~JOEYS POV~

He was staring at me, ‘was there something in my hair?!’ I thought to myself. I quickly became self concious of my appearance. “I’m Joey” I said, attempting to break the silence between us.

“Shane.” He replied.

“Are you here alone?” I questioned him.

“No actually a came with my friend Shanna,” the boy who now had a name said, with a smile. He has a really cute smile.

“Shane, it’s time to go!” some African-American girl came up to him, looking mad. Is she his girlfriend? I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

“Shanna I don’t wanna go though…” Shane replied.

‘Her name is Shanna,’ I noted in my head.

“Shane, Please!? We need to go!” she begged.

“Fine, but just let me say bye, I’ll meet you in the car.” Shane explained.

Shanna nodded her head, and turned around and walked away. It looked like she was about to cry. I wonder what happened to her. 

Shane turned back to me. “It was great meeting you, Joey,” he said with a smile. This smile made butterflies start flying around my stomach.

“You too, Shane!” I replied with a toothy grin. “Wait! Before you go… may I see your phone?” I asked, hoping for the answer ‘yes’. Shane didn’t say a word, he just grabbed his iPhone and unlocked it, and then he handed it to me. My cold fingers briefly brushed against his soft warm ones. A shot of electricity shot up my arm. I looked at him to see if he might have felt it too. I studied his face, but it was too dark for me to see the emotion in his eyes. I took it from him and found the ‘Contacts’ icon and tapped on it. I quickly entered my name ‘Joey Graceffa’ and then I added my number. I clicked the ‘Save’ button and then locked his phone. “Here,” I said handing it to him. He took his phone and then turned around, walking away without another word.

I was sad that he just walked away without saying goodbye...

~SHANES POV~

I sat on the sofa, looking into this boy’s beautiful bright green eyes.

“I’m Joey” he spoke, breaking me out of my train of thought.

“Shane.” I replied simply.

“Are you here alone?” he asked me.

“No actually I came here with my friend Shanna.” I said smiling.

“Shane it’s time to go” Shanna said, coming out of nowhere, looking mad as hell! She totally ignored Joey.

“Shanna I don’t wanna go though…” I replied, looking over to Joey, he seemed to be in deep thought.

“Shane please?!” Shanna asked again.

I gave up; Shanna always got her way with me and I was afraid she would explode if I refused to leave one more time.

“Fine, just let me say goodbye? I’ll meet you in the car.” I explained.

Shanna shook her head ‘yes’ and then walked away with tears forming in her eyes. I turned around and saw those big green eyes looking at me.

“It was great meeting you, Joey.” I said with a grin.

“You too, Shane.” He replied, giving me a smile. “Wait, before you go... May I see your phone?” he asked, politely.

I didn’t reply, I just grabbed my phone and unlocked it, and then I handed it to him. Our fingers brushed against each other. A tingly feeling reached my fingertips. I felt blood rushing up to my cheeks. I looked into Joey's eyes; hoping he felt something too. He looked at me briefly before he went back to my iPhone screen.  Joey clicked something and then began clicking more things as if he was writing a book. A few seconds later, Joey locked my phone and handed it back.

“Here!” he said smiling.  I grabbed it and then turned around without saying anything else. I felt really bad that I didn't say a goodbye or look behind me. 

I needed to see what was wrong with Shanna.
