» JUST FRIENDS ♥
( ( ( chapter 23 ) ) )
“Savannah wait, I'm so sorry,” Shane ran after her. But it was no use. She was already halfway down the hallway, running straight back to Ava.
“What happened??” Ava asked shocked when her best friend came back to the cafeteria crying her eyes out, her makeup streaking down her face. She ran up and gave her friend a hug, but no words would come out of her, only cries.
They walked out of the cafeteria together to go find Paige for a ride home when they saw Shane walking towards them.
“Savannah,” he tried.
“No, get the f..ck out of here!” Ava yelled at him and kept walking.

That night at the basketball game, Savannah had composed herself so well, as if she’d never been crying at all. She and Ava wore matching outfits for the game which they’d planned on wearing to the party. Their blue crop tops, white Soffe shorts, blue knee socks and blue bandanas used as headbands to hold back their low pigtail braids attracted attention to them. Everyone from the school came to the games and dressed up, getting really into it, and knowing she and Ava had all of the guys’ attention made Savannah feel good.
“You look hot!” Aaron yelled from the top row of the bleachers down to Savannah and Ava. He was wearing black shorts and his body was painted blue with two black lines underneath each of his eyes, just as the other seven guys he was sitting with, one being Shane.
Ava looked up and smiled, Savannah winked.
“She wants it, you saw that! You saw that wink!” Aaron said. “You can’t pretend you didn’t.”
“We weren’t going to pretend we didn’t,” Shane rolled his eyes.
“Palmer, I don’t know what you said to Savannah after school that made her angry, but I heard she cried so much. It’s not my fault you were a d..ck to her,” Aaron said. Shane ignored him and tried to focus on the game, but all he could pay attention to was the attention Savannah was drawing from the guys around her. He was still p..ssed that she was with Ava, but after what he said to her, he didn’t blame her.
They’d won the game and while Savannah should have been happy for her school, she was still beyond upset. She knew she wasn’t going to do her normal four shots with Ava to just get tipsy- she’d be getting wasted.
The party at the senior basketball player Mike Newman’s house started getting crazy but Savannah and Shane still managed to stay on opposite sides of the basement. Shane watched as guys flirted with Savannah, tapping her a..ss and giving her drinks. She’d had a lot to drink at this point and was just trying to look for Ava.
“Savannah, let’s get a picture!” some guys said to her.
“Okay,” she said, having no idea who they were. Every time she tried to look at someone’s face it became one big blur. But judging by their sizes, she could tell they were guys.
“Where’s Ava?” she asked them.
“She’s upstairs, I’ll take you,” said a guy who was about 6’4” with a muscular body.
