Chapter 71

My AP tests came sooner than expected, the months flying by like crazy. I sat in my room, my papers scattered across the floor as I studied one last time for my AP Physics test. I had gotten over my English and Spanish tests already, not panicking so much over those, but over this one test. 

"Why did I sign up for this class?" I asked myself, sighing as I shook my head. I flipped through my notes, biting the end of my pen as I tried to memorize everything on the page. "This is completely useless." 

I stood up, holding my book as I paced around my room. I tried my best to keep myself up, yawning every once and a while before checking the time to see it was almost midnight. I closed my book, feeling as if I studied enough and put everything away into my backpack before laying down on my bed and texting Shawn back. 

He had finally finished a few songs, setting a few release dates and planning a few music videos. He also fulfilled our date night that he promised me, allowing me to come over and watch the Notebook in our pajamas like I had said. 

Sexy Shawn: Are we meeting after your test tomorrow? 

Me: Yes, I'll meet you tomorrow at your house love. 

Sexy Shawn: Good luck tomorrow hun, I know you'll do great! I can't wait until this weekend by the way. 

Me: I can't believe prom is only a few days away...

Sexy Shawn: Believe it, we're going to dance the night away my love!

Me: Yes sir, I'll see you tomorrow, goodnight. I love you. 

Sexy Shawn: Love you more. 

I looked up at my ceiling, beginning to think about these past months and the weeks ahead of me. 

These past months have been stressful, but also fun. Shawn and I would constantly go out after he finally was able to get in the rhythm of his album. We did a few radio interviews, calling in and talking to the hosts, going to small events together held in the city. It was the most fun I had in a while before High School could end. 

I graduate in less than two weeks, Shawn leaves the day before my graduation, and prom is this Saturday. In less than two weeks I will be speaking in front of everyone, in front of all of the people who may not have believed in me, in front of the few people who care for me. I will be free of high school and on to community college where I could start over, grow up completely. I am completely and utterly excited for what feels like a new beginning. 

I turned in my bed, my back facing my closet, closing my eyes so I could fall asleep before it could get any later than it already was. Soon, I was dreaming about this Saturday.

I woke up earlier than expected, studying a bit before heading to school to take a three hour test. During the whole test I tried my best not to forget what I had studied, but I kept getting distracted by daydreams and joyful thoughts. Since the test was only three hours I was let out early, therefore I made my way over to Shawn's house to meet up with him. 

I was currently wearing sweats and a crew neck since I wanted to be comfortable, a bag of clothes in my trunk so I could change. Before I stepped out of my car I looked in my visor mirror, taking my hair out of my bun and letting it down. I fixed it a bit, stepping out after and grabbing my bag from the back before walking up to Shawn's door step. I rang the doorbell, waiting patiently until Shawn opened the door to reveal him wearing plaid pajama pants and a hoodie.

I chuckled, going into hug him. "Goodmorning bum." 

"Goodmorning." He smiled as I looked up at him and kissed him, cupping his face with my hands. He closed the door behind me and we went up to his room once I took off my shoes at the door.  Once we got to his room I dropped my bag, jumping on his bed and laying on my back as he laughed.
