At Degrassi the next day, Jt slowly and quietly sat in his seat and stares at where Manny's seat was.
Mr. Simpson walked in and Jt turns his chair to face him. Standing beside Mr. Simpson was an angelic vision (in Jt's eyes). A tall, slender, brunette, blue eyes, girl smiled as she looked around.
"This is Rosetta Ronalds. Would you like to tell them about yourself Rosetta?"
Rosetta stepped forward with a cheerful smile, "Well my name is Rosetta, I'm Italian and from Italy. My name means little rose. I love art and singing and I'm very happy all the time."
Mr. Simpson pointed at Manny's used-to-be seat, "Thank you Rosetta, you may sit there."
Rosetta gracefully walked over to her assigned seat and smiled at everyone as she passed. Emma turned her chair to her, "nice to meet you, I'm Emma."
"Hi Emma."

Ashley sat down at the lunch table with Ellie and Sean, "You know Ellie, Jt is pretty hurt by Manny leaving.""He'll be fine, I mean, Manny is nothing more then a one night stand."
"Ellie!"
Sean laughed and cut in the argument, "Ashley, geez calm down. You know Manny was with Craig when he was your boyfriend. Why all of a sudden you're sticking up for her?"
"Well Sean, she is a person and not a boy toy."
"Well someone has to be it."
Ashley picked up her soda and poured it all over Sean, "That better have taught you a lesson to not talk about girls like that!" Ashley walked off with the whole cafeteria laughing and taking pictures of Sean
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
Jt slowly approached Rosetta, "Hi, I'm Jt."
"Oh hi, I saw you in homeroom, nice to meet you. Hey how about we go The Dot, we passed, my mother and me, while driving?. I hear it is a cool hangout."
"Uhhh... Sure sounds... great."
"You know you can say no if you want." Rosetta said still smiling.
"I'll be there. Well... on second thought, I'll take a rain check."
"Okay, but here's my number if you decide to change your mind." Rosetta gave Jt her number and winked as she walked to her enxt class.
-In Washington-
Manny went to the kitchen of her new home and saw her mom making breakfast.
"So Manuela, it is your first day of school."
Manny sat down at the table feeding Alex, "Yea."
Her mom down at her, "What is with your clothes? Why did you change?'
Manny was wearing a normal pair of jeans and a large t-shirt, "Mom, I want friends, I don't want to look like a prostitute." Manny stood up and left for school.
When she got there, she was wandering the large schools halls. She finally found her locker. There was a girl at her locker which was beside Manny's locker, "Are you new?"
Manny looked at her, "Yea."
"So where you from?"
"Canada."
"Wow, up there. I'm Melody."
"Manny."
"So, tonight I'm having a party at my place, you interested? Here." Melody gave Manny an invitation with directions to her house.
"Sure. I'll be there.'
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
Ashley sat outside on the steps gazing at all the different people. Craig then sat down beside her, "So, Manny is gone."Ashley rolled her eyes, "Yea, so. What do you want Craig? Where's Jordan."
"Getting some water. She can't keep her hands off."
"Yea and you can't keep your hands off of anyone."
"Ash what is your problem. I'm trying to talk to you."
Ashley stood up and smacked Craig, "Craig, you don't care for anyone but yourself!"
"See Ash, this is it!"
"What?"
"This, you, this is the reason i cheated on you. Bitch." Craig touched his face where Ashley sleeped him. Ashley quickly ran off again.
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
Manny was in her room deciding how to dress for the party later that night. She pulled out a loose pair of jeans and a large red shirt and laid it on her bed. She also took out a small denim mini skirt and a halter top from out of her closet and laid it next to her other outfit. Manny stood there staring at whicht outfit to choose.
If she chose the 'large' outfit, no one would label her as a slut.
But she wanted to make friends and have a good time, so if she chose she 'sexy' outfit, she'd fit in with others.
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
Jt was lying on his bed staring at the blankness of his ceiling. His thoughts wondered off to memories he had with Manny. A memory dawned on him, it was before she changed her attire.
Emma looked at Jt and Manny, "Come on guys, you said that you would ply the parts of Romeo and Juliet."
Manny started laughing, "Yea but I didn't think Jt would be my Romeo."
Emma crossed her arms, "Manny, the kiss only lasts for like two seconds."
Manny looked at Jt in his eyes. She leaned in and kissed him.
Emma smiled, "Only two seconds."
But only after a second Manny pulled away laughing hard, "Ew jt, what is with the horrible breath?"
Jt pulled out garlic from his pocket, "I used this."
Manny collapsed in Jt's lap laughing hard and asking Emma to get her some soda fast.
Jt laughed as he thought about how Manny looked so happy.
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
Manny knocked on the door to the addressed house to where the party was. Melody opened the door and checked out Manny's outfit. "Hot outfit babe."
Manny walked through the door with a big smile as the guys turned to stare. Manny brushed her denim mini after some guys tripped and spilt chips everywhere.
A guy with blonde shaggy hair and blue eyes approached Manny, "Hey girl, I'm Jake. And you?"
"Manny."
"That's a unique name. But exotic non the less."
Manny laughed as he extended out his hand, "Care to dance."
"Sure."
Melody grabbed Manny from the crowd, "oh my god, do you know who you're dancing with?"
Manny was still dancing around, "Yea, Jake. He's pretty hot isn't he?" Manny went back and started dancing with Jake again.
Jake put his hands on her waist and led her a couch in the crowded living room. Manny sat down beside him, held him face and started kissing him.
Melody interrupted and handed them a bottle of beer.
Jake watched as Manny finished her 7th bottle, "Manny, you're a party animal."
"Yea I am." Manny grabbed Jake's wrist and led him to a bedroom and closed the door for complete privacy.

Ashley was over at Jimmy's place, "I'm sorry for just walking out on you, I had a rough day."
"It's alright. We're alone now."
"Jimmy where do you see you and me going?"
"Look Ash, I don't understand it, but I'm falling head over heels for you all over again."
Ashley's eyes got wide at the thought of her and Jimmy being a couple again. "Well Jimmy, I guess we can try again."
Jimmy smiled and leaned in to kiss Ashley, but she pulled away, "This is a little weird for me, so please Jimmy, don't go so fast."
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
Jt looked at Rosetta's number thinking that maybe he should call. Manny is never going to come back; I can't waste my time thinking about her. Jt picked up the phone and called her.
"Ronalds residence, speaking?"
"Hey Rosetta this is Jt from school."
"Jt, hey, I'm so glad you called. So tomorrow?"
Jt looked back at a picture of Manny that was sitting on his lamp stand, "tomorrow."
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
Ashley got home from Jimmy's and pulled out her diary from her under her cold pillow.
Dear Diary,
All that I can say is that Jimmy and me are back together. Scary. But who knows, this may work, but I just don't feel a connection between us. Only time will tell.
Ashley sighed and put her diary back in its hiding place.
