Skylar's POV.:

Shawn' sighed loudly and that was the last thing he did before leaving the room.
He is acting weird, but I don't want to push him.

Shawn's POV.:

I walked out and left her all alone in there. Instead of talking to her, instead of telling her how I feel I had to be a pussy and leave. A couple days ago I saw a little park with some benches near the campus. I walked there and sat down on one bench and pulled out my phone. I opened the instagram app and searched for Skylar's profile. After ten minutes I was about to give up when I saw a profile with her picture as the profile picture. Gladly, she wasn't private. I clicked on the last picture she posted. It was a selfie, at first I thought that there was nothing suspicious about it but then I saw 29 comments. I pressed on the comments and saw that everyone commented 'Happy early birthday'. That means her birthday should be soon. I kept scrolling through the comments and saw one that said 'Wishing you a happy birthday so I don't have to do it tomorrow :P'. Skylar's birthday is tomorrow. My eyes darted to my watch, it is 6:38 PM. I quickly ran to my car and started it. Luckily I had my wallet in my back pocket. I drove to the mall and parked my car. What do you even buy a girl? I mean it's even harder since we aren't a couple we are just ... I don't know what we are.
I wish we would be more than just 'roommates'.
I quickly pushed the thought aside and walked inside the mall. At first I went to 'Barnes&Noble' since I knew how much she loved books. A woman, who probably works here, came up to me and smiled.
"How can I help you?" she asked politely. I remember how on our first day she said that Shakespeare is her inspiration.
"Do you have any Shakespeare books?" The woman nodded and told me to follow her. She showed me some of his books like Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet but there was nothing where I was like, damn I have to buy it. Then she showed me another book. For one second I thought about buying myself that book because I like shakespeare too but she is my number one priority right now. The book was a Shakespeare biography. It included informations about him, his life, his books, his stage plays literally everything. I was completely sure that she was going to fall in love with it. I paid for the book and left the store. Okay so I only have one present for her and that's not even close to enough. She deserves to be spoiled to death. As I kept walking a necklace caught my eye. I walked over to the jewellery and looked closer at it. It was a silver Necklace with a Letter. The price wasn't that high so I'm going to get her this too.
"Hello, I wanted to ask if you have the letter 'S' for this necklace?" I said showing the man the jewellery that I wanted. He nodded, showed me the Letter and put everything in a black box. I thanked him and walked outside. My phone buzzed in my pocket and just as I took it out the apple logo appeared on the screen, signalling me that my battery was dead. I kept looking around but never found anything. The stores slowly closed and I walked to my car. I drove back to the campus and quickly got into our room. I ran to the closet and hid the presents behind my clothes.
"Shawn! Where were you?" I turned around only to see a mad Skylar.
"I just drove around..." I made up a lie. Oh, how bad I feel lying to her.
"You could've told me that. I called and messaged you but you didn't even bother to pick up!" She kept yelling and yelling. I have to admit she looks so hot when she is angry. She still didn't shut up that means I have to do something to shut her up. I walked into the kitchen with her following close behind me.
"How about you stop ignoring me Shawn?!" I gripped the counter tightly trying to control myself. Without succeeding. I turn around and push her up against the fridge. My face close to hers, her cheeks flushing.
"You prefer this instead of me ignoring you?"
