BAD THINGS (Camila Cabello/MGK/Shawn Mendes)

C6: Officially Shawn's girl

So we went to a coffee shop just inside the school. I think this guy Austin was really famous because while we were walking to the coffee shop, everyone were looking at us, especially to me. Some girls were whispering to each other and some were taking snapshots.

"Why are they taking us pictures?" I asked Austin...

"Relax, Camz. They're just jealous."

We giggled and I asked him about the new nickname he gave to me and he asked if it's okay for me. Who am I to not say no? So I said yes.

We were at the coffee shop when I was the first one to ask him because I was really really curious and he replied, "can you search my name on Google?"

"Aaaand why would I do that?"

"C'mon. Just do it, Camz."

"Okay okay," I grabbed my phone inside my jeans' pocket and search for his name and my eyes went to this (O_O)

"So... so...." I gulped, "you're a Hollywood singer?!" I even turned that into a shout that made everyone turned around and looked at us. Ooops.

"Uh... yeah." he ran his fingers through his hair while saying that.

Can I be honest? He's so cute!

"Wow... just... wow..." when I said that, he laughed again.

"You think it's a wow?" he asked, curious.

"Of course, yes. I'm doing my best to graduate here just to enter Hollywood, you know?" I said and took a sip of my cold coffee.

"No, it's not really that wow. Too many paparazzi's, crazy tabloid stories, romance dramas, gossips here gossips there. Your life is an open book to everyone. Blah." he said that and rolled his eyes.

I chuckled knowing that he's so funny like me.

"So... why were you alone in that room?" he asked.

"In the music room? I was you know, getting ideas to finish my song for tomorrow's Music Festival with a guy." I said and took a sip of my coffee again.

"A guy?"

"Shawn Mendes. My classmate and seatmate on most of my classes." I said.

"Oh. I've heard about him."

"You do?"

O_O

"Yeah. His father is a Hollywood director and his mom's my mom's best friend."

But he said that his parents were businessmen.

I began to frown when I thought about that day.

Sighs.

"Hey. What's with that sigh?" Austin asked.

"Oh. It's... it's about the song. I still haven't finished it yet." I said and sighed again.

White lies are good sometimes.

"Can I check it out? I'll help you."

O_O

"You... you'd do?"

I swear, I was blushing!

"Yeah. Since we have no school tomorrow 'cause they'll get busy preparing for the Music Festival, then come to my apartment tomorrow morning."

Did... did... a famous Hollywood teen singer just asked me to come to his apartment??? Arrrrrgghhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! (>3<)

"Um.. yeah sure." was the only thing I said.

He asked for my number and he also gave me his number. After the little chitchat at the coffee shop, we separated ways. He went to his next class and I went to work at the cafe.

After work, Lauren and I went home at around 10 pm and we were surprised, especially me, when we saw Shawn and Brandon talking at the living room.

They both gave us time to talk.

We went inside my room and sat on the bed.

"Why are you ignoring me?" I asked first.

"Why are you with him?" he asked and held his phone where I saw a picture of me and Austin walking to the coffee shop.

I sighed.

"It's a long story. And how did you find out?"

"Camila, it's all over the news."

What?

I grabbed my phone and searched for the headline news today and ...

"Fuck..." I whispered to myself.

"So.... do you like him?" he asked.

"What? What are you talking about, Shawn? Noooo. We're just friends." I stood up and opened the door when Lauren and Brandon fell down from leaning from over the door.

-____-

"Hi..." Lauren said and smiled big.

"Are you guys listening?" I asked.

"Nooo." Brandon said when they both stood up. When he saw Shawn sitting on my bed, he whispered, "don't rape him."

Lauren was bursting in laughter. I just shook my head, sighed lightly, and closed the door and locked it.

"Why are you ignoring me for two straight days?" I asked him.

He sighed, stood up and went to me, "I was hurt."

I knew it. I hurt him.

And then there was silence in the room.

"Camila?" he leaned closer to me then kissed me sweetly. I kissed him back.

"I'm sorry for ignoring you." he whispered while nuzzling me.

I nuzzled back and whispered, "I'm sorry for hurting you."

Then we kissed again. Slowly and long, but something sweeter than the kisses we had before.

"I love you, Shawn."

And after I said, I cannot imagine how much happiness Shawn was. It was noticeable from how he smiled and blushed.

He hugged me tight and kissed my head.

"I love you, too, Camila. So much."

So from that moment, Shawn and I were officially together. <3

We were cuddling on my bed and I opened up something to him.

"Why did you lie?"

"Hmmm?"

I looked at him straight to his eyes, "you said your parents were businessmen. Austin said that you're father's a Hollywood director and your mom's a host of a tv show."

He sighed and sat up.

"My parents are famous and professional people. And I don't want people to know that their son was nothing but an ordinary school boy. I want them to be proud of me someday, you know. Sighs. I'm so sorry for lying."

"It's okay. I understand." I rubbed his back, smiled, and rested my head on his shoulder.

He smiled back and we fell back to bed and fell asleep.
