After ten seconds Manny broke away from the kiss.

"What the hell was that?" Manny asked impatiently.

"A kiss" JT smiled. "Didn't you like it?"

"Yes, I loved it" she grinned.

Suddenly the bell started to ring. Students piled out of the gym,cafeteria and classrooms and into the hallway.

"I've got to get to Science. I'll meet you after school, out front okay?" JT asked starting to walk away.

"Okay,I'll see you later" Manny said walking in the other direction.

After school Manny and JT met at the front doors.

"Hey" JT beamed.

"Hi" Manny smiled back at.

"So,can I walk you home?" JT asked hoping Manny's answer would be positive.

"Of course" Manny said taking JT's hand into hers.

They walked hand and hand the whole way to Manny's house. They talked about school,book, movies and more. The new couple stopped in front of the gate leading Manny's yard.

"So I'll see you tommorrow?" JT asked.

"Sure thing" Manny answered with a smile.

"Bye" JT said kssing Manny on the cheek.

"See you" Manny said walking into her front yard.

Manny came home to an empty house. She didn't care, Manny was so happy. She had every right to be. The boy that she cared for reutrned her love with a beautifully romantic kiss. After pouring herself a glass of Iced Tea she turned on her Verizon flip phone and called Emma.

"Hello?" Emma said on the other line.

"Hey Em,I've got big news" Manny announced.

"Then spill,I'm all ears" Emma declared with a laugh.

"JT kissed me!" Manny exclaimed.

"Oh my god" Emma said, happy for her best friend "How did it happen?"

"Well I told JT about my feelings for him. I was a little embarassed so I left. But JT just followed me. When we were in the hall he told me that he always loved me. Then it just...happened." Manny informed Emma.

"Wow,that's awesome!" Emma exclaimed

"Listen Em,I have to go. I have tons and tone of homework. I just had to let you know the news." said Manny.

"Well thanks for filling me in. See you tommorrow." Emma said haning up the phone.

Manny closed her phone as she made her way to her bedroom with a smile on her face. She sat at her wood antique desk and started her homework. She worked for the rest on the evening.

The next day JT stood at his locker when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see Emma, smiling at him.

"Hey I heard you locked lips with Manny" Emma announced.

"Yeah..." JT blushed.

"Oh JT that's so cute! I'm am so happy for you!" Emma exclaimed,giving her life long friend a hug.

Just then the bell rang,the students flooded from the hallway into the classrooms. The sound of slamming lockers and students jabbering rang out.

"So Em,I have to get to class" JT announced.

"I'll walk you" Emma said, hoisting her tote bag farther on her shoulder.

"So when are you an Manny going on your first date?" Emma questioned him,folding her arms as they walked down they blue and gold halls.

"Uh..Em..I'm not sure. I mean we just kissed yesterday." JT rambeled.

"So? JT, Manny loves you...a lot...and I know that you love her to" Emma stated, tucking a strand of blonde hair behind her right ear.

"I'm just scared Em. I'm mean off the top of my head I could name about fifty guys who would kill to go on a date with Manny.I don't want to loose her." JT said looking at his feet.

"Yes those fifty guys want her,but does she want them? No,she doesn't, JT. She loves you." Emma said giving JT some of her words of wisdom.

"I guess" JT sighed.

"Then ask her out!" Emma exclaimed,playfully hitting him on his shoulder.

"Okay,I will" JT smiled with a twinkle in his eye.

"Good. I'll talk to you later."Emma said stopping in front of her class.

"Okay,see you" JT said continuing to walk towards his class.

The two parted ways,Emma going to health and JT going to Spanish.
