Chapter 6

I sat at my table, sitting upright and being attentive. I scribbled down the supplies and books I need for my math class. Just the basics, pens, pencils, grid paper, a paperback practice math book and the actual math book with the equations we'll be going over this semester.

The original class is about an hour long but since it was the first day the professor let us go after 25 minutes. Giving me the whole day to myself. My English and IT classes aren't until tomorrow and Thursday so I should start preparing for those and then look for my book in the library.

I walked out of the classroom looking down at my phone but also making sure to look up every once in awhile so I don't run into anyone. I slid my fingers across the screen searching online for my math book to see if I can either rent it for a cheap price or find it for free. As I walked I heard a familiar voice from around me. I immediately looked up and saw him... Shawn. He was talking to a guy.

"Yeah man, thanks so much for the help." He thanked the person he was talking to while he had a wide beautiful smile on his face, flashing his pearly white teeth. And his voice... it seems eo much deeper. I wonder how he sings now? Does he even sing ever since that day in the auditorium?

As I was lost in thought Shawn shook the guy's hand and started walking away. I snapped out of it and quickly started walking up to him. He pushed the door open to the staircase avoiding the elevator. I practically ran to the door trying to catch it before it closed but sadly couldn't, having it close on my face. I quickly pulled open the door and he was right there, right in front of me. He was so much bigger than me now, He was maybe 6'2? Meanwhile, I only stayed at 5'2. His shoulders were broader, he was so... ripped. He just stood still with his head down and his arms in front of him, probably checking his phone.

"Shawn," I spoke out to him. And as if my words could freeze people he just stood completely still. "Shawn." I chuckled as I placed a hand on his back. It felt so strong.

Just when I expected him to turn around and give me a great big hug with his...uh...great big arms. Instead, he scoffed not even turning his head and started walking to the stairs.

"W-Wait Shawn?" I questioned following him.

I ended up following him all the was from the 3rd floor to the 1st.

"Shawn?" I asked continuing to stare at his back.
"Fuck off." His deep voiced mumbled at me.
"E-Excuse me?" I asked looking at him surprised. He stopped walking right before the entrance to the 1st floor from the stairs. Making me stop as well.
"Cecilia Grace Marling..." He sighed.
"Shawn are you-"
"Ok? I'm fucking great." He cut me off finishing my sentence as he turned around with a smug smirk on his face. I smiled when I was finally able to see his face.
"Shawn you've-"
"Changed for the better. And I felt so much better once I got out of that fucking garbage school. Away from you and your asshole boyfriend." He seethed through his teeth. My smile dropped.
"What?" I croaked.
"What?" He mimicked me, "What, what Cecilia? I know everything now, I know you never fucking cared. I know that now, all you cared about was your popularity."
"I-I don't know what you're talking about?" I questioned, confused as to what he was talking about.
"Oh, you don't? Me finding out you never really liked me? You didn't know that huh?"
"No... no, Shawn, I liked you. I-I kissed-"
"Kissed me out of some sick fucking joke right? I know! I know that!" He yelled at me, making me flinch back but he wasn't lightening up.
"You know what your dickhead boyfriend told me? EVERYTHING. He told me that you were only nice to me to build up a fake relationship just to crush me in front of everyone on graduation day. I thought you were so cute, so sweet! I thought you actually liked me but holy fuck was I wrong!" He kept yelling.
"Excuse me?!"
"You know I didn't believe him at first. I thought, 'no way! Cecilia is the most incredibly sweet girl in the whole world, she'd never hurt a soul'. Until Lisa opened my eyes."
"Lisa?!"
"Yeah, she told me about all the horrible things you've done, how you'd stick gum in the girl's hair that you didn't like, cheated on Lucas, constantly!"
"I'm sorry are we still talking about me? Or are you confusing me for Lisa herself?!" I asked, flabbergasted by the lies I'm hearing.

"Oh no, she told me you'd do this because you're so manipulative. Yeah, she ratted you the fuck out. How horrible of a person can you be to make her cry the way she did to me?! Me of all people she felt so bad by your plans that she actually cried you, little devil." He scoffed crossing his arms. So confused and mad I looked down. My head started hurting.
"Sh-Shawn I really... I-I don't know what you're-" I was cut off by long slender fingers slipping under my chin to lift it up. He slowly moved his face closer to mine until it was merely inches away.
"You tried to convince me that you liked me, gave me hope. Now it's my turn." He whispered in a low raspy tone of voice then immediately crashed his lips against mine.

My eyes shot wide open, his eyes were closed. I tried to pull away but before the kiss, he slid his fingers from my chin up to my cheeks. He held me in place by them, they were sinking into my cheeks making it sting.

I reached up to his hand that was holding me hostage and yank it off of my face. I pulled away as quickly as possible while our lips made a smacking noise when I did. Still holding his arm, I lifted my available hand up high and brought my palm down hard across his face. It was a loud smack and his head jerked to the side. Giving it my all made my hand sting and burn but at this moment that was the least of my worries...

"How dare..." I breathed out in shock unable to finish my sentence. Shawn just pulled his arm out of my hand and stood straight up, covering his cheek where I struck him. He glared at me as he licked his lips but immediately spat at my feet. He then wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. I felt nothing but anger fueling me as I glared back at him, unphased by his actions anymore. I huffed and pushed him out of my way as I stormed out.
