship?

"Hello" Christina said waving her head in front of Manny's face

"Oh sorry what" Manny said snapping back

"Can you move away from my locker" Christina repeated sounding more annoyed

"I think you have the wrong locker this is my locker" Manny said rising to her feet

"No this is my locker"

Manny reached into her pocket and pulled out piece of Paper that had her assigned locker number on it.

"No I'm sorry this is mine" Manny said holding out the paper for Christina to see

"You have to be kidding me" Christina said pulling hers out and studying it

"What" Manny asked curiously

"It saids Locker partner Manny Santos" She said handing her the paper

"Well that's me and I see the same on mine"

"I can't share a locker with some ex-cheerleader, boyfriend sealer" Christina said rolling her eyes referring to the conversation she overheard

"What?! You don't even know me or the situation and I'm not and ex- cheerleader it's called Spirit Squad and I'm still a member of it" Manny said getting in her face

"Well that's not what I just heard that blonde you were talking to tell this wannabe Punk rocker chick down the hall"

"What are you talking about" Manny said putting her hands on her hips

"Well that blonde you were just talking like ten seconds before she came over I over heard her telling that Chick that she was on her way to tell you, that you were off some team" Christina said a little happily to burst her bubble

"What that's not what she said she told me that is was just a break just a chance to relax" Manny said trying to hold back tears

"And you believed her listen I'm from L.A. trust all that was code for you're kicked to the curb" Christina said not feeling as happy as she did before

"Urgh! I made one mistake last year and everyone hates me" Manny said letting one tear come to her cheeks

Christina felt a flash of guilt come over her. Even though she heard a lot of bad things about this Manny she seemed nice and like she was really sorry for what she did.

"Come on Manny was it, if you're as good as a Cheerleader as everyone saids you are you don't need a stupid Spirit Squad" Christina said trying to cheer her up

"It's not even about that I'm sorry for what I did and it seems like no one even cares even my best friend thinks I deserve it she doesn't admit but I can tell she does" Manny said finally letting her true feelings come out not realizing Ashley and Craig who had just recently gotten back together were coming up down the hall as she said this

"Oh please save your whole Pity Manny Bit for Oprah" Ashley said rolling her eyes

"Ashley come on" Craig said grabbing Ashley's hand

"No I want to say this...." As Ashley began to tell Manny off and Craig Tried to break it up Christina got an idea

"Ashley I've apologized so many times last year over the summer and Frankly I'm tired of apologizing besides you've taken the one thing that made me happy away from me the Spirit Squad So I hope your happy" Manny said full of anger

"You know what I am" Ashley said turning around and beginning to walk off when I out of no where a Garbage can rolled in front of her it came so fast she had no time to stop and fell completely in

Students in the Hall began to laugh even Craig laughed Manny looked around and saw Christina standing against the wall near where the Garbage can once was.

"Craig help me up" Ashley screamed

Craig walked over the Garbage can and smiled.

"Ashley you've been acting like a total snob every since this whole Manny thing happened I know what we did was wrong but all we can do is apologize for it, and I thought you excepted my apology but I think what you really did was act like you did to make Manny feel even worst so I think you got what you deserved and when you really do except my apology did we can talk but until then just like right now you're on your own" Craig said walking away

Christina slowly walked over to the Garbage Can.

"It looks like you can use a hand" Christina said with a huge smirk on her face with Manny now beside her

"You did this" Ashley screamed

"Me, now why would I do such a thing" Christina pretending to sound innocent

"Just get me out" Ashley said trying to push her way out

"Okay" Christina said giving Manny a smirk which almost immediately let Manny know what she was about to do

She pushed the Garbage Can over and Ashley fell out with Garbage all over her.

Finally Mrs. Kwan walked over pushing past the students that had started to crowd around.

"What is going on Ashley what are you doing on the floor covered in Garbage" Mrs. Kwan said helping her up

"The new girl pushed it in front of me and I fell in and when I asked for help she just like laughed and pushed it over" Ashley said brushing herself off

"Is that true Miss Smith" Mrs. Kwan asked

"I just thought she needed something to match her personality and since her personality stinks I thought why not put her in the garbage" Christina said getting an evil glare from Ashley and a few chuckles from the students

"Well I don't know what school you went to before but here you don't do things like that, and I'm sorry to say that your first day here you have to have Detention" Mrs. Kwan said walking off

"Come Ashley you should change your clothes" Mrs. Kwan said to Ashley who looked back at Manny and Christina and glared

"That was Classic Christina thanks even though she'll probably hate you as much as she hates me if that's possible" Manny said

"Please I'm not scared of the Punk Wannabe" Christina said walking down the now cleared hall

Manny looked over at Christina and smiled and surprisingly the smile was returned.

"Hey what class do you have next?"

"Um....Ms. Hatzilakos Science"

"Me too want to walk together" Manny asked

"Sure" Christina said even though it was against her policy of getting close to people but rules was meant to be broken

I know some people are thinking how come Ashley is such a Bitch and Manny so sweet. Well I haven't seen any episode past "Holiday" but I heard about Ashley being really mean in "Accidents will happen" so I thought maybe I could put it in this. Besides Manny's my Favorite Character so I'm Bias hehehe. Also Just so some will understand the character I'm making her really mean at times kind of Bitchy but all in all a nice person with just a rough edge Just to explain her when she's one minute a bitch next the sweetest person.
