CHAPTER 13: 𓆩♡𓆪

I hate Lizzie.

I hate her so much that I throw up just thinking about her.

I never want her to ride with Hugh and I again, or see her waiting for him after rugby practice.

And I hope her pillows are always warm when she sleeps at night.

~~

By some miracle, a week goes by and I don't interact with her once.

Infact, Shan lets me come over to the Kavanagh/Lynch house to hang out after school.

The boys are at rugby practice, so it's just us, Claire, some wild dogs, and two little Lynch boys who keep bothering us.

Sean and Johnny's parents make an appearance every once and then, but they don't stay long outside with us because it is hot.

Scorching.

"Listen, Shan, it's beautiful out here, really. But is there really no way to beat the heat?" Claire pants, cringing slightly as she removes her sticky curly hair from her face.

Shan giggles as she takes a seat back down on the picnic-like blanket underneath us. She had got up to shoo Tadhg away.

"You could come in and borrow some clothes? I don't think I have any that will fit you but I have some shorts that might? They're baggy on me." She suggests.

Earlier she had left to change into a spaghetti strap top with navy-colored stripes, paired with denim shorts. She also put her hair up in a ponytail.

If Johnny was here, he'd be all over her like an ecstatic puppy. She's very pretty, especially with the sun beaming on her fair skin.

Claire smiles up at her, "That's sweet, Shan, but you're tiny. Your shorts will squeeze me in every place and I'm not trying to get whistles from your little brother again."

Shannon hums softly in understanding, pulling her knees up to her chest as she admires the view.

"The boys should be done with practice soon," I brought up. "Hopefully when they stop by they have extra clothes."

I start thinking about Hugh and guilt lodges itself into my chest.

I'm a cheater. I kissed Lizzie and.. I don't regret it.

That's what angers me. But what about him? What if he finds out?

I get dragged away by my thoughts because Ollie comes crawling over to us on the grass, whining and blabbering about Tadhg.

"Shannonnn, pleeaseeee, I just wanna hang out with you guyss," Ollie begs as Tadhg comes walking up, dragging him away by gripping his ankles.

Ollie whines again with a pout, but Tadhg plops his arse down right next to Claire, ignoring him.

I suppress a giggle.

"Hi, ladies. What are we talking about? Johnny and Shannon's sex life is always fun to bring up in conversations. Did you know that Mammy K took away all of Johnny condoms-"

"Tadhg, shut! Up!" Shannon squeals, her cheeks flushed crimson as he snickers and continues anyway.

"-So that they would stop fucking? Because Johnny won't do anything if he's not wrapped up. And everytime he would try to sneak a new box in the house-"

Shannon yanks on his ear, pulling him down from his sitting position, and he screams for help as he inhales a mouthful of grass.

Ollie, Claire, and I all laugh. Ollie even snorts and then blushes in embarrassment.

Tadhg starts wincing in pain and Shannon quickly lets go of his ear, her eyes wide in concern as she pulls him close.

"Oh gosh, I'm sorry Tadhg, are you okay? I'm sorry, what hurts?" She asks, hugging him but cupping one of his cheeks at the same time.

He smirks as he looks back at Claire and I.

"-Everytime he'd try to sneak a box of condoms in the house, I'd send Ollie to find it and we'd both get a tenner from Mammy K!" He finishes his story with a proud huff.

Shannon groans as she pushes a snickering Tadhg off her.

After a few minutes he finally leaves us alone, taking Ollie with him.

I let out a sigh, my stomach growling softly.

I'm so hungry.
