As soon as the bell rang I ran out of French over to the coat pegs, I stood there breathing deeply, rehearsing my "speech" in my head. I watched as people slowly started to flow out of lessons when I was suddenly startled by Brooklyn.
"Shaun!" She said from behind. I turned around to look at her but before I knew her arms were gripped tightly round my neck. "I haven't seen you today!" She said excitedly.
"Yeah, I know." I replied carefully. And then I saw him. Brooklyn was rambling on about something whilst I secretly watched Oscar, he looked as if something was on his mind.
"C'mon Shaun, come play for a bit!" Robyn said, meaning for me to go play football with them for about ten minutes.
"I'll be there in a bit..." I replied.
"Hmm. Suit yourself them." Robyn shrugged before running off.
Through the corner of my eye I saw Oscar walk into the bathroom. "Hey, why don't you go outside and wait. I'll be there in a bit, just gotta.... go." I said looking at Brooklyn. She replied with an okay and kissed me on the cheek before running off outside. I rolled my eyes and walked into the bathroom.
"Uhh... Umm... Hi Shaun!" He said. I didn't reply I just stood there... stupidly... staring at him.
"Are you... Uhh... Okay?" He said, watching me closely.
"Oh yeah hi, I am just... fine... but I need to speak to you." I said walking towards him. This was bad. Now I couldn't get out of it and I had to tell him. I was worried until he replied with: "I need to speak to you too..." I was shocked and walked over to him. We stood in the far corner and watched as people came in, and then left again. We waited. I then leaned over towards his ear.
"I hate you!" I whispered.
