EMMA'S P.O.V.

I ran back into my bedroom and couldn't stop smiling. I can't believe he actually wants to hang out with me!

I take one last look in the mirror to make sure that my hair and makeup look okay and then grab my phone and wallet and walk down the stairs. I grab my keys and walk out the door onto my front porch where I see Shawn standing looking at his feet with his hands in his pockets.

Damn. He's attractive.

He looks up, smiles, and says "Hey Emma, ready to go?"

"Hey, yeah I'm ready, I just need to lock up," I say.

I turn around and lock the door and feel his eyes burning into my back.

Is he checking me out?😏

I turn around and ask "Is Tim's far from here? We could take my car if you want."

"It's just up the road, only like a 5 or 10 minute walk. I don't think we need to drive," Shawn said.

"Oh, okay."

We start walking down the driveway and onto the sidewalk when Shawn said "So, tell me about yourself. I want to know more about you."

"Okay, well what do you want to know?" I ask.

"I don't know, anything that comes to mind."

"Okay, well I moved here from Alberta. I was born there and was homeschooled up until grade 9 when I started high school. Since I was homeschooled I wasn't very good at making friends. I only had two. They were always there for me and stood up for me when I was in grade 9 and 10 because I was bullied. My brother Cameron also helped but he was usually busy with school and his career. Uhh, I like to sing as you already know, and I play guitar. I'm also really into song writing... and yeah, that's about it," I say while shrugging my shoulders.

"R-really? You were bullied? Why would anyone want to be mean to you? I know I haven't known you for very long but you're one of the nicest people I know. Not to mention you're beautiful," Shawn said.

"Um, thanks, and I don't know actually." I said

"No problem," Shawn said while flashing me his award winning smile.

We were in the parking lot of Tim Hortons an we were about to step up onto the curb when me being my clumsy self, tripped. I put my hands out to catch myself when I felt hands secure around my waist. I looked up to see that Shawn caught me in his arms.

"Watch your step" Shawn said and chuckled as he helped me regain my balance.

I blushed and looked down. My face was probably as red as a tomato.

"Well that was embarrassing" I said with a nervous laugh.

Shawn just stood there and chuckled.

I realized that he still had his arms around his waist and was now looking into my eyes.

I never noticed before but he has really nice eyes. And a lazy eye which is actually really cute.

"Thanks" Shawn said.

"What? Wait.. Did I say that out loud?" I asked.

"Haha yeah. We should probably go inside now. We've been standing out here for like 5 minutes."

"Yeah, okay," I laughed.

We walked inside and I couldn't help but notice that he still had his hand around my waist.

We went up and ordered. I got a chocolate chip muffin and an ice capp and Shawn got a blueberry muffin and an ice capp.

We both payed, got our food and sat down at a table.

We sat in a comfortable silence for a little bit until Shawn said "So what school are you going to now?"

"Valley View High I think? I don't know, something like that," I said.

"Oh, cool. I go there too. Are you starting Monday?" Shawn asked.

"Yeah, I'm kind of nervous though. The year is almost over and it's going to be hard to make friends," I say nervously.

"But I'm your friend," Shawn says with a cheeky grin. "And I can introduce you to my friend group if you'd like. We're going to the beach tomorrow if you want to come," Shawn says and takes another bite of his muffin.

"Yeah sure, I'd love to," I say and smile.

"Great! Do you want to head back now?" Shawn asks.

I nod and throw away my garbage and walk out the door with Shawn following closely behind me.

We walked up to the curb and Shawn said "Don't trip now," and laughed.

"I'll try my best," I say and give him a playful glare.

We walk up to my porch and say our goodbyes. Shawn leans in for a hug and I get butterflies in my stomach. We step away and I start to walk in when Shawn stops me. I turn around with a confused look on my face.

"Can I- um- get your number?" Shawn asks me with a nervous look on his face.

"Yeah, of course," I take his phone and put my number in. I put my contact name as "Emma❤️😘 aka muffin buddy".

Shawn looks at the contact and chuckles "muffin buddy? Really?"

"I like muffins. You like muffins. So we're muffin buddies."

"Alright then," Shawn laughs "I'll text you later."

"Okay, bye Shawn."

"Bye Emma," Shawn says and smiles.

I close the door and walk up to my room with a smile plastered on my face. Today was a good day.

Thank you for reading what there is of my story so far. I appreciate every single one of you❤️

I'll be updating every couple days or maybe even every day depending on how busy I am.

ALSO PLEASE READ BELOW!!!!
I was wondering if I should start to put in Shawn's POV. I was wondering if that'd be something you'd want to read maybe?
For the next chapter I could do his POV for part of what happened in this chapter and continue on from there.

If that's something you'd want to read them comment/vote and I'll do my best:)

Thanks for reading❤️
