Manny followed Ashley all the way down the long hallway. Even though it was only a few feet I seemed hundreds away. Manny knew that Ashley hated her guts, but what she didn't know was why she was going down there, and why they would send Ashley of all people to go get her.
"um...Ashley"
"What do you want?"
"I was wondering if by chance you knew why I'm being sent down here."
"Well, no, Manny I don't, but if it wasn't a part of my job I wouldn't come near you even with a 30ft. pole. And just so that you know, I will get you back for what you did to me. When you very least expect it...I'll be there, and ready to get you."
"Ashley, I know you're pissed at me, but I will try anything to make it up to you."
"Well, nothing will work because I love Craig, and you keep taking him from me. I'm sick and tired of always coming in 2nd best when it comes to him, and I'll bet you have no clue who the person that beats me is."
Manny couldn't think of anything to say because she knew as well as Ashley knew that SHE was the one that always beat her out, and that no matter what Manny did she wouldn't ever be able to repay that.
"That's what I thought." With that they reached the office. "Just stay out of my life. OK?"
Then she swung open the office doors, and left Manny alone in the hallway. She realized that she was supposed to be in the office, and opened the door. It was stifling hot, which was odd considering the fact that it was in the middle if winter, but other than that there was not really any reason that the office should feel weird, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something really really bad was going to happen.
She began to sweat, uncontrollably. She was taking this all too seriously. She actually started to calm down. Then she got to thinking about the conversation that had just taken place, and began to wonder if there was any way that she could possibly make this up to Ashley, and she knew that the answer was no, but she wasn't going to take no for an answer.
Once again she began to ponder the different events of her day so far. First there was Craig coming up to her out of the blue. She wondered if he really would tell Ashley, and how she would take it because after seeing Ashley right now she didn't know if Ashley would be happy that Craig wanted her back, ready to kill because in happened while they were going out, or quite possible both.
Then. there was J.T. she had officially lost the him as the father method, but in the long run she knew she was doing what was best. Even though she had to lose him she thought that maybe there was still the chance that they could get together. She wanted him so bad, but she was wanted him to decide if they should be together.
There was so much going on in her life, and she just wanted to get away from it all, and think, but then she realized that being in the principal's office would not be the best time to think about things like that because she was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she completely missed her parents walking into the main office, and you could tell from the look on their faces that they were MAD!!!
Just then principal Raditch walked out of his office, looked around the room, and said..."Good you're all here. Now we can begin."
Sorry
