Chapter 20 - War Wounds

He looked down the hall, to where she was. He could see her spreading the lip gloss across her soft lips. He remebers the smell of the one she used to use. Cherry. He shook the thoughts out of his head and begin to walk to her.

"Buisness. its just buisness" He said to himself before aproaching her.

"Manny. Hey." He said touching her arm softly. She smiled and looked towards him.

"Hi" She said turning back around to face her locker.

"You dont seem to happy to see me." He said trying to make a joke.

"Oh im sorry. You want me to be like. Oh My God Craig I missed you so much?" Craig just looked at her, she was never so snappy or at least with him.

"Neways. Um I saw you at "Factory" the other night."

"Okay and?"

"Well i took some pictures, and you happend to be in some of them."

"Oh my god if you show anyone i swear...," Manny said.

"No need to get violent. But Um i kinda already showed them to somone, well not really showed them, he was kinda..." Craig was cut off.

"Who all saw them?" Manny asked.

"Just Kyle, my boss"

"Why would your boss be looking at pictures of me?" Manny asked folding her arms.

"Like i said before he was spying but umm he liked them" He said.

"Okay wait back up first. Where do you work? And why would your boss liking my pictures be important enough to squeeze me into your life?"

"I work at a magazine, well i work for a guy who works for a magazine. And he wants you to come into meet him" Craig said.

Manny looked at him. "Um is this some phsyco that i should be worried about?" Manny asked getting her old sence of humor back.

'Um iono, wait no. He thinks you'd be a good model." Criag said,

"Oh My God, really?" Manny said,

"Yeah" He said.

"Well im grounded for two weeks, but after that ill go." She said, closing her locker.

"Okay ill tell him that." Craig said. There was an awkward silence. Luckily the bell rang so it was easier to leave for both of them.

.XxX.

" What three? Or is it four months now?" The girl said form across the hall as Emma walked by.

"Excuse me?" Emma said stopping in her tracks.

"How much longer till were blessed with yet another Hogart jackass on this earth?" The girl said.

"Not that its any of your buisness. But im not pregnant."

"What you kill it to? Damn i guess sluts really do travel in pairs."

"How nice of you to bring up you and Amy? How is she now? Sleeping with your new boyfriend?." Emma said.

"Bitch" The black head girl said before lunging at Emma.

They fought for a good five mintues. Before any teacher, noticed a group of people surrounding a paticular part in the hallway.

"Emma, get over there." The teacher yelled. while restraining Alex from going after Emma some more. Emma could feel the blood runing down her face, She knew it was coming from her nose and really didnt care. All she could do was look at Alex from across the hall, staring at her with her almost black eyes, wanting her to die. She seemed so untouchable, mabey not in a real sence, but in a way she was. She wastn't the one beeing restrained by a techer. was she? No.

They both had their fair share or scratches and bruises. If you had watched the fight the winner would be clear. Yes, Alex definitly had her good shots and moves. But Emma was on a whole other level. It was nothing compared to the fight during grade nine between them. It was like a diffrent Emma that no one knew or really ever care to meet. Yet to her it was kind of refreshing.

.XxX.

"Damn, you took a beating didnt you?" Jay asked touching her bruised cheek.

"Ouch Jay!" Emma said swatting Jays hand away form her face.

"Whats your problem?" He said.

"Nothing. Can you just take me home?" She said, looking out the window.

"Fine. Whatever." He said, speading away towards Emma's house.

"I'll call you later" Emma said after giving Jay a quick kiss on the cheek and stepping out of the car.

"Yeah" Jay said waiting for Emma to get in the house before leaving.

Jay didn't know why Emma was being so bitchy. Usuhally beating up someone would make you happy, or at least it did for him, but then again Jay and Emma have many diffrences.

A/N: Hey! umm iono what to say. But i have to go to school so. Please review!
