Summer Sadness

Chapter 30 | Single Crystal

Jenn.

*2 months later*

"Ok class. You have one week to show me a painting about love. Be creative. I dont want to see 2 people just kissing. You could give me that but more creative. Go"

Love? Perfect. Thats all that has been on my mind. Me and Shawn have been together for 2 months and its been amazing. Knowing Crystal was trying to get Shawn and I together was so sweet.

I finish up sketching out what i was gonna do for my project and was very proud. The bell rang and me and Daniel were still packing up.

Me and Daniel have talked here and there but not as much as we used to. I didnt think we were gonna be this awkward. Well i try to make a conversation he just never seems to talk much.

"Hey Daniel you want to grab a smoothie?" I walk over to him.

"Uh no thanks im good.." He grabs his painting and walks out.

I sigh and start walking out.

"jenn?" The teacher calls me.

I turn around and go to her desk.

"Yes Mrs. Martin?"

"Ive noticed Daniel has been struggling and been down lately. It shows in his art and personality, and i noticed you have been very friendly and tried to help. Do you know what is going on by chance?"

"Well..uh" i stuttered.

How do i explain he is upset that he used to like me and i turned him down for someone else to a art teacher?

"Love problems?" I say.

"You said no to him didnt you?"

"What?" My eyes widen.

"Jenn. I know you were listening on me and Daniels conversation a couple months back. I saw your shadow" she explains.

"Oh..haha...sorry" i say awkward and nervous.

"Its ok...so you said no to him and he is upset?"

"Well i kinda said no because i like someone else...and now were dating" i bite the side of my lip.

"Ah..i can see why thats a bit depressing"

"Or a lot" i mumble.

"Well im glad you are trying to keep up a friendship but i wouldnt talk much to him till this art work is due" she smiles.

"Uh ok?" I say confused.

"Bye Miss Davis"

"Bye"

I was alone in my dorm jotting down any ideas i had. This note book was filled with notes with any ideas. Gifts for birthdays to paintings i could make. As im writing my last idea Shawn walks in.

"Thanks for knocking"

"I didnt think you would be changing in the middle of the day or something so i didnt need to knock" he sits on my bed next to me.

"More ideas?" He leans back putting on arm behind me.

"Yep but im all done now" i shut the book and i get up and lay it on the desk.

I look back at Shawn and smile. I sit on his lap and we start kissing. He puts his hands around my waist and light moves his hands up and down. My hands were on his checks but moved to his shoulders.

Shawn leaned back laying on the bed making me on top. As he was about to take off my shirt ,slowly, we hear keys going into the key hole on the other side of the door. Me and Shawn quickly separated and acted as normal as we can.
