Manny had stood there nearly three minutes not saying a word after what Craig had said. She didn't want to believe he had loved her. Not after he cheated on Ashley when he said he was going to break up with her. Technically, he'd have been cheating on them both.
"You," Manny said silently. "You still love me?"
"Yes," Craig said shaking his head, and taking her hand. "I want to be with you, Manny. No matter what, I want to be with you."
"Craig," she said sweetly. "I think that I ---"
She had jiggled her left hand out of Craig's masculine hands. With that, she raised her left hand far behind her head, and releasing it, smacking Craig in the face. That should leave a handprint.
"I don't really want to be with you." She had turned around and walked to her class.
It was still morning. She wasn't feeling to good in her Media Immersions class. They had to build up a dot com as a project. A dot com mostly about themselves and their lives. This project would be completed with a biography, an internet blog, an image gallery filled with baby pictures and present pictures, and anything else the creator would like to add. Manny was feeling dizzy hearing Mr. Simpson talk. And her breakfast was coming up. She twirled around in her seat, vomiting on the floor of the M.I. lab. Mr. Simpson eyed her wincing as she did it. He ran a hand over his baldhead.
"Oh," Mr. Simpson began. "J.T., help Manny to the Nurse's Office."
"Um," He said getting out of his seat to help Manny up. "O-o-of course, Mr. Simpson."
J.T. was trying his best to prop Manny up as they walked the halls. She could hardly walk, and seemed really ill. He couldn't help stare at her, though. She was incredibly beautiful, after all. Manny had been noticing his wandering eyes and smiled.
"Thanks," Manny said sweetly. "For helping me to the Nurse's Office."
"No problem," J.T. said quickly. "Just...trying to look good."
Manny had put her feet on the floor forcing him to stop. She glared at him, hoping there was an explanation for what he'd just said. J.T. knew he was getting the evil eye, so he looked back at Manny with his eyes wide open.
"I mean," J.T. began. "I don't mean looking good with you...just...looking good for the teachers...I got to be a good boy, you understand. Right?"
With a brow arched he looked at Manny, giving her somewhat of a puppy dogface. Knowing he was true, Manny smiled.
"Right," She said. "I understand."
J.T. sat on a bench outside the Nurse's Office. It had been a while before Manny emerged from the door tears streaming down her eyes. She plopped down on the bench, and then turned to look at J.T.
"Manny," He began, placing a hand on her back, and moving it in a rubbing motion. "What's wrong? Are you...dying?"
"No," she said as she was choking on her tears. "I'm not dying."
"Then what's going on?"
She paused and looked at J.T. She had still been choking on her tears. She began to whisper, because the bell had started ringing, and people were emerging from their classes.
"J.T," she whispered in her ear after leaning forward. "The nurse thinks that I may be pregnant."
J.T. looked dead into her eyes. They had begun welling up with more tears. She began to whimper and suddenly, pulled him into a hug.
"Come with me," she whispered into the ear that was next to her. "Come with me to the drug store. I'll pick up a test. I'll take it. I just...don't want to be alone."
J.T. had begun hugging her when he was the one being pulled in.
"Of course," He said contently. "I wouldn't let you do this alone."
Across the hall Craig had been staring over in Manny and J.T.'s direction. They'd been entwined in a hug. Manny had broke loose, and began holding herself. She walked away slowly into the Media Immersions Room. J.T. stood up placing his hands in his pockets. Craig, being the jealous type he is, ran up to J.T. and began lifting him by his collar.
"What the ---" J.T. began, struggling to get down on the floor. "What is your problem!?"
"I just want to know," Craig said calmly. "What the hell that was about!"
Behind him, Paige, Spinner, Jimmy, Hazel, and Marco emerged from the class Craig had just exited. Paige was in total shock to see J.T. be attacked like that. J.T. was such a good friend, and didn't want to see him being attacked.
"Omigod," Paige said quickly. "Spinner, you have got to stop Craig! He's lost it!"
Paige, not knowing what to do, ran up to the scene, trying to pry Craig off of J.T. Spinner, Jimmy, Hazel, and Marco followed, doing the same. After a while, they'd got Craig off of J.T. J.T. had stumbled to his feet when he was released from the mental Craig. Manny had exited the M.I. Lab with Emma and saw that Craig was being forced away from J.T.
Here they come, she thought. The tears are coming back.
And they did just that. They began to emerge from her beautiful brown eyes. She had walked towards Craig, angrily. She held her stuff to her chest, and took a free hand to slap him again. He looked dead at her in shock.
"You," she said still choking on tears. "Stay the HELL away from J.T. if you ever want my approval. Which will be kind of hard since it will take you a while to do so."
J.T. fixed the collar on his flannel shirt. He looked as Manny walked away, and began to follow her. Emma tailed the two.
Paige walked in front of Craig, eyes still on J.T. When he was no longer visible, the guys let go of Craig. Paige looked dead at Craig now, obviously really upset.
"WHAT IS YOUR DAMAGE?!"
