Chapter 12

Written By Degrassicutie1

Emma is walking down the hall to her locker after lunch. She hears two voices. She looks towards a corner and sees Chris and some guy laughing.

"Yo I told you it would work! That girl's totally into me now!" Chris said, laughing.

"Keep this going on for another week, and I'll give you the money." said Peter.

"Yeah I got you don't worry 'bout it."

Emma was standing behind a wall, wondering what the two boys were talking about. Then she suddenly understood.

"You know what's even better about this? My ex Emma Nelson is mad jealous of me and Liberty together, I got both girls played. When I dump Liberty, she'll wish she never talked to me. And she'll look like the fool!" joked Chris. The two boys started laughing again.

"Wow Chris that is so sweet. Messing with a good girl's heart." said Emma, sarcastically.

Chris and Peter turn around to see Emma Nelson, with a smirk on her face.

"Look I'll meet up with ya later." said Peter, leaving.

"Alright," said Chris.

"So what the hell was that all about? How could you do that to Liberty?" asked Emma, furiously.

"Like you care, you've been nothing but horrible to her!" screamed Chris, angrily.

"Well she was pretty horrible to me too, does anyone care about how I feel?" asked Emma, hurt.

"Look Emma I'm sorry, okay? Sorry that I flirted with Liberty, let's make this work between us. I dated Liberty so that you and I can be together."

"Chris I do sort of miss you, but—

"Well well well, look what we have here. The little prude princess with the pointy ballerina feet is all over my boyfriend now. Wow Manny, how, shall I say? Slutty!" screamed Liberty, pissed off.

"Yeah, tramp has a better ring to it though. Emma the tramp!" said Manny, laughing.

"This is not what it looks like. Liberty, your so-called boyfriend is a jerk! He dated you for money, he's a jackass!" said Emma, honestly.

"Enough with your lies, you just want him all to yourself. You slut!" Liberty yelled, meanly.

"Yes I did love him, once. And I was jealous of you and him. Kissing and cuddling all the time. Made me wish I was the one in his arms 24/7. But then I came to the hall and found out that Chris' friend is paying him to go out with you. It's a bet. He doesn't care about you, he's hurting you just like he hurt me. And I know that I've been the world's meanest bitch lately, but I can't stand to see someone be treated like that. You deserve so much better Liberty, way better than what I deserve. I've been such a horrible person to you, I feel like such an idiot. We've known each other forever and I let someone as stupid as Chris get in the way of what we have. Do you know how stupid I feel right now? I could go on and on about how sorry I am Liberty. I still want to be your friend. Friends are forever, boys are whatever!" said Emma, close to tears.

"I don't care Emma! I can't trust you anymore. You're a liar. I don't believe you," said Liberty, lying. "Common Manny and Chris, let's go."

The three leave Emma crying in the middle of the hall.

I confessed to how horrible I felt and I apologized, thought Emma, why is she still against me? She could have apologized for being a bitch towards me too!

Paige was putting some stuff in her locker and Craig walked over to her.

"Hey Paige!" said Craig, smiling.

"Oh hey Craig, how's everything hun?" asked Paige, smiling. "Haven't spoken to you like this in a while!"

"Yeah I miss that. I'm good, and you? How's everything with Spinner?" asked Craig, curiously.

Paige sighed.

"Not so good. We're taking a break. Well, I told him I want to take a break. He's just been acting so weird lately. Ignoring everything I say." said Paige, quickly.

"Oh okay." said Craig.

"You know something, don't you? You wouldn't just ask me what's going on if you didn't know yourself. Spill hun!" said Paige.

"I can't, it'll hurt you. You're gonna have to find out on your own. And when you do, I'm so sorry that anyone could every hurt you that way." said Craig, sympathetically.

"Where's Spinner? He needs to tell me what's been going on then." said Paige, looking around.

"No I think it's Ashley you need to talk to."

"What?" asked Paige, confused. "Um, okay…"

Paige entered her math class and sat down right next to Ashley. 10 minutes went by. Mr. Armstrong left for a few minutes and told the class to start working on the assignment.

"Hey Ash, what's up?" asked Paige, not caring one bit.

"Um, hey Paige. Nothing. Can we talk later? I'm trying to work here." said Ashley, looking down.

"No sweetie, I think we should talk now. Did you hear about me and Spinner taking a break?" asked Paige, curiously.

"Um no I haven't. So sorry to hear that." said Ashley, faking surprise.

"That's funny cuz I spoke to Craig and you seem to be at the center of it all." said Paige, raising her voice.

"What did Craig tell you? Whatever he told you isn't true. I would never hurt you. You're my best friend," said Ashley, lying.

"I'm talking to Spinner; I'm not so sure I can trust you anymore. Or him. But it's worth a try." said Paige, suspiciously.

Spinner couldn't possibly spill about what happened to us, thought Ashley. I mean, does he really wanna risk losing Paige anyway? I know I don't. So then why do I still enjoy kissing Spinner?
