When Shawn steps out the car he gets several looks from other people. Most people don't expect Shawn like this. Throughout all the four years, he's always been arriving with that bike of his.

One of his friends run up to him as they were both dropped off in the same spot. "Shawn!!!" The blond haired jaw line king has a sensible heart but even though he is one of the sweetest, he knows what's right and wrong and has gone through several fights because of being mistreated. "Hey Matt."

"What was that back there? Is it one of your cousins who take care of you?" He asks. "Oh. Just some guy." Shawn smiles and gives his shoulders a bounce.

Matt's eyes light up as he places his hands on Shawn's chest. "What? Not just some guy, what's up!" He takes Shawn's wrist and runs off to first period.

"He, we, I slept over at his house last night." Shawn says just a little cocky. "Oh and what did you do?" Shawn likes seeing Matt so encouraging. Also, Matt is known for getting dates easily. He's not up there but he isn't a nobody. If Shawn were to say that they just slept over, Matt would laugh.

Shawn looks left and right then gets into class. He lifts his shirt and points at several bruises from the crash. "Oh my gosh he left love bite trails!" Matt gets close to touching them but Shawn swats his hands.

"You know. Didn't think you were that smooth, Shawn. My boy is growing up." Matt pats Shawn's back and the class bell assembles. They sit on opposite ends of the room and the teacher comes in briefly.

The rest of the day until lunch came with Shawn always focusing in class. It's all he ever does. Plus, Shawn making up lies from last night. He may of gone absurd with the rumors between him and Taylor. But he trusts Matt that he won't spill a word.

"Shawn Mendes. Report to the office. Shawn Mendes. Report to the office." The announcement rings across campus. Shawn  gets some looks because people know he's such a humble student.

It must be Taylor, Shawn is certain it could be. When he walks there, he's welcomed by Taylor standing against the office desk, while he has a bag in his hand. "Hi." He says more shy than typical. "Hey. So are you spending lunch with me or leaving?"

Taylor walks out allowing Shawn to go first, "Right. I asked for a visitors pass so I could stay with you during lunch. Now, where to?" Shawn walks him to this area that he likes to eat lunch alone. Well, some days Matt doesn't hang out with him so he enjoys this a lot. It's a secret place that I was given to from his art teacher.

They walk into his art teachers soon and waves at her. "Hello, back door." It's all he has to tell her in order for her to understand and let him through. He goes to go to the art storage room and pull these stairs from some rope and it's kind of like a sudden rooftop.

"Oh this is nice." Taylor says in awe. "That long walk is worth something. Thanks for sharing this with me." He stands against the railings and absorbs in the view.

( fun fact: the last six chapters were written in shawns pov until I had to change all of the " I " & " me " to " Shawn " and having to change the verb forms because I forgot it's in third person oops )

The two boys sit across each other as Taylor unravels the plastic bag. "I'm not sure what you like, to be honest. But it's teriyaki chicken. A good kind." He gives Shawn a fork and props his chin on his hands.

Shawn takes the fork and picks at the teriyaki with some rice and lettuce. "Oh I never tried this before. It's really good. Thank you." Shawn says delighted. "But are you going to eat some?"
