A great summer vacation away from Degrassi was all Emma needed and she got it as well. But it sadly ended and it was time to go back to school. Emma used to love school because she could see all of her friends and Sean but things changed. Over time Manny and Emma grew to hate each other but then last year things between them got a lot better. It would still be weird going back to school to see her though because she spent the whole summer in California with her aunt. Emma rarely talked to Manny or any of her other friends over the summer.
On her way to school she saw Manny and ran up to her. It was only the first day back to school and already Manny had a boyfriend. What was going on in the world? She asked herself. She started walking with Manny and her new found boyfriend and it was quiet most of the way there until Manny spoke out.
"Hey Em how was your summer?" Manny asked. "It was great. I went to California. Sorry about not being able to call you and everyone else. My aunt said I couldn't make any long distance phone calls." Emma said then she asked Manny a question. "So Manny did you meet anyone besides well whoever this is?" Emma asked making a confused looking face. Manny had a nervous look on her face. "Manny what is it?" Emma asked curiously. "Well you aren't still hung up on Sean are you?" When Manny asked this the boy looked at her strangely and looked like he was kind of ticked off about her asking. "I don't know. First loves never die Manny." Emma said with a smile. As they were walking up the stairs of the school Manny told Emma who her boyfriend was. "Well Em Sean came back a few days ago and well we are kind of um well we are dating." Manny said hoping that she wasn't hurting Emma's feelings. "What? So you mean I just told you first loves never die and Sean Cameron; him –" Emma said point to Sean. "He just heard me?" Emma said. She was a little pissed off. She couldn't believe that she just told her best friend that and that Sean was there to witness it. "Emma don't be mad." Manny begged. "I'm not mad I am just surprised that's all." Emma said with a hint of a smile.
Then Emma went to the office to find out who her homeroom teacher was. She already knew who it was because it was the same person each year but she just had to get away from Manny and most of all she had to get away from Sean. It didn't turn out that way though. Manny and Sean were both in her homeroom. Thankfully neither of them sat next to her or near her for that matter. They thought it would be best to give her some space.
Before homeroom was over, Manny IMed Emma. They only had a few minutes to talk though. Manny decided to make it quick and snappy. She just straight out asked Emma what she had been dreading all summer.
Smiley Girl: Emma I am so sorry. You are not mad or upset with me dating Sean are you? I will dump him if you want me too. You are my best friend and you come before any stupid boy.
Sparkle Spaz: Manny no of course not. I mean he was my first love and you can never forget those but I am not upset or anything. As a matter of fact I like you two together. There is just something about you two together. He will be good for you. And do not dump Sean. He will think it has to do with me still being hung up on him and I am not.
Smiley Girl: Okay Em. Well homeroom is just about over. See you later.
Sparkle Spaz: Bye. Talk to you later on or something.
Then they both signed off. Manny couldn't believe she just told Emma she would have dumped him because that was a big lie. She wouldn't dump Sean for all of the money in the world. They both really cared about each other and that was something Manny never had really experienced. That's why she was glad Emma said she wasn't still hung up on him because if she was that would have sucked. And to have to dump him if Emma wanted her to would suck even more. Emma on the other hand also lied but no one would ever know about that. She couldn't believe Manny said she would dump Sean if she wanted her too. Anyone in their right mind who has the nerve to dump Sean is an idiot. He may not have been the best boyfriend but he was sure a pretty good one especially before he was stealing things and picking on her.
The bell finally rang and Emma had English. When she got into her class she realized that Sean was in there and that he was standing alone. She also realized that on the board it said alphabetical order. When Ms. Kwan put them in alphabetical order Emma noticed that she had passed C and Sean was still not in a seat. Then it was finally down to the last two people who were Emma and Sean. Emma was the last person in her class until Sean came back to Degrassi. His name got added to the bottom of each class sheet which meant that they would be sitting together for the rest of the year. Emma hated it but by the way she looked you wouldn't have thought that.
Throughout the class period Sean tried to talk to Emma but she just kept ignoring him. Not once did she look at him. Well once she did but it was when he wasn't looking. Sean had changed so much since the last time they had seen each other. His hair was a little bit darker and a little shorter too. He was also tanner than before. Sean had also grown a little as well and his body was more muscular than ever. Emma was practically drooling over him. When Sean turned to look at her she snapped her head back to the front of the room and started paying attention to Ms. Kwan. Sean was getting a little frustrated because he wanted to talk to Emma; he needed too.
Finally class was over and Emma rushed out to get to her locker. Sean tried to catch up to her but he stopped when he heard Manny yelling wait up. Emma stopped as well because she thought it was for her so when she turned around and started walking towards Manny she stopped dead in her tracks. Manny didn't yell for Emma to wait up. No instead she was yelling for Sean too. But what made Emma stop dead in her tracks was the sight of them kissing. Out of the corner of Sean's eye he could see Emma. She looked so hurt which made Sean feel like a knife went through his heart over and over. Once again he hurt Emma without intentionally doing so.
Let me know what you think of this so far. Also, I need a good title name. It might take a few more chapters for anyone to actually be able to help me think of a title but if you have one please let me know. Reviews are more than welcome. Good or bad.
