today was another dreadful day of school. luckily it wasn't that bad because a cute guy looked at me a lot in math. all my friends say he likes me but he probably doesn't.

chloe and i are doing are homework, playing gentle music in the background. every time shawn's songs come on things get awkwardly quiet. it's as if i want to skip it but don't want to show that i'm hurt, and chloe wants to skip it because she feels bad for me, but wants me to fight through it.

i hate it. sometimes i wish shawn hadn't dmed me in the first place.

things are too awkward to tell him the news, but i feel like he should know. but then again, what kind of 'internet best friend' is he?

sighing i unlocked my new phone, which was impossible to explain to my mom, to see that shawn had texted me. a small smile came to my face, and i immediately opened the messages app.

shawn 🍁

hey laur
when you get this ft me

please!
i need to talk to you
sent 3:47 pm

glancing at the clock, i saw it was already almost 5. hopefully shawn didn't think i was ignoring him.

"hey chlo, shawn wants me to facetime him!" she smiled nervously and told me to do it. "he's trying to win you back! give him a chance!" i bit my lip and nodded slowly, pressing the facetime icon next to his contact name.

facetiming shawn 🍁...

silence filled the room as chloe and i waited for shawn to answer, but he never did. i sighed and locked my phone, continuing the math problems on my algebra homework sheet.

once i was done with my homework, chloe had to leave. we sadly said goodbye and i went back to sit on my bed and do nothing.

my heart almost jumped out of my chest when my phone starting ringing, signaling an incoming facetime call. i stopped breathing when i saw the contact name.

shawn 🍁 wants to facetime...

i waited a few seconds before sliding the green circle over, answering the call.

shawn's face popped up onto the screen, and i tried to hold back my grin. "lauren, thank god you called! i have great news!" "yeah?" "my manager, andrew, he's letting me letting me break up with alessia!" this time i couldn't hold in my smile.

"that's great!" he grinned. "i know! i love her, but dating her was just so stressful." i nodded along, as if i could relate. his messy hair caused butterflies in my stomach and his husky voice caused my heart to pound.

"so enough about my dramatic life, what's up with you?" this was my chance, tell him or not...

"nothing, just school." not.

"that's cool i guess haha," shawn laughed awkwardly. "i think this is the first time i've facetimed a girl outside of my family." i giggled, shielding my face with my hands to hide my blush. "damn, you're even cuter in person," i heard shawn mumble. that only made me blush harder. "stop making me blush!" i playfully scolded. realizing i had heard what he said, he also blushed.

"shawn! interview starts in 10!" i heard someone call. shawn looked at me apologetically. "got to get my makeup done!" he laughed. "i had a great time talking to you lauren, talk soon?" i nodded. "bye, shawn! i love you!" he smiled, "love you too babe".
