Carmen:"Nothing…nothing at all" God! if only I could tell her exactly what I was thinking. 

 There was another thunder sound and I jumped in my part of the bed. I feel Shane move closer to me and put her arm around me. I look at her and see her eyes closed and she’s smiling. I snuggle under Shane’s arm and ‘try’ to cuddle with her. I think she doesn’t really know how to cuddle. But I just fit myself in her lanky frame. 

 Am I really cuddling with the biggest player in town?!?!? 

 Carmen: "How are your wounds?" I ask remembering the thrash she got a few nights before. Her breathing is still not very heavy, so I am guessing she’s not sleeping yet. 

 Shane: "I am fine…just my stomach  bothers me sometimes." 

 Carmen: "Yeah the cut on your abs was pretty deep." I put my hand under her tank top and drag my fingers across her scar. I feel her abs flex on my touch. I get so turned on when she does that! Slowly I feel her fall asleep and I drift off to sleep. 

 Suddenly I see that there is this big ass party in Cherie’s house and basically the whole school is invited and its full of booze and sex. I just came in to see if Shane is here, which I figured that she would be. I go upstairs in her closet and I heard heavy panting coming from the closed door of her closet. I am always welcome in her little closet and we got pretty close, so I open the door to find Shane and Cherie making out heavily. That got my temper shot up and I just kicked all her books that were lying on the floor and slapped her on her face! how could she do this after being in a relationship with me for 6 months!! 

  I hear Shane calling my name. But there’s no turning back…That’s it. I thought I could trust Shane but clearly I was wrong. She committed to me and she broke my heart! 

 Shane: "Carmen….Carm….wake up!!! wake up! you’re having a nightmare" 

 I wake up groggily to find Shane lying beside me still her hand around my waist. I breath heavily in satisfaction that it was just a bad dream but I kinda liked the fact that we were in a relationship in the dream I kinda wish it was true I mean not the cheating part…..I see Shane looking at me with those piercing green eyes. 

Just then a thunder strikes. I snuggle on her chest…happy that she’s with me! 

 Carmen: "never ever do that to me" I mutter under my breath. I think she didn’t hear me. She just pulled me closer and stroke my hair to sleep. 

 Next morning I wake up at 5 o’ clock… the sun is shining bright…but I don’t find Shane beside me. I kinda freaked me out. Where did Shane go? but then I see Shane standing in front of me with a stack of pancakes and syrup on top. 

 Shane: "come on sleepyhead we need to get to school"  she smiles. 

 We eat from the same plate and then we say our goodbyes and thank-yous to the Garretts. I was feeling sleepy so Shane is driving. I go home and grab a quick shower and wait for the bus with Shane. She has also taken a shower, and she didn’t dry well….so the water is still dripping off her hair on her neck. I have this sudden urge to lick it off her neck but it would be inappropriate in a public setting. We get on the bus and she sits in the seat behind me. After that I don’t see her for the rest of the day…..
