"I'm here for you." He whispered holding my hand.
Its 12:00 noon and me and Shayne are still in the locked door bathroom.
Most guys would've taken the opportunity to 'get freaky'. But Shayne and I just sat there conversing.
I'm silent. I appreciate his generosity. But let's face it. He can't come in the bathroom while I'm peeing and surely he can't come in my room when I'm changing. So he shouldn't say something literal to lightly.
"Your pretty hard to crack." He says.
"Am I really?"
"Your like the labrith you know?"
"How so?" I ask.
"When I think I have you figured out you turn on me with a whole new wave of emotions."
"Ah so that's what you think of me. As a puzzle book?" I ask intrigued.
"No I look at you as you being an onion. As soon as I peel a layer of affection. You have another. Thicker and more difficult to peel."
I take in this.
After the silence has drifted into the atmosphere. I finally speak: "I need to make up a nick name for you." I say thoughtfully.
"Oh?" He asks.
"I'm thinking either Shaybear or Shaybear." I say.
He chuckles. "How bout Sexybear?"
I laugh at his ridiculous suggestion.
His face that once lit up now druped.
"I like Shayebear better." I complimente.
"Yea Ok." He replied fumigated.
I sigh.
I look at the clock opposite of our position.
12:30
"5 mins til lunch." I acknowledge.
"Did you wanna go?" He asks referring to lunch.
Thats when I remember Eva.
"Yea." I reply.
We get up and Shayne takes his hand in mine. We walk outside. As my eyes adjust I feel the intensity of being watched. As look up I see dozens of fellow peers staring. I quickly pull away from Shayne's grasp and walk a few paces ahead of him.
"Pipes?" He questions. I remain striding in front of him.
We enter the lunchroom. He spins me around to face him. "Pyper?"
"Yes?" I say looking everywhere but at him.
"What was that back there?"
I huff. "They are what happened back there. Did you not see everyone staring."
"Really that's what's bugging you?"
"Mhmm." I say distracted by my friends taking their seats.
"Pyper look at me."
I turn.
"Let them watch, who cares?"
"Me!" I exasperate.
"I know that I'm not that model every girl envys for her body. I'm not over the top gorgeous. That's why I don't like standing out. I hate attention. I hate not being someone else."
"Pipes, I like you for you. I don't care if your 1,000 pounds and butt ugly. I will ALWAYS feel this way."
He wipes the tear running down my cheek.
"Now c'mon beautiful."
We join my friends at the table. I look for Eva. She finally emerges from the lunch line. And I usher her over.
I stand up. "Dom,Jaki,TJ,Leyah, Shayne. This is Eva.Eva these are my best friends."
She smiles. "Nice to meet ya." Is what I thought she said but w/her Spanish accent it came out: Neecetwo meeya.
Dom gives her a nod disregarding her while the others gave a heartily welcome.
Eva sat next to Shayne.
And launched into her history. She seemed pretty cool. Kinda.

I was looking for Shayne around the school but I couldn't find him so I just went home.
On my bed sat a note with a box of chocolate and roses in scrambled letters the note read:
Hey,
Hope you don't get too fat :)
Lots of like
Sexybear aka fbear.
I'm really hating that I'm starting to like him.
