Summary: The first to say it.
Warnings: none.
Notes: Shannon gets more fun the more I write her.


Ivy was the first to think it: Shannon might expect perfection, but she wouldn't get it.


They broke up when Shannon was too afraid to go to prom.


Carie was the first to say it: "Shan, do you ever think you might be too perfectionistic?"


Carie left after Shannon wouldn't move in with her.


Deborah was the first to demand it: "You can't make me be what you want me to be!"


That conversation--okay, fight--was the end of that relationship.


Serena was the first to ask her: "Why are you so afraid of disappointment?"


They parted friends, after a few months, when their love eased to a stop.


Lora was the first to suggest it: "I think maybe you should talk to somebody, Shannon."


Therapy helped with the overthinking, but she and Lora broke up anyway.


Shannon was the last to say it, to a pretty girl with dimples: "I expect too much, but I swear, I swear I'm working on it."


She and Maggie are still going strong.
