"How was Peter's party?" Emma said, coming up from behind Manny and the brunette jumped, "Woah," teased Emma, "You okay?"

Manny turned from her locker, looking completely weary and paranoid and hurt.

"Manny.." Emma drifted, she hadn't ever seen her look like this.

Manny's eyes teared up and grabbed Emma's hand, rushing to the washroom with her and looked .

She bursted into tears, "It's Peter." she threw her arms around Emma for comfort, "He-he taped me, I-" she was choking on her tears, that Emma could barely hear her.

Crap, she should of gone to the party, but she just wasn't feeling it. What happened? Did Peter reject her or something? MAnny was gorgeous! Was he nuts?!

"He's going to show everyone." Manny pulled away, snuffling and trying to wipe her tears.

"Show everyone what?" Emma tilted her head. It'd been ONE WEEK! What had Manny gotten herself into.

Manny crossed her arms, hugging herself, "I was drunk... stupid," she shook her head and closed her eyes, "I lifted my top."

Emma shut her eyes, sighing, and hugged Manny. Crap. This wasn't good.

Meanwhile..

"I tried calling him." Ellie told Marco and shrugged, shaking her head frantically, "No answer"

"That's rough." cringed Marco.

Behind them, the girls came out of the bathroom.

"I just wanna know if he's coming home or not." Ellie said, looking down so upset and Marco hugged her

Manny felt Emma pause a little, and overheard that too.

Was Ellie talking about Sean?

Emma was starting to worry a little, she couldn't help but to do that. He hadn't been in class all week. . .where was he?

"Come on." whispered Manny, taking her hand and they walked down the hall for all the screens to go on.

"I'M GONNA BE FAMOUS! I'M GONNA BE FAMOUS!"

Emma stared up with wide eyes in horror at Degrassi's televisions, all playing out a little recording Manny had just told her about from Peter.

That little scum bag!

Manny was cold as ice, numbly looking at the video replay over and over, her drunk self from the weekend, undoing her top for Peter.

Emma winced when someone had walked by and known it was Manny, as others were still staring at the screen.

"Nice tits Manuala"

Manny shut her eyes tight, tears running down her cheeks and Emma grabbed her arm, "Lets go." she pulled her to the exit

"Sluttt" said a student passing.

Manny was going to faint, and the only thing that kept her going was Emma's feet still moving and dragging her out of Degrassi, but even outside, her cheerleader 'friends' playfully pretended to lift their shirts at her.

"They're just shallow little-"

"Emma. Just stop." cried Manny, and yanked her arm from the blonde.

Emma's mouth dropped, watching Manny begin to run home, alone, in tears.

She turned and glared over her shoulder at the cheerleaders, Darcy more directly. So much for being a friend.

Darcy just gave her a look back and rolled her eyes, turning.

That's when Emma saw Peter at one of the sitting benches outside and she stormed over to him. He was eating a sandwich and Emma grabbed it, dumping it on his head.

"You think that was funny!?" exclaimed Emma.

Peter's angrily stood up, letting the lettuce, and tomatoes fall off his head and shoulders, "What the hell!" he looked up and paused. Emma.

Emma had fire in her eyes, glaring hatefully at him "That's what you do to girls who like you? Who are as beautiful as Manny?!"

"She was asking for it." he rolled his eyes.

"How?!" Emma exclaimed and shook her head, "You're nothing but a scumbag."

His mouth fell, not wanting her to hate him and grabbed her arm, "Why can't you just admit your friend is a slut. This is nothing about you."

Emma looked down at his hand not letting go of her arm and then saw a cup of coffee by his lunch, and decided to pour that on his head too.

People looked over, gasping then laughing, pointing at Peter.

Peter let her go to cringe and try to whipe the hot coffee off, "You'll regret that!" he yelled after her

She tossed a look of daggers at him before going back inside Degrassi.

"JEeze." Snake said, sitting at his desk infront of the computer but trying to sheild his eyes. Emma was showing him the gossip he heard all day.

Emma nodded, rolling her eyes, "He's a snake."

"I can't really see his face though, Em." admitted Snake. They were trying to get Peter expelled for this and he added with sigh, "He's also the new principles son."

Emma scoffed, "Ofcourse!" she angered.

Snake smiled a little, watching her pace back and forth, worrying about this until she turned and saw him smiling.

"Snake! This is serious!"

"Y-yes it is." he agreed, whiping the smile off but had to admit, "It's just...I haven't seen you so ..passionate about something in awhile."

Emma paused and smiled weakly. That was true. She then looked down at her hands.. maybe Snake would know where Sean was and if he was returning to Degrassi.

"Dad-"

"Snake?" Mrs H stood at the door and Emma stopped talking, narrowing her eyes. Great interruption from the Snakes mother herself.

Though.. she did look horrified, maybe she knew it was Peter too.

"Come on in." he sighed and looked to Emma, "Em, please. Adults need to talk."

Emma gave him an annoyed look and he chuckled, watching her go.

The day was over, and Emma was at her locker. She wanted to find out what they'd do to Peter but seems he only got a slap on the wrist. Cafeteria work, grounded, camera taken away. Such bull!

She put her book in her bag and slowly stopped, glancing down the hall where she knew his locker always was.

Don't say was, you don't know if he's not comin back.

Emma slowly closed her locker, and sadly left the school. When she got home, she noticed someone at her doorstep.

"Manny?"

Manny turned, tears in her eyes. This girl couldn't catch a break.

"They kicked me out." she had bags all around her feet.

Guess there was another plus one in the Nelson/Simpson household. Now the Nelson/Simpson/Santos.
