Manny Goes Over Board
Chapter 4: Lunch Hour
Manny came to school looking like she saw a ghost. She had put on so much dark makeup she looked like Ashley. Craig sneaked up behind her and tapped her shoulder. "Hey Twinkle Toes. What's the matter?" Manny looked up at Craig. "It's nothing. I just had a bad weekend. Nobody likes me anymore except boys. None of my friends talk to me anymore." Craig made on of those puzzled looks. "I'm sorry Ash-Manny. I didn't know. So, uh, what class do you have next?" Manny was barely listening so she went on. "I just think I should patch up with all of my friends. I can't take it. Emma has been mad at me since before. But I can't believe what she called me." Craig pointed at Emma. "Maybe you can talk to her now."
Manny slowly walked up behind Emma. "Emma. Hi." Emma turned around and nodded. "Emma, we really need to talk. Can you please sit by me at lunch?" "Sure" Manny turned around with a "Yes!"
"What time is it? What time is it?" Manny turned around in her seat to find a working clock. "Only ten more minutes till lunch. Only ten more..." Manny's teacher was looking at her. "Are you okay dear?" Manny nodded. As soon as the bell rang, she was the first person out of class. She jammed her things into her locker and jetted to the lunch room. "Em! Emma!" Manny speed walked over to where Emma was sitting. "So, what did you want to talk to me about?" "Emma, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you and all. It's just that...Well, I wanted attention. I wanted Craig." Emma turned to Manny. "I understand. But I am still angry at you. Why did you call my house at twelve o'clock p.m.? My mom was pretty ticked off." "You really hurt my feelings Emma. I can't believe what you wrote about me. And out of all the people, too." Manny made two little tears. "Manny, I wasn't up at twelve. You know my mom is strict about the computer." Manny looked at Paige who was laughing at Jimmy. Then she glanced at Liberty who was helping JT study with flash cards. Emma, talking with her mouth full pronounced, "I think we should be friends again. It's hard not to go to your locker and tell you all the reviews on the Save the Earth Program." Manny nodded at Emma's words then walked towards Liberty.
"I know it was you Liberty. Was it you that was spying on me? Huh?" Liberty slowly swerved around. "Excuse me Manny, but I am trying to help Starry Eyes over here, and I have no clue what you're talking about." Manny started to get aggravated. "Does the word slut mean anything to you?" Manny pulled out the message from Saturday. Liberty looked at the note. "I live behind the school; you live seven blocks in front. Why would I walk that far to spy on you?" Manny then knew who it was...
