I Was Yours From the Start

It All Started With a Rose

-Shannon POV-

I wish I could sleep in just 5 more minutes. Even if I said that and did it the past 20 minutes. Well, it's once again the first day of school. Every year is the same routine. This year, however, I feel is going to be MY year. It's too early for this, after all the summer all nighters, I don't think I'm ready to go back to jail. But, oh well. This year I'm going to stay committed to school. No more distractions. But girls are just so tempting!! No, Shannon. It's now 6:30 and I'm out of the shower. I pick out a comfortable outfit, basically a Shannon outfit. It's a white v-neck, black ripped pants and a black hat with my black Vans. As I leave my house, I get a text from my best friend Ally: 

Ally - Hey sucker, can you pick me up?

Shannon - Yeah, I'll be there in 10

We still have 30 minutes before school starts. We both order coffee and as I park, I notice a gorgeous blonde. She must be new. We both get off the car and suddenly, I hear Ally say, "Earth to Shannon!" "Huh?" I reply. "Stop drooling, dude!" she teases. Let me get into detail. This girl is simply stunning. She's an average sized girl, about 5'4, she's wearing a romper with a black leather jacket and a black sun hat with some lace up heels. I feel myself day dreaming again. Ally and I are walking towards the office and we're arguing about  Kristen Stewarts beauty. "Every lesbian likes Kristen Stewart, Shannon." She says loud enough for everyone to hear. "Not this lesbian," I point at myself. "Yeah, whatever. I'll see ya later sucker. Love you!" She says.  I walk into the office to pick up my schedule, and I see the blonde again. This time I examine every detail."Hey, I'm new here. Do you know where room 201 is?" She asked. I stupidly respond, "Are you talking to me?" "Yeah, I mean there is no one else here," She giggles. Wow, I'm so dumb. "Umm, yeah. I can walk you there. Let me just pick up my schedule" I say. 

As we're walking, I try to start a conversation with her. "So, where are you from," I ask. "Pittsburgh" she responds with a small smile. We arrive to the classroom. "Well, here we are. I'm Shannon by the way." I give her a small smile. "Camden, but you can call me Cammie," she smiles. "All right, I'll see you later Cammie" I smile. I look down at my schedule and I notice that we have first period together. I walk back. "Well, looks like you enjoyed your time with me," She winks. Is she gay?! I really hope so. "We actually have Calculus together, I didn't look at my schedule." I laugh. "Sit by me," She says. I go sit next to her. She's gorgeous. Her green eyes are driving me insane. "So how long have you lived in California?" she asks. "Since Freshman year," I respond. "Nice, I like it here so far" she says. I feel the awkward tension between us. The teacher walks in and introduces himself. "Nice to see you again, Beveridge. Advanced Placement every year" he laughs. "Yes, sir," I respond. "Well class, since Shannon decided to sit somewhere else and make a new friend this year, how about I change it up a bit and ask you guys to move around with someone new this year,"  About 20 minutes into the lecture, Cammie slips a note next to me. Old school, I like it. I open the note and it says, "This class is so boring, he doesn't even give us time to socialize. Here's my number, text me. (818) 743-1368 ;)" I immediately text her. 

Shannon-Hey it's Shannon. It's only like this the first day, he's trying to act like a teacher for once. 😂

Cammie-Well, now I have your number. I'm actually not that bored 😂

She looks back at me and winks. Is this actually happening? Am I just exaggerating and getting the wrong hint? We'll have to find out. "Class is dismissed" The teacher suddenly says. "What class do you have next? I'll walk you" I look over to Cammie. "English, classroom 139" she complains. She looks so cute when she's mad. "Cool, my class is right next to yours. Let's just go drop this off to my locker," I point at my huge calc book. As we're walking, she's talking about random stuff. I'm not really paying attention to what she's saying. I'm just admiring her beauty. As we arrive to the English Hall, she gives me a hug goodbye. Her warmth is perfect. It makes me feel great. "See you later?" she asks. "Sure, meet me out here after class" I say. She looks back at me and winks. I feel my cheeks get beet red. As I walk into class I get a text. I look at my phone and it's from Cammie. 

Cammie-Woah, I've never seen someone get so red! 😂

Shannon-Shut up, it's allergies.

Cammie-Allergies? Hmm. To what? 

I hesitate to answer and I give a sarcastic answer

Shannon-School 😂

Cammie- Oh, I see. Same. I'll see you after class, pay attention cutie 😙

2 in 1! She called me cutie and sent me a kiss emoji. Woah. I don't feel like these are mixed signals anymore. This girl definitely likes girls. It's now lunch time and I see my two best friends sitting at a table not to far from us. I hear Jayden yell, "Hey Shan, over here" we walk over and Cammie introduces herself to Jayden and Ally. "Hey I'm Jayden but you can call me Jay" Jay gives Cammie a flirty smile. "I'm Cammie and you can call me gay. Like your name but with a G." She says with a small giggle. "Damn it!" Jay laughs. "Roasted!!!" Ally says enthusiastically. We all laugh. "By the way, I'm Ally, Shannon's one and only best friend." Ally says with an over protective tone. "Lunch is an hour long today guys, and I'm definitely not down to eat here. Let's go somewhere for lunch" Ally proposes. "Sure," we all say. "Starbucks? My treat." I say. "Your car, Shan" Ally  says. "Yeah I figured. I drove you here today. And I don't trust Jay with our lives," I laugh. As we're walking out, Ally and Jayden both yell shotgun in sync. They both sprint to my car and I lock the doors. "Yo, what the fuck? I got here first. It's fair and square." Ally says. Jayden starts tickling Ally so she can move away.  I look over to Cammie, and say, "Wait on it."  I laugh. "Both of you, back seat. Cammie is going shot gun" I demand. They both roll their eyes. "Keep rolling your eyes, and I'll roll out of here without you" I say. They both laugh and get in the backseat. 

We reach Starbucks and I order. "Want anything? I ask Cammie. "No thanks, I had a big breakfast. I'll just take a venti iced water, I'm dying of thirst!" She says. "I want a Caramel Frappuccino," Ally says. "You Jay?" I ask "The most expensive thing on the menu, please." He jokes. I get him his usual and I get all of us a slice of banana nut bread. We all sit and just have a conversation about how our day went. Cammie suddenly runs out. "Well, she's weird" Ally says. "She probably went to the restroom" I laugh. About 10 minutes later she comes back. She's hiding something behind her back. "Watcha got there?" Jay asks. "Something for your gorgeous best friend" she laughs. She sits down and gives me a rose. "Aww, you're so sweet! Thanks" I say. She gives me a kiss on the cheek. Again, I'm beet red. What is it with this girl? She drives me crazy.
