We were all gathered in the reception area of the police station. Cops

were walking back and forth. I had already been worried about whether or

not the cops would be able to catch Trash and her murderous brothers. I

prayed they would. However, it seemed like something else had popped up to

the front of my mind.

"You wrote me the letters?" I asked Shane.

We all looked at Shane. He looked nervous. His forehead was sweating and

there was this little wet patch underneath his arms. I could tell how

uneasy he had become. Shane's forehead wrinkled up and his eyes fell to

the ground.

"Well—not exactly it's a " Shane stuttered, anxiously.

"You just fucking said you were the one who has been giving Syn love

letters!" T-Boy barked, trying his best to get up, but struggling since

his foot was in a cast.

Shane was quiet when T-Boy spoke to him. Shane looked at the ground, then

his eyes came back to mine. He looked so nervous. I felt embarrassed for

him.

"Wow," Byron noted and sort of laughed, "This is like a soap opera."

Byron cut in and asked, "Were you the one giving Syn the notes?"

"Yes," Shane replied, "But "

"That sums it up!" T-Boy interrupted, "If you were sending the notes, how

the hell was it that Mercedes set Syn up? What the hell is that all

about?"

There was silence. I knew that Shane didn't know the answer to that. He

looked like he was in regret a little. I had never been so confused about

someone's feelings for me before. I definitely wouldn't of guessed in a

million years that Shane was gay, none-the-less that Shane also had a crush

for me.

"They were different letters," I said, after a minute of silence, "I guess

Mercedes picked up the rumors that I was getting love letters and she

decided to use it against me."

It was smart of her if she did. Trash had come so close to getting her

revenge. She used Shane's innocent love note thing and manipulated it to
