She was different to any student he had ever come across. She was quiet, read books, didn't party, but behind the silence was a sadness that radiated from her. It was as if he couldn't help himself, he wanted to be what she needed. The only problem...
That was the first thing I heard as I walked into school on Monday morning. And he sounded pissed. I've never seen Shawn look even remotely angry but he looked pissed as he grabbed my arm and angrily whispered it in my ear. I hadn't thought anything of it. He can't be angry at me for anything. But I couldn't lie I was a bit worried. I hadn't spoken to him since we spent the night together the other night. He didn't text me about tutoring on Sunday so I ignored him. I had to be honest, I didn't want to talk to him. But it was too late. English seemed to whizz by faster than usual and I was shocked when the bell rang as soon as it did. I sent a discreet text to Thomas saying I was staying after school and to leave without me. I truly didn't want him to leave but with Shawn staring at me I had to get him to leave. "If you're just going to sit there and sulk I'm going to leave" I said packing up my bag and standing up. "Sit down" he said tapping his fingers on his desk. "I want to talk about this weekend"
I sat and raised my eyebrows at him. What the hell is he on? "There's nothing to say" I shrugged and crossed my arms defensively. "Oh so we're not going to discuss the fact that you said yes to being his girlfriend then? We're just going to forget that?" He raged and I couldn't help but snigger. "Shawn you cant say shit! You were there with another woman! That I had no idea about! You knew where I stood with Thomas all through it I told you everything! So don't you start on me there" I laughed and he opened his mouth to say something but immediately shut it again. "That's what I thought" I said standing up again.
"Faye it's not like that me and Hailey we, we just" "Sounds like it's exactly like I thought then. Honestly Shawn it's fine but you should of told me" I said shrugging swinging my bag over my shoulder. "Why? Why should I tell you?" "Because you were just leading me on. You asked me on a date the other night and I fucking slept round your house Shawn. I was so hoping you were going to make this official between us but then the next thing I know you're on a date, in the same restaurant as me, with someone else" I said and he stood up from his desk. "You wanted to make this official?" He said being all soft and sweet again. I rolled my eyes and ran my fingers through my hair. "Of course I wanted to. I wouldn't of said yes to the date, I wouldn't of stayed over if I didn't want to" I said and he got closer. He reached out and squeezed my upped arm. "I would make this official. Hell let's do it!" He smiled and I walked away from him. "I can't do that to Thomas" "Yes you can look me and Hailey aren't even dating! I don't like her I like you" "Shawn I really like you. I really like you and I think you're-"
"Shawn are you...oh I'm sorry" "Hailey no it's ok" Shawn said and I raised my eyebrow at him. No it's not ok. "Our reservation is at five. Just wanted to remind you" She said before winking and walking out. "Not dating my ass" I spat at him. "Faye please" "Oh fuck off Shawn. You blew it." I said tears pooling in my eyes. "Are you crying? Please don't cry" he said holding his large hands out. "I really did like you Shawn. But even as a teacher, a man, you're still just like the rest of the boys. A heartbreaking disappointment" I cried before walking out of his classroom and closing the door.
I stomped almost blinded by tears to the car park. "Oi!" I heard and I turned round wiping my eyes. There was a roar of an engine and I smiled walking over to my now boyfriend. But rolled my eyes when I saw an added extra. "Hey Faye! Thomas was showing me his bike! He looks sexy doesn't he in that jacket" "Yeah. He's my boyfriend so I think he does" I smiled and Thomas reached over and gave me a kiss. "Oh shit you two..." "Yep. So if you could. It would be really nice to stop eye fucking him" I said and Caras face dropped. She huffed a few times and stumbled over words before just stomping away. "I hate her" "You two were best friends like a month ago" Thomas laughed. "Yeah but she's always been hmm" I said and he got off the bike giving me a hug. "What's wrong I saw you crying" "Mendes giving me shit but I'm fine honestly it might just be my period" I laughed at his face. "Does that mean I can't come over this week?" "No. It means that you have to come over every day and give me love" I said and we both laughed. It felt good good with Thomas even if it couldn't be for very long.

After an uneventful bike ride to my house Thomas came over as my mum was cooking dinner. "Hey Thomas sweetie how are you?" She said as he came into the kitchen. "Good thank you and you?" "Happy now I know you are finally dating my daughter" Mum laughed as I gave Thomas a hug. "I'm sorry it took so long" Thomas laughed as Thomas held me into his side and I blushed. "You be good to her before you leave" Mum said and Tom laughed. "Trust me I will. I promise" he said sweetly and I reached up to kiss his cheek.
After Thomas had left me and Mum sat in the kitchen just on our phones infront of the TV. "What happened with Mr Mendes?" She suddenly came out with. "Shawn fucked me over" I said and she shrugged. "That's men for you. What did he do?" "He took me on a little date and I thought he really did like me Mum and I really liked him. A bit of me still does. But all along he was just seeing someone else the whole time" I explained to her. "Sounds like a bit of an asshole then" she said getting out the ice cream and placing it infront of us. "Thomas is better. You know he'd never hurt you even with this whole him leaving and mutual break up things" she laughed and I nodded. "He is pretty perfect for me" I said shovelling in the ice cream. But for some reason I just couldn't forget about Shawn no matter how hard I tried to push him out he would always pop back into my thoughts. I couldn't let him ruin what I have with Thomas. No matter how much I wanted him to.
