Shadow

Walkby

Your P.O.V.

I had fallen asleep with the notepad in my hands. I got up and stretched, I pulled the covers off and hopped out of bed. I called an old friend of mine, old old friend. "Hey (y/n) what's up?" "can you do me a favor, a real big favor?" and that's when the plotting began. I asked him to be my 'John' and then I would see Shadow's reaction. Sometimes I wonder if some evil from my ex rubbed off on me. I got out of my house and walked towards Shadow's house. I was waiting for 'John' so I walked slowly. He actually didn't live very far away. That's what made it so perfect. I stopped walking when I saw him. "Hey (y/n)" "Hey Rick" his real name. "So what's your devious plan that I have to go along with so you can cope with letting him go?" "that's not what it is" "that's the understatement of the year" "anyways! I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend named John and your a businessman" he gave a cheeky smile.

I grabbed his arm and started walking with him. I walked in front of his house. "is this his house" he gave a little gasp. "sh" the door opened and out came Shadow. He was taking out the garbage, perfectly timed. "Oh hey Shadow" "(y/n)" he slowly walked over. "this is my boyfriend" "nice to meet you.." "John" he answered. Good, I could already see Shadows brain working. I think he doesn't believe he's my boyfriend already. "You two in a serious relationship" "Oh well, I-" "yea" I finished for him. "Highly doubt that.." I heard him say under his breath. He's jealous of your new boyfriend. Check. He already despises him. "Well we better get on our way" "uh-huh" Shadow gave us a two finger salute and walked away. "already hates your guts" "what?" "lets go" I dragged him back home.

I let him go back home and then I went to my house. I plopped down on my couch. I checked off another thing. Maybe I should check off two more things before I make my conclusion. Next one is, does he make a lot of physical contact. Oh jeez. I grabbed my phone, oh wait I can't call him. I walked back out the door. Maybe I don't want to see him. I saw Emerald outside watering the plants and grass. "Hey Emerald" "(y/n) right?" "yes, how did y-" "I've heard a lot about you" still talks about you. Check. "Oh, um. I was wondering if you would like to talk over dinner" "oh, well um..." say yes already. "Yea, I suppose we could do that. Were you thinking a girl on girl chat or are you gonna bring your new boyfriend" wow, talks about me frequently? "Yes, I plan on bringing him" "delightful" she chuckled and got up. "Well I must get inside, when were you planning this?" "tonight if that works in your schedule" "oh yes that's fine" "at the Crystal Rock" "perfect" She walked inside and shut the door. Dang, that was easy.
