"Give it back J.T.!" Emma screamed at him the following morning. Grinning
widely, J.T. swung her notebook in front of her face.
"Aww come on, Em. There can't be anything that bad in here..." He leaned against he locker and started opening it. Emma's face grew red and she snatched it from him.
"Grow up a little. You're such a kid still."
"Yeah well...at least I'm not so uptight like you..." He shot back.
Emma scoffed. "I think I've known you for too long." She gave a light laugh. J.T. smiled. They were always joking around. The two were there rather early that morning. They had come in to work on an English project and were now waiting around until people started showing up. The halls were rather empty, despite a few kids here and there. "It should turn out good," Emma offered to fill the silence. "I think the Powerpoint is excellent."
J.T. nodded. "Yeah, it should be pretty good." Never before had he been looking forward to school work as much as now. Usually he got partnered with a "loser" or someone he'd rather not talk to. This time though, he got partnered with Emma. She was actually pretty easy to get along with, and was a very hardworker. He'd had to do almost nothing. That was his kind of homework.
A girl passed them and they both stiffened, turning into their locker. Their glances followed her down the hallway. J.T. turned towards Emma. "She has got to be the biggest freak ever." He said.
Emma bit her lip. She didn't like to be mean to people, especially since she didn't even know Ellie all that well. It's just that...Ellie was a little rough around the edges. Emma was used to people like that, seeing as she had dated Sean for quite awhile, but there was just something about Ellie Nash that didn't sit right with her or most people. It was rather unsettling. "I don't know...I guess she never did anything to us though, right?" The two stood there, trying to waste time by shuffling things in their lockers. "Do you want to go down to the cafeteria, see if anyone's there?" Emma said at last, breaking the silence.
"Yeah, sure." They both shut their lockers, Emma shoving her coveted notebook under everything else, and headed down to the cafeteria.
It was where a lot of kids hung out before the first bell rang. Whether they needed to finish some homework, or buy a breakfast muffin, it was a nice place to socialize. When they arrived, they found that it was semi- full and started looking for some of their friends. Emma spotted Toby and Liberty at a table by one of the windows. Liberty was of course checking over her homework from the night before, and Toby was picking at a breakfast muffin. "Hey guys," J.T. said. The two kids looked up and them and nodded their hello's. They all sat around talking for awhile.
Minutes later Paige and Terri appeared behind them. "Hun," she said talking to J.T. "come on, we're over here." Emma, Toby, and Liberty rolled their eyes as J.T. got up to follow his queen. Paige had J.T. wrapped around her finger, despite the fact that she was dating Spinner. J.T. literally worshipped the ground that she walked on. They walked away and Emma starred as they mad their way across the cafeteria.
"She's so..."
"Popular?" Toby finished for Emma.
Emma glared at him, shaking her head, annoyed. "I'm going to go get ready for class, I'll see you guys later."

This would be where subplots come into play and all... By the way, sorry that I forgot to mention this, but we're assuming that the whole thing with Craig, Manny, and Ash never happened. I didn't like Craig when he did that.. :-/ Manny and Emma are still friends...for now. Thank for the reviews again! Sorry for the confusion.
