"A 50's diner?" I ask, giggling.

"What's wrong with that?" He questions. "Oh, nothing I just didn't figure you as that type of person" I shrug.

"Well that is what we are here for, to get to know each other" he says as we get out of the car and head into the restaurant.

It's actually a really nice place, it has white/cream walls and big circle lights handing from the ceiling over the little red booths.

It has a long counter with a blue top, with seats down it.

We sit in the booth closest to the door beside of a window. "So, what would you like?" Shawn asks.

I look at the menu and decide on a cheeseburger and a milk shake.

"Ready to order?" A girl, around our age comes up to our table and asks.

"Yup, you?" I ask Shawn.

He nods his head, "Could I get a cheeseburger with some fries?" He tells the girl and she writes it down.

"And for you?" She asks me.

"Can I have a cheeseburger and a vanilla shake?" She nods her head and write my order down.

"I'll be right back" then she walks off behind the counter.

"So, what do you do for fun?" Shawn asks.

"Well, I sing and play the guitar and when I'm not writing, I read. What about you?"

"I play the guitar, and I sing and write songs. I'm not that good at it though" he shrugs his shoulders.

"I bet your great! You should think about putting your music out there. You know, if you want" I suggest.

"Well, now that you've brought it up. I've found this app, it's called vine-" he starts, "Vine?" I cut him off.

"It's an app where you post 6 second videos of something. I found it, created a profile but I've never posted a video" he finishes.

"That's perfect! You should post a cover of you singing on it, I bet people will love it!" I tell him.

"I don't know Tris, I like to keep my talents hidden, kind of like you like to keep your singing for the shower" he laughs.

"Touché" I giggle.

The girl who took our order arrives at our tables and hands up our food.

"Thanks" I smile.

"Yeah, whatever" she shrugs.

Wow, rude much? I roll my eyes and look at Shawn. He shrugs his shoulders and holds back a laugh.

The girl walks away. "Well, let's eat shall we?" He says.

**

We stayed in the restaurant for hours talking about life and getting to know eachother.

I learned that Shawn loves muffins, is obsessed with Harry Potter, and when he was little he wished that he could fly.

We are now in the car on the way to get my car.

"Wait, wait, so you jumped off of your bed because you actually thought you were superman?" I laugh.

"Yes and it's not funny, I broke my arm that summer" he fake pouts.

I start laughing harder until I snort.

I immediately stop laughing. "Did you just snort?" He chuckles.
