Chapter Eleven: Awkward Silences
~Scott~
"Shelby. I need to speak with you," I said to her as she walked past me with her robe on.
"Can't it wait? I have a paper to type up and a ton of other things to do," she explained, trying to get out of it.
"No way."
"Okay. I'm coming, but don't take too long," she gave in as a surprised look crossed my face. Was it really this easy to get back on her good side?
"Are you still mad at me," I asked as we walked down the stairs together.
"I wouldn't say I'm mad, but I'm not exactly happy about what happened on the tour," she replied as we reached the end of the staircase.
"Well, normally, I wouldn't do this, but I take full blame for everything. You were right about me not wanting you to grow up and all that other crap. Shelby. I just don't want you to leave hating my guts," I said as I took her hand.
"Scott. It's not completely your fault. I let all that stuff build up and I blew up on you," she explained as she crossed her hands around her elbows.
"So. Am I forgiven," I asked after a long, awkward silence.
"I guess so, but next time don't be so jealous," she joked as she started to walk back up the staircase.
"Jealous? Me? Never," I replied, completely lying. Didn't I admit to her that I was jealous one time?
"Okay Scott. Sure. You were fine with the idea of some guy coming into my life and putting a gap between our friendship," she sarcastically replied as she walked into my room and turned on the computer.
"I wasn't jealous, just overprotective. Besides, I was right. The thing with Ashley didn't work our," I said with a huge smile.
"And," she asked as she turned on the TV.
"I know best," I joked again as I sat down on my couch to see what she was watching.
"Oh sure, Scott," she replied, as she through a pillow at me, which I successfully dodged. "SO who are you taking to the prom," she asked, as she started to type her paper.
"Why do you want to know," I asked, making her beg if she wanted to go with me.
"Because I want to go to the prom this year. I went last year and it was fun," she stated as I laughed at her.
"Yeah right. A FRESHMAN at a junior prom. That's funny," I laughed as she turned around and stared at me.
"Yes. A FRESHMAN. I just didn't tell you. And by the way, it was a SENIOR prom," she yelled back, returning to her typing.
"Oh yeah. So who did you go with," I asked, still not believing a word that she was saying.
"Angel Brockingham."
"You went with a girl," I asked with a laugh.
"No. That was a guy. You don't even know anything about your school," she replied as she shook her head. "So are you going to take me or what," she asked after another awkward silence.
"I guess. I mean I've had so many girls ask me," I joked.
"Oh sure. And how many of them were imaginary," she joked back as she kept typing.
"None, but Kat and I were suppose to go," I mentioned as I saw her expression change.
"If you want to go with her, then I'll get David to take me," she stated as she started to print her paper.
"Naw. I'm just kidding. I'll take you," I said, surprised that she was done with her paper already.
A/N: I never realized how short my chapter where until now. I'll start updating two chapters at a time . if I get 4 or more reviews.~~
