Today's Regrets - Lonely Dreamer x Shinji

Her first post


She hated physics, oh did she hate the confusing, convolted, hedious problems that made up her physics homework, that made up this class a torment each day, and right before her free period too. It was a good thing Lily was so disinclined to ditch, to skip out on class, otherwise her attendance record might have taken a plunge. But then it was her senior year and she had a great track record with the school so far, no point in messing that up now. It still didn't put the brown haired female in any better of a mood as she closed her textbook and slipped her notebook, pen and calculator into her purse, her textbook in her arms as she stood. At least it was over, for now, for a weekend. But she still had ten problems to finish. Unfortunately. The upside was that she still had ninety minutes until school was over and Rayla would be ready to go. If she wasn't responsible for driving her then Lily might just leave early but her younger sister didn't deserve to be ditched. So with a soft sigh she slipped down her sunglasses as she strode out into the sunlight, heading toward the drama classroom as she considered the last problem she had been working over, what was the distance formula again? Wait, no that wasn't the right one she needed the one for sound displacement and then centripal movement...

Her light brown hair was caught back from her face in a braid, but wisps of her silky hair escaped from it, framing her softly golden face, giving her a mused appearance most of the time, but she had given up on getting her hair to behave. Lily's white high heels clicked smartly over the pavement, with her slight height she enjoyed wearing heels to make up for being only 5''5, although she had very generous curves and an ample chest, both of which were currently covered in a soft spring green and white sundress, worn due to the extreme heat the city always had in the end of summer and start of fall. One slender hand tugged on the door to the drama room, she was looking forward to sinking onto one of the couchs in the room and perhaps dozing for the next hour or so when she became aware that she couldn't smell Mrs. Muir's distinctive perfume, was she not here?

Her glasses went back up on top of her head, revealing exotically shaped eyes of a soft smoky green gray color, the eyes of a dreamer, and they swept the room in confusion only to widen in shock when they alighted upon the form of her ex best friends older brother. Him. Pink swept her cheeks and she turned on her heel, pushing at the door to open with her heart pounding.

Having a little sister who was only two years younger than you was beginning to become a pain even for him. The person who was voted “Most Attractive” of his high school class, “Most likely” and was tied to have the title “Most Athletic “ with the captain of the track team. All these titles meant nothing to him; Shawn wasn’t that type of person where he’ll use his own status/ title to be little someone, because well quite frankly, people will lose sleep over something like this trivial title. “Most attractive” or “Most likely” it was because of the title that at the time when Shawn was still in high school where all the girls, at least the one that care about their status would drop down to their knees and treat him like a celebrity.

Still, having all these titles under your belt doesn’t necessarily make you a better man than someone else. Shawn was always a humble person. If only his sister would be that way. To her, titles, status, power, meant everything to her. She even let go a wonderful friend just because she had feelings for her older brother. Though Shawn said he won’t speak to her if she went through with it, it didn’t stop her from asking all the annoying questions that a younger sibling would have. “How’s college like?” or “Did you went to a frat party and did all those ‘manly’ things”…Shawn dreaded the day her sister was born. He was two, but he remembered that even back then she was still annoying. He didn’t really remember everything, but he remembered that she would follow him around, wherever he went. That’s just plain annoying.

Now that spring break arrived, Shawn decided to visit the old high school which he was so popular in. In truth, Shawn was just being himself, he worked hard at everything he did, and didn’t let the frame go to his head, like a certain person he knew, mainly his sister. Being known as his sister, gave her instant frame. And well, Shawn didn’t like what his mother been telling him about how she been behaving ever since he left for college.

College life was exactly what he had pictured it would be, titles doesn’t mean anything in college, unless of course you’re in a frat or sorority. He was enjoying the peaceful time he had by himself. He wasn’t as popular, but he quickly made some friends, now these friends weren’t the ones he had back in high school, for one, they actually had a brain, and had plans for their future. Anyways, back to the present time. Shawn was in the drama room, the principle had told him when he got the visitors pass, that the drama room had been renovated since he was last here, and it only had been two years, and that he should check it out.

Well, there was no time like the present, he had only been back a day, and the first thing he did was went to check up on his high school. That was kind of lame, but he did it regardless if his old friends were going to go with him. He ended up going by himself. Now as he stood on stage, in the drama room he looked around. It certainly looked better than the old crumbling look it use to have when he was here. He shrugged and saw that no one was around; he began doing push-ups right in the middle of the stage. He then heard the door open. He pushed himself back up and looked over to see who it was. He waved his hand, “Hi…” then realizing who it was his voice slowly became silent. It was the girl that had a crush on him, that was two years younger than him had just entered the room and was now leaving.

A rush of thoughts exploded in his mind, what should he do? With his heart now pounding at his chest. He felt it was time to settle this once and for all. Why should there be an awkward feeling between them? Just because she likes him doesn't mean he can't talk to her, just because his sister aren't friends with her doesn't make it that he can't be friends with her. Shawn quickly jogged down to where she was. "Hey...you have a minute?" said Shawn.
