Chapter 4
Written By Degrassicutie1
Liberty is walking to school the next morning and passes by Jay, Alex, Sean, and Towerz.
"Well well, if it isn't Loser Van Zandt!" screamed Jay.
"That sounds so pathetic," said Liberty.
"Wow. Did you hear that? Liberty actually talked like a normal kid. Amazing!" said Jay.
Sean and Alex laugh.
"Towerz. Long time no see. Are you still afraid to confront me?" asked Liberty.
They all look at Towerz.
"How can I be afraid of some little grade 10 like you? Don't play yourself." said Towerz.
"You couldn't even dump me in person and now you're acting all tough because your friends are here. You're very two-faced Towerz," said Liberty.
Jay laughs.
"Is this loser telling the truth or what?" asked Alex.
"Course not! Look, just face it. It's over!" said Towerz.
Liberty walked away, upset.
"Hey Liberty," said Chris. "Are you okay?"
"Fine. Nothing happened," said Liberty.
"No, I mean yesterday. You were pretty upset," said Chris.
"I guess I was just caught up in a moment with Towerz or something," said Liberty, lying.
"Oh...well, I hope everything turns out okay." said Chris.
"Yeah. Look, don't push things with Emma. Just let it go. If she can't see you for who you really are, then maybe she isn't the one for you. You'll find the right person when the time is right. Who knows, it could be any time soon!" said Liberty.
"Huh?" asked Chris, confused.
"Oh nothing. Just trying to give you some comfort the same way you did for me," said Liberty.
"Oh, okay. Well, see you around." said Chris.
"See ya," said Liberty.
Liberty Van Zandt! How could you have done something so stupid, thought Liberty. You practically TOLD him you like him, only without names!
"Ashley, we need to talk." said Craig.
Ashley keeps walking.
"Ashley! Just give me a sec." said Craig.
"Fine, but I'm timing you." said Ashley.
"Yesterday, Manny and I were talking about starting over as just friends, nothing more. I was going to talk to you too about something else. I think you two need to get along again too," said Craig.
"I can forgive you Craig, but I won't dare forgive Manny ever again. You can tell her that directly!" said Ashley, leaving.
Craig sighs.
"So she said no, huh?" asked Manny.
"I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry! I'm sorry I had to get involved with you in the first place!" screamed Craig. He then leaves.
I guess that leaves all the blame to me, said Manny. As usual, this is like a routine.
"So you almost told him?" asked Manny, excited.
"Yeah, I was so close!" said Liberty. "But it would have been really awkward if I did."
"No it wouldn't! Chris probably likes you too!" said Manny.
"Hey girls," said Emma. "May I join you? Or are you still stabbing me in the back?"
"What are you talking about Em?" asked Manny, confused.
"If I need help handling my ex, I'll ask for it, okay Liberty?" asked Emma, rudely.
"I still don't get it," said Liberty, confused and annoyed.
"How can you tell Chris that I'm not good enough? He's the one who's not good enough!" said Emma.
"How did you know that?" asked Liberty.
"I heard you guys talking," said Emma.
"So now you're listening in on my private conversations?" Liberty shot back.
"Oh please, as if you've ever had a conversation with anyone other than me or Manny!" screamed Emma.
"And you do! Emma that was the most conceited thing you could ever say." said Liberty. Liberty leaves.
"I agree," said Manny. She catches up to Liberty.
Uh! My reputation has fallen to the point where people like Liberty can insult me, thought Emma. I don't think so!
