The following day at school, everyone is talking about the incident at the park.
Why might you ask? Well, I suppose someone driving by the scene took pictures of Shane as he pulled Jacob away from the road, and now, he's labeled a hero.
I suppose I can't disagree. He did save Jacob's life. I just can't believe word spread this fast.
What I also can't believe is, so many eyes are on ME as I walk down the hallway.
I suck in my gut and try to keep my head down, as I make it to my locker. Angie and Jax are already standing by it, waiting for me.
"Guys, this is so awkward. People won't stop staring at me." I whisper.
"Um duh! Since Shane saved little Jacob, everyone thinks you and him are some item." She smirks.
My eyes widen in fear as I place my hand firmly on Angelica's shoulder. "Tell me you're joking?"
"Nope. Afraid not Addie." Her smile widens.
Dammit.
"So, the current gossip states that Shane Teller is a hero. Though, he must be a blind hero if he's interested in you." I hear the queen bee herself spew from behind me.
I silently curse to myself as I slowly turn around.
"Back off, Barbie." Angie steps in.
"Whoa, relax there. I am merely stating facts to follow-up with the story." Rebecca smirks.
"I um, I am not dating Shane. He is just a friend." I mumble.
"Please. Your only friends are standing beside you." She glares.
"Actually, you're right Rebecca. We are standing beside her." I hear his familiar, beautiful voice ring from next to Jaxon.
Rebecca looks up and sees Shane, which causes her eyes to widen a little. She then steps toward Shane and places a hand on his chest.
"Tell me sweetie, why on earth would you be her friend?" She points her glare towards me.
I look up at Shane, just as he looks over at me and we make eye contact. He gives me a small smile, before returning an icy glare back to Rebecca.
He grabs her hand and moves it from his chest, then he sighs. "Don't you have some guy to meet in some closet somewhere?"
I try not to snort.
Rebecca lets out a low growl, before her clinking heels are stomping away.
"Nice." Jaxon laughs.
Shane sends me another heart-stopping smile, before turning to walk away.
"See you in math, Add." He waves goodbye.
"See ya." I say a little too loud.
Once Shane is out of sight, I bang my head against my locker door.
"It honestly scares me how lame you are sometimes." Angie chuckles as she stands up straight from leaning against the locker beside mine.
"Shut up." I glare, before stomping towards our math class. Angie and Jax share a smirk as they follow behind me.
