I Lied

Chapter 1

Raven's POV

"S-STOP SHAWN, STOP!" I tried to get out, barley able to breathe becuause of how much he was tickling me.

He stopped and looked at me, "And why would I do that, Miss Raven?"

"Because you love me?" I said hoping he would stop for good.

He smirked, "Nope, not good enough." he said as he went back to tickling me.

"S-SHAWN PETER RA-RAUL MENDES, STOP OR I'LL EAT YOUR MUFFINS!" I threatened him.

He picked up his hand to his chest and gasped, "Not my muffins!"

"Then stop tickling me." I smirked becuase I knew I had defeated him.

"Ugh, fine." He said and raised his hands in defeat.

Now I know what your thinking, you personally know Shawn Mendes? Well the answer is yes, I Raven Grace McCarter am best friends with the Shawn Mendes, and I have been since kindergarten.

Flashback

"Mommy, I don't want to go to  kindergarten!" little me said crying.

"Raven, you have to go."

I refused to go so, my mom had no choice but to pick me up and put me in my carseat while I cried from the bad seat.

When we had gotten to my school my mom gave me a quick kiss and told me she'd be back later, before I started to cry again. I went inside and was greeted by my teacher Mrs. Ovard who told me we'd have a fun day today. She brought me over to where the other kids were coloring or writing their alaphbet and numbers. I sat down as Mrs. Ovard left and started crying again.

After a couple of minutes of me crying a little boy with brown hair and brown eyes came up to me.

"Are you okay? You seem sad." he asked being me concerned.

"Y-yes, I-I just m-miss my mo-mommy." I said through the tears.

He looked at me and gave me a hug, "Well maybe we can be friends until your mommy comes."

I nodded. "Best friends?"

"Best friends." he said and smiled.

End of flashback

"Hello? Earth to Rave." Shawn said waving his hand in front of my face.

I came out of my daydream and turned my head to Shawn. "What?"

"You were staring off into space for like 5 minutes."

I just smiled and said sorry.

"What were you thinking about?" he asked me smirking and nudging my shoulder.

I got up to go get food and he followed me. "The first time we met." I answered simply, grabbing two slices of pizza for each of us and putting them in the toaster oven.

His face, that was full of excitement and happiness before, had faded of those emotions. "Oh, I thought you would have been daydreaming of someone you had a crush on."

I laughed. "N-no." I said looking down before speaking again, only softer this time so he didn't hear. "If only you knew the answer was technically yes."

He looked at me, "What did you say?" Great he had heard me, good job Raven.

"O-oh u-um nothing." 

See here's the thing, I've had a crush on Shawn ever since 2nd grace and we were now in our Junior year of High School so I've had this hopeless, low- profile crush on him for 8 years.

No one knew about it and I wasn't planning on telling anyone since Shawn had become slightly famous over the past 2 years and I didn't want people saying I liked him for attention.

But, that's one thing I definitely  wouldn't do. I would never like him just for attention. I like everything about him. I like his lazy eye that he has on his left eye, I like the way he sings and plays guitar for me when I'm feeling sad, I like the way we can stay on the phone for hours on end and not say a word but never hang up because we know we each have someone on the other end of the phone who will always be there for the other person, I like the way he cares for his family, I like the way his nose scrunches up and his eyebrows knight together when he's thinking hard, I like everything about him that he doesn't like about himself. Overall, I just like him and that's one thing I wish I had the guts to tell him even though he probably doesn't feel the same way back. I sighed thinking about that depressing thought to see Shawn looking at me worriedly for the second time tonight.

"Are you okay? You seem sad."

"Yea, I'm fine." I assured him smiling and grabbed our pizza.

« Time skip to after Shawn leaves »

I heard the door open downstairs."Raven, I'm home." I heard my dad call from downstairs.

"I'm in my room, I already had food when Shawn was over." I yelled down the stairs.

I only lived with my dad because my mom had died 5 years earlier in a car accident due to a drunk driver on her way to work.

I pushed that to the back of my mind before I started crying and put on some music on shuffle and Night Changes by One Direction came on and I started signing as I gathered what I'd need to take a shower and walked across the hall to the bathroom.

I connected my phone to my speaker, undressed and, hopped into the shower having a little concert like I always do before I got out. I got dressed into my pajamas which was just a pair of old leggings and a big t-shirt. I put socks on because I lived in Canada and it was November and freezing. I grabbed my phone, walked back into my room and, took out my laptop. I went onto my twitter and scrolled trough my timeline until I was all caught up. After a while my eyes started to get heavy so closed my laptop and put it away. Before I went to bed I put my wet hair in a bun and laid down. I stared out the window until I feel asleep thinking of my mom, Shawn, my dad and, all the events that had happened throughout the day. Suddenly I was swooped under sleep's wings as he guided me through the night.
