I walked into my bedroom and closed the wooden door behind me.

I walked to my bed and picked up the small cellphone I had gotten in 7th grade.

I dialed Shay's number and pressed call.

I heard the phone ringing, and I felt butterflies form in my stomach as the sound of his voice came up on the other end.

"Hello?" I heard his deep voice answer.

"Hi Shay! It's Pespin." I said softly.

"Oh hey!" He answered.

"About tonight, I know you were wondering if we could go out to dinner, but I was wondering if maybe you could just come over here and we can talk."

"Cool!" I could feel him smiling through the phone.

"See you in a few! Bye!" I said as I hung up the phone. I took a hair tie and put my hair up in a ponytail on the back of my head. I grabbed the white cloth sweater I usually wear a lot, and I put it over my white tank top, letting it fall off my shoulder a tiny bit.

I heard a knock on the door, and went downstairs to open it.

I opened it up and saw Shay standing in front of me.

"Come in!" I motioned for him to come in with my hand. He walked in and I led him up to my bedroom.

I opened up the door and walked in, closing the door behind us. I felt as if a million butterflies were flying through my stomach every time we made eye contact. I went over and sat on my bed, playing with a piece of hanging string on my pants.

"You know what I think is cool?" Shay asked, breaking the silence.

"What?"

"You are so different from everyone else, in a good way. You could care less what everyone at school thinks of you."

"If I care what people think it will make me insecure about my self. I would rather be hated for who I am, then be liked for what I am pretending to be." I said, feeling as if my face were vacant. Shay chuckled.

"It is not funny!" I laughed as I threw my pillow at his face.

"It is funny. You are so amazing, you know that?" Shay said looking me straight in the eye.

"I think I might be the opposite." I could feel his face moving closer. I felt his warm soft lips against mine, our lips intertwined perfectly, and it was like our lips were ment to touch. I put my hands on his neck, as he wrapped his around my waist. I felt a trillion butterflies form in my stomach. I went backwards, and laid on the bed as we kissed. It was nothing more than just kissing, I would not let it go to far.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Shay asked as his lips pulled away from my face. I smiled at the word. Girlfriend. Boyfriend. If Shay weren't here I probably would scream into my pillow with excitement.

"Yes." I said softly, as I kissed him quickly on the lips. I laid on my side, as Shay did the same. For awhile he stared at me. I brushed some hair from his eyes, and he kissed me on the forehead.

"Have you ever had a girlfriend before?" I asked. I knew it was rude, but I wanted to see what he would say.

"Yeah."

"Who?"

"Does it matter?"

"Yes!"

"Fine. It was Aria." He sighed.

"Okay." I felt a ping of jealousy run through my body. Aria. She would definitely try to compete with me for Shay. I hate her for that, "Why did you even go out with her?" I asked.

"She liked me, and I did not want to reject her, it would be rude of me. So I asked her out on a date and we dated for 6 months. Then she broke up with me."

"Why?"

"It is nothing."

"It is obviously something."

"I am not telling you anymore."

"I don't see why you can't." I said getting sort of irked. Shay grimaced.

"Let it go." He snapped. His reaction made me jump. "I am sorry, I don't like talking about it." He sighed rubbing his face with his hands. I sat up and got off the bed and stood up.

"Do you want to stay for dinner?" I asked, brushing the hair in my ponytail.

"Sure, if it is okay with your parents."

"It will be fine." I kissed his warm cheek, and wrapped my arms around his waist as I laid my head on his firm chest.

When it was time for dinner, Shay and I went down and sat next to each other at the table.

I watched as Lux and Lathan sat down, then my Grandmother, and then my parents.

"Why are you dating Pespin of all people?" Lathan asked, raising his eyebrows. I shot a glare towards Lathan, which completely shut him up.

"How old are you?" My Father asked, eyeing him suspiciously.

"My age." I narrowed my eyes at my Father who chuckled under his breath.

"Do you have any brother's or sisters?" Lux asked her eyes full of curiosity.

"I have a little sister and a litter brother. I think you know my brother, Jaydin." Shay smiled softly.

Lux blushed, and went right back to eating, which made me giggle.

"Are you good to her?" My Grandmother glared.

"Grandma!" My face probably turned beet red. I looked at my Mother who was staring at him, her face vacant.

I wondered if she liked him, or realized that he was the guy that had kissed Lilia. I made eye contact with her, and made sure my eyes looked soft, to make her narrowed eyes soften. They eventually did, which made me sigh in releif.

When dinner was done, we hurried back up to my room. I was anxious to get away from all of them.
