Wow, this kiss was a lot better than the first. Was it possible that he had gotten better?
Before I could answer the question in my mind, I felt a small tap on my shoulder. Both Shane and me pulled apart and turned around, only to find Sam looking at us.
She didn’t look happy.
“Shane, we have a date, remember?!”
Shane looked down at me momentarily then back at Sam. After some kind of weird eye communication that went on between them, he finally slipped his hands away from my waist, where they had been the whole time that we had been making out, and he headed over to Sam.
WHAT?
“Um, Shane…”
Both him and Sam gave me one last glance before heading the opposite direction of me. I was left behind in the suddenly dark school hallways as a familiar tune began to fill the walls..

“I feel so untouched
and I want you so much
That I just can’t resist you,
It’s not enough to say that I miss you…”
I opened my eyes to the beaming sun that was now coming down on me through my car’s rooftop.
Oh shut up Veronicas…
As I shut off the radio in the back, I grabbed my purse from the floor and began to rummage in my purse for my shades.
What time was it anyway??
I took my cell phone out of my purse as I laid it back down on the floor and slipped my shades on.
7:25
Good, I’d have just enough time to compose myself.
It was Monday morning and I was on my way to school. I had promised myself that I was not going to let the surprising news that Sam had spilled to me yesterday get to me, and this stupid little dream meant nothing.
After all, this is what Shane had wanted all along. He had it all planned out from the start, just like I had predicted. He had gotten Sam to fall for him, and now even I-
Wait.
Stop this Amanda.
There is NO WAY you like this jackass.
You were just caught up in the moment, had too much beers, that’s all.
I nodded, reassuring myself as my car entered the curve to the entrance of the school.
Ok Amanda, breathe in. Breathe out.
The second we had arrived at the dropping off area, a familiar black head turned to look in the direction of my car, and automatically I felt a lot better.
At least my kiss with Shane had been private. No one had heard about it, and that’s how I planned to keep it now under the new circumstances. Riley’s huge crush over Shane, however, was as obvious as ever, and I was going to take much pleasure in seeing her stupid little face when she found out about Sam & him.
I made sure to wear my biggest grin ever as I hopped out of the car and shut the door behind me.
Riley looked my way once, looked around agitatedly, then sighed before she made her way over to my side.
I was now making my way up the stairs so she had to keep up with me moving.
“Yes Riley?”
She cringed at the sound of her name coming out of my mouth, and even I felt a burn in my tongue as I said it.
Again, she just looked around. What was she looking for anyway?
We now had entered the building and were making our ways to the lockers. I sighed as I slipped off the shades, but made sure to keep my attention focused on the hallways in front of me.
“Look Riley, I really don’t have the time for this. I mean, it’s bad enough that people are actually seeing us talking, but you’re also making a complete idiot of yourself, so please, just make your statement and go.”
That did it.
I saw a new look in Riley’s eyes, and it she definitely didn't look timid anymore.
“Look Paris Hilton, I am not in the mood for your crap either ok. I was just going to ask you where Shane was, ok?”
She said the ‘ok’ part in a very poor imitation of me and I couldn’t help but smirk.
“Look Kelly Osbourne, I have no freakin idea where your stupid boyfriend is, ok?! So why don’t you go crawl back into that hole that you came out of, and I don’t know, never get out. Trust me, Shane won’t even notice you’re gone now.”
I grinned as I turned the corner, now only a few seconds from my locker and a texting Sam.
After Sunday, I was sort of still feeling weird around her. I mean sure she was completely clueless to the situation that Shane and me had gone through Friday night, but still, it felt like I owed her an explanation. What kind of friend would I be if I let her go out with a guy who, not even three days earlier, had been kissing her best friend? I hated the conclusion I came up with, but I decided that I’d give him one day. If he didn’t tell her what happened between us, I would. For some weird reason I really hoped that it would be enough to make Sam never want to talk to the jerk again. But then what?
