***UPDATE(2/11/19) Just grammar and minor details. Nothing story changing though.***

********************************************

The next day me and Shaun hanged out all day, playing Xbox or just talking at times. I was surprised when he didn't ask me about Kane. When I finally brought it up he shrugged and said "If you wanted to tell me you would, so till then I'm not going to bother." That earned him respect.

We also talked about this whole fake dating thing. We were still friends but at school or anywhere that Kane might pop up we were going to act like a legit couple. Shaun spent awhile teasing me about it since he knew that meant we would have to hold hands and stuff. Of course, that meant I kicked his ass in Call of Duty. Hehe got him to stop teasing so ha!

Granted the chances of us actually having to do that is slim. Because I will be avoiding Kane worse than the plague. Not to mention, we don't have many classes together or that are in the same area. So I feel like we just gonna act like we've been acting. As good friends.

Anyhow my parents came home as Shaun was packing up his Xbox and I was begging him to let me borrow it. That was the most awkward situation I have ever been in. Shaun was getting glared at my dad and my mom was just making casual conversation and was wondering why Shaun was here. 

All in all, my dad hates him, for now. Mom loves him and thinks he is a nice boy for keeping me company and to let me borrow his Xbox. Yup, I got the Xbox and video games in the end.

Luckily for me, I ran to bed since it was getting late and just pretended to be asleep while I played on my phone till I actually fell asleep. Best way to avoid intense parental questions.

The next morning, which was Wednesday, Drake texted me to remind me about the party so I told Dani, Carolina, and Jisa. Jisa said no but Dani and Carolina said hell yeah so I told Drake and gave Dani Drake's number. Then I left them to play phone tag while I just played on the Xbox or my own phone. Later on, Dani told me how the party was kinda boring without me there and then went "just kidding it was really fun and tell Drake thanks for inviting us!" Assbutt...

Anyhow, on Thursday it was Thanksgiving so we went to my grandparents' house like always and my Uncle Mitch brought his wife, Trish and her kids like usual. I got multiple questions and concerned looks with the whole crutches thing and I basically said "twisted my knee while playing some football with friends, I'll be fine in another week" all day long. It was pretty fun and I felt so fat as I eat like twenty pieces of turkey and chicken, lots of mashed potatoes and a bunch of other food. All in all, it was a great Thanksgiving like always.

Friday was boring as hell and the only thing that kept me going for the day was the Xbox and the texts from different peoples. 

Saturday was the same except Johnny and Danielle came over to visit me. Turns out Johnny's week was ending so he will have to go back for another month. The good news is that after this one last tour to the middle east, he gets to stay here and train others if he can pass this one promotion to become a sergeant, which he probably will.

We hanged out for that day and talked. Johnny and I played on the Xbox while Danielle cheered for me to kill Johnny and then cheer on Johnny to kill me. Yeah, she likes to switch sides at times. Eventually, Johnny won because Dani decided to distract me by asking me all about my two days with Shaun. So to me, I won since Johnny had an advantage. Yes, I am petty but oh well.

After that I told them all about those two days, leaving out the Kane and me crying part. Of course, Danielle's immediate reaction was "OMG I SHIP IT!"
