Exhilaration | Shawn Hunter [Boy Meets World]

A Kiss is More Than a Kiss

//

At school-

I stopped in place to see Topy telling Cory. "That's great, Cor. I'll see you later."

"See you," he told her.

Shawn and I approached Cory. "Cory, were you just talking to Topanga?" Shawn asked.

"Yeah. Well, I was feeling a little chatty and, you know, even though we broke up, we're still friends."

"That's good," I tell him.

"No. She's your ex," Shawn objected. "Let me spell that for you. X! When Betty broke up with me, she was my ex!"

"Really? You had to bring that up?" I ask.

"Yes."

"Look, Shawn, Topanga and I aren't like other couples," Cory cut in.

"You're not a couple."

"I know."

"My point exactly."

"Then we agree," Cory said.

"No! I think we're saying the same thing," Shawn stated.

Topy came back over. "Cory, I double-checked. We have to be there at three for the Promwear Fashion Fest."

"Fashion Fest?" Shawn asked.

"Yeah. Remember when you said you go with me as my date," I remind him.

"Oh, that Fashion Fest."

"Yeah. This Saturday, Cory and I are modeling formalwear for the prom," Topy told him. "Isn't it great we can still do things together?"

She pecked Cory's cheek causing him to say, "Don't do that."

"I've always done that."

Once Topy walked away, Cory asked, "Shawn, are you crying?"

"I think I lost you, man," Shawn whimpered.

"I said I'd do this Fashion Fest thing when we were still going out. I mean, I can't bail on her," Cory stated.

"Yeah, you can. You've got to move on," Shawn told him.

"I'm all for you still being friends with Topy, but I think you haven't moved on," I add, patting Shawn's arm.

"Quit your crying," Cory directed at Shawn. "Betty, I'm just a guy in a tux, walking down an aisle with his ex-girlfriend in a gown, in front of the entire school. And you think I haven't moved on."

"No, you really haven't," I answer.

"Okay, Cor. If you're really over her, then you're ready to date other girls," Shawn said.

"Well, I should say so," Cory grinned.

"So you'd be up for a little double-date action?"

"Yes. But what will you do, Shawn?"
