"YOU GUYS DID WHAT?" MANNY ASKED. Baby Roberts had told her friend what had occurred the other night, knowing the Santos girl wouldn't judge her for it

"Be quiet. It was sweet, okay? A little awkward, but perfect." Baby smiled, thinking about the other night

"I'm happy for you, Baby. As immature at JT is, I know he makes you happy." Manny congratulated her friend, "Besides, it's not like I'm little miss innocent or anything."

"Thanks, Manny. Now, I gotta go find Emma. She wants me to help her make notecards for some challenge thing." The girl groaned, dreading any kind of studying

"Sounds boring. Have fun." Manny joked, waving to the girl as she walked away

The Roberts girl laughed, before spotting her tall friend in the opposite hallway, rushing to catch up with her, "Emma! Wait up."

"Thank goodness. I was beginning to think you didn't come today. Anyways, I already made the cards but you can help me find Rick and Toby." Emma said, taking the girl's hand before dragging her down another hallway

"Rick? I thought you didn't like him." Baby asked, confused by her change of heart

"I know, but he's getting help, and I think it's only fair if we give him a chance." Emma explained, "Look. There they are."

"Maybe." Baby whispered, as Emma dragged her over to the two boys

"Hey guys, I made flash cards." Emma smiled, "Want me to quiz them by category or should I shuffle?"

Neither of the boys answered. Toby because, he was waiting for Rick to respond. Rick because he was looking at the Roberts girl, confused, "Oh, Sorry. This is Baby. She's my best friend."

"Hi." Rick smiled, holding out his hand for the girl to shake

"Hey." Baby greeted, giving him a soft smile and shortly shaking his hand, still a bit uncomfortable around the boy who put Terri in a coma

"I'm quitting." Rick decided, replying to what Emma had asked him earlier

"Rick, the finals are tomorrow." Emma complained

"We have a new teammate - Jimmy Brooks." Rick said

"Aw, I love Jimmy." Baby smiled, making them all glare at her, "Sorry, wrong timing."

"Aka, my daily tormentor." Rick continued, making the girl realize how bad her timing really was

"I told you, man. Just go to Simpson. Ask him for a re-think on his decision." Toby suggested

"If Jimmy's booted now, he'll know it was me." Rick argued

"Jimmy and them? They don't like you cause they don't know you." Emma insisted
