New Beginnings
Chapter 17
"I had to come," Shawn said. "Or else how would I get home?"
"Whatever," Emma replied and slid into the window seat next to him, without making any eye contact.
Great, Shawn thought. Now she's mad at me too. How can she be mad at me? I didn't do anything. She is the one that kissed someone else. Maybe she had thought it was him, Shawn was now wondering, because she wouldn't be mad at him otherwise.
Shawn took out his cell phone. He saw Emma looking at him quizzically.
"I'm texting my friend," Shawn said. He got out his phone, in the address line he put 718 421 6484, Emma's number. He typed, "im sry maby u wer telin the truth. do u frgive me?" and hit send. He put his phone away and heard Emma's phone ring, telling her that she had a new text. She opened her phone and read the text message. Shawn watched her expressionless face, trying to figure out what she was thinking. She replied and Shawn heard his phone ring. The text message said, "yea, I was tellin the truth. if im ur gf u have 2 trust me." Shawn sent back, "meet me in the back in 5 mins to talk." Shawn watched Emma read the text and slowly nod. He got up and walked to the back. One minute later, Emma came.
"Hey," he said.
"Look," Emma said. "If you really liked me you would have trusted me. That's all there is to it."
"I do trust you Emma, I just tend to overreact."
"Yea, well how 'bout this," Emma said. "I'll forgive you. "Shawn looked so relieved that Emma almost reconsidered what she was about to say. "But I will not be your girlfriends, and things will never really be the same. And, um, by the way, I'm going out with Dave now. He called me yesterday." Then Emma turned her back on Shawn and walked back to her seat.
Shawn went into the bathroom, sat down on the toilet seat and buried his face in his hands.
When Shawn got back to his seat Emma was already settled in, watching the music video for "When I'm gone" by Eminem on her iPod. Shawn could hear a little of the rap coming from the ear buds.
Shawn sat down in his seat and looked over at Emma. She took out one of the headphones and said to Shawn, "I really am going out with Dave. I just called him back and said yes. I'm not just saying that to make you jealous."
Shawn said, "Oh," and reached into his bag and pulled out his iPod. He put on the headphones and started listening.
