'Psst', Dania whispers from behind me during study hall.

I turn around and face her. "What is it?", I hiss

She hands me her phone to show me a meme, struggling to contain her laughter (A/n; All I want in liked is a friend like this tbh)

I laugh and roll my eyes, handing her back her phone. I go back to doing my homework but then get a text message from Dania. I turn around and give her a dirty look before reading it.

Dani👯💯❤️: do you have any pads in your locker?

This time it's my turn to try and contain my laughter

Crystal: yeah, my locker combo is 37-08-20

Dania gets up and asks the teacher to go to the restroom, giving me a thumbs up before leaving. I shake my head and go back to solving my homework.

>>>><<<<

"Hey Mendes", I say, ruffling his hair as I take my seat beside him during history class

"What's up, Pasca?", he fixes his hair and reaches over to mess up my hair. I dodge his hand and chuckle at his failure.

"How's Aaliyah doing today?"

"A lot better, thanks"

The bell rings and all the students take their place as Mrs. Patterson greets us. She starts a new lesson and reminds us about our presentations towards the end of the period.

"Alright class, have a great weekend. And please try to get your presentations done by Monday"

The bell dismisses us and Shawn and I get up and leave the classes together. "Any plans for the weekend?", he asks as we stop by his locker.

"As of now, none. What about you?"

"Ryan and a couple of the guys are going to the skatepark today. Not sure if I'll go though"

Shawn was friends with Ryan? Since when? Did he know that Ryan is my ex? It's not that I have a problem with them being friends or anything I jus-

"Crystal!", Shawn yells, snapping me out of my thoughts. "I was saying, if you wanted to go watch a movie later, I could cancel with the boys and we could go to the cinema"

My heart flutters, he was willing to cancel his plans to go out with me. I smile at him, "go hang out with your friends Shawn. We can hang out tomorrow. Plus, Dania always has plans for Friday, so I doubt I'll be staying home", I explain

He smiles at me and nods his head towards the entrance, gesturing for us to leave the building.

"Need a ride?", he asks once we reach his jeep

"I should be fine. It's not that hot today, thanks anyways Shawn"

"Are you sure?"

I nod, "see you tomorrow Shawn". He nods and drives away.

I start walking down the street.

"Crystal!"

I look behind me to see who called me - Ryan. I stop walking and wait for him to catch up.
