Chapter 4

Author: Kristy Browning

Chloe found herself lost in thought for the fourth time this morning, She knew that Mimi was talking to her but she just couldn't concentrate on what she was saying.

"What? Hmm. Oh, Brady Black?" Chloe mumbled "No, Meems, this has nothing to do with Brady."

"Oh yeah, sure Chloe whatever you say" said Mimi, all the while trying to figure out why Chloe and Brady hadn't admitted their feelings to one another yet. Hmm..maybe I'll have to do something about that too..Mimi thought to herself.

Chloe looked at Mimi who was obviously lost in thought herself and saw that she had a mischevious grin on her face. "Ok, Meems, what are you up to now?"

"You'll see" answered Mimi.

"Well, I have to get to class, see ya Meems" Chloe called as she was walking down the hall.

Just as Chloe rounded the corner she ran into Phillip. Oh lord, this is just what I need today Chloe thought to herself.

"Chloe, we really need to talk" Phillip said.

"If I have told you once, I have told you a thousand times Phillip. We are over. Now get it through that thick little head of yours" Chloe replied angrily.

"Come on, Chloe, you can't really mean that" Phillp whined.

"Oh yes I do, Phillip. I have never meant anything more in my life. Now leave me alone" Chloe turned to walk away only to find Phillip had grabbed ahold of her arm.

"Let me go" Chloe yelled.

"Not until you hear me out, Chloe" said Phillip angrily. "I know your breaking up with me has to do with Brady, doesn't it?"

"No, Phillip, that's where you are soo wrong" said Chloe "I am a big girl, I make my own decisions, and you are not good for me Phillip, our relationship wasn't good for either of us, all we did was fight. Now let me go!"

Phillip released Chloe and she stormed off. I can't believe it's really over Phillip thought, well maybe we can still at least be friends.

Shawn noticed Phillip standing by his locker looking rather shocked. "What's up, man? he asked.

"Do you really want to know? Do you really want to hear me whine about not having Chloe anymore? Phillip answered "It's really over this time Shawn."

"Man, I'm sorry, Phil" Shawn said "but you know women, once they make up their minds about something there is no changing them. I guess we both really screwed up this time, huh?"

"Yeah, but at least you can still try and make up for what you did. Come on Shawn, I know you really didnt sleep with Jan Spears, did you? Nah, you couldn't have, you love Belle way too much to do something like that, so why don't you just tell me what is going on with that."

"Sorry, Phil, I can't. I made a promise and a Brady never goes back on a promise." replied Shawn.

"Ok, man, no pressure, but I'm here if you wanna talk." said Phillip.

"I know man, I know" Shawn said "now come on, we are gonna be late for class."
