  Shawn stood rooted to the spot, watching until I was out of sight.

  His face still held a trace of displeasure.

  His friends beside him quickly tried to smooth things over, "Ah, Quinn just wants to save face, she's just putting on a brave front."

  "Just you wait, Shawn, she'll regret it before the night is over."

  "Maybe as soon as we leave, she'll be back digging through the trash can in tears."

  Shawn chuckled at their words:

  "Let her do whatever she wants.

  If it weren't for the sake of our families, who would have the patience to deal with her?"

  Alright, alright, don't be mad. We have to celebrate tonight, don't let her ruin our mood."

  Shawn glanced at his beautiful new girlfriend.

  He pushed aside thoughts of Quinn's annoying face.

  She would be waiting for him downstairs at his dorm, clinging to him on the way to class.

  He had seen this drama play out countless times over the years.
