I always wanted to do this. I DO NOT OWN ANY DEGRASSI CHARACTERS or actors, If I did, I wouldn't be sitting on my ass writing this, but making Jake Epstein and Mike Lobel my slaves. Hahah. Oh yeah, & all of the chapter titles are named after my favorite songs. The last chapter, "Playing For Keeps" is by Matchbook Romance and this chapter's song title is by Hellogoodbye. Have fun reading.
"I can't wait til prom! I think it's totally awesome that they're letting both the seniors and juniors go." Emma paractically shouted.
"Whatever. We still don't have dates." Manny disappointedly said.
"Why don't you go with JT?"
"We broke up for a reason and he finally got over the fact that we're better off as friends." Manny explained. "Why don't you go with Sean?"
"Manny, you have a better chance of going to prom with him than I do." Emma said looking to the side. "Hey, you could always go with Craig."
"Did you have a brain tumor for breakfast today, Em? Because there is no way in hell I'm ever going to hook back up with 'the stud'."
"Well. He still likes you. He's always looking at you. Oh my gosh, He's looking at you right now!" Manny turns around to see Craig looking straight at her and then ducking into a classroom. The two girls laugh and then Jimmy walks up to them.
"Hey ladies."
Emma and Manny look totally confused. Jimmy's never talked to them before. He once asked Manny to move out of the way in the cafateria. But who would want to remember that?
"Emma, Can I talk to Manny... alone?"
"OH yeahh. Sure. Bye guys." Emma winked.
"So Manny, whatsup?"
"Uhh... nothing. Why?"
"Oh... I've been seeing you around school and I've felt really stupid because high school's almost ending and I've never actually talked to you."
"Maybe we can talk tonight at the Dot?"
"That's a great idea."
"What time should I pick you up?"
"se-" Manny then thought of her parent's reactions. They didn't allow her to date until she was in college and since her little incident with Craig, her parents always looked down on her. "I'll meet you there."
Craig and Spinner were watching them and heard the whole thing.
"Spin, Does Jimmy like Manny?" Craig asked.
"I don't know. That's not very nice though. I mean she's your ex."
"I know. Why is he asking her out now? Is he gonna ask her to go to prom?"
"Yeah. Probably. I mean if I didn't have Paige, I would ask Manny out too."
"Whatever. I gotta find myself a date then." Craig looks around and makes eye contact with no other than, Emma Nelson.
"Hey Craig! I haven't talked to you in forever!"
Craig motioned for Spinner to go away and Spinner followed his wishes. "Hi Emma. I know, time really went by fast. School's almost finished and the prom's coming up. How are you now?"
"I'm fine. It's just been really hectic with all this end of the year stuff."
"So... So how's Manny doing?" Craig stammered. Craig and Emma both looked across the hallway and witnessed a hug between Jimmy and Manny.
"Uh... She's fine. Do you still like her? From what I see, It looks like she might be going with Jimmy though."
"I know... I just have lost touch with her and... I just don't think her and Jimmy are right for each other."
"Yeah, sure... " Emma unconvincingly said.
"So the reason I wanted to talk to you is to... will... I mean... you wanna go to prom with me?" Craig finally let out.
"Me? Are you sure you're asking the right girl? I mean a lot of girls would love to go to the prom with you."
"Yeah, but... will you?"
Emma paused for a moment and Sean came to her mind. After Ellie movied, They had tried getting back together last year, but she caught him and Alex making out at a party. It would kill him to see her looking totally awesome with Craig. It didn't take Emma long to some up with an answer.
"I'd love to! I'll see ya later." Emma responded.
