What If?

Chapter Two

What's Going on?

Fourth Period: Auto

Shayna arrived at her fifth period class with 10 minutes to spare. She noticed there were a few sits in the room she walked into and then a door into what looked like a garage. She quickly took her sit and reached into her bag. She pulled out a notebook and started writing in it. ((really fionna apple lyrics...))

Love ridden, I've looked at you
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles
I've wished on the lidded blue flames
Under your brow
And baby, I wished for you
Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed
And I wanna crawl in with you
But I cry instead
I want your warm, but it will only make
Me colder when it's over,
So I can't tonight, baby
No, not "baby" anymore - if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
My hand won't hold you down no more
The path is clear to follow through
I stood too long in the way of the door
And now I'm giving up on you
No, not "baby" anymore- if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
No, not "baby" anymore- if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave

"Those lyrics?"

Startled, Shayna slowly turned around to see a girl staring at her, "Yeah. They are."

"You write them?"

Shayna nodded.

"Pretty good." The girl walked to the seat infront of Shay and sat down. "I'm Alex."

"Shay."

"Oh. So you're the one who pretty much told my ex off. Nice job."

"Your ex?" Shay asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yep. Jay. He's in this class you know."

Shay rolled her eyes, "Great."

"Don't worry. Stick with me and he wont give you trouble."

"Thanks."

Jay walked in with two other guys.

Alex laughed, "Speak of the devil."

One of the guys walked over to Alex, "Hey Lex. What's up?"

"Not much. Nice to see you back, Sean."

Sean laughed, "It's actually good to be back. Couldn't stand my parent's house."

Alex smiled and looked at Shay, then back to Sean, "This is Shay. She's new."

Shay looked up at Sean, "Hey."

"Oh, you're the girl Ellie was telling me about. Well, Jay was talking about you, too."

"I bet he was." Shay mumbled.

A teached in a wheelchair entered the room, "Take your seat, pleace."

Shay got up and walked over to the teached, she wasn't on most of her teachers attendance sheets, so she wanted to make sure she was on his.

"Hi. I'm Shayna Whalen. My name hasn't been on most of my teachers attendance sheets, so just in case, I wanted to let you know who I was."

"Well, thank you for making sure. I'm Mr. Ehl."

"Nice to meet you." Shay shook his hand and sat back down behind Alex. She noticed Jay was in the seat next to her.

He looked at her and smiled, "Looks like we have class together."

"Well, I believe we have more than one class together. But you wouldn't know that."

"And why wouldn't I?"

"Well, because you haven't been in any class today besides this one."

"Is that a problem?"

"No. But I can tell you're a very smart person if you're skipping the first day."

"It's tradition."

"Whatever."

Mr. Ehl looked at Jay, "Mr. Hogart, please leave Ms. Whalen alone."

Jay sighed, "Yes, sir."

Alex turned to face Shay and they both started laughing.

XXXXXXX

Shay walked to her locker and opened it. She put all her books that she got in her locker considering she didn't have any homework. She pulled out a mirror out of her bag and stuck it to the inside of her locker. She then pulled out a small shelf/basket and put in underneath the mirror. She pulled out a small bag that had make up in it and dumped the contents into the small shelf/basket. She put her bag inside her locker and turned to the mirror. She grabbed her eye liner and touched up her make up. When she finished, she grabbed her bag and closed her locker.

She walked to the exit with headphones on. She started to look in her bag for her mp3 player that her headphones were attached to but she couldn't find it. She kept on walking while looking for it. She crashed into someone. She pulled out her headphones and looked down at the girl she knocked over.

"Oh my god. I'm so sorry." She put out her hand to help the girl up. The girl accepted it.

"It's OK. But you should watch were you're going."

"Yeah, I know. You're like the 5th person I've walked into today."

The girl laughed, "I'm Emma."

"I'm Shay."

"Well, nice to meet you, but i gotta get home."

"I can give you a ride if you want. It is kind of my fault if you're late. I knocked you over."

Emma hesitated for a minute, "Sure."

They walked out of the school over to Shay's car. An orange civic was parked next to it, with 4 people standing around it.

Shay could hear Emma whisper, "Great.'

Shay looked at her, "What's wrong?"

"That's Jay and his friends. There was this thing that happened last year with me and Jay. I knida got a STD from him. He cheated on Alex, too. With me and her ex best friend Amy."

"And she's still friends with him?"

"They've always been close, so I guess so."

They walked up next to Shay's car.

"Hey Shay." Jay said.

Shay ignored him and looked over at Alex and Sean, "Hey guys. Give me a call later. You got my number right, Alex?"

Alex nodded, trying not to laugh. She then looked at Emma, "Emma, no hard feelings OK? I mean if I can forgive this scum bag," she pointed to Jay, "I can forgive you."

Emma laughed, "Thanks."

Shay and Emma got in the car and drove away.


OK. The song is Love Ridden.

I know not much drama yet. I'm getting there. In a few chapters you will find out who Shay is connected to and how.
