(A/N: welcome to my new story! Just for a heads up, this will probably be a
good, juicy, long one hehe. Ok well let's get started!)
Emma sat at home, feeding Jack. It was 6:15 on a Friday evening, but she wished the clocks would go back a few hours. In forty-five minutes, Emma had to go with Chris to a pretty big party. School was going to end in three weeks, so this was sort of an early celebration. That's why both grade tens and nines were invited. This sounded like it could be a blast, but Emma was completely dreading it.
Chris wasn't the reason, however. Emma loved hanging out with him. But the party itself was why Emma didn't want to go. Pretty much all of the grade tens thought she was the lamest thing ever – well, except for Craig. But it wasn't like he was going to talk to her. So she'd have to hang around her fellow grade nines – JT, Manny, Toby, Sean, and Chris of course. She knew that Chris was going with her, so it wasn't like he was going to ignore her. But he's pretty popular, and she couldn't blame him if he got distracted and had to go hang with some of his friends. And these people were definitely not Emma's crowd. Manny, of course, was not an option to hang out with. Same with Sean, he and Emma were two completely different people now. And as for JT and Toby, well, Emma was kind of freaked out by Toby ever since she found out he used to like her and JT was pretty much obsessed with Manny. So he was probably going to follow her around all night.
'Maybe I'm over-thinking this.' Emma thought. She glanced at the clock and noticed that it was 6:40 already. "Okay, I've DEFINITELY been over-thinking this." she said to herself as she stood up and put Jack in his cradle. Immediately after, Emma ran to her room so she could find something to wear.
Meanwhile, Paige and Spinner were on their way to the party. Paige was driving, but she was pretty nervous behind the wheel. After all, she had never been to this house before so she was shaky on the directions. Plus, it was getting dark out.
"Okay, he said make a left at Lake Street, right?" she asked Spinner.
Spinner was busy reading the back of his two spray cheese cans he was bringing. "Woah, all of this in one can?"
"Spinner! I need help, here."
"What? Oh, sure, Honeybee."
"What does that street sign say?"
"Sweet...cheddar." Spinner had gone back to concentrating on the cheese.
"Cheddar?" Paige asked, clueless. "We're supposed to be on Maple Str – oh," she realized Spinner wasn't talking about the sign. Paige sighed and saw a house with loud music ahead. Her face brightened. "Yes! We're here."
Spinner looked up. "Awesome, great driving, PumpkinBunny."
Paige giggled as she and Spinner got out of the car and ran up to the front door, being greeted by other friends at the party already.
Finally, around 7:15, Emma and Chris walked in. Across the room, they could see JT and Manny. "Hey, wanna go over there?" Chris asked.
Emma really didn't, but she agreed to anyway. "Sure. Let's go." she said as she forced a smile. With that, Chris and Emma approached JT and Manny, talking nearby the refreshment table.
"Hey, Manny. JT." Chris greeted. Emma just stood next to Chris, hiding a little. But she still kept the forced smile on her face.
"Hey guys." JT said.
Manny looked Emma up and down with some attitude. "Hey."
Emma was tired of this. She didn't want to be the one who was silent in the conversation. So she just ignored Manny and said "I can't believe school's almost over."
"I know, the year totally passed by like that." Chris joined in.
"Well, at least the teachers are laying off homework. Thank god for the last few weeks. They're always easy." JT commented.
As the rest of the group talked, Manny noticed some more soda bottles being taken over to the table. "Um, JT, I'm just gonna go get a drink."
"Okay." JT nodded.
Manny smiled and walked over to the table. Sully was getting himself a Sprite. "Oh hey, Manuella."
"Hey Sully." Manny said quietly under her breath as she grabbed a paper cup.
"Having fun?"
"I really don't feel like talking."
"You want a party favor?" he said as he pulled something out of his jacket. It was a small bag. It had drugs in it.
Manny couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Sully, what is wrong with you?"
"Geez, chill. This is a decent party." Sully threw the drugs on the table and walked back over to his friends. Manny stared at the bag. Eventually, she slyly took one of the pills out and began to turn and walk back over to the group. But when she saw Emma coming this way, obviously to get a drink, she quickly dropped the drug in one of the already poured drinks and walked past Emma toward JT and Chris.
(A/N: Ah, cliff-hangers. Sorry if you thought the first chapter was plain, but then again it always is. Trust me, there will be more fiascos to read about. Please please please w/ a cherry on top review!)
