Sing // Shawn Mendes Fanfiction

One// The Flashback

I stood in front of her, fiddling with my hands. She hadn't notice me until I spoke up.

"I'm..I'm Shawn." My voice trailed off.

She looked up at me with a blank expression. She waited for me to say something else.

Oh.

"Can I play with you?" My voice wasn't as audible as I wanted it to be.

"What?" She sounded mean.

"Can I play with you?" I said it louder.

She didn't think about it when she answered.

"No."

"Why?" I was taken aback by her rude response. There has to be a reason why she wont let me play with her.

"Because I don't like you" She shrugged and patted the sand castle that she has just built.

It angered me how a girl could be so mean. I puffed out some air and stomped on her castle.

" Why did you do that?" She shrieked.

"Because I don't like you" I mimicked what she had told me before. It felt good standing up for myself.

Without giving me a second to even look, she charged at me and pushed me down. She pulled on my hair and lifted my head up.

I was kicking and yelling at her to let go. Her smile showed that she was amused by this.

She grabbed a handful of sand and shoved it in my mouth, making me gag by the horrible taste. I reached for her ponytail and pulled on it, harder.

"Owwwwww" We both yelped.

"Elyssa Ramirez!" A woman came to us and pulled the girl off of me. Elyssa was still holding into my shirt so she wasn't pulled away just yet.

"Shawn Mendes!" My mom came, bringing the stroller along.

My mommy had Aaliyah two months ago. I wasn't that excited on her coming.

It fells better when I'm the center of attention.

"Loser!" Elyssa yelled. She now held on my shoe. It was slowly slipping away.

"Poopface!" I barked back.

"At least I poop in the toilet!" She gestures towards my pull-ups. I am a 5 year old boy with pull ups, but its not my fault. I'm always afraid that the toilet will flush me along with my business that I would drop.

Finally our mothers pulled us away. My mommy pulled me to the bench, giving me water to take off the sand all over my face.

She placed me in time out after that. When I looked at where Elyssa was, it seemed like she's in time out as well.

I watched her the whole time our moms were talking. She has her hair messed up, pink overalls all dirty, and silver sparkly shoes. She has her arms crossed over her chest and watched our moms talk.

"I'm so sorry, Karen" My mom tells the lady, patting my sister on the back.

Aaliyah burps and they laugh.

Blah, Blah, Blah.

It's not my fault Elyssa was being mean. She could've at least lied saying that she doesn't like playing with people.  Saying that you don't like a person is really mean.

I continued to look like her. She reminded me of the boy that always picks on me at school. Both of them are mean and tough. Both have pushed me down in sand before.

The only difference I can point out is that she's prettier than him. Of course.

"Shawn?" My mom pops in front of me.

I look up at her so innocently. As if I didn't pull a girl's hair. As if I didn't destroy anyone's castle. As if this is my first time getting in trouble.

"I'm gonna need you to say sorry to Elyssa."

What?

"Whyyy?"  I whine and leaned back, letting my head fall back.

"You pulled her hair! " She was getting irritated.

"She put sand in my mouth, mommy!" I argued, pouting so that she can change her mind.

"She's gonna say sorry, too, Shawn." She put Aaliyah in the stroller.

I groaned again before stomping my way to Elyssa. Her mother noticed me and whispered something in her ear before leaving, to go to my mother.

I stood in front of her once again, and she gave me that look, once again. This time I wasn't shy. All I had felt was anger towards her.

"I'm only here to say sorry because my mommy told me to"

"So?" She glared at me.

"So that means I still hate you" I shrug and sit by her.

"I..I hate you, too" She sighed and we both watched the younger kids play. They look about 2 or 3.

After a few minutes of silence, she spoke, "Why do you still wear diapers still?"

"because I want to" I spoke.

She didn't respond.

I look over to our moms and noticed my mommy was getting ready to leave.

"You can go now" My head turned to Elyssa's face looking so excited that I'm leaving.

"Bye!"
