Two Hearts :Four minds

Cracking a smile as she stared off into the distance, Emma began giggling as she looked at Manny. Suddenly her face turned a deep shade of blue before she began shuddering, trying to suppress an overload of laughter. Raising her eyebrow at her friend, Manny began to slide over away from Emma, only to be rewarded with a series of louder giggles and snickers that sounded muffled. Clucking her teeth, Manny slammed her pencil down, making the ink from it smear her math classwork and looked at her friend with an irriated gesture of her eyes. Blushing, Emma a sorry and Manny turned around looking satisfied since words didn't have to be spoken. But as soon as she picked up the pencil, Emma exploded into giggles and put her face under her desk to try to not make it sound so loud. With a sigh of exasperation, Manny slapped Emma on her back, making her friend yelp and begin giggling harder.

"Emma Nelson what in the world is wrong with you? The one day I want to do work, you won't stop laughing." Emma looked at her friend with a serious note, and once Manny was done her face broke and she began giggling again. Rolling her eyes, Manny turned and tried to block out Emma.

"I'm…I'm sorry Manny…" Emma sputtered in between giggles.

"I can tell you mean it. I'm so intrigued by your giggling." Manny said sarcastically. Emma sighed as her laughter died down and she picked up her pencil to start her work.

"Great. I'm glad your sugar overload is done. So, what did you and Sean talk about?"

"How'd you-"

"You have a look on your face. That's how I can tell he called you even if you didn't tell me." Manny said not glancing up from her paper. Clucking her teeth as she checked her answer, she flipped her pencil around and began to erase it. Emma blushed as she watched her hard working friend. There had to be hundreds of times Sean called her and she didn't tell Manny. She wondered why Manny never said anything. Sometimes she was glad that Manny never said anything. A lot of times she never wanted to tell anyone about the conversations her and Sean had.

"Well, I wonder why you never pester me about it." Emma mumbled instead. " Well, even though him and El broke up, he still wants to go to the dance. As a date." Manny giggled and clasped her hands together.

"Ok, we are totally going to give you a major makeover. Good-girl was so two years ago."

"Well if you must know I like being a…hey!" Manny smiled as she began focusing on her work again.

"Manny, I want to dress like you did."

"What?"

"I want the makeover you had. I want to be sexy like you."

Craig shifted uncomfortably in his seat as he stared at the clock. Twenty minutes before I can see Manny. He thought before swearing that the clock was going extremely slow today. The teacher picked up the paper, and frowned, before whispering that Craig had to focus more before moving on.

"Why are you so fidgety?" Marco whispered coolly. Craig jumped a little and smiled as his friend began giggling.

"No reason. So, the dance.."

"Sorry, I'm going with Dylan." Marco said playfully. Craig rolled his eyes as him and Marco began talking the rest of the period.

"So, you and Manny. Suicidal." Marco commented with a frown, ignoring the incredulous stare his friend was giving him.

"What? Ok, so she dated Spinner. But we care about each other."

"Whatever you say. Just, be careful ok? You're my friend, and I don't want you to get hurt." Marco said as he packed his stuff, rising to leave immediately after the bell rang. Craig watched as everyone filed out before leaving himself. Instead of rushing to the cafeteria, he rushed to Manny's class, to be greeted by two blushing girls.

"Hi Craig." They said in unison.

"Emma. Manny. What's wrong? It looks like you two were watching something you had no business watching." Emma blushed at the slight tease that was a private joke for her and Craig and fixed her gaze on the ground. Manny rolled her eyes and looked at Craig.

"Nothing. Em is going to get a makeover for Sean." She said cutting her eye at her friend, smiling as her face darkened dangerously. Craig smiled and whistled.

"Ok. I expect her to be dazzling Manny. How about we eat lunch, the four of us?" Craig asked notcing Sean walking towards them.

"Hey Craig. Hey Manny. Hey Emma." Sean said casually. Emma smiled and waved as Manny nodded her head.

"Sean, how about lunch with the ladies?" Craig said slyly, winking his eye at them. They giggled and rolled their eyes.

"Sure. I don't see why not." Sean smiled at Emma as she blushed and grew quiet. They walked through the littered halls of Degrassi, trying desperately to head outside. They dodged stray paper balls, as well as groups of boys running down the halls, knocking people out of the way in the process. A couple of times, Sean had to help Emma when she stumbled, and Manny actually got bustled away from the group for a little while. When they headed outside, they were relieved and they headed to the farthest-and safets table that they could find after they got their food.

"So, what are you wearing for the dance Craigster?" Sean said teasingly as he bit into his sandwich. Craig shrugged as he sipped his juice. He waited till it was down his throat before speaking.

"I don't know. Haven't exactly asked Joey yet. You?" Sean shrugged and took a bite of his sandwich again. Emma and Manny exchanged glances and giggled-though Emma louder than Manny until the boys looked at them.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing." They said in unison. Craig and Sean looked at each other and shrugged before they ate in silence. Manny and Emma had a silent conversation of their own. A boy would walk by, and Emma would nudge her head to him. Manny would smile, and when he walked by, act like she was getting up to go after him. A couple of times she reached over and lightly pinched his butt, though they never did anything but smile and blush. Emma giggled uncontrollably as Manny did these things, completely unaware of the jealousy growing in the two boys. Sean looked at Craig, who was intently stabbing his spork angrily into the foam tray. Sean took a piece off and began chewing it until someone finally tried to talk to Emma. That's just when he couldn't take anymore.

"Hey there beautiful." The boy said, sitting next to Emma on her free side. Emma smiled.

"

Hello there. Do you need something?"

"Yes. I need your phone number." He smiled as Emma blushed, and deliberately ignored the glares Sean was giving him. Manny tried to say something, but Emma ignored her, just focusing on the boy.

"You're a trip you know that?"

"I'm glad you like me too. My name is Adam. I was wondering, if you would like to go to the dance with me Emma."

"You know my name?"

"I've been watching you from afar. I've only been here for about 6 weeks."

"Your that new kid Paige was telling me about. Seems you have a fan club already." Emma said with an exasperated sigh. He smiled and nodded. Emma sighed.

"Yeah, I know, and I was hoping I could be a part of yours?" He said, deliberately giving Sean a daring glare out the corner of his eye. Sean growled and he grinned slightly as he focused his attention back to Emma. "So would you like to go to the dance with me?"

"I-"

"Sorry she can't. She's taken." Sean said out of nowhere. Manny sighed and put her head down. Craig did the same, for the knew what was going to happen.

"All hells about to break loose." Manny whispered. Craig nodded as Manny got up and sat next to him, for fear if Sean started swinging she would get hit.

"Wait for it…Wait for it…" Craig nudged on as he watched. Adam stared at Sean, who had now gotten up and yanked Emma away form him, with anger.

"So, are you her boyfriend?"

"Huh? I er…uh…"

"Um yea I didn't think so."

"Look Mister. Why don't you say I break you into Degrassi policy right here?" Sean said cracking his knuckles.

"If it has anything to do with Emma I'm all for it." He said as he winked at Emma. Emma blushed.

"There! He did it! That's the end of the new kid!" Craig said excitedly. Manny rolled her eyes.

"Me thinks your excited about this?"

"It's not everyday someone gets an official Cameron beatdown. I left my camera in my locker!" Craig said as he put his head down angrily. Manny sighed and looked at Sean, who was ready to swing.

"Why you little-"

"Sean! Stop!" Sean looked back at Emma, who's face looked like it was going to be permanently red. She stepped in front of the two boys who glared at each other.

"Adam, I'm sorry, but me and Sean are dating." Nodding in understanding, he kissed her on the cheek before dodging the apple being aimed at his head by Sean.

"Ok Emma. But if he ever does ya wrong, just know that I love you." Walking away, Emma watched Adam's back as Sean began swearing under his breath and staring daggers into her cheek where Adam kissed her. She sat down, avoiding the look Sean was giving her.

"So…I guess, no Cameron beatdowns for the memories?" This earned Craig stares from everyone, as well as a slap upside the head by Manny.

Saturday evening, Emma looked at herself in her new dress and sighed. Two more days until the dance, and she was nervous like it was ten minutes until it actually happened. Her mother walked in and rolled her eyes.

"Emma, I catch you wearing that one more time and I'll wear it on my date with your father." She breathed as she sank down on her bed, grabbing her stomach. She was pregnant once more, and she didn't need to be walking around as much as she was. Looking at her mother, Emma shook her head as she looked at herself once again.

She had on a baby blue thigh length tube top dress. Her mother said that she didn't have to wear a jean jacket, but she would feel better if she did. It helped her eyes shine like the sea, and she had glitter in her long blonde hair. Smiling as she twisted and turned, she finally took of her dress and hung it up, before changing back into her pajama pants and shirt. Placing her hand on her mother's stomach, Emma smiled as she began talking to the baby.

"Em, I understand your growing up. And you would tell me if you were doing anything right?" Emma nodded and narrowed her eyes at her mother.

"Yeah, why?" Her mother shook her head and grunted as she stood up.

"No reason. Just checkin in." Manny sighed as Emma clicked back over.

"So, that's what she said? I wonder why she thinks your having sex."

"I don't think that she thinks that I'm having sex, I just think that she was just checking, making sure we were close enough so that I could tell her." Manny clucked her teeth as her mother began raving about how she didn't clean her room.

"I wish my mother was that understanding. I'm gonna call you back." Emma hung up and stared at the T.V screen as Paige called her. Surprised, she picked up the phone.

"Hello. Nelson-Simpson Residence. Emma speaking."

"Hey hun. Just wanted to check if you were still coming to the dance."

"Yeah, and why do I have a feeling you're a part of this whole jealousy thing between Sean and Adam?"

"Because I am. I didn't realize you two were back on. This should prove to be entertaining no?" Emma rolled her eyes as she stood up and walking into the kitchen. "So what are you wearing hun?" Shfting the phone so that it rested on her shoulder, Emma turned on the tap water and set a glass near the sink as she put her back to it and leaned against it.

"It's a surprise." She said as she took one of Jack's cups of the countertop and put it into the sink. Rolling her eyes as she filled her glass three times and swallowed down the water, she began washing dishes as Paige talked about her outfit, which was incredibly boring to her.

"Well, Adam seems interested. There's nothing wrong with having something to fall back on if plan B doesn't A." Catching the glass she just cleaned before it fell on the floor and placing it safely in the dishrack, Emma snorted.

"Huh. Sean'll kill him." Paige giggled as she heard a dish break and Emma mumbled under her breath.

"I hear Sean's going to be wearing a tux." Paige winced as it sounded like the whole kitchen caved in. Emma gasped as she turned of the water, forgetting all about her self given chore.

"Really? I don't think he's going to look right." She opened up the fridge and took out a slice of cheese. Sniffing it before she nibbled on one corner of it, she walked into the living room and took a seat on the couch.

"I don't know. But we'll find out!" Paige said excitedly. Emma laughed Paige began singing. "I'm going to have to call you back hun." She said sweetly. Smiling, Emma hung up as her mother came downstairs and sat next to her.

"So daughter. What's the lastest gossip?" Her mother said sarcastically as she rubbed her belly. Smiling, Emma began rubbing her belly as well.

8:88:888:88:8

Sean groaned as he looked at the kitchen. When was the last time he actually did the kitchen. When Ellie lived with him true, but he doesn't think he cleaned ever since she left him. Feeling himself being dirty and all out gross, Sean opened the window and took a deep breath as he walked into the bathroom to get out a pair of gloves. Sighing as he pulled them entire his whole hand, Sean put a bandana over his head as he took of his long sleeve shirt, being in just his wife beater. Sighing as he pulled his pants up to prevent them from falling off, he felt it best as he took them off, being in just his boxers.

Going into his room, he put all his dirty clothes into a hamper and put the hamper by the door. Taking off his sheets from his bed, he wrinkled his nose, balled them up and tossed them into the hamper as he flipped the bed. Taking off the pillow cases, and throwing them was well as the blanket by the other sheets, he placed crisp clean ones on there after he straightened up his dresser. Picking up the dishes and putting them in his collection of a growing disgusting mass, he began vacuuming the floor as he hummed to himself. Once his room was finished, he headed on to the bathroom.

Seeing as he kept the bathroom up, all he had to do was clean the tub fron this morning, as well as the mirror, and if he wanted, to disinfect the sink. Picking up a bottle of Clorox bathroom cleaner, he cleaned everything with a smooth surface, making sure to get around the toilet. Once he finished in there, he headed onward to the living room. Man this is hard work. He thought as he picked up more dishes and everything that didn't belong on the ground. Once this was done, he vacuumed, until only one room was left. The kitchen.

Stepping inside, he took the broom as he flicked on the light and began slowly sweeping the floor. Sighing as he bent down and used the dustpan to dispose of the dirt, he turned and began washing the dishes. Feeling bored, he began humming to himself his favorite songs louder than he had to. Once he was done this, he fell onto the couch, noting that his house looked bigger, and smelt better than it ever had before.

Now the way I kept it up was just pitiful. He thought as he scowled and closed his eyes, falling asleep.

8:88:888:88:8

Emma sighed as she stepped onto Sean's porch. She had decided to visit him, find out what he was wearing since evidently Paige had no idea what was happening. Knocking on the door, she turned to leave when Sean, looking half sleep, (and half dressed) opened the door. Blinking in complete mesmoration as well as confusion, she walked in as Sean stepped out of the way. Sitting on the couch, he sat next to her, rubbing his eye and yawning like a little kid. Looking around, she smiled. Gasping as her eyes fell on his lap, she felt her face heated up.

"Well, it seems you did a little winter cleaning." Sean grinned and nodded his head as he looked around. Suddenly his gaze followed Emma's, and his reminder of his dream showed even more as her mouth fell open as her eyes practically fell out of the sockets.

A/N

Me senses a lemon no? No but really, if you want something, than I can make it, or it can be a dream or what. Tell me what you want by e-mail. I don't think Emma's ever come in contact to one of 'those' before. Let's see how she reacts.
