I was on my way to school when those girls were standing and waiting for me again.
"So I see you're getting pretty big on YouTube these days" the leader smiles.
What do they want. Urg.
"Yeah, I guess" I shrug.
"And your friend Shane, he can really sing" she smiles again.
"Okay, let's cut the bs, what do you want?" I snap.
"You and Shane come to my party tonight"
"First of all it's Shawn and we are both working tonight so"
"Okay I'll see you there" she walks away not taking my rejection. I'll just ask Shawn about it later.
I continue to walk to school.
I go back to thinking how she called Shawn my friend. He is but, I wanna be more than that, we both do.
"Hey wait up" I hear a familiar voice call out.
"Shawn" I turn around and hug him.
"How are you" he walks beside me.
"Good, you?"
"Yeah good"
"So do you wanna come to a party tonight?" I ask.
"Sure, I haven't socialised in awhile, I'll see you tonight then. I'll pick you up around 7?"
"How about work?" I question.
"Don't worry about it" he waves good bye.
He seemed so keen for a party.
The rest of school was boring as usual and I kept getting distracted because I couldn't help it think of Shawn and how he actually wanted to go to this party.
I get home and get ready. And by the time I actually put effort in to look good I hear Shawn been the horn.
I walk outside and get in his car.
"You look beautiful" he smiles.
I just laugh. "Are you sure you want to do this? I mean I feel like it's all one big prank on us"
"Well if it is, go with it. I mean let's milk this and walk in hand and hand" he smiles.
"Like boyfriend and girlfriend?" I ask.
"Yeah, but as boyfriend and girlfriend"
"Is Shawn Mendes asking me to be his girlfriend" I act all surprised.
"I guess he is" he laughs.
We get there and it's a massive house party.
I'm really not the girl to go to parties, but since this will be great to show off my boyfriend to those who ever bullied me. I know that sounds bad but honestly, nothing is better then making people who hated on you, jealous.
Shawn gets out of the car and lets me out. Shawn looks incredibly sexy in his plain black tee and skinny jeans. As for me, I'm wearing a high waisted short black skirt and a grey crop with ankle boots.
Shawn intertwines his hand with mine, its like a perfect fit.
"What are we even meant to do?" I look up at Shawn.
"Dance, talk, sing, find a dark corner to make out in" he laughs.
"I think I like the last one the best" I whisper in his ear.
We walk hand in hand into the house, I know nearly everyone here and they are only staring.
Shawn looks at me and smiles.
"What?" I laugh at him.
"You look so worried" he laughs back.
"I'm fine" I lie.
I'm feeling a little uncomfortable in this scene. There's people smoking and underage drinking. Who knows what's happening behind the big shed.
"I got you Lydia" he pulls me close.
"Who knew little shy girl Lydia would be at a party" a familiar voice comes up from behind me.
I turn around to see James. James is, well James. He is that guy everyone is friends with. That guy who goes around group to group to get gossip.
"And who is this?" He looks at Shawn.
"I'm her boyfriend, Shawn" Shawn goes to shake his hand.
"James" he shakes Shawn's hand back. "Your that guy who sings right?"
"Yeah" he smiles. "Lydia is pretty good too"
I shoot Shawn an evil look.
"Well you guys should go down to the basement, they have drunk people singing singstar" James laughs as he walks away.
"I could use a song or too, how bout you show these people what they bullied for so many years?" Shawn smiles at me.
You know what, I am sick of everyone calling me shit and who cares what they think of me right? I should just let loose. I have Shawn right beside me, and when I'm with him, I feel like I can do anything.
"Let's do it" I smile back at him.
We walk around the house until we hear the drunken voices that were coming from the basement. We walk down the stairs to see a small crowd of people, two people were just finishing up on Singstar.
"Us next!" Shawn yells, which attracts a lot of attention. Every girls eyes were on Shawn. And I think Shawn knows it.
He grabs my hand and kisses my cheek. Thanks Shawn.
We wait until it was our turn and grab the mics from the previous drunken singers. I get the blue one and Shawn gets the red one. The song is selected at random buy some guy who I forget the name of.
"I'm not sure I want to do this" I whisper in Shawn's ear.
"I'm right beside you and besides everyone won't remember it tomorrow" Shawn laughs.
I guess he is right.
The song "Closer" By the "Chainsmokers" plays. How cliche.
Shawn starts to sing. I found myself just staring at him, admiring everything from his lips moving to the way he closes his eyes to hit notes.
Then come my turn to sing. Let go Lydia, it will be okay. As I do. As I sang I noticed that the group of people were growing, I hope everyone is drunk.
Shawn turns to me.
"So baby pull me closer in the back seat of your rover" we sing together.
We finish singing and everyone one claps.
"Another song!" People yell.
"I guess we're in for a long night babe" Shawn says to me.
He called me babe and boy did it sound good.
