Almost Impossible

Chapter Five

*Ayla Cray and Angelina Summers*

Shane laughed at his silly joke which i didn't find funny.
"Stop it. It's not funny, we don't gossip about guys when we meet up"
"Speaking of guys. What's going on with you and that Fabian guy"
I stared at him blankly "Nothing, he's my best friend and i tell him a lot of things, we're pretty close"
"Seems to me like he's got a thing for you."
"What?.. no... you've gone crazy" i sneered. Looking out the window.
"Have you seen the way that guy looks at you lately? He's totally into you. I can tell"
"I doubt it. You're just imagining it because of how close we are. Besides, he not my type of guy"
"Oh yeah?" he stole a quick glance at me before turning back to the road.
"And who's your type of guy?... Me, i suppose." He was teasing, but he didn't realise how right he was. And i wasn't gonna let him know.
"Dream on, playboy" i sneered.
He placed his hands on his chest, faking heart break "You hurt my feelings sweetheart."
i rolled my eyes at him. "Such drama"
We got to Elm's Park five minutes later. Shane stopped the engine and we got down. He locked the car and we headed into the park.
Shane draped an arm around my shoulder and pulled me close. He started to talk about his football team and how unbearable his coach was. It was like a dream, having Shane this close. Although, i know this probably meant nothing but a way to pass the time for him. It meant everything to me. It was the first time we actually went out together. Alone.
The fountain was actually more beautiful than i'd anticipated, and like the name implied, it glowed. it was really pretty. and romantic too.
"Wow!" i exclaimed, completely fascinated by it.
"Yeah." Shane said. "It's beautiful, and magical. It's something i'd only ever come to see with a girl i liked." He gaze at me as he said that, in a way he never had before. and my stomach did some flip flops.

Does he like me?

Did he bring me here because he liked me?

Does he actually like me??

My heart was racing, if he kept staring at me like that, i might just melt.
"Shane!" The distant voice broke me out of my trance. I looked away from him towards the direction the voice came from.
I saw Paula walking towards us.
Paula is in my design class, she is usually always at the back. We never actually spoke to each other and i never really noticed her, until just now.
Shane's arm dropped from my shoulder as he walked over to meet her. "Hey, babe" he said and kissed her. My heart broke into a thousand tiny pieces.
With a hand around her waist. He walked over to me.
"You were right Mitchie, when you told me to find someone else. Meet Paula, my new girlfriend"
Girlfriend?
"Hi Michelle, its nice to actually speak to you" Paula said sweetly
"You two know each other?" Shane asked
"Yes," Paula replied. "We are in the same class."
"A minute, Paula" i said to her, just before dragging Shane away from her and walking away until we were safely out of earshot.
"You called her here?" It was more of a statement than a question
"Yeah, i asked her to meet us here" he said simply.
I stared at him in disbelief. "If you were gonna meet up with her, why did you have me come with you?"
"I didn't want your dad asking too many questions as to where i was going."
Tears stung at the back of my eyes, i couldn't believe what he was saying.
"So you're saying you just used me as an excuse to leave the house?"
"If you put it that way.... it sounds really mean" he was teasing, but i didn't find it funny. I had to swallow had to stop the tears from coming down.
"That's exactly what it is. I can't believe you'd do that to me."
He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
"Why are you so upset? You told me how much you liked this place......"
"........ and you thought, ooh i'm the perfect excuse to leave the house without any interrogations from dad." I interrupted
"Mitchie i didn't mean it that way." he said, but i was far from listening to him anymore.
"I've always wanted to come here, but not like this. Not as an excuse to come see your new girlfriend." i told him
"Mitchie, don't be like that....."
"Have fun with Paula."
I walked away from him just as the tears began to fall. I grabbed my things from his car and took a cab to Bell's house.

A/N

Hey guys, what do you think?
Is Mitchie a little sentimental or what?
Was Shane mean for using her that way or you can justify his reasons.
