Chapter 4: Emma's Reactions

Emma and Manny walked into Degrassi School, seeing that the girls were both dressed in skanky clothing, tons of guys stared and made comments. Emma wasn't used to all the attention. They waked into Ms. Hatzilakos homeroom, and sat down. they were a little early, earlier than everyone else.

Emma: This is great. Sean is already starting to see what he lost.

Manny: I know. So, since today is Thursday, want to go out and do something tomorrow? Like go to that rave at DJ's Club?

Emma: Sure, do you need ID to get in?

Manny: Nah, its just 15 and over....

People started coming into the room.

JT (with his back turned): Hey Emma, for our project, do you want to do.......

He turned and saw her. His mouth fell open. He was stunned. He couldn't speak.

Emma: Yes, JT? What did you want to do for our project?

JT: Um, nothing I guess.....you can choose it......

Toby walked in, and so did Liberty. Toby glanced over to Emma and had about the same reaction as JT.

Toby: Emma? Uh, hi!

Manny stifled a laugh, and Emma couldn't help but giggle. Liberty glanced over to Emma and Manny, and scowled. Ms. Hatzilakos then walked in and told everyone to sit down. She started taking attendance, then finished. Emma was doodling in her notebook, then glanced up to see Chris Sharpe, JT and Toby staring at her. As soon as they saw her look, they looked away really fast. Emma rolled her eyes, but was enjoying the attention. She just started doodling again, and then the bell rang. Time for PE.

Emma: Did you see that Chris guy, JT, and Toby all staring at me in class? I didn't expect much of a reaction...

Manny: Don't be silly, you look great!

In PE, everything was pretty much the same, some guys telling her her hair looked hot and everything.

Great. Time for Mr. Simpson's MI class. This was right before lunch.

Emma: I guess I can just wear my sweater......but I'll leave my hair down.

Manny: Yea, I guess that'll work.

So they walked into his class, and Mr. Simpson really didn't notice anything special, so everything was cool. Right after that class, Emma pulled off her sweater and her and Manny headed to the lunchroom.

Emma: So, how are you and Sully doing?

Manny: Were great. Just the other day we were making out, and his parents came home and busted us, but who cares.

Emma giggled, then they went to get their lunch. Emma had a tofu sandwich with water, and Manny got a burger and a Dr. Pepper. They grabbed an empty table to talk.

Paige, Hazel, Ashley and Terri were getting their lunches together, and grabbed a table that was filled with the boys: Spinner, Jimmy, Marco, and Craig. They were talking about the new and improved Emma Nelson.

Spinner: Hey, have you guys seen that grade 9 chick? Emma Nelson? You know, the geek one? Well, she looks hot today.

Jimmy: I have to agree with you there. And her little friend Ms. Santos and just as hot.

Marco: You guys, she looks fake! Look at Dylan over there. Now he's so....real.

Spinner: OK, since when do you care about our conversations, Marcie.

Craig: C'mon you guys, their just two grade 9's! Plus, Spin, your girlfriend is giving you a death stare.

Spinner: Aww, you'd know, didn't you date that Ms. Santos last year?

Craig: Shut up Spin, that was months ago.

Paige laughed, then said: "OK, she does look better today, but not that great." Then she moved over and gave Spinner a kiss on the mouth. Then Ash did the same with Craig. Hazel and Ter just glanced at each other and laughed.

Hazel: C'mon you guys, you know Paige doesn't really like Emma.

Emma looked up from her sandwich to see the grade 10's staring at their table. Just then, Kendra, Liberty and Nadia waked up to their table and sat down.

Kendra: Um, hey Em. What's this about you quitting the environmental club, SITE? You organized the whole thing!

Emma: It isn't your business Kendra, really.

Liberty: That's what you told me!

Nadia: Yea, we really need you for this. Your the best one.

Emma: C'mon, do I look like a geek? Manny laughed.

Kendra just looked really weird, then said, "Fine, Ill take you off the list." Then the girls walked away.

Manny: Are you sure your not taking this a little too seriously? I mean, you love the environment.

Emma: It is a geek club, and if I'm going to be hot, I cant be in it.

Manny: Wow, look whose coming over here.......

Emma glanced up to see Spinner Mason and Jimmy Brooks walking toward her. OMIGOSH! Emma thought.
