Ten ➵ Both

ShawnI couldn't stop thinking about Jasmine all morning! I had to see her, but her dad. I guess he didn't exactly want me inside her house. Or any boys of that matter. Since I was tempted to, I decided to just head to the Matthew's place before school started. I climbed up the tree, and sneaked through his window. Luckily he just got out of the bathroom. He saw me right away, and formed his usual, cheesy like smile."Hunter!" He greeted me. He slipped on his bright yellow sweatshirt, and I couldn't help but think how different our outfits were from each other. I was wearing one of my dark green unbuttoned shirt over my white short sleeved shirt. I had my dark grey pants with it, as well as my black boots. "So, tell me how your date with Jasmine was." Cory insisted, sitting on the edge of his bed."At my place? It turned out pretty good..." I responded, my voice trailing off as I was thinking about yesterday."What happened?" Cory asked, noticing how my voice trailed off like that."Well, it's just she's different you know? I actually have feelings for her I never developed compared to the other girls I liked. It feels good. And plus, by the way she says things to me.. I feel as if we have this connection." I detailed to him. It was the truth. "Really? That makes me happy Shawn." Cory said, happy for me. "Yeah, now I feel like as if I have whatever you and Topanga have." I confessed to him. Cory seemed confused at first, but let's face it: we couldn't deny it. He loves Topanga. He just won't tell anyone else except me."What do you mean by that?" He wondered."Meaning that connection. You and Topanga connect so well. Especially by what you've told me. I mean, I feel the same way with Jasmine. I don't know why, I just do." I answered, shrugging. "Maybe you'll find out why." Cory predicted."Maybe."

JasmineAs I was getting ready, I remembered something that was a part of me. My guitar. I usually had my guitar to speak to. I would just pick it up, and start strumming it as if it was the only available thing to connect with. I wrote some songs; some were very personal. I also sang too.Lots of the music teachers I've had said I was a great singer. They said I could start a career at it. But thing is, it was hard to even begin a career. When I slipped on my skirt and pulled my shirt on over it, my back was in pain still. I tried to stand tall, pretending last night never happened. I put on my white socks, as well as my light tan combat boots. I realized all I needed was my book bag, and I was ready. :::When I headed into the school, I tried to appear happy the best as I could be. Right away, I saw Topanga, who caught sight of me as well."Hey Jasmine! How was yours and Shawn's hangout yesterday?" She asked me, smirking."It was great." I said, trying to remain smiling the best I could be. I couldn't tell anyone about last night. Or about my secret in particular. "So... Anything else happen?" Topanga asked me. "We kissed and watched a movie together." I gossiped with her, laughing a little and she did the same."I'm so happy for you! So I was wondering if you maybe wanted to have a sleepover at my house tonight? Then maybe tomorrow you could hang out with Shawn or whatever?""Sure, I'd like to." I said, smiling. I never expected to have a friend when I first got here, nor a boyfriend."Sweet! I already asked my parents, and they said yes. Would your dad be okay with it?" Topanga wondered."Yes." I said instantly, acting a little bit nervous. This would be my first, actual sleepover. Speaking of Shawn, him and Cory showed up heading to us."Hey Topanga. Hey Jasmine." Cory greeted us. Shawn greeted me with a quick kiss. "Did you guys enjoy talking about us?" Shawn teased, as he was getting a hold of my waist. "Yeah, totally." I responded sarcastically. Shawn just smirked."Come on, I know you did." Shawn teased. I just smirked and kissed him on the lips. He pulled away, and Cory asked us what Topanga and I were planning."Oh, we are planning on having a sleepover. That's all." Topanga responded for the both of us. Shawn and Cory both smirked."I see." Shawn said, glancing over at Cory who looked back at him.Those two were up to something. I just knew it.

Shawn"How about we sneak in through the girl's window to check on them tonight?" I suggested to Cory as we were eating our lunch. Luckily Topanga and Jasmine were sitting somewhere else, so they wouldn't know our plan."I don't know Shawn..." Cory admitted, revealing his normal, good guy quality. "No, no, no. It's just a check up to see how they are. Just say hi, and then we'll leave." I told him. Cory just looked at me, sighed."Alright." Cory agreed to it.

JasmineWhen it was lunch time, I sat with Topanga instead of Shawn and Cory. I never met any of Topanga's other friends,honestly hoped they would like me. "Hey so are you Jasmine?" One of them asked. She had black hair out into a ponytail, and was smacking her lips as she chewed her bubblegum. "Yes." I said, kind of shy at first. "Cool, I'm Trinie." She introduced herself, blowing a bubble then popping it, going back to chewing her gum. There was another girl, who had red hair with black rimmed glasses. Her name was Dawn. "So are you in a relationship with the Shawn Hunter?" Trinie asked me. Before I could respond, someone covers my eyes."I'd like to think so myself." I heard a familiar voice answered. Shawn. "There's your answer." I stated, and Shawn just kissed me on the side of my temple. He then pulled a chair next to me, and for Cory, he pulled up a chair next to Topanga. I wasn't expecting to even have friends, and it shocked me enough that I have five friends- one of them being my boyfriend included! I was happy, and relieved. I wasn't going to be the one person having to eat lunch alone like I always did, and have someone to talk to.:::After school was over, I went over to my place to grab my stuff. I decided to not tell my dad, and just sneak out the front door as best as I could. Luckily I didn't get caught. I walked to Topanga's house, remembering the directions she gave me to her place. Once I arrived, I knocked on the door, nervous at first. The door opened, revealing a very excited Topanga."Hey there Jas!" She opened her arms out for me to hug her, and I did so. We pulled away, and headed inside. I took a look around her house, thinking how appealing it looked. There was a fireplace, a flat screen tv, a luxurious looking couch, and bei white colored walls. There was a staircase, and I guessed that upstairs was where Topanga's bedroom was. "Come on, my bedroom is this way." Topanga insisted, taking my hand and leading me to her room. When we gotten to her room, I couldn't help but feel a little envious. She had a nice bedroom, obviously treated well. It was painted a light purple, and had a master bed with comfortable looking covers. For mine, my walls had holes in it from me being slammed into it due to my dad's outraging marathons, only a queen sized bed, with only plain white sheets and my favorite blue, soft blanket.  "Well, welcome to my room obviously." Topanga says, making a gesture that showed her entire room. I nodded, coming across a picture of her, Cory, and Shawn. I went to it, taking it and observing the picture. Cory was in the middle of them, his arms wrapped around his friend's shoulders. They look so happy. I never had that growing up... "This is a cool picture." I said to her, continuing to stare at it for long periods of time. "Yeah, I remember that day." Topanga recalled, smiling. I just tried to smile, although on the inside I felt a little emotional.  "Anyways, wanna have a make over?" Topanga asked me. "Sure, I guess." I answered. She led me to a chair, and I sat in it. "Let me go get my makeup." She decided, and I just nodded. I waited patiently up here until she finally came back with a makeup case. She pulled out some eyeshadow, lips gloss, mascara, and eye liner. "Hmm.. Before I do this, I realize It's missing one thing though." Topanga says, biting her lip thinking. Then she grinned."I see." She went to her closet door and got out a white dress, that was a little short but cute. It was actually my style."Put this on." She insisted. Oh crap."Um, okay. Where's the bathroom?" "Oh yeah- here." She led me to the bathroom, and I shut the door from behind me, locking it. As I took my outfit off, I glanced at the mirror. I had bruises all around my stomach, my chest, my arms, and even my back empirically. No one couldn't find out about this.I didn't wanna look at myself anymore, so I decided to quickly put on the dress, and took my outfit. I went back to Topanga's bedroom, and shoved my clothes in my bag."Aww, you look so cute in that." Topanga complimented me. "Thank you." I said, heading back to the chair."Alright, now let me just do your make up here...." :::After she was done applying makeup on me, she smiled. "I love this look! Look in the mirror." She insisted, and she pulled out a mini mirror with the holder. I did, and I was in awe.I actually look.... Beautiful. And feel like it too. I never did so before in my life. It felt good to feel this way, since I always felt insecure about my looks. Suddenly, Topanga started to mess with my hair. I allowed her to do so, which I was glad she did. She turned it into a waterfall braid! She did the front of my hair to wear it showed my bangs, with it both parted to the side. I turned around, happy."Aww thanks Topanga! You did great." I responded, and hugged her. I did hers too, and decided to let her hair down. She didn't feel like changing into clothes, so I let her be.Just then, there was a tapping noise at her window, and I jumped, a little frightened. "Ugh. Really." Topanga was annoyed. She went to her window, revealing Shawn and Cory."Shawn and Cory at your service." Shawn stated, grinning. I couldn't help but smile at Shawn's silliness."Now, let us in." Cory insisted, both of them trying to find a way in, but Topanga stopped them."Cause we are idiots but you should let us in here anyway cause at least we tried?" Cory answered, and Topanga just rolled her eyes, then looked at me."What do you say Jasmine?""Well, um, I say let them in. They won't do much." I insisted. Topanga smirked, then looked back at them."Alright, come in." Topanga decided, and they both went in here. Shawn went to me right away, and once he caught a glance at me, he was in awe."You look absolutely gorgeous Jasmine,"Shawn complimented me, making me blush,"what are you guys doing anyway? Makeovers?" "Yes. You interrupted us." Topanga pointed out, and they nervously smiled. "Oops." Cory said."My bad," Shawn shrugged and just turned his attention back to me,"you having a good time so far?" I nodded in response, and he just leaned into kiss me. I kissed him back, until a voice from downstairs said dinner was ready. "Get out you two!" Topanga insisted, and before Shawn left, he grabbed a hold of my hand."wanna hang out tomorrow?" He asked me. "Of course. I'd like that a lot." I answered."Good. Meet me at Chubbie's around 2:00, okay?" Shawn planned."Alright." I promised him, and I kissed him goodbye. Then following after Cory, the two had bailed. Once Topanga shut the window closed, we both looked at each other with a smirk."Idiots." :::We came downstairs to eat dinner, which was pizza. I got to know the whole Lawrence family, which was her mom, dad, and her older sister Nebbie. Short for Nebula I think. "What grade are you in sweetheart?" Topanga's mom asked."Same as Topanga's." I said to her. She smiled. "That's great! Are you into school like Topanga?""Yes. I'm highly devoted into my school work. As a matter of fact, I'm trying to get into a singing or writhing school. I love to sing, and have a thing for writing." I explained to them. They just nodded."Well that's cool! You should sing for us sometime." Her mom insisted. I smiled, happy they actually wanted me to sing. :::After dinner was over, we wiped up all of our makeup and changed into our pajamas. We sat up talking about Cory and Shawn. Especially Shawn."He's the right one for you Jasmine. I promise you that." She said, which took me by surprise."Why do you say that? Everyone keeps telling me that." I replied, hugging into my pillow."Well for one: he treats you differently than other girls. You see the way he teases me. Plus, he loves girls in general. He always plays with them. Usually to Shawn they are into this one night stand. But with you, he seems willing to keep this as a steady and a stable relationship." Topanga explained, and I furrowed an eyebrow."You don't think he'll cheat on me, do you?" I whispered. "He won't. If he does, I'll rip that leather jacket of his to shreds and throw him in the dumpster." Topanga joked, and I just smiled at her defensiveness. After we had gotten tired from all the talking and gossiping from each other, we both fell asleep in the bed. I couldn't sleep that night though. My mind was lingering on Shawn. Seeing his handsome, face smiling, and us spending time together in different ways. I smiled at the thought, and eventfully fell asleep, dreaming of Shawn.❤︎
