Shawn Mendes Imagines

93- Pen Pal

Key:
y/f/n- your full name
y/l/a- your local arena
y/e/a- your email address

Okay, now that the negative part of class talk is over now it's time for the positive. A colleague and I thought it would be a great idea to create pen pals. She teachers in a school in Pickering, Canada and we decided it should be fun. I have already paired you guys up and you will have to send a range of emails, text messages and videochats." My seventh grade teacher explained. She then continued to read through a list of names and their penpals.

sort of thing made me anxious, I mean what if my penpal hates me, thinks I'm weird and doesn't want to talk to me. It'll be so embarrassing.

"And finally y/f/n and Shawn Mendes" I gulped a little at the fact I was pen palling with a boy even though I have hardly spoken to a boy in my life. The bell finally rang signalling the end of the school day and we got our bags. "You must communicate with them tonight for the first time and write down what you did and what happened."

Shawn Mendes. The words were large and clear as they were shown above y/l/a. I couldn't believe it when I first found out.

The boy who I would always speak to over the Internet. My pen pal was now a celebrity and a big one too. It was almost surreal that something like that could happen to someone you know, well used to know. We don't talk anymore.

I sighed and walked over to the box office. It has always been a wish of mine to meet Shawn or at least see him in person and now was the perfect opportunity.

"Hi, how can I help you darling?" The middle aged woman behind the till asked from behind the glass.

"Can I have a meet and greet ticket to see Shawn Mendes please?" She nodded before typing into the computer.

"Unfortunately, it looks like we don't have any meet and greet tickets just ordinary ones."

"Oh, okay. I'll just take one of those please." She nodded tapped away on the computer screen, asking me my details and what not. I paid before heading off to the local coffee shop to order a latte.

Once I was seated with my Latte to my left I decided to email Shawn. That's if he still had the same email from all those years ago.

Hey Shawn, it's me; your pen pal. I know it's a long shot trying to email you because you probably have a different email and all but I thought I would give it a try in the rare case that you will actually receive this...

Shawn's Point of View

... I am attending your show in y/c tonight and I'm really excited to be honest. Although I have never met you and we only spoke for the most a year in middle school I'm proud of you. I'm proud at the fact you achieved everything you wished for when you were 12 and I am proud that you seem to have stayed the same person that you were when you wore those heart shaped sunglasses in every video call.

I won't be able to meet you which is a shame but at least I'll be able to see you standing on that stage doing what you love.

Good Luck, I hope to meet you eventually!

Love,
         y/n xxx

I placed my laptop to the side and slipped out from the bunk and headed to Andrew, who was signing sheets of paper. He glanced up at me and arches his left brow.

"Something wrong?" He asked. I shook my head. "Then what is it, Shawn?"

"There's a girl and-"

"No, Shawn. You know the rules right now. No girls on the tour bus we don't want you to upset the fans now. Do we?" I shook my head.

"It's not like that though. When I was in 7th grade we were given penpals and she as mine. I never got to meet her because she's from y/c and I'm from Canada but she emailed me saying she was coming tonight and I really want to meet her. Please, it would make me really happy" Andrew chuckled which was shortly followed by a sigh of thinking.

"Fine, I guess you can meet her but it will have to be after the concert." I nodded quickly and rushed back to my bunk like a child.

Wow! Hey! I got your email and I would love to meet you too! It's a shame about all the meet and greet tickets being sold out but I can arrange for you to meet me after the concert.

If you stay in your seat till everyone has left, head over to the side stage barrier and tell the security guard 'my muffinman penpal sent me' then he will let you in and I'll be waiting for you. I can't wait I'm so excited! Thank you for coming to see me.

Love,
        Shawn xxx

I placed my guitar strap over my shoulder and swung my guitar on to my back. I slipped on the pair of pink, heart shaped glasses- which I carry everywhere for various reasons- and checked myself in the mirror. I wanted myself to look good not only for the fans but for y/n.

Once I stepped on the stage screams erupted throughout the whole arena and I smiled at the audience as I blew a kiss. I greeted them all and spun my guitar around so I could start to play.

Shortly after I was onto the last song of the night.

"Guys, I'm sorry but this is the last song of the night. It's the song where it all began, where I first realised that I was surrounded by beautiful fans who loved my music just as much as I do, maybe even more." I chuckled. "This is Life of the Party."

Once I finished I thanked everyone and wished them a safe journey home and headed off the stage. The house lights flicked on and everyone soon disappeared out.

Instead of waiting patiently in my dressing room I headed towards side stage where I risked being seen by at other fans. I stood next to one of the security guards and conversed with him until my attention was diverted to a slim figure heading towards me.

Her jeans clung nicely to her legs and hips as she gracefully walked towards me. I started to panic and my palms became sweaty as she approached me. My god! She's gorgeous, beautiful even.

She looked different than she did 6 years ago, to be expected but she was definitely a sight to see. I used to associate true beauty with a sea full of fans or the northern lights but she has changed my idea, my vision of what it looks like.

"Shawn!" She smiled. I froze still taking in every inch of her face; her bright eyes and her beaming smile.

"y-y/n" I stuttered. She nodded and I pulled her into a large hug. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I pulled her close to me. "It's so great to finally meet you" she chuckled into my chest.

"Ditto" I let out a sigh of content and we stayed in silence till she spoke again. "Shawn, you're a great hugger and all but could you release a little please?"

"Oh, sorry" I smiled sheepishly.

"No! It's fine. Don't worry about it." I nodded.

"Come, let me introduce you to everyone." I ego out my hand and she took it as I directed her along the corridors of backstage.
