Emma
By Lemony Apple
Chapter 2
Author's Note: Well, well, well! Hello readers! I guess I can't stop writing about Degrassi. It's just so darn fun. I can't stay away from Liberty, either! (In case you didn't know, she happens to be my favorite. Right after her is Emma, and since the two Degrassi stories I've written were Liberty based, I decided to try my hand at Emma. (Feel free to flame if you think it's terrible, Emma is kind of hard to write, and she might become OOC. PLEASE inform me if she's too OOC. Because, OOC is blasphemy.)
By the way, I'm writing this in the library at school. (:
Disclaimer that I forgot from last chapter:
I want Craig. But unfortunately, I don't have that lovely privilege. Darn you, Degrassi people who own it! DARN YOU AND YOUR KIND!
Disclaimer for this chapter:
Still don't own anything. Still wanting Craig. Still unhappy with the arrangement.
"Jimmy?" Manny cried, half laughing. "You thing JIMMY is going to go out with Liberty? Emma, please tell me your joking!"
"I'm not, Manny. You should have heard Liberty on the phone. She was crying so hard! I bet a boy like Jimmy will cheer her up."
"A boy like Jimmy wouldn't breathe on Liberty, let alone hit on her!"
"Oh, come on. It'll be fine. Jimmy's a nice guy, Liberty's a nice girl, it'll work out, trust me."
Emma traded the phone to her right hand.
"I'll be the first to tell you it doesn't work," Manny's voice cried.
"And if it does work, You'll say you knew it would work all along." Emma said.
"Okay, okay. I'll be over in a minute to pick you up."
Emma tried her best to explain to Jimmy the importance of asking Liberty out.
"I don't know, Emma." He said, dribbling the ball absentmindedly. He was looking down on it like it was his first born son. "Liberty's not really my type, you know? She's a nice girl and all, but you know..."
"Oh, come on Jimmy! She's heartbroken, and it's only a date. It's something nice to do for a suffering girl. Common? For me?" Manny said, playfully, in a way only Manny could do. It was a special power to make all men turn into mush.
"Well, all right. But only once, okay?"
"Great!" Emma said. "You're going to go see My Life, My Hemorrhage."
"'My Life, My Hemorrhage?!'" Jimmy was laughing now. "What kind of crappy movie is that?"
"Well, it's the only one suitable for a date! So get to it!" She continued. Jimmy twisted his face up like he was in pain. Fine, just as long as he got the job done. Jimmy gestured. Liberty nodded. Jimmy dribbled some more. Liberty smiled and nodded again.
Jimmy smiled at her, and then exited as soon as possible.
Emma Nelson suddenly wondered what she was doing.
The phone rang at exactly Seven-thirty two. Emma answered it quickly so Snake wouldn't wake up and snap about him not getting enough sleep.
"Emma," It was Jimmy. "Why the hell did you make me watch that movie? That was downright painful!"
"Oh, it was just a comedy!" Emma said. "Come on, Jimmy, that isn't the point. How was it?"
"Um, Emma?"
"Yeah?"
"It didn't work out. I left early."
"How early?"
"I went to the bathroom and never came back."
Emma put the phone back on its cradle, disgusted.
"Who's the next victim?" Paige said, grabbing some popcorn. "I say...Craig."
"Craig?" Manny choked. "If its Craig, then vote me out of this leg, you're doing this on your own."
"Fine. All for Craig being the next set up for Liberty?"
Paige and Emma raised their hands. Manny kept hers neatly folded in her lap.
"With one abstention, Craig is our next man!"
