At school, Shawn opened the back door for Alice. "What the...!" people exclaimed. Alice was wearing an all-black leather jacket and trousers. Her black leather boots and black leather cap, along with the spectacles she called "no respect," left people's mouths hanging open at her new look.
"Oh my word, she's now the badass Alice!" May, a lady with bluish hair, whispered to Nyla.
"And the worst part, she's with my guy!" Nyla stressed, seething with rage.
"Put me down, Shawn, we're drawing attention," Alice said as Shawn carried her princess style.
"No, I want everyone to know about us," he whispered. His words made her heart swell with happiness, knowing he was willing to tarnish his popularity for their love.
"As you wish," she sighed. They walked through the stairs, and Alice wondered if he wasn't tired.
"Are you tired?" she asked.
"No, even if I was, I'd never put you down until we enter the class," he declared. She just kept quiet and tightened her hands around his neck.
"You'll be sitting with me from now on," he said, carefully placing her on his seat. He was actually the only one who sat at that angle, so he managed to add another seat. Sitting close to her, he took her hands into his and intertwined their fingers.
"My Alice, no matter what, promise me you'll never leave me, even if I tell you to," he said, his voice earnest.
"Shawn, my love for you is immense. I'll never leave, even if you tell me to," she assured.
"Thank you, Alice... I love you," he said. Then his thumb found her lips, and he brushed them tenderly. He met her gaze and cupped her chin, bringing her face dangerously close to his.
"Would you mind a kiss?" he asked.
"I'm all yours, Shawn," she said, slightly parting her lips for him, and without warning, he delved into her mouth, sucking and nibbling. He began to play tag with her tongue. She kissed him with the same passion as his. His hand was placed carefully at the back of her head to support it from moving. Her hands, on their own, made their way to his shoulders. Soon enough, a soft moan escaped her lips, and her body started reacting on its own. She pressed her body against his as if she would melt into him.
"S-Shawn," she moaned. "I think it's enough, Shawn," she managed a whisper.
"You're right, because I'm also losing it," he said in a husky voice.
"I love you, Shawn," she said, her voice sounding like a seductress.
He pulled her into an embrace, and that was when Nyla came in. She wore her usual outfit: short jeans, a belly-baring off-shoulder top, and white canvas shoes, which at least helped her look somewhat human. She had a short nose and blemish spots.
"Hey, Shawn," Nyla managed to keep her cool. Shawn's aura immediately changed into a cold one.
"What?" he sneered.
"What are you doing with her?" she said, pointing to Alice and giving her a fierce glare. Alice didn't have time to spare her even a glance.
"Watch your tongue, you ugly skunk!" he hissed.
"Oops," Alice mocked playfully. Nyla was left speechless.
"Babe, let's leave before we get infected with a virus," Shawn said, standing with Alice still in his embrace.
"Princess or piggy?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Uhm... princess," Alice said like a child behaving naughtily. And without warning, she was lifted and carried princess style as they left.
