Sorry, sorry, sorry! I seriously suck at this whole "update thing." I kind of had writer's block on it, but then I came up with something. I'm sorry, it's not the best chapter ever, but it'll do. haha. Reviews welcome!


Chapter Five - A Text From Craig

The four friends slowly exited the movie theathre, as they chatted about the movie they had sat through. No more than a minute had passed, and Emma and Manny were deep in conversation over the movie. Where as, J.T. pretended to yawn and roll his eyes. "That movie was boring," he announced. "We should have seen Green Leaf."

Manny giggled, while Emma glared. "J.T., enough about that stupid movie! The movie we just watched was amazing! Completely romantic, yet dramatic at the same time. You could feel their emotions, too." She looked over at Manny and smiled. "Plus, it ended happy. Movies are always better when they end happy."

"Yeah," Manny agreed, playfully nudging J.T. in the ribs. "Em's right. The movie was so cute. Daniel and Katie were meant to be together, and you could totally sense that. Even though it was pretty predictable, it was definitely a classic. I bet it will make a ton of money, just like Titanic did."

Toby nodded his head, "I have to agree, also," he stated. J.T. stared down at him, mentally questioning his sexuality. Toby sensed this, and shrugged. "What? Is it my fault I appreciate all different genres of movies? The dialogue was interesting, and the actors and actresses were amazing in it."

"Whatever," J.T. replied to them all. "The only good thing in the movie was the actress who played Katie. Oh, plus her younger sister Dawn. Now, they were hot!" J.T. sent them all a grin, one that showed off his pervertness. "The rest of it...well, let's just say I fell asleep."

Manny laughed, and looked over at Emma. "Typical J.T. Yorke," she muttered, making Emma laugh, also. "At least he sat through it, even if he did..." Manny's voice trailed off as she noticed Darcy out of the corner of her eye, holding onto Spinner's hand as she talked to a girl on the Spirit Squad. "Fall asleep," she ended her sentence and looked away from Darcy.

Emma, along with J.T. and Toby, followed Manny's glaze. "Manny, are you okay?" Emma asked her, quickly. "I still can't believe Darcy said that. That was insanely rude of her, especially since she hardly even knows you. If she actually took the time to get to know you, she'd know that you are far from being a slut."

"I'm fine," Manny answered, harshly. "I just want to leave."

Manny plopped down on Emma's couch as Emma closed the door behind them. Toby joined Manny on the couch, as J.T. took a seat on the chair next to the couch. J.T. helped himself to the remote control and flipped the television on. "Aah, T.V.! How I love you!" He confessed his love for television, as he looked to see what was on.

"Anybody want a drink?" Emma asked the three sitting teenagers, as she made her way into the kitchen. Once inside, she opened the refrigerator and shifted a few items around, until she found her vitamin water. She unscrewed the cap and took a sip of the light red liquid, making an "aah" sound.

"I'll take a Coke," Toby ordered, as he focused his attention on the television. "J.T.! Stop, you're flipping through the channels too fast. I can hardly tell what's on," he complained. "There's supposed to be this Science show on tonight. It sounds really interesting. I've been dying to see it for weeks!"
J.T. continued to go through the channels at the same pace. "Sorry, Tobes, but that sounds more boring than that movie I just had to sit through. I'll have the same, Emmers!" He came to a comic show, where no-named comedians told off their jokes that weren't even humorous. "I love these guys!"

"Water, please, Em." Manny made a disgusted face at the television and reached over to grab the remote control from J.T.'s hands, but couldn't wrestle it away from him. "I hate these guys! They aren't even funny. All they do is talk about how aweful their wives are, and what comes out of their butts. It's so stupid."

Emma walked back into the living room, four beverages in her hand. She placed them down on the table, and sat down next to Manny. "Science or morons, what choices!" Emma entered the conversation, as she picked up her drink and took another sip. "J.T., give me my remote control. I'll see what's on, okay?" She leaned over, just like Manny had, but succeeded in taken the remote away. "Thank you!" She laughed.

Suddenly, Manny's cell phone began to ring, causing her to jump out of her seat. Reaching deep into her jean pocket, she pulled out her cell phone and noticed she had a text message from Craig. "It's a text from Craig!" She happily explained to them, as she flipped open the cell.

She clicked onto the message and mentally read it. "Hey Manny, I just had some time to spare and I thought I'd text you. I don't have that much time, so I couldn't call. Sorry I don't seem to be free that much. That will change soon, hopefully. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I love you and I'll talk to you soon. Love you, Craig."

"It's okay, I understand. I miss you tons, though! I love you, too, Craig. xoxoxo Manny," she replied back to him. She set her cell phone down on the table in front of her, hoping he'd reply back soon, and stared at the television.

Emma noticed how happy that one little text message made Manny, and smiled to herself as she looked over at her. The blonde sat there, thinking about how thrilled her best friend would be when Craig showed up in person to see her. She couldn't wait to see her reaction.
