During the entire day, Manny couldn't stand the evil glares Emma had been giving her. She also didn't enjoy the senseless comments about her regained relationship with Craig. During lunch Manny sat outside alone eating an apple and just watching other people communicate.
Manny was sitting on top of a picnic table under a tree and just enjoyed the breeze. Jt came and sat down at the table, "So Manny, getting excited about tonight? It's time to party!"
Manny had a half smile on her face, "Yea, you know me, I'm a party girl."
"So is Craig coming?"
"I don't know, I never asked him."
"Manny, I just want to let you know, that I'll always be your friend."
Manny nodded and took another bite from her apple. She swallowed then jumped off the table, "Well I guess I'll see you later. I'm going to go find Craig."
Manny searched the cafeteria with her eyes for Craig and saw he was eating lunch alone with Ashley. Manny rolled her eyes, "Oh wonderful, my favorite person."
Manny took a deep breath and continue her way and sat down beside Craig and put her arms on his shoulders, "Tonight, party, you and me."
Craig smiled and looked at Ashley, "I'm there."
Ashley licked her lips, "Craig, you do know that Jt is hosting it?"
"Jt's cool, I don't see what's wrong." Craig said with a shrug.
Manny gave Craig a peck on the cheek then looked at Ashley, "Guess you weren't invited huh?"
Ashley stood up and slammed her hands on the table, "I'm so sick of you, Manny." Ashley said almost at a whisper.
Manny removed her arms from Craig's shoulders and put her head in her hands, "I can't believe Ashley is still upset about last year. She needs to grow up."
Manny looked Craig who was sitting silent. "Craig?"
"Manny, I love being with you, but I think that you should try to get along with my friends."
"Okay, but do I have to get along with Ashley?"
Craig took Manny's hand, "If Ash can forgive me, then I think she'll find it to forgive you too. "
Manny leaned back against the chair and folded her arms "Fine, whatever."
"Okay, you seem like you're in a bad mood, so if you want to talk, you come find me." Craig kissed Manny's cheek and got up and left.
Manny sat with her arms still folded. She looked around disappointed. Manny was confused in her thoughts, becoming friends with Ashley is easier said then done. She just wishes that she could take back when she and Craig went out. Even though she knew he was with Ashley, it was a bad idea.. Manny has always been jealous of Craig and Ashley's relationship. But now is different. This time, Craig chose Manny.
Manny just rolled her eyes and stood up. She stood up from her seat and turned around grabbing her bag. She almost immediately felt herself be pushed backwards. She opened her eyes and had half of her body lying on the table. She saw Chris wiping the school lunch off his clothes.
Manny opened her mouth in shock, "Chris, I am so sorry."
The entire cafeteria turned to see the commotion. Manny took a napkin that had fallen off his tray and started helping him wipe the food off, "Chris I am so sorry."
"S'alright, it was your fault."
Manny took a fast breath and sat down, "I hate this."
Chris set the tray and the food that had fallen off the tray on the table and sat down beside Manny, "Are you talking to yourself?"
Manny looked to her left, "No, just thinking."
"About what?"
"Well Craig wants me to become friends with his friends, and the problem is, he mainly wants me to become friends with Ashley. All of a sudden they're just these great friends ever since school started." Manny rolled her eyes just thinking about it.
"I hope that what your going through will go good."
"Chris, I know you well enough to know that you didn't walk up to me to talk about my problems." Manny said with a small laugh.
Chris set his left elbow on the table and faced Manny, "Listen, I want to talk to you about Emma."
"I knew it, go on."
"You see I broke up with her because I heard Melinda wanted me back, which was a total lie. And I still like Emma and everything. But now she's going out with Sean."
"And why are you telling me this?"
"Since Emma made me jealous by going out with Sean..."
"You were hoping to make Emma jealous by going out with me?"
"If you don't mind."
"I kind of have a boyfriend already, and Emma knows that."
"It'll only be for a few days, please Manny, if I go out with you Emma for sure will get mad."
"Yea, mad at me. I'm trying this new thing, for people to forget the past and like me. And Emma hating me, doesn't help."
Chris rolled his eyes and picked up his tray of food, "At least think about it."
Manny did think about it. She did want Chris to be happy, but then she loved Craig. She was so confused. So she decided to ask Craig for permission to do it.
Manny went out in the hall and found Craig strumming on his guitar. Manny sat down beside him, "That sounds really good."
Craig didn't say anything.
Manny cracked her knuckles, "Well, how do I say this, can I go out with Chris temporarily? He wants to get back at Emma, and well, so do I."
Craig looked at Manny, "Are you insane?"
"Chris really wants Emma, and besides it'll only be a few days."
"It's either me or Chris. I don't want to cheat anymore. And i don't want you to cheat on me."
Manny smiled and kissed Craig, "At least I know I can trust you. I guess I'll tell Chris it's a no-can-do."
