Shawn Mendes Imagines

Genuine Friend

You made your way through the hallways in school and saw someone unfamiliar. He was looking around everywhere trying to find his classroom. 

"Hi! You seem lost, can I help you?" You approached him and asked. 

"O-Oh, yeah I'm new here and I-I'm just wondering where is this room?" He replies and showed you his schedule. To your surprise, he's in the same class as you. 

"We have P.E. Class together! Come, let's walk to the gym together." You say and he hesitantly follows you.

"I'm Y/N and it's nice to meet you!" You introduced yourself and he smiles back shyly.

"I-I'm Shawn. Thanks for showing me around." He shyly says. Man, this boy's so cute. 

"Not a problem. So how are you liking this school?" 

"It's really great, actually. E-except that I need to make some friends. Girls never hang with me me c-cause I'm really shy and barely have confidence..." He droops his head down and you stopped walking. He does the same.

"I actually think it's cute when you're shy." You admitted and he smiles. My God, that smile just melts your heart. 

"Aww, thanks Y/N." He replies and you two continued walking to the gym.

Once you got there, you two went to your respective change rooms. Once you got out, you saw that the guys were taking quite a while to finish changing. 

Once everyone's out, the teacher instructs the task to do.

"Okay, so for today you'll be working in partners. Get into groups...." But everyone picked their friends before the teacher could even finish.

 "Y/N...I guess you'll have to go with the new student, Shawn."

"Where is he?"

"He's over there."

"Okay, thank yo-oouuuuuu...." You slurred at the last word as you saw Shawn:

"He has no shirt on cause he forgot so I let him go shirtless. I hope it's okay with you." Your teacher says and you nodded. Shawn runs over to you.

"Hey Y/N...." He shyly said.

"Shawn...you're so..." You were speechless. This boy's an angel. "...gorgeous..." You sighed and he grinned.

"Haha, aww you're too sweet, Y/N. L-let's work over there, where no-one can see me shirtless..." He stutters.

"But why?"

"I-I never show myself s-shirtless to p-people. They'd laugh at m-me..." He says and your eyebrows tilted. Well, he's a new student. Might as well go with his plan to make him not feel disappointed. 

You two did your task but you couldn't concentrate much and just admired Shawn's shirtless body. 

After school, you decided for him to come over and get to know you better. He trusts you and seemed like you're his only friend.

"So tell me, Shawn. Why'd you move to this school?"

"W-Well, it's just that I used to get bullied a lot at my old school cause of my singing voice. I know I'm not the best singer out there but it's one of my favourite things to do when I'm bored. I pleaded my parents to move schools and I'm glad I did. S-Sorry, I'm not much of a confident person..a-as you can probably already tell haha...um....b-but yeah. I really couldn't stand the bullies. I never had many friends, as a matter of fact I never even had any genuine friends. P-People would always laugh at my singing and I never had a date to the winter prom a-after I got rejected by a girl. I just..." He began to tear up and you frowned.

"I'm sorry...I just never liked my old school..." He sniffled.

"Aw, Shawn..." You coo and pull him into a hug. He gasped a little. I guess he's never felt any affection from someone before. You rest your head on his shoulder and he wraps his arms around you. You can hear soft sobs escape his mouth.

"Y/N..." You hear him whimper and you continued to hold him. 

After two minutes, you pulled away and he wipes away his tears.

"T-Thanks Y/N...you're honestly the greatest friend I could ever have. I'm so glad I met you." He smiles and you returned the favour. 

"Anytime, Shawn."

"Anyway, it's getting kinda late." He gets up and heads towards the door. You follow him.

"I'll see you tomorrow in school, Y/N." He hugs you and you gladly hugged him back.

"You too, Shawn. Take care." You replied and saw him off. 

He's never had any real friends, but you are definitely a genuine friend.
