Two weeks later, school was going the same as usual.
During math class, Emma, Manny, Liberty, Chris, JT and Toby were all sitting at the same table.
"This is beyond boring," said Toby.
"I know how you feel Toby. Armstrong never shuts up!" screamed JT.
"Is there something you'd like to add James Tiberius?" asked Mr. Armstrong.
Everyone starts to laugh.
"I prefer JT, thank you very much." said JT.
Manny and Liberty are whispering to each other.
"Do you really like him?" asked Manny.
"I don't know...I kinda do," said Liberty. "What should I do?"
"Just ask him out. Give it a try," said Manny.
"Give what a try?" asked Emma, overhearing them.
"The, uh, math problem on the board." said Liberty.
"Just because you have dyscalculia doesn't mean you're that bad in math," said Emma, laughing.
"Emma, can we please talk?" asked Chris.
"What now?" asked Emma, rolling her eyes.
"I really, really want to start over." said Chris.
"Well I want things to remain the way they are," said Emma.
"Emma, he apologized. You should be at least thankful that someone likes you. For real," said Liberty, tears welling up her eyes.
"Liberty?" asked Emma.
Liberty runs out of the room, crying.
"What's wrong with her?" asked Emma.
"Someone go check on her," said Mr. Armstrong.
Manny goes to the bathroom.
"Liberty, what's wrong?" asked Manny.
"The fact that Chris was flirting with me and now he's trying to get back Emma!" screamed Liberty.
"That doesn't mean anything," said Manny.
Emma walks into the bathroom.
"What's wrong?" asked Emma.
"I just miss Towerz. That's all," said Liberty, wiping her face.
"Well I'll be in class if you need me," said Emma, comforting.
"Thanks," said Liberty. Emma leaves.
"Liberty, the only way you will get his attention is if you start flirting around even more with him," said Manny.
"Without Emma noticing!" said Liberty, laughing.
"Right! But how?" asked Manny.
"I don't know. We'll just figure something out," said Liberty.
At lunch time, Ellie, Marco and Ashley sit together.
"My first test and I got a B!" screamed Marco.
"Marco, it's no big deal. Besides, I got a D." said Ellie.
"That actually makes me feel a lot better," said Marco, laughing.
"That's not funny!" said Ellie, throwing fries at him.
Marco threw them back and they started throwing them back and forth.
"Um, you guys? Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm here too!" said Ashley.
"Yeah we know," said Marco.
"So what's on your mind Ash?" asked Ellie.
"I really wanna forgive Craig. I didn't mean to be so mean to him," said Ashley.
"Craig's over there Ash, go now!" said Ellie.
"I don't know."
"Common, it makes me happy when you're happy!"
"Fine."
Ashley got up and saw Craig sitting at a table with Jimmy and Spinner. She was just about to approach him when someone else spoke.
"Hi Craig. I need to, uh, talk to you. Alone," said Manny.
"Um, sure." said Craig.
Ashley just stood there, frozen.
"We can't keep acting like this."
"Like what Manny?"
"Not talking to each other. It's too awkward."
"I know."
"I know Ashley won't talk to you anymore, but I will. I want to be friends Craig."
"Actually, I can decide that on my own." said Ashley, angry.
"Ashley?" asked Craig.
"I wanted to talk to you for a moment but since you're busy with princess whore I'll just stay out of your way!" screamed Ashley.
"Ash, wait!" screamed Craig. Ashley was already sitting at her table again.
"What is her problem?" asked Manny.
"I guess she can't stand the fact that you're still talking to me," said Craig.
