❝This is the greatest paradox: the emotions cannot be trusted; yet it is the emotions that tell us the greatest truths.❞

Cory slammed Shawn's locker shut. "Shawn. Needless to say, I'm a little upset."

"You're always upset," He reminds him pointedly.

Cory paused before he shrugged. "Well, more than usual. You see, this morning I'm having breakfast with Janitor Bud."

Shawn's brows furrowed in confusion. "Janitor Bud?"

"I owed him," Cory brushed him off nonchalantly, "And, you know, we're talking, and it comes up that last night you were out with Dana Pruitt."

"Yeah, I went out with Dana, so?" Shawn shrugged, clearly not getting Cory's point.

"So, first of all, you don't tell me, and second of all, Dana is a very nice girl."

"Yeah," Shawn nodded with a fond smile, "Very nice."

"Shawn, a nice girl like that can ruin your reputation. I mean, Janitor Bud and I were shocked."

"Wow," Shawn breathed out as his eyes widened, "And Bud's seen dead bodies."

"I'm saying!" Cory huffed, "So, what was it like going out with a nice girl?"

"Cor, I'm the type of guy that talks about the women I go out with," He chuckled sheepishly.

"Yeah, you are," Cory scoffed, "Where you been? I mean, if it wasn't for your stories and the little pictures you draw me, I would know nothing."

"Well, I don't wanna talk about Dana," Shawn shrugged, "And don't ask me to draw her."

Cory paused before he smiled teasingly. "You must really like Dana."

"... I like all girls. And so far, they've all liked me," He trailed off as his thoughts shifted to Elena.

He knew Cory wouldn't mention it but they both knew there was one girl who didn't. The one girl Shawn Hunter ever saw himself getting into a serious, committed relationship with wanted nothing to do with him romantically.

Before the best friends could discuss the matter any further, Dana joined them.

"Shawn, could I have a word with you in private?" She asked with a polite smile.

He nodded quickly. "Yeah, sure. I'll be right over."

"Ooh, in private. What could this be?" Cory giggled excitedly.

"Well, she probably wants to finish what we started last night," Shawn smirked confidently, "So if I'm late for class, fall asleep without me. Oh, and make sure you lean back so Lena can use you as a pillow."
