〈 Corbyn 〉

"You good?" I asked Amanda.

She's been so...

I don't know. Stressed?

It seems like she wants to tell me something but is stopping herself.

Bad liar.

"Yeah, why'd you ask?" she chuckled nervously and looked right.

I'm gonna pretend like i'm not expecting a sudden surprise from her.

"You're acting strange, is there something you wanna say?" I asked.
"Nah, hey you know what? I- I'm so late for my Technology a- and i'm partnered with Christina and we have like a lot of things to do so I- I- I need to leave. Bye!" she explained confusedly and left.
"Classes doesn't start in ten minutes..." I mumbled to myself as I watch her run.

She almost hit a random guy.

Classic.

Soon, Christina approached me.

Uh oh.

"Hey, i'm gonna be quick, don't worry" she chuckled and sat down.

An immediate smile spread on my lips.

"Hey, so are you partnered with Amanda on Technology?" I asked.
"No..." she replied, puzzled.
"Oh" I said and didn't bother to mind.
"Happy birthday!" she laughed, then handed me a big black box wrapped in a colorful wrapper.

Shoes?!

I knit my eyebrows, confused.

"How did you know?" I asked and got the present.
"I kinda asked Amanda about it a few weeks ago." she replied.

I started to tear it open.

"Ooh, and the money I used to buy that is the one thousand dollars you gave me at the Halloween party. I know I should've not said that, but I thought it'd be cool." she chuckled.

So did I and opened the box.

"I knew it was a pair of shoes!" I exclaimed.
"You did? How?" she laughed.
"Shoes are my life" I replied.
"Amanda told me that too, with the same exact words" she added.
"She knows me well" I breathed out.
"She sure does. Anyway, I hope you have a great birthday. And I just wanted to say thank you, i've been seeing someone and those kind words you gave me before really helped. So, here I am." she chuckled.

I nodded and mouthed "You're welcome."

"Also, I have a question... do you like Amanda? 'Cause if you do, yass! You guys would make a great couple!" she exclaimed.
"You think?" I asked, chuckling.
"Yeah! And you guys know each other for years so it's impossible for you guys to break up!" she added. "So, do you like her?" she grinned.
"Actually I l—"

A boy then approached us.

"It's time for Health class" he chimed.
"Oh yeah, Corbyn, here's my boyfriend. Shawn, Corbyn." she smiled.

I stood up and shook his hand.

"Hey man." he smiled.
"Hey, hope you guys stay strong" I chuckled a bit by my own words.

Who says that?!

"Uh yeah, course." he nodded. "Happy birthday" he added.
"Thanks" I replied.

They sent me a wave before leaving.

"Let her know!" Christina winked.

I hope Shawn takes care of her properly...
