Chapter 5
Written By Degrassicutie1
During English, Emma kept looking over at Liberty and Chris talking and laughing. So was Manny.
"Aw that is so cute! They're like, having a conversation!" said Manny, excited.
"I thought the goal of your 'new look' was to show that you're so sophisticated yet you're giggling over the two of them having some stupid conversation. Big deal. I've had conversations with guys too." said Emma.
"But this is with someone she likes!" said Manny, still giggling.
"Likes? What did you just say?" asked Emma.
" Liberty likes Chris, and I think he likes her too. They'd make such a cute couple!" said Manny.
Emma was in a state of shock. Liberty likes Chris? Yeah right, Chris can do way better than that, probably someone as good-looking as me, thought Emma.
"Um, sure…" said Emma, sarcastically.
"What's your problem Emma? You think that every cute guy that comes along is yours, you're not the only good-looking girl in this school miss prude." said Manny.
"Well excuse me if my looks our natural!" said Emma.
"Emma Nelson, Liberty is right. You ARE conceited!" screamed Manny. "May I switch my seat Ms. Kwan? This one's a bit of a distraction."
Emma could hear Liberty and Chris laughing at her.
"Em you are seriously changing into someone I don't know anymore. It's not even worth it trying to get you back, I've found someone with a little more, how do I say this? Personality!" screamed Chris.
Some kids in the class screamed "Oohh" and Emma was feeling all rejected and hurt.
"And who would that be?" asked Emma.
" Liberty. She actually happens to be pretty cool." said Chris.
"Are you serious?" asked Emma, laughing.
"You're not all that cool yourself Nelson," said JT.
"No one asked you JT, so quit it." said Emma.
"What are you going to do?" asked Toby. "Protest it? See if I care."
"Whatever. Date whoever you want and I won't give a damn one bit. Fine!" screamed Emma.
And with that, she stormed out of the room in rage.
People start laughing at her again and Liberty feels kind of guilty, but continues to laugh to be "in."
Meanwhile in Media Immersion, Ashley was trying hard to stay awake.
"What does the speaker do?" asked Mr. Simpson. "Ashley?"
Ashley snapped out of her daydream.
"Um, yeah." said Ashley.
People started to laugh.
Ashley gets an instant message from Craig.
craig: hey the question required a real answer not yes/no
ashley: is that why u IMed me, to tease me
craig: no look I'm sorry 4 today but u gotta giv manny a chance
ashley: no not a chance she is a bf stealing whore

ashley: i dont know
craig: common

Ashley flashes Craig a friendly smile and then continues to make an attempt to stay awake while Mr. Simpson babbles about the speakers again.
When class was over, Spinner saw Ashley walking with Craig.
"So maybe we can hang out tomorrow?" asked Craig.
"Um…yeah. Sure," said Ashley, looking at Spinner watching her. "So I'll see ya around."
"Bye," said Craig.
Spinner catches up to Ashley.
"Hey Ash," said Spinner.
"Oh hey Spin," said Ashley, surprised that he would even look at her.
"So what's going on with you and Craig?" asked Spinner, curiously.
"Um, we're friends for now and we're taking things slow. I just might forgive Manny," said Ashley.
"But she's such a slut. She stole your boyfriend and now you have to forgive her?" asked Spinner.
"True, but Craig asked me to and I don't want to mess things up again." said Ashley.
"Mess things up again!? You didn't do anything! Why would you do it for Craig when he is the one who went behind your back for like, a long time! You should do what works for you, not him. He's making you do this so he can have everything his way when you were the one in pain in the first place," said Spinner.
"Wow Spinner, that was really insightful. I never knew you could say something so deep," said Ashley.
"Well I'm becoming quite the pro in English, I took grade 9 English twice, remember?" asked Spinner.
"Oh yeah," said Ashley, laughing.
"So what are you doing now?" asked Spinner.
"I have to go home and help my mom out with some stuff." said Ashley.
"Like what?" asked Spinner.
"Unloading stuff from the garage," said Ashley.
"Can I maybe help?" asked Spinner.
"Sure!" said Ashley. "Let's go."
"Okay," said Spinner.
The two walk out of school together, leaving Hazel very suspicious.
