A/N The last part of the chapter might seem slightly harsh, but since I'm not a big fan of this girl I figured "Hey it's my story I can do whatever I want." P.S. PLZ read & review.

And now ladies & gents I present to you….

Rumors & Truths

The next day at school rumors started to fly, and the only ones with no idea were their subjects.

Walking down the hall Manny heard whispers, and saw eyes she had never seen on her look in her direction. 'This is just the Craig problem all over again. It happens everyday.' She told herself.

Then she crossed the other subjects' path.

"Hey Manny."

"Oh, hey." She said starting to turn away.

"Wait please." Hearing the pleading in his voice she couldn't help, but oblige.

"What is it Craig?"

"Do you know what everyone is talking about today?"

"Yeah I figure it's the same old triangle crap."

"That's what I thought."

"Bye."

She knew in her heart it was mean to blow him off so fast, but she wanted nothing to do with him anymore. At least that's what she fooled herself into thinking….

"So J.T. how was your date?"

"Danny, this is none of your business."

"Oh come on man were buds."

"Fine, all we did was talk nothing else."

"Are you joking? A girl magnet like you?"

"No I'm not and I loved every minute of it, and I believe she did too."

"She could have been faking I mean have you heard what people are saying they are even starting to talk about you."

"What are you talking about?"

"Dude your dense. People are talking about how fast Manny moved from Craig, breaking him, and Ashley up, to next moving onto you."

"That's ridiculous. Isn't it?"

Craig opened the door to his garage/bedroom not expecting what was there.

"W…" "What are you doing here?"

"Is there a crime against seeing an old friend?"

"Look, I don't want to…"

But, before he knew it she was kissing him, and not letting go.

Pushing back he was shocked.

"What was that for?"

"Oh Craig, I figured that the past would blow over, and we could get back together."

"Not a chance. I don't love you, and if you want the truth…"

"Of course."

"I never really did."

"What?"

Not believing what she was hearing Ashley stormed out of the garage in tears, and Craig fell on his bed with a smile across his face glad he finally let his true feelings out.
