FORBIDDEN

 "So let me get this straight, you got asked to prom by Shawn and you don't want to go?" Lisa asked for the thousandth time that evening.We had begun our homework after having a quick lunch. She was sleeping over although it's a school night. Her parents weren't exactly a happy couple, they always fought and Lisa would come over to avoid the drama.     She kept on distracting me even though I had a math homework that was killing me. I hated math, sure I always aced it but it didn't mean I enjoyed it. I looked up to her and twirled my pencil."Yes Lisa, Shawn is a jerk, I don't want to have anything to do with him." I looked down at the work I was doing and realized I'd gotten the answer, I squeaked in excitement. "Besides, this could all be a plan to humiliate me again. It wouldn't be the first time. And I sure as hell don't want to be any source of entertainment.""Okay, if you're sure. But I don't think your si

 I carefully parked my car and got out. I hadn’t seen her up close for a while. I couldn’t remember the last time I said a word to her, could be months really. It would sound crazy to someone if I told them, seeing that we lived in the same house and attended the same school.   I looked at my sister, although she’s 19, she didn’t look a day over 15. She still had her small frame, and beautiful face. Her hair was parted at the center and fell straight past her breast almost reaching her waist. Mine was longer though, although it was wavy.    I really wasn’t in the mood for the conversation we were about to have but alas, there’s no avoiding her. I finally walked up to her and stood in front of her. She eyed my entire body and tried to look intimidating.       If I was still 15, it probably would have worked, but my 17 years prepared me for this moment.     I

"Well, shall we?" He smiled sweetly at me, his dimples showing from the light that touched his face. "Yeah sure. Let's go." He led me to the car and opened the passenger door for me and helped me in. He went round the car and sat in the drivers seat. He buckled his seatbelt, I mirrored his action"You see? I'm such a gentleman." He was clearly teasing me."You do not even qualify for the G" I scoffed an he chuckled. We sat in silence for a few minutes"You look beautiful. I'm sorry I didn't say it earlier. I couldn't find my words." He took my hand from my lap and gave it an unsure squeeze. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want him to find out I've never been this close with a guy before. Plus, no boy had ever said I was beautiful before. This was becoming awkward as he awaited my reply"Uh thanks. You don't look so bad yourself." I managed to blurt the words out. I looked at the hand he was holding. I wanted to squeeze it too but I removed

SHAWN'S POV:It was beautiful. Her laugh, it was exquisite and just the thing I've been missing. After the date we had that night, life became much more bearable. It was the the first time I didn't feel weird being seen with a girl. We held hands on our way from classes we had together, I sat at her table for lunch, she insisted she wasn't ready for my circle and honestly I'd rather have her all to myself everyday. We stole kisses every chance we got and soon everyone found out we were a thing.    She couldn't get used to the attention she was getting as she's used to the shadows. To make matters worse, her sister was part of the crowd that spoke ill of her. But above all that, whenever I look at June, i wondered how i got to be so lucky.        She was everything and more than I could dream of. The way she walked, how she furrowed her brows when she's trying to think of something, how she b
