SHANE'S
P.O.V.
Chapter 19
♥♥♥
I
went downstairs to the kitchen for dinner. My mom had made
pasta, probably because I had a game tomorrow.
"Where's Corinne?" I asked. Corinne
was my twelve(?) year old sister.
"Dad took her out to dinner, even though
today is supposed to me my day," she said
bitterly.
"Thanks for taking me too,
Dad," I thought to myself. Corinne had always been the
favorite though so it wasn't shocking that dad only took
her.
"So I talked to Savannah," I said,
trying to start up a conversation.
"Oh about what?" mom asked
excitedly.
"Well she basically broke her hand from
punching Ava," I said.
"Oh no," mom said. I couldn't
tell if she was being sincere or sarcastic.
"And I invited her to come to the game
tomorrow and then to come over after to hang out. Is that
okay?"
"Of course! What are you gonna do here,
just hang out?"
"Yeah, probably," I said.
"Okay, well just be careful," she
said. I knew what she meant by that.
"Mom!"
"She's older than you!"
"By a year! And it's the first time
we're hanging out."
"Yeah, I know..." she said,
implying she thought Savannah did stuff like this on first dates
with guys. Not that this was a date though.
"She's not like that, mom. Don't
worry," I said.
"I hope you're right," she said.
I hated talking to her about things like this, but
she was the only person I had to go to. We've always been
close, but of all people, a fourteen year old guy should not be
talking to his mom about girls. But ever since Dad left us,
it's been hard.
Mom asked me more about Savannah and about school
and football and other things until finally dinner was over and
Dad dropped Corinne off home. I went on Facebook and looked
through Savannah's pictures.
In a lot of pictures she was smiling or with her
friends or with guys. How has she never had a boyfriend before?
She's hugging a bunch of guys or kissing them on the cheek or
something. And in the pictures of her and her friends, it was
usually mobile uploads of them doing something stupid like
cooking four boxes of mac and cheese in a pot made for one box or
of Savannah after she fell in mud or of her and her friends
having a water balloon fight at midnight outside in their bathing
suits.
I didn't see any pictures of her family though.
From asking around though, I knew she had two brothers and a
sister. Her older brother was a senior at our school and he was
really popular. He was a legend for getting with so many girls or
getting in trouble with the cops. He was known for being wild and
Savannah was known for being shy. But judging from these
pictures, she was crazy too.
The next day at school, I couldn't wait to see
her. I thought maybe she'd come by the eighth grade wing but
she didn't. And I didn't want to go to the freshmen wing
and seem like a stalker looking for her. Since I couldn't
talk to Chris or Ava anymore, I looked for someone to talk to. I
saw Brookyln but she was already with a bunch of people. I saw
Tyler who I played football with.
"Tyler," I called.
"Hey, what's good man?" he gave me a
handshake.
"Do you know where I'd find Savannah
Grant?" I asked.
"Oh, that tall blonde chick?" he asked.
"Don't you have a thing with her now?"
"Ha, I don't know," I fake
laughed.
"Yeah, but I think she's in the office for
her in school suspension for hitting Ava or whatever," he
said.
"Oh, okay, thanks man," I said. I was
kind of disappointed but I didn't want to show it. A whole
day without her would be boring. That's when I realized I
was 95% sure I liked her.
