"Wait, what did you just say?"

"I love you, Shawn"

Not a word was said. Not a noise was made.  It was like you could actually feel the silence. It's like all of time stopped, like it stopped trying to give you time to figure out what to say.

"Shawn?"
"Shawn?"
"Shawn a-are you gonna say anything?"

Shawn's POV

It was the first day of my senior year of high school. Only one more year.

"SHAWNY!!!" I heard the voice of my best friend, Camila. I turned my head in the sound of her voice and saw her running up to me and greeted me with a bear hug.

"Are you ready for senior year?" she asked as she jumped down

"Totally! I'm ready to be the king of the halls" I said proudly, but also jokingly. We walked in and were greeted by our friends, Jack Johnson and Jack Gilinsky.

"Hey what's up guys?" Gilinsky asked as we did the typical guy handshake. We all talked until the bell rang and everyone went in their separate directions, except for me and Camila because we have first period together.

"Hey are you ready for your set tonight?" Camila asked me as we sat down

(*Yes, Shawn and Camila are famous in this story*)

"Yeah! I'm really excited, I love to meet the fans too" I said as I grabbed my notebook out of my backpack. Camila and I do live a regular school life though. We've all went here since kindergarten and so no one really treats us differently or oddly.

"Hey what about you? You and the girls are performing too right?" I asked her

"Yeah we are, but we're only performing like 2 songs"

"Well that's still fun" I said and she smiled. I logged onto Twitter and started looking through my notifications. As I was looking through them, I saw a ton that were saying the same thing

"@smilemendes: congratulations on reaching 4 million Shawn!"

"@shawnsmuffins: SHAWN HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE 4 MILLION FOLLOWERS"

"@magicalmendes: Shawn reached 4 million followers and I started following him when he had 300k whERE DOES THE TIME GO"

I looked at my profile and saw it was true; I reached 4 million followers!

"Camila I reached 4 million followers are Twitter!" I said to her excitedly

"Holy shit that's awesome!" she said and we high fived. Camila has 3.5 million followers, so there's not a big difference between us. I decided to tweet a thank you to all my fans,

"@ShawnMendes: 4 million followers ! That's crazy ! Thank you guys so much🙆🏻 ! You guys rock !❤️🎸👊🏼"

I smiled and shut my phone off and patiently waited for class to start.

************

It was 12:00, which meant we got out of school, since it's the first day and it's a half day. I walked out with Camila and we decided to go get lunch

"Where do you wanna go?" she asked as she jumped in the passenger seat

"Do you just wanna go to McDonalds?" I asked and laughed a little, just because I couldn't think of anywhere else to go. She chuckled a little and nodded. There's a McDonalds about 5 minutes from school, but everyone goes to that one, so we decided to drive a little longer and go to a different one where we won't find as many fellow classmates. We turned on the radio and the song no other than Worth It was on. Camila smiled hugely and turned the volume up.
