Manny and Jimmy were standing by the door outside Manny's first period class.

"Okay Manny meet me at Lunch,I want to talk to you about something."

"Okay I'll see ya then."

Jimmy and Manny gave each other a quick kiss and then Manny walked into her class,and Jimmy left to his.

Manny sat down in her seat at her computer. She glanced over at Emma,and sighed in frustration.Manny decided to write Emma an E-mail apologizing to her.

Hey Emma,

Im sorry for blowing you off yesterday,I really am. I promise that I will never do it again. Please forgive me.I don't want you to be mad at me anymore,your my bestfriend,and I want it to stay that way.

-Manny

A few seconds after Manny sent the E-mail,she looked over at Emma who was reading the E-mail she sent.Emma Looked back at Manny,and smiled.

"I guess I'll forgive you,But you could of just called."

"I know Im really sorry Em."

Emma got up and Moved to an Empty seat next to Manny.

"So what was soo Important yesterday,that you had to forget about me."

Manny Smiled "I was with Jimmy."

"Figures,I knew I should of just went and hung out with Sean yesterday when he called me,but being the good friend I am I was'nt about to blow you off."

"Emma please,I said I was sorry.Dont make me feel any worser."

Emma smiled "Okay Im sorry."

"So do you want to hang out tonight?" Manny asked
"sure."

"great"

setting:at Lunch.

Manny walked into the Cafeteria and quickly spotted Jimmy sitting at a table with Craig,Paige,Hazel,spinner,and Ashley."Of course he has to be sitting with Craig." Manny said quietly to herself.

"Hey Jimmy."

"Hey Babygirl." Jimmy said with a big grin on his face.

Manny glanced at Craig who was talking to Ashley,and sat down next to Jimmy.

"aww look at Degrassi's hottest new couple." Paige said smiling.

"Yeah you too make such a cute couple." Exclaimed hazel.

"Don't we though?" Jimmy said joking

Jimmy gave Manny a big smile and kissed her on the forehead.

Manny glanced over at Craig who was looking at them with a sad look on his face.

"So what did you need to talk to me about?" Manny asked smiling at Jimmy.

"C'mon let's go outside."

Jimmy grabbed Manny's hand and led her outside to a small picnic table.

"Okay so what do you need to talk to me about?"

"Manny, I need to know if you feel the same way for me as I do for you."

"Um...well...I dunno...How do you feel about me?"

Jimmy sighed "Yesterday,when we were at my house,I said that i loved you,but you did'nt say it back."

"Jimmy...I like you a lot,but I don't know if I love you...I mean we have only been going out for a few days,are you even sure if you really feel that way about me?"

"I know, but I really do feel this way about you.Im in love with you. I have never felt this way about anyone before."

"Jimmy thats really sweet but,Im not going to lie to you,I don't love you." Manny replied sadly looking away from him.

Jimmy sat in silence with a hurtful expression on his face,and tears in his eyes.

"Look,I have to go.I'll talk to you later okay." Manny said as she got up from the picnic table and walked away.

At 2:30 the bell rang and all the kids of Degrassi came rushing out of the school headed in all directions.Happy that the school day was finally over.

After school Manny went home and then left to Emma's house.When Manny reached Emma's front door she rang the doorbell and Emma quickly anserwed.

"Hey Emma."

"Manny what's wrong?" Emma asked noticing the sad look on Manny's face.

"Me and Jimmy."

Emma let Manny inside

"What happened? he did'nt break up with you did he?"

"No we did'nt break up,I just kind of made him upset." Manny replied while following Emma into her bedroom.

"well what happened?" Emma asked

"It's a long story but,okay well last night we were at his house and he said that he loved me and I did'nt say it back.Then today he asked me if I did love him,and I said I did'nt,and then he got all sad and looked like he was about to cry,and now i feel horrible."

"Manny,don't feel bad about it. im sure Jimmy will understand.Maybe you don't love him now,but one day you might."

"But Em,How do you know when your in love? you loved Sean did'nt you?"

"I think that you know your in love with someone when you can't picture yourself being with anyone else but them,and when you do imagine what your life would be like without them,it breaks your heart...But Manny,when you do fall in love with someone,you don't need words to explain how you feel,you just know."
