Best Friend (Shawn Mendes)

8

After I walk past Cam, I go to the very edge of the pool and sit down. Most of the boys are swimming in the middle part so I'm pretty much a loner.

I move my feet through the water and look at the lights in the water that shine so bright in the dark. I hear sloshing and see Shawn making his way to me, leaving the middle part of the pool.

I smile and wait for him to reach me.

"Cameron's girlfriend is a rude bitch," I say and he laughs.

He swims right next to me and grabs onto the wall by my thighs.

"What she say?" He asks.

"Uhm who are you?" I say in the most high pitched annoying voice ever.

He laughs so hard I start laughing.

"Yeah she isn't the... cleanest," he says and I laugh even more.

He glances into my eyes, "come swim," he says and pushes off the wall, floating on his back.

I shake my head no, seeing Jessica just got in as well. I point to her, and Shawn looks.

"Come on, she won't talk to you most likely," he says swimming back over to me.

I sigh, "your lucky the pool is heated," I say and slide in.

I don't touch the ground because if I did, my whole face would be under. I push myself off and swim to the middle, where everyone is.

I see Cameron and Jessica, Nash, Aaron, Matt, Taylor, and Jack Gilinsky. Then Shawn and I of course.

I swim by the edge and start to join a few boys in catch. Matt throws the small, airsoft ball to me and I get splashed in the face.

I laugh and wipe off my face. Jack G stands next to me and leans in a little as I throw the ball to Taylor.

"You meet Jess?" He asks.

I roll my eyes and look at him, "yes I have. She's a bitch," I say.

He laughs a little as the ball goes to Shawn.

"Thought you two wouldn't get along. She's only with Cameron for the sex I'm sure of it."

I almost choke when I think of Cameron Dallas and sex. Wow. To cover up my awkwardness, I laugh as the ball comes back to me.

"I'm gonna go swim in the deep end," I say and underhand toss it to Jack.

I clap my hands together and dive under, swimming between Shawn and Taylor to the 6 foot.

I go up for a breath, then back under, swimming all the way down. I pull myself out and make my way to my chair, checking the time. It's 9:57 pm.

I turn my head towards everyone, no one really notices me so I grab my towel and belongings and head inside. My hair drips on the floor but I don't really care.

I wrap my towel under my arms and grab some food from the fridge. This big old house seems creepy when it's empty. Even though everyone is right outside.

I open my Yoplait, and jump when I hear a knock at the door. My towel falls off but I let it. The door knocks again and I sigh, and slide off my flip flops and walk barefoot across the cold tiles.

I look out the peeper hole and almost fall on the ground. He's tall, brunette, and is about the most gorgeous boy I've ever seen. He has that cliché boy haircut where the sides are short but it's long on top. It's perfect.

Shit I forgot to open the door. I open it and it's just the me and him. Man I feel short now. He looks about 6 inches taller than me. I feel little water drops fall on my back from my hair.
