In this chapter I am going to skip ahead, now break is over and well the rest is just in the story, the majority of this part will be Manny and Emma's IM converstation... So YEA.

"I Wanna Be Skinny" An Emma Nelson Story: Part 6

I stand at the front of Degrassi Community School, not glad that winter break is over, but happy that I've lost ten pounds! Can you believe it, ten whole pounds in a matter of a few weeks? So now I'm 106 pounds, and it feels really good.

I walk up the steps and into the building, and head straight to my locker. Manny hasn't really been talking to me, I'm not for sure why, but it's really bothering me because we are like sisters, and I don't want our friendship to end.

I open my locker and take out all the books that I need, and as soon as I shut the locker door and lock the lock I hear the warning bell ring. I quickly walk down the hallway and head toward my first hour, Media Immersion, which my step dad teaches.

I step inside the door and see a majority of the class already seated, I see Darcy, Paige, and pretty much all the other cheerleaders on one side of the classroom and I see Manny, and Sean, and a few others that I don't really know sitting on the opposite side.

I take the seat between Manny and Sean and turn my computer on, I look in Manny's direction and see her staring her computer down, tapping her finger on the desk causing a clicking sound to be made, its rather soothing to my ears, it fills them with peace and lets me know there is life, which is weird I know but in some way it makes sense to me.

I sign on to IM and see both Manny and Sean are on, as well as some of the cheerleaders who are sitting on the other side, and some other people that added me. I double click on Manny's screen name, SuperStar99, and type something rather quickly.

BlondiesKeepinItGreen says: Hey, sooooo I'm just a tad bit curious as to why you have been ignoring me?

I watch as she reads the message, maybe two times, I'm not really sure. And then I stare at her fingers as they glide across the keyboard typing in her reply, she stops typing and I look up at my screen, and surprise surprise there was a message waiting for me.

SuperStar99 says: Emma, I think we both know why I have been ignoring you; I mean if it isn't obvious to you, you are clueless.

I think really hard, and ask myself, have I done anything to Manny in these last few days? My head starts to hurt I'm thinking so hard, or maybe it's just because I haven't been feeling very well these past… weeks or something? And I'm all out, I don't have a clue that must mean I AM clueless, how will I ever go on?

BlondiesKeepinItGreen says: Hmm, I must be clueless cuz I can't think of a single thing…

I look over in her direction as she reads the message and watch as she rolls her eyes before typing in a reply.

SuperStar99 says: Emma Nelson, I know what you are doing to yourself! And I am far from mad, I'm furious. You are hurting yourself and if you don't stop I'm going to tell your mother!

This time it's my turn to roll my eyes.

BlondiesKeepinItGreen says: Oh man, I better go run and hide! My mommy might give me a whippin! And what are you talking about?

SuperStar99 says: Rolls eyes… You haven't eaten in god knows how many days! You should see yourself you look like a skeleton in bones.

I roll my eyes, is she serious? This is why she has been ignoring me, I sigh and type.

BlondiesKeepinItGreen says: Puh-lease Manny, I'm fine and I have been eating, thank-you very much! Plus I only have another 20 or so pounds to go.

SuperStar99 says: Oh yea, what all have you eaten?

BlondiesKeepinItGreen says: Just yesterday I had a bag of those 100 calorie packs, AND a pack of crackers AND a piece of mom's veggie lasagna!

All of this is true, except for the lasagna part, I didn't eat it.

SuperStar99 says: Yea, you may have had those other things, but you didn't have any of that lasagna, I saw it in the trash can in our bathroom!

Shoot, maybe I should've hid that in a better place, like outside or something. I'm stuck, what do I say now?

SuperStar99 has signed off…

Well I guess I don't have to say anything, I look in her direction and see her still typing on her computer, she must have blocked me. I sigh deeply but in a really low tone, sign off of IM and actually pay attention to the teacher.

This has been a great day of school… Hey maybe tomorrow Manny will chew me out about my running 3 miles every day.

Okay, so I realize this story hasn't cut out to be the best it could be and I don't have very many readers, if I have any at all. But I'm going to continue on writing it while I am writing on another story, just to make sure that I don't get burnt out on the other story, so TA TA!
