I walked down the hallway to go to my locker. '' You can run but you can't hide!'' Some one screems in my ear. scaring the bijabers out of me. I turned around and I saw Shawn, '' I wasn't hiding, or running, you know that right?'' I say smiling back at him. I simular brunette was walking near us, as soon as we made eye contact I knew it was brittney. '' SHAWNY-POOOO!'' She screams in this really annoying girly voice. She ran up too him and jumped into his arms, I gave an awkward smile and turned back to face my locker. I never thought that they were exactly ''that'' kind of close. I can't beleive that I felt that shitty about it, I mean after almost kissing, I guess I thought it ment something. '' So where are we going on a date tonight?'' I hear Brit say, I turned to look back a little and her hands were round his neck and he was holding her by the waist. '' Well I mean- I was um- '' He says '' C'mon Shawny we havn't had some fun in a while!'' She says, talking less loudly on the ''Fun''part.
I grabbed my books and left, walking into the closest washroom. Christine walked in just as fast, ''Steph... Look, that didnt mean anything...'' She says walking up to me, I was looking in the mirror. ''Christine, whatever's going on between Brittney and Shawn isn't my problem.'' I say with a bit of guilt, I hated her and I obviously liked him. The bell rang and I walked right into my class, the whole class looked at me, cause you know I was late. '' Mrs. Stephanie, you're late.'' The teacher says looking at me, I was thinking about what I was about to say and then it hit me. '' Honestly sir, being ''on time'' to class after realising the guy you just realized you had the biggest crush on, being led on, thats almost like being concidered stupid, I think my ''exuse'' actually isn't that bad, now is there anything else you need to know?'' I repond taking time to look at Shawn. Taylor and Nash looked at me with big eyes and I nodded a slight yes. I went to sit beside Rachel, the teacher continued his regular class.
When the bell rang Brittney was already waiting at the door, ''Jeez Stephanie, wait up!'' Nash says grabbing my arm, I turned and faced him, his blue eyes looking at me, '' What was that? That speech in class? What did Shawn do?'' he asks coming closer to me. ''Nash... Shawn is your bestfriend, you should of known that he and Brittney actually have a thing.'' I say walking further down the hall until a reach my locker. '' Brittney and Shawn.... Yeah... Thats's the thing, Shawn actually really likes you. More then anybody actually, it's just that Brittney is a mistake he can't get over.'' He says taking a big sigh. I saw Rachel come our way and I closed my locker, Shawn was also coming our way, I turned and walked away. I leaned againced Hayes locker and sighed, ''Wow, Steph, never seen you sigh like that before, whats wrong?'' He asks. ''Shawn...'' I answer looking down. ''Asshole..'' He mumbles as he points his head in the left direction, I turned around and saw Shawn looking at me. He walked towards us, ''Hey... Steph can we, um, talk.'' He asks me, I sorta wanted to say yes but part of me told me it was a bad idea. I decided to actually go, '' Look, I'm actually really sorry-'' ''It's okay if your with brittany, Shawn.'' I say cutting him off, I tried not to look in those beautiful eyes. His head was down, he looked like an abandoned dog.
''I dont think you realise how much it sucks to be done what you've done.'' I say, trying to stand my ground. I really didn't want to get hurt, I really did like him, I wouldn't feel this crappy if I didn't.
