"Good morning!" My friends greeted, sitting on either side of me. "Happy new year, by the way!"

I just merely smiled at them then returned to reading another Webtoon that I decided to download last night. Y/bff/n peered over my shoulder and groaned. She took my phone into her hands, making me sit up and glare at her.

"Ugh! Seriously?! A bunch of pictures with words are more important than us?" She complained, scrolling through the episode.

"STOP! I might lose track of where I'm at!" I exclaimed, grabbing the device from her and looking for the part of the episode I'm at.

"Boring! School hasn't even officially started yet you're reading?"

"Hey! It has an awesome plot! It's about a vampire who decides to prey on a guy with OCD and decides to help him get over it since she's attracted to the energy he gives off because instead of drinking blood, they feed off energy. It's rather cute except her sister and her best friend are annoying." (Can you guys guess what Webtoon this is?)

"For someone who hates the mere idea of love, you sure read a lot of romance." Mitch said, laughing at me.

"That's because fictional love stories are better than real life. If ever one guy is a douche, there's always a plot twist and it never ends on a tragedy or a broken heart."

"YEET! Since when did you get so smart?"

I just laughed and turned back to reading. They continued talking among themselves about another band. I occasionally gave my inputs but for the most part, I focused on the Webtoon. I put my phone away once the teacher arrived and focused on the lesson while my friends carried on with their gossip.

"Hey y/n. Did you know that Shawn's coming back? I heard that he has to retake some of his classes since he barely showed up last year and to think that he's supposed to be a year ahead of us." y/bff/n said, leaning closer to my chair to tell me.

"And I care why?" I asked, jotting down the things the professor was writing on the board.

"Oh. She doesn't know that we ship them." Mitch giggled, making me slam my pen on my notebook.

"Why the fuck would you? I'm sorry but I have standards, unlike you who would sleep around with just any guy."

"Um, excuse me. What did you just say?"

"Ms. Y/last/n, Ms. Grey, is there a problem?" Ms. Smith asked, pausing her lecture to turn to us.

"Can I please be transferred? Mitch and Y/bff/n won't shut up and I'm trying to pay attention to the lecture." I immediately asked, raising my right hand.

"Mr. Simpson, please switch seats with Ms. y/l/n. Ms. Y/bff/last/n and Ms. Grey, please focus on the lesson."

I immediately stood up and transferred to the window seat in the middle row of the class. There was an empty seat beside me which was kind of confusing as I was switched with someone instead of being moved to it. I shrugged it off and continued to listen to the lecture. Not even five minutes later, it was then disrupted by someone walking into the room, hood on and hands in the pockets of their jacket.

"Nice of you to join us, Mr. Mendes. The principal has made me aware that you would be part of this class." Ms. Smith said, crossing her arms across her chest. "There's an empty seat right there. I personally made sure to keep you in sight as God knows what you might do."

He turned his head to the seat the professor pointed out. His eyes immediately met mine as a smirk formed on his lips. I rolled my eyes and scooted my chair closer to the wall, although it was quite impossible considering that I was literally a centimeter away from it. As he sat down beside me, I couldn't help but feel uneasy at the fact that my heart was beating out of my chest.

"Hey bitch." He greeted as I pressed myself against the wall.

"Fucktard." I muttered in acknowledgement.

I know. We're both hostile to each other but that's only because he would pick on me when we were kids. I actually had all intentions to befriend him yet he would either ignore me or push me away back then to the point that I hated him for it. Who wouldn't if you're the one that's openly going to him yet were ignore while he was friendly with everyone else? He's friends with my friends but still ignores me when he can.

Once the bell rang, I sprung up on my feet and left, trying to avoid him and my friends but that was only short-lived. Y/bff/n was able to see what I was doing and caught up to me just when I was about to be dragged along with the crowd. She wrapped her arm around me and led me to the other side of the building. She stopped in front of the janitor's closet thus making me suspicious of the situation.

"What do you want?" I asked rather irritably.

"How could you leave us like that?!" She said, throwing her hands in the air.

"Because you were annoying now let me go."

"Nope."

She blocked my way as soon as I stepped to my left. Thank God it's a vacant period or else I would have killed her for making me late or worse, skip. Before I could open my mouth to utter something, I was pushed into the closet, the door closing in front of me. I pounded on the wood, begging her to let me out and the door did open... Only to have a hard build be pushed towards me as I tried to get away.

I felt my chest getting tighter and my hands turn cold. I could barely breathe. I could barely see properly as my vision became blurred and black was seeping through the edges. It felt as if the walls of the dark room were about to close in on me. My legs gave out but I was caught and pulled into someone's chest before I could fall to the ground. I looked up to find a slightly blurry Shawn right in front of me.

"Shit. Are you okay?" He asked in worry as I struggled to relax.

"I'm... I'm claustrophobic." I managed to breathe out as my eyes went in and out of focus.

"I'm gonna kill those two when we get out."

I felt him slowly put me down on the floor. He sat beside me and took my into his arms, making me sit on his lap. He wrapped his arms around me and placed my head on his chest, holding it there as he ran his fingers through my hair.

"Shhh. Calm down. Close your eyes and breathe in slowly." He cooed, rubbing my back with his other hand. "It will all be alright."

He continued to murmur those into my ear and I eventually felt myself relaxing in his arms. I laid there, my eyes still closed as he held me. He didn't seize his actions as my heart rate slowly went back to normal.

"Shawn..." I muttered.

"Yeah?"

"Why do you hate me so much?"

He took a while before he could answer and I couldn't help but feel uneasy. "I don't hate you. I don't ever think I could."

"Then why did you push me away?"

"Because I like you. I pushed you away in fears that you wouldn't feel the same, even at a young age. I didn't want to be obvious either. I don't know how long I've been hiding it but on the last month of the school year, I realized that I didn't want to graduate high school, regretting the fact that I didn't tell you how I felt thus the reason why I'm here."

"You didn't have to sacrifice your grades for me."

"I know but I didn't know what else I should do."

"Kiss me."

I honestly have no idea where the hell that came from but I had no time to beat myself up over it since a second after I said that, he planted his lips on mine. I blindly wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him close to me, silently enjoying the moment.

"FINALLY!" We heard someone yell, making us jump and pull away.

I saw my friends outside of the door, celebrating among themselves. We both stood up and before I knew it, I was about to run outside to kill them. They shrieked when they saw me about to go to them and strangle their necks but Shawn held my wrist immediately as they ran away.

"It's not worth it." He chuckled as I pouted up at him.

He leaned back down and we continued with what we were doing before we were both rudely interrupted.
