Manny sat at her usual lunch table starring at her chicken salad. She was to nervous to eat. Today she was going to tell JT about her feelings for him. Her thoughts were interupted by JT plopping his tray down next to hers.

"H-Hey" Manny stammered.

"Hi" JT said scooting into his chair.

They sat in silence for a few minutes.

"We've only had three classes and I already have a boat load of homework." JT sighed.

"Same here." Manny nodded.

"Manny is something wrong?" JT asked curiously.

"N-no,no. Everthing's fine. Nothing's wrong." Manny rambeled.

"Bull shit" JT laughed as he rolled his eyes.

"JT nothing's wrong." Manny lied.

"Manny,you can't lie to me. I've known you for to long." JT reminded her. "It's a guy isn't it?"

"Yeah,it's a guy." Manny said hoping JT would stop asking her these questions.

"Well, who is this idiot?" JT asked. "What guy in this school is stupid enough to not want you?"

"You" Manny said quietly.

"What?" JT asked. "This is a joke right?"

"Yeah, it's a joke." Manny lied as she got up from her seat.

JT followed.

"Manny don't run away" JT said when he caught up from her.

"I have to JT. You don't love me. You never will. You're madly in love with Liberty. I blew it last year" Manny said,eyes tearing as she threw out her trash and walked into the empty halls.

JT still followed her. Her grabbed her shoulder.

"Manny,you're totally wrong. I love you." JT confessed.

"What about Liberty." Manny said turning toward her.

"Liberty and I were a fling. When she broke up with me I finally realized that, you're the one I love. Do you want to know how I'm sure?" JT asked, he then grabbed Manny and kissed her flat on the lips in the middle of Degrassi's halls.
