Shawn

"Come on, Shawn," my mom said rushing me. "Ok I'm done," I said as my mom, my dad, and my sister, Aaliyah, went out the door. We were going next door to meet our new neighbors.

I'm quite nervous because I'm afraid that they may go to my school. We walked down the side-walk and into their doorway. My mom knocked softly as I saw a tall boy. Damnit. He goes to my school.

He softly smiled at us, "Welcome," he said as he let us in. "Well hello Clara," my mom said as she hugged I'm guessing the boys mom. We greeted each other until it was me and the boys turn. "Hello my names Noah." He shook my hand. "Hi. Shawn Mendes," I said as a girl about my age walked over to me.

She was beautiful. She was wearing a flower dress that hugged her figure perfectly. "Hi my name is Isabella, nice to meet you!" Oh wait she goes to my school. "Well you know my name," I said as she came in for a hug. I didn't expect that but I hugged back.

"Shawn. Shawn Mendes," she said as she smiled. I nodded and smiled back. We walked over to the table and started eating.


"Where's Mr. Smith," my dad asked smiling. Isabella and Noah looked at each other then towards their mom. She cleared her throat, "We divorced years ago. So it's just me and my 2 kids," she said softly. "Oh my gosh. I'm sorry," my mom and dad said. "No i-it's okay. It's not your fault," Clara said softly and then faked smiled.

"Excuse me," Isabella said softly then got up and jogged upstairs. "Sorry excuse me too," I said as I jogged upstairs as I saw Isabella close her door. I slowly walked to the door and knocked.

She didn't answer. I opened the door and she wasn't in the bed. I looked around and walked to the bathroom. I opened the door softly. "Sometimes I think they divorced because of me.

I think that I was a mistake. I think that I'm worthless. I got bullied in my last school," she said softly. "No one knows what I think or do when I get like this. I seems like I'm just another normal girl but in reality I don't know who I am myself."

I sat next to her on the bathroom floor. "Everything will get better," I said once she stopped talking. She looked at me, "Do you sometimes think the same," she asked playing with her bracelet. "I think I'm worthless sometimes. I cry myself to sleep and think why do people hate me? Why me? But i can't never find the answer," I said as I looked at her.

She was listening to me. "Your the first person to listen to me," I whispered. She just hugged me, "Shawn it's time to leave!"

"I'll see you tomorrow," I said as I got up. She got up too. I walked to the door but she stopped me, "Wait," she whispered. "I didn't want to meet you this way, but hopefully I can make up for it," she said as she hugged me.

"Goodnight," I said and pulling out of the hug.

I pulled away and walked out the door and downstairs. I said goodbye to them and we walked back to our house. That night, I just couldn't keep Isabella out my mind.

[Isabella]

1 month later....

I still can't believe I had broke Brent's promise. Throughout this month I've forgotten about him because of Shawn. But I truly miss his silly and ratchet jokes. I smiled as I walked over to the bathroom. I wash my face and brushed my hair and teeth. I make a fishtail braid and walked over to my closet.

I took out a sweater and high waisted jeans. I put on my white high top converse. I got my phone and walked downstairs. I feel like today is gonna be a 'good' day. "Morning," I said to Noah. "Morning," he said with a mouthful of cereal. "Where's mom?," I asked. "Work," he said.

I nodded and got cereal. While I was eating, I went through Instagram. I only had like 50 followers to be exact. I only posted one photo of me and I got 12 likes on that. Eh who am I trying to impress.

I finished my cereal and there was a knock at my door. "Oh hi Shawn watcha doin here?" Noah said as he opened the door. I walked out the kitchen and saw Shawn. "Wanna walk to school with me?"
Shawn asked. I nodded. "I'll just drive, but thanks for the invite," Noah said sarcastically.

(Shawn and I had become very close friends.)

I rolled my eyes, "Bye I'll see you later," I said as I got my bag and pulled Shawn out the house.

Seven fifty.

We walked and I still haven't let go of Shawn's hand. His and mine hand fit perfe- "So uh wanna get to know each other better," Shawn said as he swung our hands back and forward softly.

"Sure. Whats your favorite song?"I asked. "Um I think it would be 'kiss me' by-"

I cut him off. "Ed sheeran!" I whispered. "Oh my gosh you know him too?" He asked. I nodded like a little kid. He chuckled, "I like 'one' by Ed Sheeran but I do like 'kiss me'." I said. "How old are you?" Shawn asked. "16," I said. "Same," Shawn said

"Do you sing?" Shawn asked. "Um yes actually but I don't think I sing good" I said chuckling. "I bet you sing like an angel!" Shawn said.

"Nah. But do you sing?" I asked as I saw we were at the school. "A little," he said. "I'll see you later okay?" Shawn said nervous. He let go of my hand and he regretted it. "Are you okay?"I asked.

He nodded. I looked down, "I'll see you later," I said as I walked into the school with my head down. I looked up when I had bumped into someone. I looked up and saw Brent? I attacked him with a tight hug. "What are you doing here?"

"Well I'd thought to surprise you, plus you haven't even called me yet I was starting to get worried!"

"Oh I'm so sorry about that!"

"Come on, let's skip today."

I smiled at Brent, as he grabbed my hand and lead me to his car.
