Chapter Thirty Five - Kaitlyn

2050

I was awoken on Monday morning by the sound I hated most in the world- my alarm. That alarm usually only meant 2 things:

1.) No lie in.
2.) 6 boring hours of my day spent in school.

Today, however, the alarm also meant a third thing:

3.) I would quite possibly have to face Shane.

I shared no lessons with him on a Monday, but our school wasn't exactly a big school so it wasn't unlikely that we'd bump into one another. And just as I thought, we did. Only, it wasn't as much a bumping into each other as a him waiting for me outside my registration room. I didn't expect that.

Hoping and praying to a God I didn't believe in that I could slip through the door unnoticed, I hid behind Aimee and Cassy, desperately trying to blend in.

I was just about to close the door behind me when someone's hand found my arm, and it didn't take a genius to know who the hand belonged to. I always did suck at blending in, there's just something in my etiquette that makes me stand out like a sore thumb. I stepped back out of the classroom and into the corridor where Shane stood.

"You know, you would be the worst spy." There was his voice, deep and strong, filling my stomach with butterflies.

"And why's that?" I asked, slightly snappy and annoyed that he could be acting so casual around me after yesterday.

"Because you're useless at hiding from people."

"And what makes you think I was hiding?" I asked, extremely irritated and wondering why he was bothering to talk to me.

"Maybe the fact that as soon as you saw me, you ducked behind your two friends." He raised his eyebrow and, for a moment, he looked kind of sexy. That was, until I remembered that he practically accused me of being a lying b*tch. Okay, maybe that was a slight exaggeration, and no those words weren't exactly used, but that was what he was implying by not believing me.

"Kaitlyn?" Shane interrupted my inner rant.

"What? Can't you give me a break for christ's sake?" I snapped. Okay, maybe I was overreacting slightly but I just wanted to be left alone today, I wasn't in the mood and it was this guy's fault.

"I just thought we needed to talk, don't you think we should talk?" He asked.

"No, I don't want to talk. And you don't get to dictate when we do and don't talk."

"Why are you being so...?"

"So what?"

"So stubborn!" Shane said, almost shouting.

People were beginning to look at us and whisper, which just infuriated me even more. I got a text from Cassy asking what was going on, and I looked through the window of the door to the class room and smiled at her, as if to say "It's fine, everything's fine." How reassuring that smile was, I don't know, acting never was my strong point.

"That's better." Shane stated.

"What's better?"

"You were smiling. A pretend smile but that's better than nothing." He calmly explained.

"Yeah, well I wasn't smiling at you so don't flatter yourself."

"Please Kaitlyn."

"What do you want Shane?" I was losing my temper, which surprised me because I never got this angry. What was he doing to me?
