DISCLAIMER: I don't own Boy Meets World. I'm trying to get the rights but... that's not working out that well. Oh well, what can you do?

Author's Note: Sorry about the delay. I got really busy. My cousins came to visit for a few days and I have had zero time for writing. Reading yes, but that's it. About this chapter, I didn't know what to do for Cory, so... yeah. Please Review. And thanks to everyone that has!


Chapter 3: Cory Matthews

New York City. I look out and see it but I can't really believe that I'm here. My wife wanted to come because of her job; I just came because of her. I guess New York's alright, but it's not really where I want to be. But don't tell anyone that, especially Topanga.

To tell the truth, I wish I was back in high school. I knew where I was in high school and I knew who I was for the most part, too. I was Topanga's boyfriend, Eric's little brother and Shawn's best friend.

Shawn. There's something else that I'm not completely honest about. Topanga is supposed to be my best friend because she's my wife. She's not though. Shawn is and always will be. He and I have been together, through thick and thin, since we were kids. Okay, so I've known Topanga that long too but it's not the same. You see, I didn't like her for a while and then she went away for a while. But not Shawn. The most we've ever spent apart was a summer and even that was too long.

Back in high school, there were a few rumors. Mostly directed towards me but they were still there. They said that Shawn and I were gay, that we loved each other. Now you can see why they were mostly directed towards me. Even with Topanga, I was never the ladies' man that Shawn was... is, I guess. I think the rumors started when Frankie and Joey made us wear those cheerleaders outfits and just progressed from there.

Even now, once in a while, I see Topanga looking at us funny when we hang out. It's like she's trying to figure out if the rumors were true. I don't even think she knows that she's doing it.

But you know what? I do love Shawn. I just don't love him the way that everyone thought. He's my best friend.

I just hope Topanga never finds out.
