Exhilaration | Shawn Hunter [Boy Meets World]

The Last Temptation of Cory and Shawn

//

At school, Cory talked to Topy over the phone. "Topanga, how could you be sick? I mean, you said you'd never catch a cold as long as you were taking that trout fluid."

"It's fish oil," I correct him.

Cory spoke in the phone again, "I miss you so much and I'll call you after next period...Topy." Everyone around us 'awwed' causing Cory to snap. "Oh, drop dead. We're in love."

Shawn motioned to Cory and himself. "Not us." Shawn turned to Cory. "Do that again and I will hurt you."

"And I'm only allowed to call her that," I add.

"Okay..." Cory trailed off. "Bettykins."

I glare at him. "Oh shut up."

"Anyways, I'm not embarrassed about it. I mean, Topanga and I are serious. We do everything together."

Libby Harper came up to Cory. "Hi, Cory. Love that shirt."

"Hey, thanks. Underneath it I'm half-naked," Cory joked.

Once she walked away, Shawn replied, "You and Topanga do everything together, huh? Even flirt with Libby Harper?"

"Flirt? I was just being friendly. And besides, girls like Libby Harper don't flirt with me."

"That was before. Now you have 'the scent'."

"Oh, here we go," I sigh.

"Well, what exactly is 'the scent'?" Cory asked

"I'll tell you about 'the scent'."

Cory pushed his hands down from making the quotation marks at 'the scent'. "All right, stop."

"It means women want you," I answer.

"Why?" Cory asked.

"Because they can't have you," Shawn added. "You're with Topanga, they think you're unavailable, virgo, they want you."

"I deal with it every day," I huff.

"Both of us," Shawn stated.

"Both men and women."

"You guys are batty. So one girl may have flirted with me. You're making it sound like all girls...I don't know, Missy Robinson, are gonna come over and suddenly make small talk," Cory replied.

Missy Robinson came over here. "Cory?"

Cory turned to her. "Yes, Missy?"

"Did you know the sun sets today at 6:52?"

"I did not know that." Cory looked to us. "Guys..."

"Told you so," I reply.
