"Are you ok?" Manny asked me. I was sitting against my locker thinking about my mom and how she was doing. I missed her.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm just...thinking, about stuff, ya know?" She nodded sitting down next to me.
"Do you ever think about death? I mean, not death, just...the afterlife? Do you like believe in all that stuff about ghosts roaming the earth haunting people?" I shook my head no.
"No, ghosts aren't real. I mean, I'm sure there's life after death, but just not on earth. You're either in Heaven or Hell, this or that."
"Don't be so sure."
"What's that mean?" I asked, I wanted Manny to be my friend, but she just acted so strange sometimes.
"Nothing. Nothing, um, I'm gonna go, bye." She said hurrying off. I'd been at Degrassi for about two weeks now and Manny always seemed in a hurry. And come to think of it, she wore the same thing everyday. She could've been one of those people who buy ten of everything, but it was still strange.
"How's life down there?" Emma asked from up above me.
"Shutup." I said getting up.
"Just kidding. What's up?"
"Nothing, I'm just worried about this girl I know, she's like become my best friend, but she acts weird." Emma looked down sadly.
"No, I didn't mean you! You don't act weird—"
"It's not that, it's just, when you mentioned best friends, I thought about someone I've tried to forget."
"Sean?" Emma laughed.
"No, not Sean, even though he's hard to forget too."
"When's he getting out anyway? I wanna meet him."
"Oh, he's only serving 6 months, he should be out in about a month." Sean, Emma's ex boyfriend was sent away a couple of months ago, she still liked him, I could tell, but I never said anything, she seemed happy with Chris.
"Wanna come over? I have to baby-sit Jackass so I need company." I laughed. Jack was Emma's two year old brother, he was so bad but adorable.
"Aw, he's two, what do you expect?"
When we got to her house, Emma's mom, who asked me to call her Spike (isn't that cool?), was rushing out the door. She works a lot, Emma told me ever since her dad died her mom worked a lot. That really sucked, I mean, I know how it is. That's probably why Emma and I are so close; we've both lost our fathers, I'm just glad her mom didn't go crazy like mine did.
"Jack! What are you doing?!" Emma cried out. Jack was covered in chocolate syrup and was wrapping himself in toilet paper.
"Mummy! Mummy!" Jack yelled. It was always fun watching Emma chase after her little brother, it was very amusing.
I was going upstairs to the bathroom when I swear I saw a flash of Manny going down the basement stairs and into Emma's room. I went downstairs to investigate but she wasn't there. I did however, find an old Degrassi yearbook. 2003-2004 year.
"Cammy? Where are you?" Emma asked.
"You're room." Emma came in and saw what I was looking at.
"Oh God, not the yearbook. Well, at least you haven't found my 7th grade yearbook, I burned that one." I laughed. We flipped through the pages and Emma pointed out people for me. Sean was hot, very hot, but not my type.
"Aw, Manny looks pretty." Emma face suddenly changed. She grabbed the yearbook from me and put it away.
"Emma?" What a bitch.
"Don't mention Manny, okay? Just don't." I nodded. Ok, I had 3 letters for her P-M-S. Geez.
"I'm gonna go." I said going upstairs, stopping to pat Jack on the head.
"Cammy!" I smiled. Jack was a sweetheart. I grabbed the chocolate syrup and paper towels.
"Give her hell Jacky." I said dropping them on the floor for him to pick up. No one yells at Camille Van Zandt.
