Your POV
"So Yn, do you think you're free Friday night?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah why?" I replied.
"I was thinking that maybe you'd like to go out on a date with me." Shawn said, hopefulness evident in his voice.
My heart sunk. Shawn and I just met a month ago, during school. I only thought of him as a friend and my dad won't let me date anyone because he's strict as hell.
"Maybe..." I replied.
Honestly, my friend, YBFN, told me he liked me. I didn't want to hurt his feelings.
"Look, I had liked you ever since we met. I just haven't had the courage to ask you, until now." Shawn informed.
My heart sunk lower. Oh God, I don't know what to do.
"Um... I'll tell you my answer after school." I said.
"Yeah," He said rubbing his neck, "That's fine with me."
I slightly smiled and nodded. I got my things and hurried to my next class. YBFN had the same classes as me so she followed, an idiotic smile stretched on her face.
"So what are you gonna do?" She asked.
"I don't know. I only think of him as a friend, and I don't want to hurt his feelings." I whined.
"I might have had played a role in this." YBFN said.
I snapped my head towards her, "You know I can't date! Why would you do this? Why would you make me break his heart like this?"
I cried into my hands.
"You are 17 Yn! You should have the ability to date already! Where is that rebel in you that I know that's in there? It's in there somewhere, I know it." YBFN argued.
I lifted my head from my hands, "Well sorry to disappoint you, but there isn't."
Class started and I was dreading the class to end.

I tapped my foot, rapidly and anxiously. The bell rang and I packed my things. I sighed, This is gonna hurt.
I picked up my backpack and headed to the front. As I walked outside, Shawn came up from behind me and scared me.
"Hey!" Shawn greeted.
I jumped, a hand on my chest.
"You scared me!" I exclaimed.
He just chuckled.
"So did you think about it?" He asked.
I gulped, "Uh yeah I did."
The pit in my stomach bubbled with nervousness and dread.
"I'm sorry, but I can't. I'm not allowed to date." I said, "And I only think of you as a friend."
His expression fell, a frown etched on his face.
"I understand. Well I'll see you around." Shawn said before he walked off in a hurry.
"I'm sorry Shawn!" I called.
I was afraid this was going to happen...
(First of all, I was inspired to write this because I went through something similar to this recently. I can't believe I did it and I feel so guilty. Do you want me to post the story next?)
