– Uhm… listen, i’ll just park here… I… I have some things to buy in that store. Would you mind walking over the entrance?

– Oh no, it’s fine. Thank you for the ride anyway. – Said Carmen knowing well what was happening in Shane’s head. She was used to that anyway, so prefered to keep it like that.

– Yeah, no problem… …See you at biology then… right?

– Right. See you.

Once she made sure Carmen was far enough, she decided to get into school where she was gritted by her very best friends.

– Hey there Casanova! You left early last night…

– Huh? Oh… last night… yeah…

– So.. ?

– So what?

– Was she good?

-Who?

– Didn’t you leave with a girl last night?

– I didn- oh yeah, sure. She was great actually. You know, same as always…

– You’re a killer man! I don’t know how you do it!

– I am who I am pops, that’s it.

– Sure bud, sure. Anyway, have you heard about the nerd freak? Rumor has it that she walked over to her house all the way crying.

– I didn’t hear anything. – Shane frowned.

– Well yes and people also don’t think she would ever come here again!

– I don’t think so.

– Oh come on man, have you seen the same as I did, I mean she was-

– Can you just drop it?! It wasn’t that big of a deal.

– Calm down dude, what’s your problem? I thought it was funny.

– Well it wasn’t. I need to go to my locker anyway. Bye.

– See ya… …weirdo.

The day went by with all the students talking about what happened last night and Shane trying to avoid the subject. At first she went along well but then she started to feel really bad about it. Carmen made her feel right and it sucked having to be all shitty and stuff at her. When biology class started she thought that maybe she could relax a little. Being sat with Carmen meant no need to fake the charade. When Shane arrived to the classroom Carmen was already there.

– Hey… sorry I’m late… I have the essay, do you want me to go give it to him?

– Sure. And thank you.

– No prob.

Even though Shane thought she could relax a little, she was trying to hide her kindness to the girl reason why she mostly whispered while talking to her, trying to avoid any look coming over at her.

– Hey have you noticed Shane being a little weird today? I mean, look at her! She’s actually giving something to the professor!

– Yeah dude, she’s been weird all day. Maybe the girl from last night wasn’t so good after all you know.

– Yeah probably, I just hope her to be cool tonight at the concert. I don’t want her to get all angry just because we laugh at something haha
