ALEXANDER’S POINT OF VIEW
Shannon left me while I was too dumbfounded to even speak.
~She blames me for everything that has happened to her. Maybe I was wrong when I said I could change her.~
Tammy came running towards me. She stopped in front of me and took deep breaths.
“Have you seen Shannon?”
I looked behind me but Shannon was nowhere to be found.
“Alex, are you okay?”
I shook my head.
“Did something happen?”
“She blames me for ruining her life, Tam.”
She looked a little confused.
“Why does she blame you?”
I shrugged my shoulders.
She held my hand and said, “Don’t worry, Alex. I’ll talk to her.”
Then, she left me to talk to Shannon.
I let out a sigh.
The crowd outside the library caught my attention. They were gossiping about something but I don’t really care what they were talking about.
I was about to take a step when my phone rang.
“Hello?”
“Dude, do you have some money left? I need to go to the grocery store. I’m a little hungry.”
I cleared my throat.
“Who is this please?”
“Alex, it’s Craig. Dude, are you okay?”
“Oh. Sorry, Craig. I just felt a little tired. I don’t really have much money left. Maybe you should call Tammy.”
“Okay. Thanks, bro.”
Then, the call ended.
I let out a sigh.
~That person really has serious guts. He lives at my house and asks me for money. Ugh. He’s a nightmare!~
My phone rang once more.
“Hello?”
“Alex, I found Shannon. Meet us at the cafeteria.”
Before I could even reply, the call ended.
I walked my way towards the cafeteria without second thoughts.
SHANNON’S POINT OF VIEW
I was crying on one of the cafeteria’s table when someone called for me.
“Shannon!”
I looked to see who it was. I wiped my tears away when I found Tammy Johnson jogging towards me.
I sniffed.
“Hey,” I greeted her.
“Are you okay?”
~Uh ... Do you really have to ask me that? Isn’t it obvious?~
But I just shook my head.
She sat down beside me and said, “I’m sorry I wasn’t able to help you.”
I just looked down.
“What really happened, Shannon?”
I cleared my throat.
