Chapter 11 I Hate Mondays
Manny Santos POV
Here I am walking to my locker alone, alone in the end. Where's the happy ending to my fairy tale? I had a great boyfriend, a best friend and now I don't. I've lost everything and wonder if it will get better and wonder where I'm headed. Will I ever be happy again? Is it my fault I fell in love with Craig and made a huge mistake? That's a question I can't find the answer to. I waited for him and finally decided to move on and found J.T. to comfort me and I was happy again, smiling all the time, laughing at his jokes and thought I was in paradise. Emma and me were finally becoming best friends again and I thought it would last forever but nothing lasts forever. I found that out the hard way. Emma looks at me differently now thinking I'm some kind of slut and I know that's what she meant when she said to look in the mirror. I look at myself differently too but I'm not stupid like she said just naïve but I assume that isn't any better. He had to ruin it and this is his entire fault. I'm not the only one to blame. He came too late and the timing couldn't have been worse. I might've fallen for it if he told me he loved me before but I have to strong and say no. I can't be with a person like Craig who is a cheater, liar, jerk, and player but so adorable but being adorable is not enough. Sadly, a part of me is willing to go running back to him but should I take a risk like that? Can I afford to be heart broken again? Bell rings so I head to class and when I get there one seat is left and just guess who it is by? Yeah Emma Nelson! Could this day get any worse? I ignore her but get the feeling she is looking at me in disgust and then when I finally look at her I'm proven right. I can't believe that just the other day we were best friends or even spoke to each other because now we are complete enemies. All of sudden I find myself being shaken by Emma. I must've fallen asleep but it couldn't have been more than a few minutes. I open my eyes and see that the whole class is watching me. Oh how embarrassing and there is Mrs. Kwan standing in front of me with a serious face. I find it rather hilarious and can't help but giggle.
"I'm glad you decided to join us Miss Santos." She said in a scolding manner.
"Yeah it was no problem." I said sarcastically.
"Well do you mind explaining to the rest of the class what the assignment is about?" She asked. She must be kidding me.
"Actually I do mind on account of me drifting off." I rolled my eyes.
"You better stop that attitude or else you'll get detention."
"Oh no wouldn't want that."
"That's it young lady lunch detention today. Don't be late."
"Again no problem." I mumbled rather loudly if that is even possible? I don't care if I got detention.
"Way to go." Emma said with a smirk.
"Emma it's not to late to join her." The smirk disappears from her face.
I was kind of shocked by my attitude too. I mean that's the only detention I've gotten this year. I guess my goody-two image has disappeared when I got this new look. Could this day go any slower? Wait I don't want to know the answer of that. Today I haven't talked to anybody. Somehow I've become invisible but what did I expect? Most of the guys are still noticing me and winking at me but I still feel alone. I don't like the way I feel, this feeling of not being cared about and the disappearance of happiness. I hear the lunch bell ring and everybody rushes to the cafeteria to get a table and sit with their friends. I used to have a table that was always reserved for me to sit at but now I don't. I've blown every thing and should get used to this feeling of loneliness. Detention! Almost forgot. Can't be late or should I be late? If I'm late I might get another detention and won't have to spend lunch alone but detention can't be much better but I wouldn't really know on the account of lack of detentions.
"Manny, Manny wait up!" Craig yells and I walk faster so maybe he'll just give up chasing me but he doesn't so I just stop. What's the use of running away? He'll find me somehow!
"I'm glad you stopped. I just wanted to say sorry for Friday night at Paige's party. I was so out of line for kissing you."
"So you're taking back the I love you crap. I knew you didn't mean it." I said just annoyed.
"I meant it. I really did but I'm just sorry for ruining your life. Will you forgive me?"
"I can't afford to do something stupid like that. I'm going to be late for detention."
"So?"
"So I got to go."
He shouts, "Ashley doesn't know about us."
"And I'm supposed to be surprised? But don't worry she will know soon. Probably by the end of the day."
"Yeah you're probably right. I just want to let you know I'll be waiting so you can always come back to me."
"Then you might end up waiting forever."
"Just think about it."
"I've thought about and more thinking wouldn't change my mind. I wish you well! . . .NOT!" I say, as I get further away. Geez he seems madly in love with me. Why now? It seems like he wants me more when he knows he can't have me. Guys! What do they know? I open the door with the bold letters DETENTION on it. I get inside and it's kind of scary in here filled with the kind of kids you don't introduce to your mother and father. The only person I know in here is Sean but we don't talk much, never have really. I only know him because he dated Emma and ask my self why or how? You would never think they would even be friends. I never thought they would last but I didn't dare to tell Emma that because she would never forgive me but I was right in the end. I'm looking around and look up to the ceiling and see spit balls. Ugh gross! I know I don't belong here and I'd rather be alone at lunch then to have to step one foot into this room again. Then I feel something hit my head and I was about to tell the teacher but then noticed she was asleep and had a horrible make up job.
"Hey, Manny what's you doing in here?" Sean asked while placing his headphones on the table.
"I got detention."
"Welcome to my life. So what did you do?"
"Just talked back to the teacher after I woke up from sleeping. Mrs. Kwan's class can be such a bore"
"Yeah it can be! I'm in that class too."
"I think I know that since we are in the same class." Nice to know I've been noticed! I'm joking obviously but if I didn't joke I would probably scream.
"Oh I feel stupid. So how's Emma?" I could tell he's run out of things to talk about to bring up his ex-girlfriend.
"Oh I wouldn't know. We aren't friends since the party. We had a big fight and now our friendship is over."
"Oh too bad."
"No really I'm fine." Then we both laughed.
"Why aren't you friends anymore?" He asked.
"Oh because she basically called me a slut!" I said wondering what his reaction would be.
"Man that's harsh! Emma Nelson said that?"
"I said basically. I don't think Emma could even speak that word without washing her mouth out with soap afterwards." I said and then we both laughed again. Is this the same Sean that dated Emma?
"Yeah but that was still a mean to say. You're a nice girl unless there's a side of you I haven't seen."
"Oh I don't know about that so what else do you do in detention?"
"Nothing really and Mrs. Miller's number one rule is NO fun of any kind allowed."
"Well by her loud snoring she probably wouldn't notice if we left."
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"I think so." I say asking myself if I was really going to ditch? I mean this isn't something I would normally do but I don't want to look like a wimp in front of Sean the bad boy himself. Mrs. Miller wouldn't even notice so I follow Sean outside the classroom and am free at last and it was kind of fun to just escape. Sean and me walk outside together but I don't know why. He hasn't told me to leave so I guess it's okay with him. We walk outside to meet his friends who I've seen around and heard about them from Emma and her little experience with them and it was all bad. Sean introduces me anyways even though I know their names but I don't think he knew that.
"Hey Manny this is Jason, Alex and Bradley."
"Hey!" Wow I don't usually hang out with these kind of daring and somewhat dangerous people. By the way these are the same people that crashed and completely trashed Paige's party that endangered people's lives but luckily nobody was seriously hurt. Then I watch Emma, J.T. and Emma's new boyfriend Chris walk by seeming very happy and then Emma sees me noticing who I'm hanging out with. I got to go. What do I say to get out of this awkward situation?
"Um nice meeting you but I got to see a friend about something. See ya around." I say knowing it was kind of a lame excuse but they fall for it. *Bell rings* I hate those loud stupid bells but hey that means there are only four more periods until cheer practice. Yippee! Where would I be without my sarcasm?
There is the first chapter of Pinch Me! I'm very excited about writing this fanfic. I have the story outline already written out. Tell me what you think without flaming me too bad. Read and Review! There will be a few new characters to come, but Who? Who will be the new Degrassi students?
