A/N: Hey again! I really don't have nething to say before the story other than only some of the things I promised you'd see on the AN of chapter 1 I actually wrote are here so here it goes: _____________________________________________________________________

Chapter 2:

A couple weeks later, Shawn and Cory were hanging out in their dorm. Cory was reading something out of Shawn's poem notebook.

"When I have a bad day and then it suddenly turns bright, I know it's because you walked in the room. Just when it seems like the day is never going to end, I see you, and then I wish it never would, so I could let my eyes be blinded from the eternal shining of your beauty, inside and out." Cory recited. "Wow Shawn, that's really touching. Is this how you feel?"

"Yeah, I really do." Shawn said taking the book back from Cory.

"You're going to tell her, aren't you?" Cory asked.

"I want to, but I don't know how. And what if she doesn't feel the same way?"

"Shawny, I KNOW she feels the same way, she's so into you she stopped dating other people!" Cory blurted. He quickly clapped his hand over his mouth and started beating himself on the hand.

"Really?"

"You didn't hear it from me! If Topanga found out I said something, she'd kill me!"

"Relax Cor, I won't say anything. But, if she feels the same way I would have to make a commitment, wouldn't I? And Cor you know how I am at those things. I don't want to hurt her, she's too precious."

"Well than you can't tell her how you feel, and you'll be miserable. Don't do this to yourself. I don't want to butt in, but I advise you to give commitment another shot." Cory said and closed the door behind him as he left the dorm and left Shawn thinking.

Rachel and Jack sat on opposite ends of the living room in their apartment doing separate things. Every so often they would look up at each other at the same time and Rachel would glare at him. He would just sit there wondering what he did. After about an hour of this, Jack stood up.

"Rachel, please tell me what I did to make you so mad!" She glared at him again, shut her book making a VERY loud bang and trudged up the stairs and into her room. Jack threw his hands in the air and followed her up the stairs. Her door was locked so he knocked. "Rach, please?" No answer. Eric walked into the apartment and called Rachel's name.

"Hey man." Eric said sitting outside her door.

"Hey! I just came to see if the shirt I got for Rachel was the right size." Eric said knocking on her door. "Rachel, it's Eric!"

"Why'd you get her a shirt?" Eric asked.

"For her birthday a few weeks ago, duh!" Eric said pounding on her door.

"DUDE! Why didn't you tell me! That's why she's so mad!"

"Why Jack Hunter. You should be ashamed. You didn't even remember your own girlfriend's birthday. The very day that comes only once a year. The day that celebrates her very being! RACHEL!!!!" Eric shouted. He turned the knob and the door opened. Eric looked around the whole room; Rachel was nowhere to be found.

Shawn and Angelica were getting back from a date that night. They sat on the couch in the lounge and kissed quite a few times.

"Angelica," Shawn said taking her hands in his. "I need to read you something."

"Ok." She said. He read the poem, pausing to look at her inbetween verses.

"Shawn that's one of the most beautiful poems I have ever heard. Did you write this?" she asked.

"Yes. I wrote it last week. That's how I feel about you."
