"You are the last person I thought I'd be having lunch with," Tracy told Amber when they were sitting in the cafeteria. "I know it's weird." Amber agreed.

She hadn't intended on sitting with Amber, but Penny was sitting with Emma, and Tracy didn't want to be around that girl. Why didn't Penny see what she and the other council girls saw? She, Amber and Tammy were spending the whole lunch period bashing Emma. It was mean but it was pretty funny. "We have to get rid of her." Amber said suddenly

"Yeah we should push her in front of a bus or something." Tammy said.

"That's too extreme but I wouldn't mind if she was all bandaged up in the hospital, though." Tracy said.

"Yeah maybe then Link wouldn't find her attractive." Amber said. Tracy's face fell and she instantly regretted. She had to admit she liked being around Tracy and she didn't want to ruin things by her nasty remarks.

"Sorry but you know every living and breathing guy in this school thinks she's hot." Amber said. Tracy was still upset though but not at Amber. Link seemed to be paying more attention to Emma then the other guys were and when she asked him about going to the pizza parlor with her, he looked down guiltily and hardly said a word about it like he was hiding something. What was going on with that?

"You don't think Link really likes her do you?" Tracy asked them.

"Of course not. Link will be able to see right through her." Amber said. Tracy started to become relieved until Tammy commented "Yeah literally."

"Tammy shut up! Link wouldn't get with a girl like that! Anyway we are on the same side here! Emma has to go." Amber said looking at Emma's table again. At first it was just her and Penny sitting there but now her male fans had crowded the table. Emma was laughing and eating up all of the attention.

"There's not much we can do but deal with it." Tracy said sadly.

"You're too nice Tracy. If you are going to hang out with me you can't be nice all of the time. Now, we need to think of a plan. Are you with us or not?" Tracy was confused she really didn't know. She wanted to get rid of Emma too but she didn't think she could be so vindictive she wasn't like Amber. She didn't have a mean bone in her body.

"Hey there's Link!" Tammy said suddenly. Tracy looked over and saw her boyfriend making his way to Emma's table. Her heart sank but she figured he thought she was sitting there since that was her and Penny's usual table. When Penny told him she was over here, he'd come over. Tracy was surprised when Link sat next to Emma instead.

"So are you with us now?" Tammy said and then they all watched as Emma lean over and kiss Link on the cheek.

"Do you even have to ask?" Tracy said as her face burned up. Damn Emma Harralson! She didn't care what Amber did to her as long she stayed away from her boyfriend!

"Penny, why are you here?" Tracy asked her friend later that day. Penny was at the television station before the taping of the show. She usually went straight home after school and besides it was a closed set so no one was allowed to just watch.

"I just needed to talk to you. You've been avoiding me all day. Are you mad at me or something?" Penny asked sadly.

"No Penny you're my best friend." She said. She wasn't really mad at Penny but Penny chose to be friends with Emma and that made her mad.

"Why didn't you sit with me at lunch?"

"I sat with Amber and Tammy. I decided to leave you two lovers alone," Tracy said and rolled he eyes.

"What are you talking about? I didn't eat with Seaweed with I was with Emma."

"Exactly." Tracy snapped.

"I don't get why you hate her so much. She's really nice. She told me she'd really like for us all to be friends."

"And you bought that? Come on Penny! She's fake and she's a slut." Tracy said trying to get through to her best friend.

"That's the same thing I can say about your new friend Amber. Since when are you guys all BFF?" Penny said nastily.
"Since you became BFF with Emma. We all see her for what she really is but you can't or won't. What is it going to take for you to see it? Is she going to have to come on to Seaweed or what?"

"Tracy, I can't talk to you when you are like this. You need to calm down. I'll talk to you after the show is done." Penny suggested.

"You know you can't stay here Penny but I will call you later."

"Oh I can stay today. Emma asked Corny and he said it was okay if I stayed for the day." Tracy just rolled her eyes. Of course Emma arranged it. She walked towards the dressing room and closed the door behind her. She sat in her chair. Emma wasn't in hers and she wasn't on the bus either so hopefully she was skipping the show today. She turned to Amber who was brushing her blonde hair out. "Have you thought of anything yet?" She asked her.

"Don't worry I'm working on it." Amber said. Tracy sat back hopeful. She hoped she would think of something soon.

"I'll see you after the show." Emma told Corny as she fixed her clothes back. For the past couple of days, she had never felt so happy to be in Baltimore. She had been with two hot guys in the past 24 hours. Link was just a one time thing and he didn't seem to know what he was doing but Corny was more experienced and seemed to know exactly what she liked. She left school early today just so she could be with him. They were meeting at his house later so they wouldn't have to worry about anyone walking in on them.

"Emma are you okay? You know with the girls not like you?" He asked her.

"I'm fine with it. I have plenty of people who really like me." She said and then kissed him again.

"You should go. It's almost time for the show to start. I'll see you tonight" he said and then kissed pulled her into another kiss before she left. She cracked the door open before walking out of it just in case someone else was standing out side of it. She didn't see anyone so she walked out. She was about to go to the girls' dressing room to make sure her hair was okay when she saw Link coming out of the boys' dressing room. "Emma, listen about last night…" Link started when he walked over to her.

"I know it didn't happen and don't worry no one knows about it."

"No Emma that's not it. I can't get what we did out of my head it was so great and I was hoping we could do it again maybe I can come to your house again later on?" he suggested and smiled at her. She was confused. He was the one who insisted no one found out about it and now he wanted to do it again. She was flattered even though she knew she couldn't.

"I can't tonight. I have plans." She said

"Well some other time then?"

"Sure why not?" She said and then pecked him on the lips. He walked away and she turned to go to the dressing room and saw Amber standing there with her hands on her hips. She had seen and heard everything judging by the look on her face. Emma said nothing as she went to the dressing room leaving Amber standing there in disbelief.

It was thirty minutes later and the show was on the air. Amber still couldn't believe what she saw. Link slept with her! How could he do something like that? Despite being friends with Tracy, she still had feelings for Link and couldn't believe he would make love to...no…fuck Emma! She was debating on rather or not to tell Tracy about it or not. She knew she deserved to know the truth but it was going to hurt her so bad, even more then she was hurting right now. The way Tracy was looking at Link dancing with Emma was bad enough. Imagine what she would do if she knew he cheated on her? Before she wouldn't have minded if Tracy beat the crap out of Emma and got kicked off the show but now she knew Tracy was a nice person and she didn't deserve that. She was bumped on the side suddenly and looked over and saw Emma standing there. Emma just smiled like she didn't do anything and went on to dance in front of Amber. She wasn't going to let this girl take her spot! Who did she think she was anyway? Amber wore a smile and pushed Emma out of the way and danced in front of the camera. Now she knows whom she's dealing with! Amber thought as she smiled in front of the camera but Emma wasn't giving up that easily. She moved in front of Amber and did some kind of sexy dance that she knew her mom wouldn't approve of. Amber wanted to push her again but the show as almost over and they had to stop dancing. The council members gathered around Corny. Emma made sure she stood right beside him and Amber moved up to stand beside her since Motormouth Maybelle was standing on the other side of Corny talking to him.

"Don't ever push me again," Emma whispered to Amber through her grin.

"Well don't ever get in front of me again. I'm the lead dancer and it doesn't matter who you sleep with that isn't going to change you tramp." Amber said through her own smile.

"Don't get jealous because I gave Link what you couldn't." Emma retorted back. Amber couldn't help it any longer she grabbed the back of Emma's brown ponytail and pulled her down. Emma screamed out in pain then pulled Amber down with her. They wrestled around on the floor before Corny, Link and Brad broke it up. Amber tried to get out of Link and Brad's grips so she could beat the crap out of Emma but they wouldn't let her go. She could hear her mom screaming for a commercial before running up to the stage.

"You psycho bitch! Did you see her attack me? I didn't even touch her!" Emma cried. Her hair was messed up and the strap to her sea green dress was broken and she had tears in her eyes, which smudged her make up. Amber could only imagine how bad she looked but she could taste blood in her mouth from her cut lip.

"I'm going to kick your ass you evil whore!" Amber screamed still trying to get to Emma.

"Stop it! Amber stop it!" Velma cried. Amber stopped struggling and stood there.

"Everyone go to the dressing rooms now! Except for you two!" she said looking at Emma and Amber. Amber tried to go after Emma again when Link and Brad let her go but Link grabbed her again quickly.

"Amber cut it out! What is wrong with you? You know better! Go to my office and wait for me!" Velma said.

"Me? What about her? She's the one who's sleeping with everyone!" Amber screamed looking at Emma who was now crying in Corny's arms.

"Amber, just go! I can't even look at you right now!"

"You went too far." Link told her as he escorted her to the office. Amber held her head down. She was ashamed that she let her hatred for Emma go so far.
