Becca's P.O.V.

Once I'm done skimming threw my makeup I make my way out the front door.

I get to school and begin searching, okay, why am I doing this?

After searching for what seems like forever, I spot a smiling, shaggy haired boy with what seems to be wearing a gray track sweatshirt and blue jeans that fit perfectly against his muscles. Not to mention his...

WOAH getting way off topic here, c'mon Becca.

I'm doing it, I'm doing it... I'm not doing it. I'm frozen in the middle of hallway when I see a girl. Oh no, oh no. Ashley. She is making her way towards him.

My blood boils, I ball my fist, and my jaw tightens.

She honestly looks like a clown. Really what do guys see in her?

Ashley and I used to be friends in junior high but, then she ditched me for her slut army.

Speaking of, they follow right behind her as she stops in front of Shawn.

They begin to speak... what are they saying? Oh no, Shawn turns to look at me and Ashley's eyes follow.

Look away

I tell myself but I can't, I'm frozen.

They turn away and my breathing becomes panicked as she uses full force to stick her tongue down his throat.

All it takes for me to finally move my feet is the sight of his hands moving to her hips.

I can't stand to see anymore, I turn and lose my balance. From the ground I look forward, they both look at me before I pick myself back up and run off.

"Becca wait!"

Technically, he didn't do anything he can kiss whoever he wants. What am I saying? I - I like him. No. No I don't... not anymore.

Becca, you are not going to cry over this boy. He means nothing. Let's move on. Don't let him do this to you. Not again.

****

I manage to ignore Shawn for the rest of the day. We exchange a few awkward glares, but that's it.

I get the sickest feeling in the pit of my stomach when I look at him, I can't get it out of my mind... I can't get the two of them out of my mind, together. When it comes time for 6th period, lunch, I sit next to Natalie.

"So what's up with you and Shawn?" Natalie turns asking me with a grin. It takes me a few seconds to process what she is saying.

"Oh yeah, there is nothing there" I say struggling with the words. "Aw bummer" she states with a fake frown and turns around to face Megan.

"Oh and he kissed Ashley" I mention from behind her. She turns to face me with her jaw to the floor, "Noooo?" she questions. I nod,

"that slu-"

"Hi" a boy interrupts her. I realize he is talking to me so turn to face him, Chad? "Um, Hi?" I respond slightly confused, no need to be rude to him, no matter how shitty today has been .

"Well Ashley is having a party tommorow, I was wondering, do you want to go with me?"

I spot Shawn out of the corner of my eye only a few tables away, his jaw is clenched, he is beyond mad.

"Yeah, sure" I say loud enough for Shawn to hear.

"Great! I'll see you then" he says with a grin, "see ya" I respond before turning back to Natalie.
