You are the Reason

Chapter 13

I slammed my locker shut and screamed when I saw someone behind it.

Why does this keep happening?

"Hey beautiful" I heard that guy from the other day say.

I think his name is Devin.

I look around the hall to see who he was addressing.

He chuckled.

"I'm talking to you Shana" he smiled at me.

I don't remember telling him my name.

He must have realized the look on my face because he cleared it up.

"We're in the same History class, I've heard your name being called" he said a blush rising to his cheeks.

Okay then.

"Okay" I say going around him to get to Maths since I didn't see Julia and the bell was about to ring.

"Where are you headed?" He asked following me.

"Maths" I say not sparing him a glance.

"Cool" he said and there was an awkward silence around us.

I couldn't take it.

"Well it was nice meeting you Devin, see you around" I said smiling at him tightly.

"Its Dylan and yeah see you around" he said and headed in the opposite direction.

Phew, thank God that's over.

"I will be handing out the notes and you have to practice them, remember this is graded students" Mrs Collins said while handing out papers with the notes of the song on them.

We were to play the piano and we would be given a grade based on how well we played.

We had until the end of the month to practice.

Well shit.

I couldn't play the piano whatsoever.

Why couldn't we get the guitar instead?

Ugh.

Mrs. Collins put the paper in my hands and gave me a pointed look.

She knew.

Once she finished handing out the papers she began to speak again.

"Oh and students don't forget the competition coming up, I hope you are practicing, the rewards will be worth it" she smiled, "Shana and Shane can I have a word with you? Everyone else class dismissed" she finished.

I got up and made my way to her while everyone else was trying to leave to get home early.

"Shana I know that you are not very good with the piano so I got a tutor for you" she smiled.

I didn't smile back.

"Shane"

I looked up at him and he smiled down at me.

Two times paired.

Something out there must be trying something with me.

It needs to stop.

I walk into my room and fall face first on my bed.

I'm so tired.

I hear my phone buzz in my pocket and take it out to look who messaged me.

Shane

13 Willow street, house number 8.

I groaned.

I totally forgot that Shane and I agreed to meet at his house today.

I rang Julia.

She picked up on the third ring.

"Heyyy bestieeeeeee!" She screamed and I cringed.

She wants to damage my ears, I'm convinced.

"Uh hey, I actually called to ask a favour" I said and explained everything to her.

She squealed.

"I'll be there in fifteen" she rushed hanging up the phone.

I decided to brush my teeth and ran a brush through my hair to untangle the knots that were forming.

I grabbed my phone and my small bag with my books and pens and ran down the stairs.

"I'm off!" I yelled but got stopped by my mom.

"Where to?" She asked wiping her hand into a kitchen towel.

All she ever does is cook. Lol.

"I'm going over to Julia's to study" I lied straight through my teeth.

"Okay hunny, be back by 10 its a school night" she smiled.

"Okay mom" I said pecking her on the cheek just as I heard Julia honk her horn.

I rushed out and climbed into the passenger seat releasing a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Ready to see your man?" Julia asked smirking at me.

I just rolled my eyes.

No.
