Best Friend (Shawn Mendes)

15

"Hey sorry I used your shower because the other one was a mess," he calls out knocking me out of my thoughts.

"O-okay. You still up for that ride?" I ask and close my door and step over by my drawer.

He comes out of the bathroom and stops in front of me, "yeah. There's some light I guess," he says with a laugh.

I open a drawer and pull out some light was ripped jeans and pull a black Aeropostale hoodie. I grab some underwear and my bra and walk past Shawn in the bathroom.

"Be out in a minute," I say with a smile and shut the door.

I change into everything and put my hair in a really tangled messy bun, because I'm not going to be able to get a comb through his ocean hair. I wash my face with cold water and put on some mascara then walk out to Shawn laying on my bed.

"Get up loser lets go," I say and walk past him.

He gets up and I notice he still doesn't have a shirt on- he must be going like that.

I lead him to the hallway and he taps my shoulder to tell me to go in his room, so I just sit on the comfy untouched bed. He walks to his closet and pulls out a Black and tan SnapBack and puts that on.

I smile at how good he looks, "can we go before 11 please?"

He chuckles and grabs my hand, pulling me out into the hallway and down the stairs. He lets go as we reach the closet in the living room. Why a closet?

Once it's open I see about 12 penny boards in all colors. Damn these boys have boards. Shawn puts his hand out.

"You can have the first pick," he says and I smile at him.

I grab a plain white one with red wheels and Shawn gets a yellow one with black wheels.

"Where you going Ally?" I hear Jack J ask from the table. He's eating cereal with Sammy. I see and hear a few boys in the back at the pool.

I look at Johnson as Shawn closes the closet door.

"On a ride. We'll be right back don't worry," I say.

Shawn grabs my wrist and I walk out smiling at him. It's dark but warm outside, though it's not too hot for my hoodie. We both stand at the end of the driveway and look both ways.

"Cam told me there's a paved trail down there," he says and points in the direction of where I went on a walk.

"It's probably too dark," I say and try to remember seeing a trail, but don't.

"No, it's fine. We can go for a few minutes," he says and lays down his board and rides.

***

About 3 minutes into the trail, we decide to go back. We roll along until we reach the sidewalk again and my heart starts beating as I see Christian walking to his car. Shit shit shit.

I push my foot along and follow Shawn on the sidewalk and hope Christian doesn't see me.

"Hey Ally, that you?!" He calls out.

Right when he says that, we are riding through his driveway. I stop and pull up my board. Shawn keeps going hallway into the next yard before he realizes I stopped.

I walk so I'm about ten feet away from the boy and I just smile.

"Hi," I say stupidly.

He slightly laughs and puts his head down then back up. "What're you up to tonight?" He asks.

I lift up my board, "we got back from the beach and me and Shawn wanted to go for a little adventure," I state.

His eyes go blank and he points to Shawn whose standing at the edge of the driveway. "Are you two like a thing?" He asks.
