Chapter 2: Are You Gonna Be My Girl?
Shay went to the same diner the next day, hoping to catch a glimpse of the waitress that had served them yesterday. He walked in and sat down on one of the stools. It wasn't long until the same waitress came up to him. "Hey," he said, trying to act smooth.
"Do I know you?" She asked before walking away. He followed her.
"Are you kidding?" How could she not know ME? he thought.
"No. I just don't recognize you." His eyes practically bulged out of his head.
"I'm Shay! You know, S to the H to the A to the Y?" He was completely oblivious of the crowd that had come from the packed resturaunt.
"I don't listen to rap." He was shocked. She really doesn't know me!
"Let's try this again," he mumbled to himself. "I was the guy you served last night who was with 4 other people." She stopped.
"Oh. So you're the guy who was giving me those weird looks." He looked down.
"Yeah."
"Are you like stalking me or something?"
"No! No. I just came to see you." She rolled her eyes at his persistence. He can't be serious, she thought.
"Why? I don't even know you."
"I can tell you, just not here." She realized something.
"You're Jude Harrison's ex-boyfriend, aren't you?" His face brightened.
"So you do know me."
"Yeah. Not the best way to be remembered: I heard you were cheating on her with that pop-wanna be, Eden." She scowled at him.
"I apologized! We're even friends now."
"Mmhmm. Tell it to someone who cares." She kept walking, and he kept following her. She let out a frustrated sigh. "If I listen to you will you leave me alone?"
"Yes." He was sounding completely desperate, but he didn't care.
"Fine. Meet me outside the diner at 4:00."
"Ok." He turned and left. At exactly 4:00, the girl walked out of the diner to see Shay standing there, waiting for her.
"Wow. I told you to come, but I didn't think you'd actually show up. So, if you're not a stalker, why are you following me?" He looked away, slightly embarrassed.
"Well, I saw you yesterday, and I-"
"Wait," She cut in while finally putting the pieces together. "You--you like me?" She asked in disgust. He sighed.
"Yeah." Her jaw dropped.
"Wow. And I thought last thought last night was weird. Are you trying to freak me out?"
"No." He thought of something. "Wait a minute. Lightbulb there: on my head. Do you see it?"
"Your head looks like a lightbulb. Does that count?"
"No. What would you say if I asked you to be in my new video with me?"
"I'd say where are the hidden cameras?"
"It's no joke. If it were I wouldn't be making a fool of myself in public." She raised her eyebrows.
"Can you help it?"
"What does that mean?"
"Think about it. You ask me to be in a video before you even ask me my name."
"Well, what is your name?" She looked disgusted.
"I'm not telling you."
"Why not?"
"If you didn't ask me before I reminded you, how can I be so sure you even care?" He gave her a sad look and she sighed again. "It's Katrina." Shay held out his hand.
"Nice to meet you. So, do you want to be in the video or not?" Katrina completely ignored the fact that he was waiting for her to shake his hand.
"I'll think about it. Besides, don't you need permission or something?" His eyes widened. He had completely forgot.
"You're right. I'll have to talk to Darius about it. I've gotta go. See you later?"
"Sure. Bye." He ran off and Katrina kept walking. "What a jerk."
A/N: Ok, I know Shay was completely OOC in this chapter, but i'm just writing whatever I think, so I wasn't really paying attention to how the characters would really act. Please R&R.
