❝I'm very protective of how much I let people see.❞

"C'mon Shawn, you've lived here three weeks and you've spent two and a half of them in the bathroom!" Cory complained as he banged on the bathroom door.

"Will you shut up, I'm trying to study here," Eric glared at him.

Cory raised a brow at him, clearly not believing him.

"Well, I am," Eric huffed.

"Well, I'm trying to take a shower."

Eric's head snapped up to his little brother with a skeptic look.

"Well, I am," Cory defended.

"Okay, see the fact that he's shocked by that means you need to do it more often," Elena commented before going back to Eric's SAT book.

Eric had asked her to help him study for his upcoming SAT test and she'd adopted the same method she used on Cory and Shawn. Get an answer right, get a milk dud.

"Almost done," Shawn promised as he finally opened the door. He had a razor and shaving cream across his cheeks and between his eyebrows, "Just doing my burns."

"Whoa," Cory's eyes widened, "You shave?"

"Yeah, y'see facial hair sprouts early in my family. Especially on my mom's side. Lena," Shawn motioned his head for her to come help him.

Elena sighed. "Shawn, you've been doing your 'burns' on your own for however you've been pretending to have them."

"Yeah but it doesn't sting as much when you do it," He pouted at her and held out the razor.

Before she could move to go over Eric grabbed her and hugged her to his chest. "No! You are not taking my ladybug away. She's helping me study. And she gives me milk duds."

"Eric, you haven't gotten a single answer right for the last half hour," Cory scoffed, "You only get a milk dud when you get the question right."

"Yeah but sometimes she sneaks me one just for effort," Eric grinned, still hugging Elena.

"What?!" Shawn and Cory looked at her in betrayal.

"Well, I'm not going to anymore," Elena grumbled pointedly as she pinched Eric's arm.

"Well, you sure are yellow today," Elena chuckled as she walked over to Shawn by the water fountain, "Are you trying out for the sun in the school play?"

He was wearing a bright yellow jacket, although he'd cut the sleeves off.

Haha, very funny," Shawn laughed dryly, "Mrs. Matthews got this jacket for me."
