Exhilaration | Shawn Hunter [Boy Meets World]

My Best Friend's Girl

//

It finally the end of summer and time for school.

"Shawn, we gotta get to school," Cory called, entering Mr. Turner's apartment.

"What? You don't know the way without me?" Shawn asked.

I roll my eyes, adjusting my bag. "Just come on."

"Fine. This pizza's bad anyway," Shawn said before pausing. "No, wait.
It's you," he told Cory.

"Oh, no. Too much cologne. I knew this would happen. Cologne," Cory sighed, spinning.

I groan. "Oh, I knew something was stenching up my nose when we walked here."

"Nice clothes. The spinning. How could I forget? It's Wednesday," Shawn said. "T-day."

"Topanga's back from her summer trip," I say, grinning.

"Oh, yeah," Cory said, smoothing down his clothes.

"Does this mean I have permission to-" I began.

"We've talked about this, you are not playing Cupid," Cory cut me off.

"So you're gonna do it, huh, Cor?" Shawn asked. "You're gonna ask her to be your girlfriend?"

"I really hope she says yes," Cory said, excited. "But come on, come on. We're gonna be late."

Shawn scoffed. "Lateness."

"Oh, here we go with the bragging," I sigh.

"A problem for me once," Shawn said to which I mouth the words along. "That was, of course, until I got me a teacher roommate. John!"

Mr. Turner came out of his room. "Yeah?" Then saw Cory. "Hey, Betty, Matthews, nice outfit," he told Cory.
"Job interview?"

I snickered as Shawn said, "Watch," Shawn whispered. "Listen, John, I'm dragging a little this morning. I'm gonna need some extra time. You think you could jot a note for me?"

"Sure," Mr. Turner responded. "No problem," grabbing a notepad.

"Oh, wow," I say, thinking he wouldn't actually go through with it.

"You know, anything you want-late, doctor. Have fun with it," Shawn added.

"You got it," Mr. Turner responded.

"No way," Cory said, looking at the note.

"What'd he write?" I ask.

Cory showed the note. "'No way'."

"That's right, pal. Your butt's in homeroom before that first bell rings or TV no way, snacks no way, dates no way. Okay?" Mr. Turner told him.

"Snacks?" Shawn questioned.
