Best Friend (Shawn Mendes)

12

The boy from earlier. The cute boy is seeing me without makeup and without clothes. Shit shit shit. I already feel my cheeks heating up, but I smile anyways.

"You live in my neighborhood?" He asks in this really cute perfect voice.

I smile like an idiot I'm sure, "no no, my friends here live there. We're just visiting," I say and point to Shawn whose now standing right next to me.

The boy looks at Shawn, then me again. "Is this your boyfriend?" He asks closing his lips but still smiling.

"No. This is Shawn Mendes. I'm Ally," I say.

The wind blows my hair a bit more but I just can't take my eyes off this boy. He looks at Shawn wide eyed.

"You're Shawn Mendes? You look so different in person, man!" He says.

Shawn laughs behind me, "yeah yeah haha. You look familiar too.. What's your name, kid?" He asks.

The boy smiles and looks at the water behind me, "I'm Christian." he says.

So that's this boys name. The mysterious boy has a name.

"Nice to meet you, Shawn Mendes. And Ally- see you around?" He says.

I smile more, "yeah I'll see you," I say and he walks back to wherever he came from. Shit, I just had a conversation with him! Oh my gosh!!!

I turn and face Shawn with my face still a little shocked.

"That's Christian Leave," he says obviously digging in his brain for that boys name.

I laugh a little, "that's his name?" I ask. No offense to Christian Leave or anything.

"No, that's his vine name. He's like a famous viner, we all follow him and shit. His real name is Christian Akridge," he says.

"Oh. Well he lives in the neighborhood I guess," I say, shifting my foot in the sand.

Shawn's facial expression goes serious, "how do you know- how does he know you?" He asks.

I laugh and look at the sand, "we made eye contact when I went on that walk earlier," I say then look up and give him a reassuring smile.

"Glad you guys know each other. But let's go swim," I say.

After about 30 minutes of straight swimming, I get out along with Cameron, Shawn and Jack J. I go to my towel and dry off, then put my hair in a messy bun. I put back on my flip flops and lay my towel down, then lie on it.

I hear someone sit on the sand next to me; it's Cameron. I glance at him, look him in the eyes, then turn my head away.

"Won't your girlfriend get bored?" I say rudely.

He chuckles, "I can tell you have mighty tension between her, Ally," he says quietly.

I prop up on my elbows and look at him wide eyed, "well duh! She's a stupid tumblr girl who thinks the whole world revolves around her because she's dating Cameron Dallas!" I say hotly.

He raises his eyebrows and smirks, "she talks about you a lot. Bad shit too," he says.

I scoff and turn towards the beach and scan for Jessica. She's chatting it up with Taylor.

"She's probably jello," I say.

"Jello?" Cam questions.

"Jello," I say. "I just don't like her that much is all. I don't know why she has to talk shit about me but it's whatever," I say and look over at him.
