Chapter 3-Cory & Lauren Tell All
Shawn gazed at him penetratingly-waiting. "Shawn what are you talking about"? Cory stammered. "You know what I'm talking about Cory". Shawn's eyes flashed. Cory was still trying to keep it from him. Cory saw the look in his eyes and knew. "How Shawn"? "How did you know". Shawn remained quiet for a moment; pondering his reply. "It's not important Cory". "Now tell me". Shawn said with a tone in his voice that Cory didn't hear often. Cory sighed. "Alright". "Well.you guys left". "I thought I was alone". "But then I heard a girls voice". "Her name was Lauren".
Everything toppled out of Cory's mouth. It started awkwardly, but began to flow smoothly as Cory continued. Shawn spoke not a word the whole time. "And Shawn". Concluded Cory. "I think I'm falling in love with this girl". Cory stopped speaking. That was the end. Shawn pondered. Then he asked the question Cory himself didn't want to hear. "What are you going to do about Topanga". "I don't know Shawn"! Cory said, his voice beginning to rise. "Well, man"; Said Shawn. "You better do something soon". "Cuz' the longer you wait, not only are you worsening the situation, but your hurting two girls as well as yourself". "Oh Shawn I'm so confused"! "I love Topanga"! Shawn, once again, paused. "Cory"? "Ask yourself this question"; "Do you"?
The bus pulled up to the school. Cory and Shawn waited for the whole bus to empty while getting off. Cory limped down the aisle-holding the seats for support. Shawn got off first and helped an unbalanced Cory down the stairs. He began to drag him into the school. Cory craned his neck. "Thank you"! He called back to the driver. The driver nodded. The door shut. And in a flash, the bus was gone.
The two headed back to the classroom and sat down in their seats to be dismissed. Mr. Feeny entered shortly after them. "Did you all enjoy that little break"? Asked Mr. Feeny. The class nodded and erupted in cheers. Mr. Feeny smiled. "Good". "Cuz' you all have an essay due tomorrow on the ice- particles in snow". The cheers turns to "AHHHHH"! Mr. Feeny smiled again. "I want it to be a minimum of five pages". "What did I just say Mr. Hunter"? Asked Mr. Feeny to the sleeping boy at the back of the class. "You said..The terrorists here are outrageous". "Very good Mr. Hunter". Replied Mr. Feeny. And before the "AHHHHHHHHHHH"!'s came back, Mr. Feeny stood up straightly and said "Class dismissed"! And the stampede of children rushed out of the classroom. Cory and Shawn left. Topanga caught up with them. "Hey Cory I'll walk home with you"! Said Topanga. "We can work on the essays together"! Shouted Topanga over the loud buzzing of John Adams High. "SURE"! Cory shouted back. Shawn gave Cory one last glance. "Call me later ok man"? Said Shawn. Cory nodded. "And be careful"! He mouthed. And with that Shawn was off and Cory and Topanga walked to the Matthews home together. "Hi Mom"! "Hi Morgan"! Was all Cory said as he and Topanga ran up to his room. They wanted to get the essays done as soon as possible.
"I gotta go to the washroom be right back ok Topanga"? "Okay". Topanga replied as he stumbled into the bathroom. Topanga rolled her eyes. Cory's big heavy bag from the ski trip was taking up almost the whole room! Topanga picked it up and threw it to the side. As she did, a small piece of paper fluttered to the floor. Curiosity took over Topanga. She picked up the folder paper, and opened it. But what she saw, she wasn't prepared for. Tears sprang up in her eyes. She jotted a quick note on the other side of the note, and got her stuff. She jumped out Cory's window and ran home.
Cory came back in from the bathroom. Un-prepared for the scene that was awaiting him. He opened his bedroom door. Topanga as well as all her belongings was gone. A piece of paper littered the floor. Cory walked over slowly to it. He picked it up. It was Lauren's note. He didn't read it, but turned it over to the other side. In writing that could only be Topanga's, three words stood out. "HOW COULD YOU"?!
Please review and I hope that you all enjoyed. Thanks!
