A/N: Received reviews that I thought over. I would like to thank my guests & Childhood Enigma for always reviewing my stories! I like all of your ideas and I think I'm going to go with just that! It makes since and you guys want to see what Pru is all about so I guess I can move away from the scripts of Boy Meets World and just come up with some of my own ideas which I have in mind! The funny thing is I'm watching boy meets world on tv right now :p So this chapter moves on from Monday to the middle of the week!

I don't really know where the world is but I miss it now.

I'm out on the edge & I'm screaming my name,

Like a fool at the top of my lungs.

Sometimes when I close my eyes I pretend I'm alright, but it's never enough.

Cause my echo, echo.

Is the only voice coming back.

Shadow, Shadow...Is the only friend that I have.

- Jason Walker, "Echo"

"HUMP DAY, HUMP DAY, HUMP DAY!" Pru shouted down the hallway as she followed Topanga to her locker.

It was a Wednesday and Pru seemed to be in a good mood which everyone in the Lawrence household took notice of. Pru said she was only in a good mood because it was Wednesday, Wednesday was her favorite day of the week but she could never explain why.

Topanga sighed with a smile playing on her lips, "Pru...you know I love you but you sound like Pop Pop Johnny when he needs help getting up."

Pru laughed at that, She hasn't seen her grandfather in years. The few times she's visited him he didn't seem as strict as her mother told her he was when she was growing up. He was fairly nice to Pru and Topanga when they would have family gatherings in Utah, he cracked jokes and made riddles that were impossible to figure out.

Pru leaned against the set of lockers beside Topanga's, "Pangz? Do you ever wonder would it would be like if our mothers married men Pop Pop and Grams wanted them to marry in the Mormon village or whatever it was they called it?"

Topanga had looks of wonder on her face as she pushed some textbooks into her locker and pulled out a notebook instead.

"Our grandparents were devoutly religious once upon of time, PJ. If our mothers listened to them we probably wouldn't be where we are to this very day. In a way I'm happy that our mothers didn't listen to our grandparents...I however would never be able to disobey my parents like that." Topanga said with her hands on her chest as she looked at Pru.

Pru rolled her eyes at her older cousin by three months, "Of course you couldn't because you're the biggest saint out there!"

Topanga frowned as she closed her locker, "What's that supposed to mean?"

Pru cocked her head to the side, "This isn't to offend you, this is just me being honest. Pangz...since we were kids you were always the one our great aunts and uncles admired. They'd gush all over you during family gatherings, they even talk about what colleges you should look into...I mean you're just fifteen!"

Topanga was offended, Pru always seemed to make it her fault that she was very intelligent. Family members admired her because she put time into everything she did. Maybe she was a saint but that doesn't mean she should be ashamed of all the hard work she put into her studies and offering to charities.

"Well it's always good to see family members. Maybe I am a saint, maybe I'm not but at least they give me credit instead of knocking me down!" There was anger in her eyes and Pru returned it.

"You think I had a choice to come and see you or anyone else? My father had my mother and I on lockdown sometimes, we moved all over the the place because of his "job". Whenever we did come for family gatherings it was always just my mom and I, we stayed for a night and left the next day because my father was cautious with having his enemies following after us. I didn't have a life until I came here! Remember when we went to our Great Aunt Catherine's house this summer? She didn't even embrace me in a hug...I don't think you noticed. All she did was knock me down saying how my father was a no good and that I'm most likely going to grow up to be trash just like him. So excuse me for being a little jealous with our family always praising you and kicking me to the side!"

Pru felt her eyes getting glossy and Topanga's anger turned into sympathy. She didn't notice because she was too busy being praised over, she didn't know why Pru was so quiet on the way home that night. She didn't notice and felt horrible for just jumping on Pru just because she thought she was jealous and that was it. Pru wasn't just jealous...she wanted someone to love her for once instead of feeling ignored. Topanga took a step towards Pru and watched her take a step back, "PJ..."

Pru knew tears would start falling now and she couldn't let her newfound audience see her cry. She picked her bag off the floor and didn't even look at Topanga, "I've got to go."

"Pru! Pru, I'm sorry!" Topanga yelled after her but Pru just kept walking with her head down.

Pru speed walked through the hallways trying to find a way out of the school. She was still lost even after three weeks, she was panting trying to find her breath. She felt herself start to sweat and the room was starting to spin, she needed to get out of here fast before her episode took over again. Pru felt her chest start to swell, she used her hand to rub her chest trying to get this pain to go away. This isn't the first time Pru had a panic attack, through her spinning vision she noticed a door between two sets of lockers. She set herself into a jog and pushed the door open but failed to notice that it was a fire exit.

'This day really couldn't get any worse,' Pru thought through her attack as she jogged away from door and from the school.

The flashing bell went off, faintly Pru could hear someone over the intercom telling the students to report to the front or the back of the school depending where their classes were located. Pru takes off into a sprint towards the woods that was not far away from the school at all, no one seems to notice but Shawn. He was with the principal and they were the first to leave the school after the bell went off, he was late to Feeny's class as it is since he got caught making out with Ginger Darten. The Principal stood at the front of the school and motioned for the kids to move away from the school, Shawn knew that if he blended in with the kids he could get away from the principal easily. Kids pushed their way by the principal and Shawn slowly moved himself backwards as the principal had his back to him.

Biting his lips and he turned his back to the principal and ran towards the side of the building. He just saw Pru's black and white striped shirt disappear between the trees. Shawn wondered why she was skipping school, he knew she hated school just as much as he did but she would never skip class...especially Feeny's. Shawn ran down the path into the woods and slowed into a jog wondering where she went off to, he walked down the path a little more and noticed some beat up white converse sticking out of the side. Shawn slowly walked over to her feet and pushed some branches back to see her laying on her back, tears shining down her creamy cheeks like diamonds and a cigarette in between her pink plump lips.

"What are you doing?!" Shawn asked with his eyes wide.

Pru sat up quickly, pulled the stick from her lips and held it behind her back.

"Nothing."

Shawn frowned at her, "What's that sizzling from your back then?"

Pru sighed and put the cigarette out, "I had a attack after having a argument with Pangz. It usually stops the pain in my chest...I never smoke the whole thing, I actually hate it but it's just a bad habit."

Shawn held his hands out asking if her if he could sit, she shuffled over to give him some space. Shawn plopped down next to her and balled his knees up to his chest; rested his elbows on his knees. He stared out at the trees in front of him before looking over at Pru who had her eyes closed and face pulled up at the direction of the sun. She looked gorgeous, creamy peach tan skin with a hint of freckles dashed against her nose and her cheeks. Her lips were small but very plump, Shawn stared at her for a minute liking that he saw a bit of a smile dancing on her lips.

Pru opened her eyes, her eyes the color of teal. She looked over at Shawn who didn't hide the fact that he was staring at her, "What are you looking at goof ball?"

Shawn blew out some air from his lips and looked down at his hands, "I don't know, something beautiful."

Pru didn't like the feeling that was starting to creep from the bottom of her stomach. She knew Shawn since they were kids and since then he was always a ladies man. She rolled her eyes at him and softly pushed his shoulder, "Ew, shut up."

Shawn let out a soft laugh and bit his bottom lip before looking back at her, "I'm serious...you don't really know how pretty you are. I mean you are related to Topanga Lawrence."

Pru scowled and shoved her brown bag onto the floor and stood up walking into the pathway, "Oh yes Topanga saint Lawrence. If you think she's so good looking then you should be at the school with her right now instead of here with me!"

Shawn frowned, he didn't understand where this was coming from. Pru and Topanga were inseparable, they were always around each other...they were each others siblings that they never had. (A/N: Did you know that Topanga had a older sister named 'Nebby' but she only appeared in one episode in season 1?)

"Where is this coming from?" Shawn decided to ask.

Pru ran her fingers over her ponytail, "Don't get me wrong, I love Pangerz with everything in me but I'm so sick of being compared to her. I am my own freaking person...I don't need to be just like her. I'm not living to anyones expectations because I'm just a sinner."

Shawn licked his lips and nodded his head, "Okay...go on."

Pru looked up at the sky and looked back down talking with her hands, "You know what it feels like to be controlled to the point where you don't even know who you are? As a kid I was so free-spirited and Topanga was such a sweetie since she came out of the womb for crying out loud! She was pretty with her luscious long dirty blonde hair, she's so smart...she was everything I wasn't. I lived in her shadow for so long then I was ripped away from her because my dad got this new crap job...things went downhill from there. Not only did I lose myself I was forced into believing lies for so long," She started to feel her eyes burn once again, "You know what forget I said anything."

"You always lock stuff in...you know I heard that isn't good thing to do." Shawn said honestly.

Pru glared at him, "Well what do you know, Hunter?" She snapped.

Shawn sighed while standing and walked over to Pru, "I know that I knew you since we were kids. As a kid you were always somewhat quiet but you were always smiling and laughing. I get that your dad sorta screwed you up a little bit but that's what makes you, you. You don't have to live up to Topangas expectations like you said...you're Jewlz. If people don't like you for being you then that's their problem not yours...stop trying to live for other people and live for yourself. I like you because you're not afraid of saying what you feel but you always hide yourself away...sorta like the moon if you think about it."

Pru roughly wiped the tears away from falling and gave off a soft laugh, "You used to call me moon because it made me seem cool."

Shawn laughed, "Yeah, yeah I remember that! I started calling you that because you were always out at night. You came across town just to drag me out of my bed so we could go gaze at the stars and the moon...just so we could forget about our homes lives for a little while," He said that last part quietly.

Pru took a deep breath and took a step towards Shawn and grabbed his hand, she didn't feel danger with her hands in his...she actually felt safe. She squeezed onto his hand and waited for his blueish green eyes to meet hers, "Honestly...I missed you a lot, Hunter."

There was something behind Pru and Shawn's relationship that nobody would be able to understand except them. They grew up with each other until the age of nine, Shawn always had ladies chasing after him and he fell into it since Pru didn't give him a chance. She feared that if they ended up together and broke up she wouldn't have a friend anymore. She needed Shawn...when she couldn't talk to Pangz, which she started to find was a lot at that time she could talk to Shawn.

Shawn gave her a crescent necklace the night she was leaving Philadelphia, "One day we'll end up together and when we do...we'll shine as bright as a full moon."

Pru always remembered that...how could she forget? She still had the crescent...she never got rid of it. Why would she?

Shawn smiled, "I missed you too."

They smiled at each other as they held on to each other's hands standing in the middle of the woods. Wind started to pick up blowing Shawn's stylish dark brown hair back, Pru ran her fingers through his hair and smiled as he closed his eyes before opening them once again.

"Can I ask you a question?" Shawn asked.

Pru crinkled her nose, "You just did."

Shawn scoffed, "Seriously?"

Pru stuck her tongue out before nodding for him to continue.

"Why do you always hesitate or flinch when people touch you?"

Pru wanted to drop his hand right there but he gripped onto hers and tried to catch her eyes. He didn't want her to push herself away like she's learned to do all these years...she was just starting to open herself up to him.

Pru's teal eyes looked anywhere else but at Shawn, "My dad's brother hurt me repeatedly when I thought I could trust him."

Shawn didn't push it, he didn't need to. He felt anger pulsing through his veins but if he wanted to know more she would tell him in time. She ran her fingers over his tighten hold sensing his anger, "Don't worry...he's in the same place as my father. I hope he's rotting, I really hope he is. Pangz, Uncle Jed, Auntie Rhiannon and now you are the only people that know."

Shawn nodded and took a deep breath, "Okay. So when did you start smoking?"

Pru felt like she was getting scolded as Shawn crossed his arms and looked at her.

"It was at a party...my dad's boss was always having parties. There were so many kids my age and they were all cool. They invited me to hang out with them having respect for my dad since my dad was such a well known guy. So we went into the bathrooms, the boss's daughter and son...(twins) Haley and Hayden were rebels and I admired that. I wanted to be just like that so I started acting just like them. That night I watched them smoke and blow it out the window. I decided since I was "in" with them that I should do it too. I never liked it but I knew it just calmed me down and that's the only time I smoke."

Shawn understood...he knew how that felt. Kids around the trailer park were just like that.

"Well I want you to stop...I don't want something happening to you...or whatever." Shawn shrugged it off like he didn't care.

Pru smirked, "Shawn don't get too attached to me now...things could get ugly."

She made her way to grab her bag as Shawn thought about what she just said. What did she mean about that? He was thinking too hard and feeling a headache come on, he decided to ignore it. He turned to Pru who was redoing her ponytail, she even looked cute doing that Shawn thought. She curled her side bangs behind her ears and looked at Shawn waiting for him to say something, she knew it was coming.

"I think that's enough talking for one day, should we get back to school...I'm secretly hoping you say no." Shawn coughed the last part out.

Pru laughed, "Now who would ever pick that option? By the time I get home I know I'm going to get in trouble."

She locked her arms with Shawn's as he stared at her in confusion, "Why?"

Pru smiled, "I set the fire alarm off by accident. I went through the wrong door while I was having the attack, I know they probably caught it on camera so what's the point? Let's just get some lunch and head to the lake or something?"

Shawn smiled back at her, "Sounds like a plan."

And the two pre-teens left the woods together forgetting all about their troubles for now, just like when they were kids.

A/N: How was that? I definitely need to go back and edit the first chapter. I hope you all like the interaction between Pru and Shawn...can you see how different they act with each other oppose to how they normally act? I can smell love in the air! :)
