Twisted fate

chapter 6

"You disappeared Friday night," Jess said when i met her at school.
There was no way i was telling her what happened that night. It would be my little secret. My lips curved into a smile involuntary
" You better start talking or else I'll struggle it out of you," Jess threatened
, lucky for me the bell for class rang and we had to settle down we had a new kid who sat next to me his name was craw Collins. He was pretty cute i had to admit. Funny he felt like another puzzle piece which fitted perfectly in my life.
Our teacher came to class and surprise surprise surprise she announced that we were having a field trip. We packed a couple of books in our backpacks and got into the bus.
" Can I join you," Craw said in such a dreamy voice, i didn't quite get at first.
" Yes," i said after a dazed moment.
Hell if i knew where Jess was i would have sat with her, and Shawn I'd be obsessing about him all weekend and was waiting to see him at school yet he'd missed school again!. I didn't notice time pass by as i chatted away with Collins. I mean it felt like I'd known him all my life. As we were walking about not really listening to the teacher and suddenly Shawn had to appear.
" Dude, muck off," Shawn said coldly to Craw.
Craw shot a look that said, who the hell is this dude and what does he want? When Shawn saw him looking at me he pulled me close as if shielding me from something. I had to admit i was glad to see him but it ticked me of to see him speak like this to my newly found friend.
" Dude leave like now," Shawn said real angry now.
" Whoa man i guess I gotta leave, see you later," craw said real tense and turned to leave but i caught his hand.
" You're not going anywhere," I said to him.
The way Shawn looked at him with my hand still on his, if look's could kill he would already be dead.
I let go of his hand slowly to make the air Less tense.
" What do you want?" I asked Shawn warily.
First he was shocked then he recovered fast .
" Huh?" I asked when he didn't answer.
He have that look of,you really don't want to know. I was getting even more aggravated with him not talking at all.
" Ok cowboy,you ditched me Friday night, disappear for the whole weekend,no call or text and expect me to come along with you like a little puppy," I said with a lot of energy.
That had hit hard and i saw a pained look on his face but i didn't care anymore. Well not for the moment anyway . I stormed off dragging Craw along with me. Shawn run after us and caught up with us. The he grabbed me by the waist and said against me " I am sorry about last time,i was drunk and didn't know what i was doing, i sobered up the moment,i did that and i couldn't stay there, i couldn't wreck your party and so i left," Then he let go of me ,
" That's it? he was drunk it wasn't real ?" I thought to myself.
That stung even more than getting ditched so i just run off without any sense of direction.
" Girls, i don't get them sometimes," Shawn said absent
Mindendly.
" You don't know about her, she's not your typical kind of girl, she's different we can bet on that," Craw stuck up for me.
" Whatever," Shawn said in such a smooth manner.
I vowed never to speak or even think about him. And then i was out of earshot. I got to a bushy place and sat behind a tree. Who was i kidding Shawn was on my mind alright no matter how hard i tried it was useless. It was quite obvious i was hopelessly in love with him even though i wouldn't admit that to anyone not even myself . Then it started, a terrible headache from the back of my head cell the way to my forehead and my eyes started swimming and i saw three things and all of them were Shawn love, death and pain. Then it was gone as fast as it had come. That shook me, what it was all about,i didn't understand, and then a cute little chipmunk leaped on my lap followed by another. They were so fuzzy i couldn't help but cuddle them.
Then all this little and big animals came out of nowhere and an eagle parched on my shoulder, i was afraid of its talons but it didn't hurt me so i relaxed a bit.
Great now i was also hearing voices. Before i could think of what i had heard, i heard the others going back in the bus so i turned to look. When i looked back at the place where the animals had been they were all gone. So i had been imagining some stuff obsessing with Shawn was making me loose it,so i was going to avoid him.
" Hey babes, what's that in your hair," Jess said when she sat next to me on the bus on our way back. " What was it? " I asked puzzled. She pulled something out of my hair," This," She said. It was a feather actually it was a feather from the eagle that had patched on my shoulder. I was sure of it. Jess thought it was cute and wanted to keep it but i was against it so i kept it. Super, so what i had seen back there had been real. I was shaken by what was happening. I wasn't even sure what Shawn and i were. Friends? An item? Or just classmates? . I didn't know . This was all confusing the jitters out of my whole being. I opened a window and the breeze carried the voice from the bush, so i closed it real quick with a frown on my face. I couldn't concentrate on what Jess was saying until she mentioned Frank having a big secret. I was taken back. I wondered if Frank knew something i didn't but then i realized he probably just wanted to make him and Jess official. Thinking of this brought Shawn back to my mind. I needed extra effort to brush him out. I put on my head phones and brushed the eagle feather absent mindendly
