The Shane Game
Chapter 40
He
was surprised when Savannah didn’t immediately pull up. A
million memories raced through his mind and he wanted it all
back.
But right on cue, Savannah
pulled up. “What’s wrong?” Shane asked, going
in for more.
“So when were you going
to tell me about Lex?” she c.cked her eyebrow and Shane
knew he was in trouble.
“To be honest, I
wasn’t,” he said. That’s not what Savannah was
expected. She and Ava practiced it as if he was going to tell her
soon.
“I knew it would hurt you
and I didn’t want you to look down on me because of it. She
asked me to do it again today though and I rejected her,”
he said truthfully.
“Oh,” Savannah
said. “Well...thanks.”
Shane kissed her again but she
pulled up. “Shane, really. Why are you trying to make me
think you like me? I already told you I wouldn’t tell your
secret to anyone, and I haven’t. I don’t plan on it
either.”
“I know,” Shane
said. “It’s just something about you that makes me
want you.” Savannah rolled her eyes at his cheesy
response.
“Obviously not enough to
prove it to your friends,” she said.
“Savannah, do you know
what would happen to me if I let everyone know I liked you?
I’d be ridiculed forever,” he said, hoping
she’d appreciate his honestly.
But she didn’t. “So
instead you let them make fun of me? You’re embarrassed by
me, Shane. You don’t like me!”
“How can I prove to you
that I truly do??” the desperation in his voice was
apparent.
“Two things,”
Savannah tauntingly smirked. “One, tell all of your friends
we hang together. And when they ask why, tell them the truth.
Two, stop hooking up with so many girls. And if you’re
‘so drunk and high’ and accidentally do, tell
me.”
“Done,” Shane
agreed.
Note: do you think he'll do
it?
Teaser: If Aaron could hook up with her and get away with it then
Shane could tell them he liked her, right?
Wrong.
