School soon ended and Shayne acted like my bodyguard in the hallway again. Maybe he really does care.

Although what I don't get is, why me? I'm not special, unique, pretty, or anything. I'm just me.

"I'll see you soon, text me your address," Shayne told me.

"Okay," I responded.

I made my way to the bus and sat down in the first open seat. I put my bag next to me in an effort to stop people from sitting next to me since this wasn't a full bus.

The bus ride went by uneventful as usual. I remembered to text Shayne my address as soon as I flopped onto my bed.

The sound of the doorbell rang throughout the empty house. My legs started moving before my brain processed what was about to happen.

Shayne Topp was coming to my house.

We had a large, elegantly decorated house. The only bad thing about that is the lack of people make it feel so empty.

Nerves fluttered about in my stomach. Why was I so scared? Was it because I was scared of him asking to many questions or for other reasons?

I ignored the feeling and opened the door. I was greeted by a smiling Shayne. "Hey Francis."

I lightly punched him in the arm. "I thought we agreed on Court."

"I changed my mind," he smirked.

"Okay Frog Legs."

"Frog legs? Where the hell did you get that from?" He asked.

"When you put your arms up they look like frog legs," I giggled.

"Pfft Whatever, lets just do this."

"Okay frog legs."

He jokingly rolled his eyes.

We were sitting in my room. Tossing around idea. One of my younger sisters who was a sophomore opened the door. (They're juniors)

"Hey Court-oooh who's this."

"Back off," I giggled at my boy crazy sister.

"Are you single?"

"Okay thats enough! What do you want?"

"Oh I'm just telling you I'm staying at Lizzie's again."

"Okay now bye."

She closed the door and I heard her footsteps walking away.

"Well that was interesting," Shayne chuckled.

"You could call it that."

"Anyways what if we-"

—

"Bye Shayne!" I called as he walked out of the door.

"Bye Francis!"

"I'm gonna Murder you frog legs!"

"Fight me!"

I giggled as I closed the door. That was really fun.

As soon as I closed it, the door was opened again by Olivia. "Oooh why were you hanging out with Shayne?"

I giggled at her completely random entrance. "We were working on a project."

"Cool. Anyways, what's in the fridge?" She asked as she went to check it out herself.

Typical Olivia.
