"Love so strong let's you know that we belong
Mistakes are made because I let thoughts in my head get in the way…"
That sucks. Why is song writing so ridiculous…. Hmm maybe if I change the chord progression…
In Detention….
"Alright you two are free to go" Radditch said.
"Thanks Mr. Radditch and sorry about earlier today" Craig said gathering his things
"Sorry" Manny echoed.
"Apology excepted I hope I don't have to see you two in here again"
"No sir." Manny and Craig and left the room and walked down the hall and turned the corner.
"Tag! Your it" Craig said tapping her lightly on the arm and taking off running.
"Uh! I'm so gonna get you!" She runs after him giggling and catches him near the doorway but he gets her back and he picks her up carrying her out of the school over his shoulder. Manny squeals and flails her arms and legs a little. Craig puts her down and stares into her eyes.
Man this is so right…
He leans in and kisses her. He pulls away and smiles at her taking her hand and they run towards the mall till they can't run any further. They collapse on the floor and laughing and breathing heavily next to each other.
"Manny" he said still out of breathe
"Yea?" She said
"Promise you won't freak out?"
"Ok?"
"I… Many I love you" He said turning to her "I think I always have… since the 80s dance, when I date Ash, our first date at the carnival, last year and more than now then ever." He turned on his side so that he was facing her. "I know things haven't gone well between us before but I think it was just bad timing I think right now we're the best for each other right now and…. maybe even… forever" Manny , with tears in her eyes, kissed him. The kissed for awhile. People passing buy stared, somewhere grossed out. Finally they pulled away from each other and looked around noticing the people staring at them with weird expressions on their faces as they passed by. Craig laughed slightly.
"We should probably go watch that movie" Manny smiled as he helped her up.
"Ok" They walked silently in to the mall holding hands walking close together. They selected a movie and took their seats making comments on the previews.
Back at Ash's house…
Ring Ring Ring
Come on pick up the phone Paige…
"Hello?"
"Hey it's me Ash"
"Hey, what's up?"
I can't believe I'm doing this….
"Well I need your help"
"With what?"
"I've been thinking about it and I want Craig back"
"Ok so what do you want me to do?"
"Well I wrote him a song but I need something to wear to… well attract him"
"Well then you called the right person! Meet me at the mall in 15"
"Ok. Oh and Paige, thanks"
"No big deal hun"
At the movie theatre….
"This movie sucks!" Craig said, they were practically alone in the theatre.
"I know"
"I know what we could do instead?"
"Craig, in the theatre?"
"Yea, nobody's here" Manny looked around. "Hey no one's going to see"
"Ok" she said and started to kiss him. An hour and a half later the two of them put there clothes back on as the credits roll. Manny fixes her and with her hands above head and shirt goes up baring her part of her torso. He bent down and kissed the small of her back. She smiled and kissed him and left the theatre.
In the mall…
"Paige, I don't know it's to Barbie and Ken"
"So Barbie has been a best selling item since before we were born"
"Yea but I'm no Barbie. I need something that's still Rock 'N Roll you know?'
"Fine, whatever, where do you wanna go then? YRB?"
"Yea! That'll work"
"Ugh! I loathe that store."
"Oh come on Paige you said you'd help me"
"Fine I'll go but if anyone sees me tell them you brought me here against my own will" Paige said as the left the store and headed for YRB.
In the theatre lobby…
"Well what do you want to do now?"
"Excuse me" A man said walking towards them. Manny and Craig stopped politely and waited for him to reach them. "Did you too just leave theatre number 4?"
"Umm yea why?" Craig said.
"Well we received some complaints…" To Manny it felt like her stomach dropped to the floor when he said that. "about loud noises that suggested some inappropriate activity"
"Well did anyone see anything?" Craig said gulping as beads of swear began to form on his face.
"Well no but…"
"Well you know what happens when people assume…"
"Look I just told that couple over there I would speak to you about it ok and that I would ask you to refrain from said behavior in our theatres in the future."
"Yea sure. Sorry about that" Manny said ending the conversation and pulling Craig away.
