Craig walked up the driveway as the wind blew fiercely through his hair. Debris was falling from the trees all around him and every now and then raindrops would splash on his face. His cheeks were pink and rosy by the time he got to the door of Emma's house. He was going to surprise Manny and take her out for the night.
He knocked on the front door and waited. The wind was really starting to bite at his ears, so he knocked again. From inside, he heard someone yell, "I'm coming!"
Emma answered the door, wearing jeans and a sweater.
"Is Manny around?" he asked her, peering inside.
"No, but she should be soon. You wanna come in?"
"Please. It's rather nippy out here," Craig told her, half jokingly as he went inside. Emma seemed to be the only one home.
Craig settled himself on the couch and began to flip through the channels, trying to find something worth watching. An hour later, he was bored out of his mind and Manny still wasn't back.
He went down to Emma's room. "So, where is everyone anyways?" he asked her.
"Mom and Jack and Mr. Simpson went to this toddler playschool date type thing, and Manny went to breakfast with her mother, because she missed her. It looks like they are making a day of it after all." Emma responded.
"Sounds great. I wish I had known about it. Then I could have done something other than sit on your couch all morning."
"Well, it was very last minute. I'm sure she didn't mean to leave you high and dry. But do you think you could go? I'm expecting someone…"
"Yeah, sure Em. Whatever. Guess I'll go hang with Jimmy or Marco."
Emma practically pushed Craig out the door. Luckily for Emma, Craig had his head down to brace against the still furious wind, and he didn't see the blonde that had been coming towards Emma's house quickly turn as if he were merely wandering.
As soon as Craig drove off though, the blonde boy turned back as if with a suddenly found purpose and walked straight into Emma's house.
Craig went in search of all his friends, found not one, and just decided to go rock out alone in his garage. He might as well work on his next big hit.
