Chapter 2:

I can't believe I'm with...him. I mean he just dumped me. Emma thought. As she turned her head away from the board, she felt tears start to well up in her eyes. She sensed all of her emotions from the day before re-enter her body. The anger, hurt, resentment towards him and knew getting angry wasn't right. I have to work with him; I have to work with him!!! Emma stormed out of the class, shoving her way through people. She wanted to scream. She ran to her locker and slammed her books on the ground in order to get her locker open, and for the sound effect.

"Somebody sounds a little angry. Did all the trees in the world suffocate or something?" A male voice said as he towered over her locker, shadowing her lock and making her turn around to see the numbers.

"Leave me alone! You would be angry too if you were in my situation. Oh wait, you'd be happy! You can share this time with your new boyfriend!" Emma said. She hated Jay, not because he stole Snake's laptop, but because he stole Sean away from her.

"Easy up, I'm just messin'. Look, Sean's in good hands now. Mine." Jay said, as if he had made up something truly profound.

"You sound like an All State commercial. He can do whatever he wants. I really don't care about him anymore." Emma lied. She was lying to someone who was the king of lying.

"Right, because he just broke up with you yesterday and you're over him in less than 24 hours. That's as if he's over you." Jay said, loud and clear for anyone who was walking by to hear. Including Sean.

"Wait what do yo" -but Emma was cut off by Sean.

"Hey Jay, we need to get going, umm Emma can I talk to you about something?" Sean was nervous in front of Emma and Jay. It was awkward.

"What do you want?" She had attitude that threw off Sean. He wasn't used to it. "Can we meet at the Dot after school? For our project? I mean not like a date or anything" Sean was nervous. Like the first time he asked her out.

"I can't go out, I have to baby-sit so you should just come to my house. Maybe we can get something done without arguing."

"Yea like that will ever happen." Sean mumbled. He wanted to be with her, she was just being so stubborn.

I hate how he acts as if we can't get along. I mean we can, when he's civilized. "I'll just walk to your house after shop class. Bye" With that Sean walked down the hallway.

"See what I mean, still hung up on you. Yo Sean wait up!" Jay said as he walked away talking with Sean. Is he for real? Emma thought as she put her books in her locker. She slammed the door, when JT walked up.

"Hey! You ready for tonight?" He asked as he checked out thousands of girls walking by. "What's tonight?" Emma really had no idea and JT could tell.

"You really forgot! Paige's party? The one I told you about this morning?" It just clicked in Emma's head about that whole cheering up.

"Well, I don't know, I mean I have to get together with Sean to"- JT cut her off.

"So, I see your back together with him. I can see the smile on your face! Oh yeah, outing the moves on your ex! Well, I guess I'll go solo, call me when he leaves, if your not too busy making out!! Bye!"

JT left Emma standing there flabbergasted at what JT said.

"Work on a school project. I'll meet you at your house later." Emma finished her statement, when there was no one left in the hallway to hear her.

At Emma's House

"Shhh, Jack Shhhh, I need quiet! There's a good little Jackie!" Emma was attempting to get her infant brother asleep while Sean was there.

"Well, he always sleeps to Clay Aiken, maybe I should put that on." Emma turned it on, just as Sean knocked on the door.

Here we go. Ugg!

"What is this popular music hour?" Sean asked with his books hanging loosely in his hands, as he walked into the room.

"No," Emma responded, "It just makes Jack fall asleep easier. Let's just get working. We are making a website, did you pick up the topic we were assigned to?"

"Yeah, I have it right here" Sean said as he handed her the sheet of paper. It read: Teen Romance- a site dealing with breakups and what to do once a couple has broken up and you see them!

"Oh, how perfect! I site about our relationship." Emma said sarcastically.

"Emma, I never meant to hurt you it's just, you hate my friends and we never have time for each other! I thought it was what's best!" "Really? Like it was best two years ago to kiss Ashley! We have one best at least." Emma mumbled, but Sean responded to it.

"Yeah, that kiss at the wedding was our best."

"You remember that?" Emma asked, as she adjusted the volume on her stereo, as it was playing Measure of a Man.

"Of course I remember it! How couldn't I? It was incredible!"

"Wow, it's all I have been able to think about." Emma stated, as if reading Sean's mind.

"Yea me too. Do you believe that?"

"Believe what Sean?"

"This song! Would you pick a guy just what he'll do for you?!" Sean asked, sounding angry.

"Yeah, and it's not about what he'll do for you, it's how he treats you." Emma explained, getting a little closer to Sean.

"Good, because I am ready for anything" Sean said, as he stated yes at the end of each question asked in the song.

Emma leaned in to Sean, their lips locking just at the intensity of the song. As the song ended, Sean and Emma were embraced in a kiss, even more delicate than the one at the wedding.

"Wow." Emma stated, questioning herself as she sat next to the boy she just kissed, and had broken up with her the day before.
