Chapter 5: Things Change

Spinner and Jimmy came over and sat down.

Spinner: Um, hey, Emma, right?

Emma laughed. She had known Spinner since 7th grade, whenever he was hazing Manny and her, and when he ruined her science project (almost).

Emma: Um, ya, Emma. You know me!

Jimmy: Smooth one, Mr. Mason.

Spinner: Shut up Jimmy! Anyways, you look hot today. Want to go to The Dot after school?

Emma: Um, don't you have a girlfriend, Paige?

Spinner: Yea, but...oh hey Manny didn't see you there.

Manny rolled her eyes.

Spinner: If you're interested, I'll be there, okay?

Emma: Oookkkayyyy.....

The boys left.

Emma: What was that about??

Manny: Even Spinner Mason is interested? This is too good to be true.

The girls went to put up their trays. The rest of the day went by fast, guys making comments and saying hey all day to Emma and Manny. Emma really loved all the attention.

When the day was over, Emma went back home, and waked into the house. Her parents didn't notice with the sweater on and all.

Spike: Hi, Emma, did you have a good day? She was feeding Baby Jack with a bottle.

Emma: Um, yea, same old same old!

She went down to he room and guess she had to do some homework, even though it was nerdy. After all, she was trying to be more fun, and less boring, and get Sean to see what he missed. Then she remembered Spinner at the Dot. She guessed she'd call Manny and they could go down, just to have a burger or something... Emma picked up her phone.

Emma: Hey Manny, its Em.

Manny: Hey!

Emma: Um you know how Spinner invited us to The Dot?

Manny: Correction: He invited you!

Emma: Yea, well, I was thinking we could go. You want to?

Manny: Yea, sure, I'll meet you outside The Dot in 20 minutes.

They hung up, and Emma pulled off the sweater, grabbed her purse, and headed out from the back window. She met Manny outside The Dot, and they went in, to see Spinner, Jimmy, Marco, and Craig sitting at a table. They were talking about Emma.

Emma: Hey boys.

Manny flashed her cutest smile and said "Hi Craig."

Craig: Um, hi.

Spinner: So, the ladies made it! Can we get you something to eat?

Emma: Yea, get me a milkshake....strawberry.

Manny: Get me a vanilla milkshake.

Spin: Comin' right up!

They got their stuff and was talking. But just then, Paige, Ashley, and Hazel walked in the door. They spotted the boys and Emma and Manny.

Paige: Spinner!

Ashley: Craig!

They all turned around and stood up.

Spinner: Honeybee, its not what it looks like.....we were just talking.

Paige: Oh really? Since when do you care about Emma Nelson? Oh yeah, since she got 'hot' or something, right?

Emma: Hey, you better back off Barbie. You don't own him.

Paige: I suggest you sit down, Emma. Just because you got a new look doesn't mean.....

Manny: Hey! Paige! Leave her alone, alright?

Ashley: And what about you Craig? I thought we all had plans to meet here, and you guys are hanging with these grade 9's!

Paige: Whatever guys. Were going. They all left, Hazel running after them for support.

Emma: So, back to Trapt....that band is awesome, right guys?

Spinner: I got to go Emma, Manny. Bye

Craig went with him, and so did the other boys?

Manny: Eww! They just left us here!

Emma: Oh well, I better get home.....got some dumb homework to do.

Manny: I'll call you later.....bye Em.

They both went home, and Emma sneaked in through her window.
