~four days later~
"Shawn, it's in three days!" Aaliyah yells and I groan.
"I get it Liyah." I say and she huffs.
"You suck." She whines and I roll my eyes.
"I love you." I say and she giggles.
"I love you too."
"I'll call you later alright? Tell Mom I said hey." I say and she hums.
"See ya loser." She hangs up and I throw it on the console of my car.
"Why aren't you going to do anything for you birthday?" Brooke asks, lounging in my backseat.
"Because I don't want to Brooklyn." I say and she groans.
"Yeah right. It's on a Saturday, you do everything on Saturday." She says and I groan.
"What do you want from me Brooke?" I yell and she sighs.
"We can just go to like a movie or something?" She sits up and take in my ear, "you could make a move on Isabella." She cooes and I shake my head.
"Brooklyn." I growl and she throws herself back onto the seat.
"Fine." She mumbles.
"You were partying all weekend." I compromise and she rolls her eyes. I look at her through the rearview and she's just staring out the window, "your acting like a brat." I say and she glares at me.
"You act like a brat all the time." She hisses and I sigh. I roll my windows up when we get close to the dorms, where Brooklyn hasn't been in three days, "do you think Brianna's here?" She asks and I tense at the name.
"Why the hell would I know?" I say and she shrugs.
"Just asking, it's less than a week before her friend shows up. Maybe you can check her out." She wiggles her eyebrows and I squeeze the steering wheel. I park the car in my usual spot and slam the door to get out, "what's your deal? I'm just not used to you not hanging out with girls all the time." She insists and I ignore her. We both walk by a few people when I see Daniel.
I swear to God if this boy says ANYTHING to me I'm going to blow up.
"I just don't want to hang out with girls all the time." I yell back and she stops, grabbing my arm.
"Is this because of Brianna?" She asks, crossing her arms. I close my mouth and turn around, "Shawn I told you to back off of her! Now you see, you've ruined a perfect fucking relationship just because of your stupid games!"
"Shut the fuck up , Brooklyn. You don't know what the fuck your talking about." I yell back and she scoffs. I feel her hand grab my arm again.
"I don't know what I'm talking about? Are you fucking joking? I'm her best friend in this school!" She shouts and I nod.
"Huh, really good excuse. Why don't you make up another one for the time being? You weren't there for her when she dumped his ass," I point to Daniel who's walking towards his car, "who the fuck knows how she was handling it!?" I scowl and she glares her nostrils.
"Who are you to say anything about her feelings at fucking all, Shawn? YOUR NOT TOGETHER." She rebukes and I step in front of her.
"Trust me, I know how the fuck she feels." I spit and turn around, swinging the door open and I see Brooklyn storm past me. I hear her go up the stairs.
She acts like she's my fucking mother. She doesn't know anything. Brianna said it feels different when I kiss her. It's obvious what the hell that means.
I skip the stairs by two and make it up in no time. When I open the door I hear Brooke.
"What the hell's Shawn talking about?" She asks and I hear a confused sigh.
"What?" Brianna laughs. I walk in and shake my head.
"Don't listen to her." I say and lean on the wall. Brianna furrows her eyebrows.
"Brianna, I need you to do me a favor." Brooklyn says, sitting next to her. I stare at the both of them and Brianna looks so confused.
"Okay..." She says cautiously.
What the hell is Brooke about to ask of her?
"I need you to tell me, what's going on with you and Shawn?" She asks and Brianna squints and glares at me. I feel my adrenalin rushing.
She's gonna tell her, I already know how Brianna is, she's gonna sa-
"Nothing." She shrugs plainly and my mouth opens slightly. Brooke looks back at me, giving a, 'i told you so' look. I shake my head and walk out, slamming the door.
I grab my wallet and grab a Coca-Cola before I go to my car. When it comes down loudly from whatever the hells inside the machine, I hear someone say my name.
Can I just not be left alone?
"Hey Shawn." I turn around and see Maria.
"What do you want?" I ask and walk to my car. She follows next to me like a lost puppy.
"Ben and Alex want to hang out with you. There in the lounging center." She says and I shrug.
"I don't care." I push open the door and walk out. Maria still following me. She jogs in front of me.
"Chill out, what's your deal?" She tells and I try to move past her, but she blocks me. She yanks me towards her and kisses me. I realize what Brianna was talking about.
It's different when I kiss her.
