There both in high school.

Shawn POV

I went on Instagram, looking at all the new feed. I decided to go on to my friends pages. While I was on @lauren_jergy98, I saw one of her followers- Camila Cabello. She was so amazing, and I've had a thing for her since freshmen year. I'm a junior now.

I decided to follow Camila and Lauren in Instagram. A new notification came up: @camila_cabello97 has accepted your follow request. She followed me back and then liked my most recent photo. I decided to stalk her on my computer to have a better look. Scrolling through Camilas Instagram, I saw her most recent photo was of her and her band, Fifth Harmony, with One Direction. It had 15k likes.

Woah....

She's basically famous. I clicked on her profile picture. It was of her at the beach with a blue bikini and a see-through white cover-up. She had a flower crown on with gold earrings. Of course, my mom decided this was the perfect time to walk into my room. She went behind my computer and said,"Camila Cabello, huh? She's gorgeous, Shawn."

"Yeah Shawnie, should I tell my reading tutor that you think she gorgeous, just gorgeous?" My sister Aaliyah sarcastically asked. Crap, I forgot that Camila volunteers to help Aliyah with reading. I quickly retorted," No! Mom, I don't even know her. She's way out my league anyways. Camila is gorgeous, I guess, if you have to know."

I heard a laugh from behind me. Looking back, I saw my mom leave the room, shaking her head and smiling. I also saw my sister with my phone.

"Shawn! I've been videoing you. If you don't do my dishes for a whole month, then I'll post this everywhere, and send it to Camila." She cackled.

"OK! I will, I will. Just give me back my phone, Aaliyah."

She laughed again before handing back my phone and leaving. That was close. Camila could've found out I liked her.I heard my mom yelling up the stairs to my room,"Shawn! I just invited my coworker and her family to dinner! We're going somewhere fancy. Dress up! We leave at 6."

Ugh. I hate these dinners. It's either really awkward or just plain boring. I showered and then put on some pants, with a dress shirt and a black tie. I grabbed my "special occasion" blazer and put that on. I checked the time. It was 5:56.

I quickly grabbed my phone and wallet and went downstairs. "Do I have to come, Mom," I companied," I don't even know the family."

"I think you'll be thanking me later, Shawn. You haven't met her daughter properly yet. I hear she's quite the cutie." I sighed, knowing she wasn't going to change her mind. "Everyone in the car! Let's go!" My mom yelled.

We drove to a really fancy looking restaurant. My mom spoke to host,"Reservation for 7, under Mendes." We went to our table. "I still don't know why you made me come to this stupid dinner, mom."

She responded, smiling slightly," Trust me Shawnie, you'll be smiling too when we're done." As she finished speaking, I looked around.

Walking in the door was Camila Cabello, and her family, I presume. Looking at Camila, I saw she was wearing a black, short-sleeved top with a black skater-like skirt. (PICTURE ABOVE) Her hair was in a loose, fishtail braid, and her makeup looked really natural. In her braid was a bow.

"Told you," my mom whispered as she also looked at Camila. They began walking to us as my mom stood up to greet them.

"Hello, Hello Sinuhe." My mom said. "Why, hello!" Mrs. Cabello said. My mother began introducing us."This is my daughter, Aaliyah, and my son, Shawn. Their father is out of town today."

"Well,"Camila's mom said,"This is my husband, Alejandro. We have two daughters, Sofia- our youngest, and Karla-she's in high school, but she goes by Camila."

I rose my eyebrows, because I didn't know that that was Camila's name. Camila blushed when her mom said that. "Moooommmm. You don't have to say that every time." Camila said, exasperatedly.

We all laughed. "Sit, sit." My mom said to the Cabellos. Camila slid in next to me while Sofia and her parents went on the other side. We all ordered and began to talk.

As our parents were talking, Aaliyah was playing with Sofia. Camila and I were awkwardly sitting together. She faced me and said,"So, Shawn, tell me about yourself."

I smiled nervously and said,"Well, I'm Canadian, I have one sister, my favorite color is blue, I like to sing and play guitar, and I really like muffins. What about you?"

She softly laughed and said," I'm Cuban/Mexican, I have one sister too, I'm in a girl group called Fifth Harmony, and I eat like, seven bananas a day." I began to laugh. "Bananas, really?"

She smiled and said smartly," They have potassium and they're good. Banana. Banana Wamama."

Shes so cute, I thought.

Camila blushed,"Thanks, I guess."

"Did I say that out loud?" I asked. "Yup" she said, popping the p. I smiled, embarrassed.

"So Camila, tell me about yourself. I hear your quite interactive in activities and such." My mom asked.

Camila faced my mom and said," All good things, I hope. Well, I am caught up in a lot of activities. Like, I do the cheerleading squad, and I play guitar and sing in a band."

"How amazing! What about academics? Any plans for the future?"

Camila responded," I take a few advanced classes. I do AP World History and English Writing. I take Advanced Algebra 2 with your son, as well. For the future... I'm not very sure. I'd like to become a singer or musician, but if that doesn't work, going to Cornell for law has always been a dream of mine."

My entire Camila looked astonished at her. I said," Woah Camila, you've got this down." Everyone laughed. When we worked at the time, it read 8:39pm. "Sorry you guys, we've got to go." Said Sinuhe.

We all stood. As we said our goodbyes, Camila stood and wrapped her arms around me. I smiled and enveloped her in to a big hug. "See you later, Muffin boy!" I laughed. "Bye, Banana Wamama."

As I went into my room, a notification came up.

Unknown: Hey Shawn, it's Camila.

Shawn: Hey Camz.

Camila: it was fun tonight

Shawn: yeah, I didn't even know my mom worked with urs.

Camila: Haha. We should hang out sometime tomorrow.

Shawn: Are you asking me out?

Camila: that depends if you say yes or no.

Shawn: definitely yes

Camila: Then yes, it's a date.

Shawn: cool. After school?

Camila: right. I gotta go help my sister. Bye!!!

Shawn: bye cutie

As I po down my phone, I

Camila: ☺️☺️ bye

I jumped on my bed, and fell asleep dreaming of Camila.

Kind of boring. Eh. Any ideas?
