Unexpected

Tonight

Today is Nolan and I's 3 month anniversary. I woke up excited today, I just hope today goes as planned and Shawn doesn't get any funny ideas like yesterday. On my way to school, Shawn some how got my number. He texted me say, 'have a nice day today baby girl'. He's really doing too much calling me baby girl. I mean I barely know him. Who even does that? Anyway, I just hope he knows his place.

RING! RING!

I grab my books and head out the door. I dash to my locker to find a red card attached. On the front I read, 'For my baby girl'. Oh lord! Not him again. I stick the card in between my books and unlock my locker. Inside I find a bouquet of roses, heart-shaped chocolate, and a teddy bear. Right now I have a giant smile on my face. A sticky note stuck to the chocolate read: close your locker. Looking up, I slowly cracked my locker. "Happy anniversary baby", says Nolan reaching out for a hug. I jump to his embrace. "Happy anniversary!" I reply in excitement. People are staring at us but I could care less.

Nolan always goes out of his way for me. Most of the time I want to tell him I don't deserve all the things he gives me, but I just learn to accept them. Just imagine what's to come on our future anniversaries. I have goosebumps just thinking about it.

"I have another surprise for you, but you'll have to wait til' after school," he whispers in my ear.

"I wonder what it possibly could be..", I say with a smirk on my face. He grabs my chin and kisses me. "Love you honey."

I love you too.

Same day at lunch

I have a good feeling about today. As I'm walking to lunch, I feel someone bump me. I looked back and saw Jazz. "Omg you scared me. I thought you were 'him'." I told her glancing around. "Haha! Sorry," Jazz responded. We continued walking to the cafeteria, no sign of Shawn. So far this day has been good. As we enter the threshold of the cafeteria see Nolan and Shawn sitting at the same table. I instantly grabbed jazz and hid behind her as we walked to the lunch line. "Omg Jazz. Look to your right."

Jazz turned her head every which other way. Finally she spotted them. "Woah! What are they doing together?" I answered, " I don't know, but it cant be good."

"You think they're talking about you?" Jazz asked while looking at me. Still hiding behind her, I just looked at her. We finally made it to the line, trying to stay out of sight. More people cane behind us so we were fine. We went down the line gathering our food on our trays. "Welp. It looks like you have to face you problem now." I didn't want to go over to that table for nothing in the world. I just stood next the cash register. "Ashley!" Jazz yelled. "Ughhh. Okay. Here i go" As we made our over to the table, we caught Shawn's attention. I rolled my eyes and set my tray away from the both of them and Jazz sat closer to Shawn. "Hey baby girl", I instantly looked at Shawn only to find out that Nolan had said it. "Baby girl? Where'd you get that from?" I asked looking at Nolan. "Just something new i thought id start calling you," he replied. "Well don't," I glanced at Shawn with being noticed, "I don't really like that name."

The rest of lunch was silent. Not a word was said, only looks were given. Shawn seemed as if he couldn't keep his eyes off me. I don't know how he does it but Nolan never seems to notice anything he does. I just don't understand. I glanced up at Jazz, "You ready Jazz?" She nodded and we grabbed our trays in sync. Just as I was about to leave for the trash, Nolan stopped Jazz. What is he doing?? I see jazz stoop lower to listen to his whispering then shrug her shoulders. Nolan looked at me like worried and said something else to jazz and she nodded.

I turned around and made my way to the trash. Jazz caught up to me and said, "Nolan wants to talk to you. He thinks something is wrong and I didn't want to tell him anything." Hesitant to go back to the table, "I um.. cant. I have to use the rest of lunch to study for um.. this test I have." Jazz raised one eyebrow. "Really?" I nodded and began to walk to the doors. Jazz made it back to the table before I could leave. I saw her tell Nolan what I said and he seemed upset. I don't want Nolan to be mad at me for nothing but I always don't want to tell him what's been happening. There's a lot going on. I cant deal with it all at once.
