Emma's POV:

As I was walking down the hallway I catch to Manny, who is a little busy making out with Craig on a bench that's next to my locker; I laugh. "Manny once your done with the study of female and male attraction, can you come over here?" I ask. Manny just laughs and Craig laughs his head out.

"Sorry Emma, now what do you need?" She asks.

"I saw Jay today, and I asked him where was he and he didn't say anything except that it was a surprise." I explain. I am now opening my locker and switching books for my other classes, then I look back at Manny.

"Maybe it's for your sweet 16, oh isn't he the sweetest?" Manny asks.

I smile at her, "He sure is." I reply. In less than a second I shut my locker and start heading for Lang. Arts with Manny.

"Emma, are you still going to see Sean tonight?" She asks.

I think it over and the fact that Jay trusts me makes me feel comfortable towards the subject. "Yeah, Jay won't mind. Besides he knows that Sean and I are sort of still friends." I explain.

"Ok, but I still think that Sean wants more, it is like so obvious!" Manny exclaims.

"Really?" I ask. I know that Sean in a way must understand and respect my choices, but I think that Manny might actually be right.

"Yes Emma, that's why I would watch my back when being with Sean. What if he wants you to break up with Jay?" Manny asks, as we finally reach the dark brown door that has the name Mrs. Kwan. We both stop in front of it and talk until the bell rings.

"Look, I don't think that Sean would do something like that. It just doesn't seem reasonable." I reply back to Manny's crazy idea.

"Well, why don't I come with you? Then I can make sure that he isn't planning anything." Manny suggests.

"Manny, listen nothing bad is going to happen. Trust me and I know it because…" All of the sudden my voices gets cut off by Alex, who comes out from the class that I am taking next.

"Hey, Green Peace! Where's Jason?" Alex asks, as she hits my head. She then laughs and walks past me and then turns and comes back. "He's probably screwing around with Amy in the boiling room." Alex states, as she keeps on chewing her gum.

"Alex leave Emma alone." Manny demands.

Alex then comes up to Manny, "a sluts word doesn't really count in this conversation." Alex remarks.

"Alex!" I exclaimed. But it's too late Manny then slaps Alex in the face. Then Alex covers her red cheek with her left hand.

"You better watch your hand Manny! There's better things you can do with it, or else what's the point of being a slut if you can't use your hand at times?" Alex asks. She then starts to walk away.

I hesitate, "you better watch your mouth Alex!" I shout. Then she turns around and comes back. Out of nowhere we are now being circled by a small crowed of students. Manny can't really stand Alex bitchy comments, and things don't turn out pretty.

"Alex, you better shut up!" Manny shouts.

She then punches Alex in the face. Alex ends up turning side ways and covering her nose. She then goes up to Manny, and starts pulling on her hair. Manny tries to get Alex's hands off her head but it's no use. I decide to pitch in and help. I push Alex away from Manny, only to get slapped on my right cheek.

Everyone on the crowd is like shouting fight, fight, fight. They are shouting so loud that Mrs. Kwan comes out of the classroom. Then everyone stops what they are doing. Alex, who for some reason was on the ground, is trying to stand up as she tries to cover her bloody nose. Manny on the other hand is standing with her hair messed up, and I bloody lip. While, I am just standing there in front of Mrs. Kwan who doesn't seem that happy.

"What is the meaning of this?" Mrs. Kwan asks.

"Nothing, except for the fact that Alex started to insult Manny. That's when things got dirty and a fight started." I explained.

Alex just glared at me; "she's lying Miss. Santos pinched me in the face for no apparent reason." Alex declared. Then Mrs. Kwan stared at Alex and me. But then Manny had to speak.

"No, Alex started to purposely annoy Emma. Then when I was sticking up for Emma, she started to insult me. That's when we started fighting. Then Emma tried to break us apart, then a crowd of people started to circle us, and you came out." Manny explains to Mrs. Kwan who is still looking at us.

"Look, I am pretty sure that in some way you 3 are telling me the truth. But since fighting isn't allowed at school I must report this to Mrs. Hazilatkos. May I say that I am pretty sure that your parents will be involved in this matter. Now go to the office right now, and from me you 3 are receiving a lunch detention." Mrs. Kwan remarked.

The 3 of us were now on our way to the office, Manny couldn't even look at Alex. While the whole fighting scene was still replaying in my head, like a VCR. We finally reached the office, and were seated in front of the principle. She didn't really seem that happy with what she just heard.

"I don't know why this happened, but all I am saying that I am giving you 3 a second chance. You 3 have been already told you are having lunch detention. Even though I am giving you a second chance, I will inform your parents. Now, I want you three to be in the detention room, in precisely 30 min." Mrs. Hazitlakos stated. "Am I understood?" She asked.

All three of us say yes, and then stay at the principle's office until it's time for lunch. That's when we get ready to go to the detention room. For now we just stayed there and listened to the principle lecture us and call out parents. Alex's dad was furious; Manny's mom wasn't that happy with it all, and my parent's weren't mad because I tried to stop it so in a way I am of the hook. But Manny and Alex really aren't, I am guessing that they are going to be grounded or at least something close to it. We then pick up our bags and head to the detention room.
