The Shane Game
Chapter 25

“Shane, get up! It’s 2:30!” Shane’s mom yelled at him, coming in his room and turning on the lights.
“Noooo,” he pulled the covers over himself. His phone chimed for about the twelfth time in the last hour.
“Who keeps texting you?” Mrs. Palmer asked, grabbing Shane’s iPhone off his nightstand.
“No!” Shane immediately shot up and took his phone back. The sound wasn’t him receiving texts, it was notifications from Facebook of what he could only imagine ended up online.
“Clean up this room, it’s a mess,” Mrs. Palmer said and then left.
Shane checked through his phone to see he was tagged in a picture with a bunch of likes and comments. “Get it Shane!” “That’s my boy!” What were they talking about? The picture wouldn’t load so he had to go on his computer to see it.
“No,” he whispered to himself when he finally saw it. He thought it was just a dream that he got with Willow and Autumn, he didn’t know it actually happened. What would he say to Savannah? He couldn’t deny it- it was on the internet! He looked through more pictures and saw himself kissing Casey Reynolds on the cheek, grinding with Paige and Tiff, giving Kayla Beck a piggy back ride, playing beer pong with a bunch of people, taking a hit of everyone’s joint, and so much more that he barely remembered.
He logged off and went on to Twitter to check Savannah’s latest tweets. There were three recent ones from today. The first was just a simple cry face emoticon. Was that about finding the picture of Shane? The second really shocked him- “I love my best friend Ava <3” Was Ava the one who showed Sav the picture?? Maybe it was just a typo and she didn’t mean to say Ava. But the third confirmed Shane’s fears. It was a picture of Savannah smiling while Ava kissed her on the cheek.
“Sh.tttt!!!” Shane yelled at no one when he accidentally retweeted the picture. He quickly deleted it, but he knew Savannah would get an e-mail about it. About ten seconds later he refreshed his news feed to see two identical tweets from Savannah and Ava.
They were each only two words long, but it made him feel so sh.tty.
He re-read the tweets a million times, hoping it would make them disappear-
“Hi Shane.”

Note: "We're all part of the same sick little games and I need to get away."

Teaser: Ava and Savannah smirked at each other, pleased with the confusion that was going on amongst the other kids.
