girl meets shawn ➵ shawn hunter

FOUR

      "SHAWN kissed you?" Topanga asked her friend, in pure disbelief. "Shh, someone might hear you." Olivia whispered, playing with her fingers. "Liv, we're in my room." The girl pointed out. "Well...there are birds outside. They might be listening!" She babbled. She body flopped on Topanga's bed, burying her face in the pillows, letting out a little groan. She lifted her head and looked at her friend. "But, yes. Shawn kissed me." She replied.

Topanga squealed, bouncing on her bed excitedly. "Okay, so how was it? It was your first kiss right? Did you feel butterflies? Fireworks? Did the whole world disappear expect you and him?" Topanga effused. Olivia sat up and let out a small laugh. "Topi, breathe." She interjected. She stood up and walked over to the window, letting out a small sigh.

     "Shawn is my best friend." She stated as she watched a bird land on a branch. "We've known each other since we were both still pooping ourselves." She crossed her arms and looked back at Topanga. "That kiss...it made me feel something. Something that may damage years worth of friendship." She explained. "Plus, I'm pretty sure to Shawn, that kiss was just another smooch from a girl. If it didn't mean anything to him, it shouldn't mean anything to me." She walked back to Topanga, plopping down on the bed. "Do you regret it?" Topanga asked softly, a sympathetic look on her face.

     She shook her head, looking at her friend, a small smile on her face. "I don't regret it. You said your first kiss should go to someone you trust and I trust Shawn. I just regret the feelings that came from it." She clarified. "But hopefully, they'll all go away soon." She said with a small smile.

     "I have an idea!" Topanga beamed, jumping up quickly. "Let's go roller skating! You need a cute boy to get your mind off Shawn and they always have cute boys at the roller rink." Olivia smiled and nodding her head as she stood up. "Yeah let's do it." She smiled. "I mean, it's not like Shawn's gonna be there."

——————————

     "Topanga...is that Shawn?" Olivia asked, pointing to the boy who was currently on the rink, surrounded by girls. "Uh, no! That's just another boy who resembles a lot to Shawn." Topanga replied with a small smile. Olivia groaned and skated over to where there shoes were. "Let's go." She mumbled. Topanga skated to her, grabbing her arm. "Hey, don't let him get in the way of you having a good time." The girl told her friend. "And look, Cory's there too! Now let's go have fun."

     Before she could replied, Topanga skated off, pulling her along as they made their way over to the rink. "Cory!" Topanga called out, waving her hand. The curly haired boy looked up from the ground which he just landed on so gracefully, waving back. "Topanga! Olivia!" He said, with a small smile on his face. Olivia let out a small groan as she saw Shawn look back at them. Thanks a lot, Cory. She thought to herself. She followed Topanga, skating over to Cory. Topanga held her hand out for the boy, which he took, pulling himself up.

     "What are you guys doing here?" Cory asked, looking at the two. "We're just having a little girl time. Looking for cute boys. The usual." Topanga replied, with a small shrug. "Well, uh, Shawn's here too." He added. "Shawn come here!" Olivia bit down on her lip and saw the boy coming this way. "You know, I'm gonna...go do a couple of laps. You know, warm up." She said with a nervous smile. "Catch up with you guys later!" She skated past them quickly, biting down on her lip. "Whew, that was close." She huffed. She looked back and saw her three friends talking.

     "Why is one stupid kiss making feel like this?" She mumbled to herself. She stumbled a little bit, her body jerking forward. She felt a hand grab her arm, steadying her. "Oh thanks." She said, turning around to face the person that helped her. Her eyes widened slightly as she saw Shawn, smiling down at her. "Dude, are you like Batman? You pop up everywhere." She said to herself quietly.
