Camila POV

It was another boring day in summer. I was in my room and there was nothing to do. I decided to visit the library. I go there at least two times a week. A lot of my friends live or work around that area.

I wanted to walk, just to get a good exercise. I grabbed my phone, wallet and house key and walked out the door.  "Bye mom! I'm going to the Library!"

"See you sweetie!" She responded. " Tell Mr. Mark I said hello."

I walked away. "Hey Mrs. Hayeds! Nice garden." I said as I passed our neighbor. "Thanks Camila. You heading to the library?"

"Yep. I can tell Mr. Mark hey for you." She laughed," That would be great! I've got to head! Bye Camila." I waved. Walking into  library, I stopped at the front desk. Mr. Mark, the librarian, was talking to a guy about my age. He saw me and then stopped his conversation to face me," Hey Camila. Any new songs yet? How are the girls?"

"Not yet Mr. Mark. The bands doing great. We've got another mall tour soon. It's gonna be fun." I said. Chuckling, he said," Sounds great. Right, Camila- this is Shawn. He's the library's new intern. Workin for credit, you know?" I laughed and said, offering my hand," Nice to meet you Shawn. I'll be see you a lot, I'm a regular here." He shook my hand and laughed. I liked to joke around.

He introduced himself," I'm Shawn Mendes. I'm not a regular, but I will be soon." he said with a slight smile.

"Mr. Mark! I almost forgot! My mother and Mrs. Haydes both say hello!"

Mr. Mark smiled and then left with Shawn to talk about his intern. I went to a chair and pulled out a Harry Potter book. I began to read. At page 39, a paper airplane flew onto my table. Looking around, I didn't see anyone. I opened the airplane.

Dear Camila. I hope we can be friends. You seen really nice and pretty. - SM

I didn't know who SM was. I smiled at the letter. I decided to check out the Harry Potter book. Before I left, I grabbed a piece of paper and write down:

To SM: Your so sweet. I'd like to be friends with you. I just need to know who you are. Maybe next time we can meet. - CC

I left the library. Walking home, I couldn't stop smiling. I didn't know who this person was, but they were really kind to me. I want know find out and meet him/her.

I walked into my house and saw my little sister Sofi coloring a dog handout sheet on the table. She noticed my smile and said,"Why are you so happy? Do something fun for a change?"

"Hahaha," I said sarcastically. "For your information, I did do something today."

"Who is she?" She asked. "Why are you so sure it's a she, Sof?" I asked.

Bad move Camila, bad move.

"Ooooooohhhhhh Camila has a boyfriend!!!! Who is he? Where'd ya meet him? Does he like you? How can he like you? I mean seriously, lookatcha!?!" Sofi rambled on.

"A few things, Sof. One, he's not my boyfriend. Two, I don't know who he is. Three, I didn't meet him. He left a note for me saying I was nice and pretty. Lastly..." I punched her on the arm. "I'm not that lame, Sofi. Gimme some credit."

She put on a fake thinking face and then said,"Naw." She left me alone.

The next day

I walked back into the library and started to read my Harry Potter book. After a little while, I got another airplane flown onto the table.

Well, CC, I defined think we should be friends. But we can't meet. Weve already been introduced. You just didn't really notice me. Trust me, I noticed you.. -SM

Ps. You look amazing today.

I looked around again. No one. I got a price of paper and wrote:

Fine then, I'll meet you AGAIN someday. Until then, your my new friend. :) thanks for your compliments. They're sweet. Ummm... To get to know each other better, let's play a game. 20 questions. What your favorite animal, food, and singer?
-CC

I walked up and away to leave. The intern, Shawn, I think, came up to me. "Ummm... Hey Camila. How're you doing?"

" I'm good. Thanks. You're Shawn, right?"

"That's me. Hey, we should hang out sometime, to get to know each other better, as friends." He said. " That sounds good! Wanna head to a coffee shop later? I'd really like to know you better."

He smiled. "Awesome. We can meet here sometime, and head to Café Swenkos later. Does 4 sound alright?"

"Amazing. I gotta run, but I'll see you later, ok?" I asked. "Sweet. Bye, Camz!"

I walked out. For some reason, my stomach got butterflies when he called me by my nickname. I've never felt something like that before. Shaking the feelings away, I went inside my house.

------Why hello there, line breaker.-----

It's been 4 months ever since SM has started sending me notes. Everyday, I'll go to the library and read. An airplane will land on my table, and it'll be from whoever this guys is.

I've got to know him a lot better. Apparently, he likes to play guitar, moved here from Canada, and really likes muffins. He always compliments me by saying how pretty I am and how much he likes me. I have a crush on him, for sure. I just, reaalllly want to meet him.

One day, I was in the library, reading, as usual. That was, until note fell on my desk.

Dear Camz,
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Your dress is really pretty,
And so are you.

Ps. You look good in purple.
-SM

As I finished reading the note, I felt a tap on my shoulder. Turning around, I saw Shawn behind me. He had a bouquet of flowers with red roses and blue tulips. His first words to me were,"By the way, Camila, you look really good in purple."

My eyes widened at what he said. I jumped up and hugged him. "I was you the whole time. " I murmured in disbelief. He smiled down at me and kissed the top of my head. "I love you, Camila."

I blushed, and rested my forehead on his chest. He slowly leaned down and placed his lips on my.

Fireworks.

We both smiled into the kiss and I pulled away, just to say,

"I love you too."

Brosefs. I'm low on ideas.
