i rustled around in my bed, covering my eyes and ears with any piece of fabric i could find, trying to mute out my alarm.

today was the first day of school, sadly. and i am beyond any level of being prepared.

after about ten minutes, i finally came to the conclusion that no matter what i did, my alarm was just going to keep buzzing.

"fuck you," i flipped the inanimate object off as i walked over to my closet. i picked out my outfit, grabbing it and walking to the bathroom.

i turned the water on, looking through my phone as i waited for it to heat up. i had five mentions from shawn on twitter and three texts from him.

@ShawnMendes

@amandaa.yates since you won't answer your phone i'll tweet you :)

@amandaa.yates mandaa

@amandaa.yates don't tell me you be sleepin -,-

@amandaa.yates ugh fine sLEEP

shawn: where r u

shawn: manda did u fall asleep

shawn: hm

i laugh at all of them, setting my phone down on the counter and stripping from my clothes.

i hop in and let the hot water consume my thoughts.

as all of the stress about school evaporated, i got to thinking about shawn again.

these past few weeks with him have been great. like, unusually good, which makes me suspect something bad is going to happen. but, for now, i have my best friend back.

i grabbed a towel from the hooks beside the sink, wrapping it around my body and then brushing my teeth.

afterwards, i dress into my dressy but casual clothing and dry my hair, letting my naturally straight locks fall halfway down my back.

i brush through it quickly then walk back to my room, looking at the time beside my bed. 7:34.

i slid my right arm through the strap, letting half of the bag dangle on my side. i grab my phone, sending a quick text to shawn.

me: hey mendes, pick me up will ya?

shawn: sure babe

my heart skips a beat as i read the word "babe." since when did he call me that?

i pushed the minor thought to the side, walking downstairs to find something to eat.

i smile as i hit the bottom step, seeing shawn already standing there.

"how did you get here so fast?" i ask him, walking up to his tall frame and wrapping my arms around his waist.
