The Fandom That Stayed

New Friends

Shawn

You want a ride to school?

Sage

Sure. I'm almost ready. Is Cam's car still in the shop?

Shawn

Yeah. So we'll pick him up, too.

Sage

Okay, sounds good. Um, about yesterday..

Shawn

When I held your hand was nice if that's what you are thinking about.

Sage

Yeah, I liked that too, sweet gesture.

Shawn

I'll hold it again then. Be there in 10.

Sage

Alright.

I can't stop thinking about when Shawn took my hand. Holding him was pretty nice, too.

But I stop drooling when I hear Shawn pull up in front. I grab my backpack off the bed and run downstairs.

He gets out and opens the door and I get in. He runs around the front knowing Cameron's waiting. "So, second day. Which is my day for new friends." I explain to him.

"What do you mean, you have us, right?" He asks with a puppy dog face.

"You know, unless you want to go to Victoria's secret with me, I need to get some girlfriends."

"That actually sounds fun, when can we go?" He asks laughing.

"Oh, shut up," I tell him and punch him in the arm.

I see we're pulled up in front of Cam's house. He comes running out the door but before getting in the back, he knocks on my window.

"What?" I ask after rolling it down.

"Nothing, just checking you out close up." He smirks at my outfit.

"Wow, oh, wow, just get in." I order.

"Cam, don't check her out", Shawn says, "that's my job." Then mumbles.

The drive was slow because California has construction, too.

"Okay, I'll meet you guys at lunch," Cam says leaving me and Shawn at our class door.

We have the same lunch, which is awesome since I thought I was going to be alone. The late Bell rings and I prepare myself for the boredom about to come.

_-_

Me and Shawn walk out of class sighing about the homework which I shouldn't have, I mean, it's my second day!
But, it's cool, Shawn said we could study at his house and he'll catch me up. That should go well.

"Okay, me and Cam will meet you downstairs after fourth period for lunch, okay?"

I nod to confirm, while getting lost in the accent and eyes, ugh! I can't help it!

"You okay?" He asks.

"Yeah, just pretty lost right now." I explain.

We walk to my locker. Before I can open it, he grabs my hand and kisses it.

Okay, I swear I'm melting, and I'm not even the wicked witch.

"Aww, that's sweet." I say with strawberry cheeks.

"Not as sweet as you, Sage. Meet me downstairs before lunch."

"Alright, bye."

"Bye."

I open my locker still feeling like chocolate that's been left in the sun too long. I still am lost in my thoughts but head to second period.

As I walk down the hall to my class, I hear the minute bell and start running. But, I accidentally run into someone, making us both drop all our things.

Just. Like. Yesterday. Come on!

"Sorry, it's my fault," she is really shy I think.

"No. It's mine, I was running. My name's Sage Ryan."

"Hi, Sage, my name's Ashley. Ashley Beckham," She says.

"Well, Ashley, what class do you have now? We hear the late bell, but whatever.

"Right now, Mrs. Yoast, choir." She says while I get out my schedule.

"No way, me too, why didn't I see you yesterday? It was my first day."

"Sick, I had a cold." She says.

"Oh. Well that's walk together."

"Okay." She agrees and puts her arm in mine.
