The rest of the day at school, I was mentally checked out. I kept thinking about everything that had happened at lunch.
When my last class ended, I didn’t even notice the bell had rung. It wasn’t until I saw everyone getting up from their seats that I realized school was over for the day.
Shawn said he liked me. And it wasn’t just as someone he talked to. He made it seem like it was more than that.
It’s funny how they say to be careful what you ask for. I wanted Shawn to notice me. I wanted to be seen and to matter. Now that I suddenly have that, I’m not sure I like it.
I’m not used to getting attention. What happened at lunch, especially with Michelle, made me want to run and hide. That’s why I thought it would be best not to be friends with Shawn; it was giving me the attention
