Little Things

Chapter 2

|Shawn|

I walked up the porch steps of my new house. It was big, and beautiful from the outside let's check the inside. I opened the door, and the house was absolutely amazing. A large wind-up staircase, beautiful floor, huge tv, and the bedrooms were absolutely beautiful. I chose the biggest one, it had an amazing view.

I hopped down on the couch after everything was moved in, and then the door bell rang. I got up, and opened it. A women who seemed to be in her mid -30's or so, was there with a big smile, and a platter of chocolate chip cookies and brownies. "Hi! I'm your new neighbor, Shaylee! I just decided to bake some cookies and introduce myself as a welcome to the neighbourhood kinda thing. May I come in?" She asked, enthusiastically. I moved out of the way and gestured for her to come in. "Thanks for the treats! I'm Shawn, by the way. My mom should be in the kitchen." I told her. "Oh ok! How old are you, Shawn? You seem about my daughter's age. 16?" Daughter? "Yeah, actually! What's her name?" I asked her. "Kylie." She replied. "Oh, that's a pretty name! I'll have to meet her sometime!" I told her. "She should be home from school by now! You should go over and introduce yourself!" She said. "Oh ok!" I said. "Bye." I added and walked out the door. I walked into their house and say on the couch. "Who are you, and what are you doing in my house?" A voice said. I looked up, and a beautiful girl was standing there. "Oh, hi! I'm Shawn, your new neighbor! Your mom said I should come over and introduce myself." I said. "Oh, well, I'm Kylie, and it's nice to meet you! I'm gonna go upstairs now." She said and left. "Wait!" I called. "What?" She said looking back."I thought maybe you would like to show me around town maybe?" I asked her. "Uh, s-sure! I'll ask my mom if I can borrow her car!" She said a little hesitant. "Okay!" I said, shrugging it off. We walked to my house, and got her mom's keys and drove off. "Ok! So, we in Jenison right now, on Baldwin, and there on the left, you have your typical Mobil, after that you got a Chinese place, and Pizza Hut, and Little Caesar's. Next, you got McDonalds,and everyone's favorite, Speedway!" She said in the voice of a funny Tour Guide. I laughed, and asked, "Can we go in to these places?" "Duh, why do you think I took you here first? Its practically food central besides the mall! Of course were going in!" She said in a duh tone. I laughed and we walked in to Mobil. "Here, is your typical Mobil, you got your slurpies, your soda, energy drinks, and all kinds of junk food!" She said in the funny voice again. "Ok, so, you can buy two things. I'm going with a monster, and a box of cheezits. What are you getting?" She said in her regular voice. "Uh, brisk, and a bag of lays chips." I said. "K. Cool." We paid, and went off to Pizza Hut and little Caesars. "Hi! Can I get 2 large pepperoni pizza's please?" She asked. The cashier nodded, and we paid and went to Pizza Hut and Speedway.

"Alright! To the mall we go!" She said. "You want some music?" She asked me. "Sure." I said. She turned on the radio, and turned it up to max volume. Habits was on. "GOTTA STAY HIGH, ALL MY LIFE TO FORGET IM MISSING YOU!!!!!!! GOTTA STAY HIGH!!!!" We screamed as the song ended. Then, All about that Bass, Am I wrong, and Stay with Me came on and we arrived at the mall. We walked in, and then in our white girl voices, screamed, "STARBUCKS!" we earned a few stares and then ran in. "Hi, can I get a Caramel Macchiato please." We both said at the same time. Wow, this girl is so me. I think I'm falling for her......

|Kylie|

Shawn and I are at Starbucks right now, and for once, I feel happy! I think I'm falling for him. "Ok! Lets go to FYE!!!!" I said. We ran to FYE and then got a ton of movies like, TFIOS, Iron Man, The Call, etc. Then we went home. "You know, you're a lot like me, always happy, you seem to have a lot of friends, everything. Beautiful too." Shawn says, as we are in my room watching The Fault In Our Stars.

I don't reply. "Kylie?" He asked. I stay silent. A tear rolls down my cheek. "What's wrong?" He asked. "N-nothing. I'm fine." I say hesitantly. "Come on, you can tell me. You can trust me, Kylie." He says. "No, you don't understand. I have trust issues, I can't trust you right away. I say. I move my hand a little and the bracelets move. Crap. "Kylie, what's this?!?!" He asks, shocked. I turn my head away. "Look at me." He said, lifting up my chin gently with his two fingers. "Why?"
