Bring It Back [DISCONTINUED]

TWENTY ONE

Cathy's POV

The next day, it was still Lexie who will be guarding Shawn but only half day. Chapman decided to talk her about her actions yesterday. Jim volunteered to guard Shawn again.

I went to my usual hangout place after breakfast which is the tech room. 

"Hey Alli, what's happening?" I asked, taking a sit beside her.

"Lexie's behaving that's good. She'll be leaving in, " she checks the clock "an hour."

Well finally the slut will go away. Wait, no. Lexie's a friend that can be a bitch sometimes, whatever. 

I shake my head to get out of my own thoughts. I decided to talk to Allison about random things. I'm glad Allison's that kind of friend who likes to listen yet can be talkative when she's into a topic.

Our conversation about Rocky Road ice cream vs Double Dutch was interrupted when Lexie came inside the room. She looks happy, so much happy.

"Omg, I can't believe my duty is done. But did you girls see Shawn's face yesterday? He was like 'Oh shit. This girl is freaking hot.' He was in awe when he saw me. Damn." Lexie proudly declaims. She even tried to copy Shawn's voice or accent.

I rolled my eyes at her. "Shawn doesn't even talk like that." I mumbled.

Lexie stared at me. "Well I'm sorry. It's hard doing a guy's voice because I'm a girl." She said.

"No, I mean the part where you said 'Oh shit. This girl is freaking hot.'" I imitated her voice.

"What's wrong with that?" Lexie puts her hands on her hips and raises an eyebrow.

"Shawn never thinks like that about girls. His into girls that has good traits, a great sense of humor and loves music and hugs." I said.

"How'd you know that?" Allison asks.

~~~

We sat on the corner block wall, eating ice cream and talking about random things. We spent our time together like this, just chillin'.

"Have you met the right girl yet, Shawn?" I asked out of no where.

He chuckled at my sudden question. "I thought I did. I'm not thinking about it right now. But maybe she's around here somewhere." Shawn looks around while eating his ice cream.

"What are you finding in a girl then?" 

"I'm looking for a girl," he think for a bit "who has a good traits. That's important. You need to be kind and you respect people. I love a girl who has a good sense of humor. And maybe she also needs to like hugs cause I like cuddling."

I nodded and ate my last piece of ice cream.

"Oh! She also needs to loves music. If she doesn't like it, I already know we're not for each other."

He jumps down the wall. "Come on, I gotta show you the arcade of this place. It's amazing." Shawn puts his hand on my waist to help me get down.

When I hopped down, he helped me so I kept my balance. We stared at each others' eyes; it lasted for about a minute. 

His eyes are so... mesmerizing. Like it's looking directly at my soul, melting it. I could stare at it for ages.

"Come on Cathy. This way to the arcade." He holds my hand and leads me. He looks back at me and he smiles. I chuckled at him.

~~~

I realize a few minutes later that I was frozen on my seat while Allison and Lexie were waiting for my answer.

"Stalking. I was checking out videos of him last night." I replied.

They seemed to accept the answer since they didn't talk anymore. I sighed at our memory.

Time quickly passed by. Shawn was alone for the rest of the day. His lunch and dinner was brought by Daniel. Squad K had lunch; we're having dinner right now.

"How's Mendes doing?" Allison asks.

"Lonely. He's not having fun." Jim says.

"I think we should let him out tomorrow." Chapman says.

All of us except him choked on our food or drinks. Daniel stood from his seat and rushed to the sink. I think water went to his nose. We looked at Chapman eyes wide.

"What I mean is we show him around the place. Let him know we have a gym, a library and furry pets." Chapman points out. 

Wow, we thought he meant we're setting free Shawn tomorrow. I don't know if that's good or a bad thing.

"Who's the guard?" Chapman asks.

"Cathy's scheduled tomorrow." Allison speaks up.

What?! No! You've got to be kidding me. Fuck. There is no way in hell I'm going to guard that guy. I saw Lexie smirk from the corner of my eye. What's up with her? She can't stop bugging me.

I stood from my place with my plate. I placed it on the sink.

"You ok Cathy?" Jim asks. I nodded.

"See you guys tomorrow. I'm heading to bed."

Before walking out, I heard the squad talk. "Do you think she'll do fine tomorrow?"

"Trust me, she'll be doing fine."

I went to my room, change into more comfortable clothes and slept to end this dreadful day.
