Chapter 3: Enjoying Coke

Manny hung out after school at Sean's house. Little did they know, Emma and Jay were hooking up down at the ravine. Everyone knew that Emma and Jay always hooked up there, but no one talked about it. That's how Sean and Manny didn't know.

Jay and Emma stopped by Sean's house to hang out. Their definitions of hanging out were drinking and getting high. Emma did drink beer once in a while, but she didn't do any drugs fearing that she would get addicted.

It was so funny when Manny, Sean, and Jay would get high. They would do and say the craziest things.

Manny: Look, I can fly!

She jumped off the chair pretending she had some magic cape that made her fly. She met the ground, face flat down.

Jay: Aww, babe... you are s-s-ooo...

He stumbled over his words.

Jay: hot! You are so hot!

Manny: Thanks, wanna make out!

Jay: Sure!

Those two got so friendly when they got high. Sean just sat there laughing to himself. Who knows what the hell was going on in his head? You wonder how they got away with all this? Jay's parents are alcoholics. They were too busy getting drunk and puking to notice that their song was never home. Emma's parents "trusted" her enough to let her do whatever she wanted to do. Manny's dad left the family because he admitted he was gay and her mom was always out of town on a business trip, just like she was out of town now.

Manny finally went back home at 10PM that night. Craig was in the living room watching some tv, but he was interrupted while watching his show when he heard Manny slam the front door behind her.

Craig: Where have you been?

He went all parental on her, he wanted to make sure she was safe. After all, he cared for her.

Manny: Hanging out with some friends. Is it okay that I have friends?

She was pissed that Craig always had to know where she went. Why does he care so much? She thought. We stopped being friends a long time ago.

Craig: Calm down. Don't be a bitch about it, I was just wondering.

Manny: Well then stop wondering. I don't need you wondering where I am all the time.

Craig: Someone is PMSing.

Manny: Yeah, and that someone is you. Learn to control your male PMS. You are so fucking annoying.

She stormed upstairs into her room. Craig walked upstairs to his room, which was next to Manny's. But when he was on his way there, he stepped on something.

Craig: Cocaine...?

He was confused, what was cocaine doing in the house? Mrs. Santos was out of town and positive she didn't do any drugs. Of course Craig knew it wasn't his. There was only one person left, Manny. He didn't mention anything about finding the cocaine to Manny. If he did, she would just make up some lie or not respond at all if he asked something. She would always try to ignore his questions.

-inside Manny's room-

Manny: Where the fuck is it!

She was so pissed off right now. She lost her coke! Manny started to freak out. She practically needed it! Manny wasn't addicted, she just happened to crave it every few minutes. Manny remembered she had emergency coke, which was hidden way back in her closet where she didn't even go. In this case, losing the coke that she got that day was an emergency. She sniffed some and felt satisfied, then Manny dosed off to sleep.
