2000 Miles

Chapter 3: I Need You

°°Joey's POV°°

Shane hasn't replied in 20 minutes... Is he ignoring me? It's probably not that big of a deal. Oh no, here I go, becoming overly attached to someone. I can't let myself ruin this friendship with Shane.

-

Shane and I didn't talk the rest of last night. I hope he's okay. I couldn't stop thinking of him all day at school. Megan came up to me at lunch and interrupted my thoughts.

Meghan: HEY!

Joey: Jesus you scared me.

Meghan: I'm sorry... What's that look on your face for?

Joey: What look?

Meghan: That look someone makes when they're deep in thought about something... someone... ARE YOU CRUSHING ON SOMEONE JOEY?

I took a moment to think. I realized all I was thinking about was Shane... Was I crushing on Shane? No... We barely know each other. Maybe. I don't know.

Meghan: Hmm?

Joey: What?

Meghan: Are you crushing on someone?

Joey: I don't know.

Meghan: That means you are! Who?!

Joey: Well, there's this guy. I don't know because we just met a few days ago, and not even in person. He lives all the way in California.

Meghan: Ohhh what's his name?

Joey: Shane. Shane Dawson.

Meghan: Oooooooooh.

Joey: What...

Meghan: Nothing! Nothing.

Joey: Mhm.

-

Finally, I got home and I ran upstairs to my computer. I checked my Facebook and I hadn't received anything from Shane yet. I waited about a half hour then I heard the little noise the chat makes. It was Shane!

Shane: Hey! Do you know a Meghan Camarena?

God damn it Meghan.

I decided to call her and ask her why she added Shane.

*on the phone*

Meghan: Helllllooooo?

Joey: Why did you add Shane on Facebook.

Meghan: I don't know, I was curious.

Joey: Well don't say anything to him. Or at least not anything stupid.

Meghan: I won't Joey!

Joey: Fine. Bye.

I hung up on her then refocused my attention on Shane.

Joey: Yeah that's my best friend.

Shane: Why does she wanna be my friend?

Joey: I don't know, I told her about you earlier so I guess she wanted to see who you were and stuff.

°°Shane's POV°°

Joey talks about me to other people? Oh my god. Why am I excited about this...?

Shane: What did you tell her about me?

Joey: Nothing really, just that you were a new friend I made.

Shane: Oh. What brought it up?

Joey: Um I was just thinking about you I guess.

I felt my cheeks go warm. He was thinking about me. Like I think about him.
