Chapter Four
Shay's POV:
"So, how did you like Ethan?" Rachel asked me Monday morning, as we walked through the hallways.
I shrugged, then focused on the back wall of my locker, hoping Rachel couldn't see my smile.
"Ohmygosh. Details, Shay!" she demanded, as she spun me around.
I smiled and shrugged, once again. What was there really to say?
"All that actually happened between us was we exchanged numbers, and texted all throughout the weekend." I said.
I wide grin that could reach from China to here grew on Rachel's face. Something was going on in her head.
"So, wait. You actually like this one?" she questioned, nudging at my ribs.
Who knew? Maybe I did like him.
But still, we'd only met on Friday. How could I instantly gain feelings for somebody like that?
Anyhow, I'd only seen the guy one time!
"I don't know, Rach." I said, slamming my locker shut. "Maybe."
Rachel's eyes widened, and her mouth dropped as she searched for the words to say.
"Y-y-w-w," she stuttered, unable to find the words. "I'm calling Andrew!" she squealed, pulling her phone out of her pocket.
But before I could object, or even make a movement, she ran off down the halls, her phone glued to her ear.
Too late now.
Instead of dwelling on it, I stuffed my books into my bag, and began on my way to chemistry, just as the bell rang.
"Late again, I see, Shay." Mrs. Harriett huffed as I tip-toed in.
I turned to expect her right in front of me, when in fact, her entire body was turned towards the board.
Looks like I'm beginning to get to predictable when it comes to walking in late.
Without a word, I scurried to my seat, right beside Jessica Daniels, another good friend of mine.
"What excuse are you using this time?" she chuckled, as I pulled out my notebook and a pen.
I slumped in my seat, and shrugged. 
The truth was, I just wasn't now, or ever was, a fan of science. I'd do whatever it takes to keep out of it.
"You know how much I hate science, Jess." I reminded.
Jessica opened her mouth to reply, when Mrs. Harriett nosied her way in, telling us to stop talking or we get detention for the week.
She sounds like such a sweet lady, doesn't she?
I looked up at the board, and began copying down notes, when my cell phone began buzzing in my front pocket.
I rolled my eyes, expecting it to be Rachel telling me about what she had told Andrew just before.
So, I heard you have a little crush on me? Ethan? Wow, looks like news spreads fast.
Those words never came out of my mouth(: I replied, almost fully telling the truth.
You did say maybe, that has to count for something, right? he replied back.
Maybe it does, I began, but why does what I say matter to you?
I leaned back in my seat, satisfied with my reply to him. I was right, for the most part.
It does matter to him because, well, this matter mostly involves him. Along with the fact that I may or may not like him.
Because maybe I like you too... 


:O Shocker! Not really, that was coming soonr or later. Just trying to set the mood, you know ;)
Would you guys want me to post character pictures or something? Or do you like imagining what you want them to look like?
