The New Girl // Shawn Mendes FanFiction

Ch.5// The "Date" (pt. 1)

*The next day*
~~~~~~~~~~
EMMA'S P.O.V.
~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up on Sunday morning from my phone buzzing. I look over to my nightstand and smile when I see that I have a text from Shawn. I unlock my phone and open my messages

Shawnie🙈 - Morning beautiful :) It's kinda rainy so it's probably not a good idea to go to the beach. Do you maybe wanna come over and watch Netflix and stuff?

Emma - Good morning :) and yeah, I'll be over in a bit 🙈

Shawnie🙈 - Kk see you then:)

I get out of bed and stretch. I grab a towel and go into the bathroom to shower.

(Skip shower bc you all know what people do in the shower)

I dry off and choose out a white v-neck tshirt and some baggy sweatpants. I dry my hair and put it into a messy bun because I'm too lazy to spend time on it. I don't put on any makeup because, eh, I don't know, I don't really feel like it.

I grab my phone and walk downstairs to eat breakfast. As I'm about to walk in the kitchen I hear my parents arguing. I try to listen in on their conversation but the sound is too muffled to hear anything. All I know is that they sound pretty angry and their voices are raised.

I shuffle towards the kitchen in hopes to find out what they're arguing about but I accidentally trip over a pair of shoes and land on the floor with a loud thud.

With that I look up to see my dad storm out the front door and my mom coming over to me to see if I'm okay. I tell her I'm fine and that I'm going to go to Shawn's house.

She looked pretty stressed out so I think it would be good for her to have some time alone. I wonder what they were fighting about...

I put on my shoes and walk out the door and over to Shawn's house.

I knock on the door and Shawn's mom opens it.

"Hi Emma! I wasn't expecting you to drop by."

"Hi Mrs. Mendes! Shawn invited me over," I said

"Alright, well I'm headed off to work and Aaliyah is at her friend's house so it's just the two of you. I think Shawn is in his bedroom, you can head up there if you'd like. I'll see you later, bye Emma."

"Bye" I said and smiled as she left.

I go inside and kick off my shoes and walk up the stairs. I can faintly hear his singing and the strum of a guitar.

I walk over to his bedroom and see that he's facing the other way. I don't want to disturb him so I just lean up against the doorway and listen for a few minutes until he finishes.

I start clapping and Shawn spins around in his seat almost falling off. He stares at me for a couple seconds before saying anything

"Oh, hey Emma, h-how long w-were you standing there? D-did you hear me on the phone...?" He asked with a nervous expression on his face.

"No, when I got here when you were singing. It sounded really good by the way."

"Oh, okay good," Shawn said, sounding relieved.

SHAWN'S P.O.V
~~~~~~~~~~
*a few minutes before when he was on the phone*
(S=Shawn, B=Brian)

B: Hello?

S: Hey Brian it's Shawn.

B: Hey Shawn, what's up?

S: I need your advice...

B: With what?

S: So you know how new people moved in next door right?

B: Yeah.

S: Okay well this girl moved in and she's in our grade and I think I like her.

B: Okay.... And?

S: I want to ask her out on a date but I want it to be special.

B: You could take her out to dinner. There's this new place that just opened up called Il Fornello.

S: I went there a few days ago and Apparently Sarah works there. The whole time I was there she was up my ass about getting back together.

B: Oh, I'm sorry man.

S: Yeah, well I have to go soon. I invited Emma over to watch Movies and stuff and she should be here soon.

B: Okay, that's not really a date though. You could take her out for ice cream or something.

S: That's a good idea, thanks Brian.

B: Yeah, no problem. Talk to you later.

S: Bye.

I hung up the phone and grabbed my guitar out of the corner of my room and started to play. I started singing Give Me Love by Ed Sheeran.

I finish and hear someone clapping behind me. I spin around on my chair and almost fall off but I regain my balance and see that Emma's standing in my doorway. Even in sweats she looks amazing.

Shawn focus. Say something. If you keep staring at her she'll think you're weird.

"Oh, hey Emma, h-how long w-were you standing there? D-did you hear me on the phone...?" I said nervously. Shit. If she heard my conversation with Brian I would be screwed.

"No, when I got here when you were singing. It sounded really good by the way." She said.

"Oh, okay good," I said relieved.
