Irreversible Love

Chapter 3

Haha, okay cool. I've been invited to a party, my first party ever in my life that wasn't me and Rae or Jayme or something of that sort. I am 16 years old and I've never been to a mixed gender party, well actually I went to one, but I left because cops. On second thought am I even going to this one, will my mom even let me?

I'm 16 years old I'll do whatever I want to, forget you mom. Just kidding, just kidding. Oh, wait, I'm still on the bus I should probably stop acting out what I'm thinking. I look around, luckily Rae s chatting with Megan, the girl in front of us and Shawn is focused on something outside. Exhale. No one saw your creepy little loser moment. I smiled to myself.

Okay, so a party. I need an outfit, I need to do my makeup, I need to tell Rae! "Rae." I poked her.

"What?" she said brightly with her usual smile, I swear this girl gets on my nerves with her happiness. She'd probably tell you about a hurricane while smiling. I love her to death though.

"Party, this weekend. I'll text you the details later, clear your schedule because I never asks you to do anything. Mainly because I never leave my house, but you get what I'm saying." I smile, "Please?" I say hopefully.

Rae smiles even brighter than she currently was, which I literally thought was physically impossible without pulling something, "OMG! I'm so doing your hair and makeup, can I help you pick your outfit, who's party?"

I shrug, "Maybe and Shawn's he told me to invite my friends; i.e. you and Jayme... so yeah." I smile.

Rae's mouth drops open, "Shawn." she whispers, "as in-" she wiggles her eyebrows mean The Shawn Mendes.

"Yeah." I say slightly annoyed, "What about it?"

"It's just, he's a boy." She frowns, "I don't mean it like that, like he's new, he's a 'bad boy', he's got rumors."

"I'm also right here."

I turn around to see Shawn frowning slightly over my should, I gasp startled, "Warn a girl." I mumble.

"Sorry." he blushes(which might I add is really adorable), "You know if you have questions to ask me you can ask me to my face. I am an actual person, I don't enjoy having rumors spread about me."

Oh my dear Lord, what do I do? I don't enjoy the fact Shawn is embarrassing Rae, my friend of 6 going on 7 years, but also he has the right to confront her. I shrink down in the seat, invisibility would be great right now. If Rae wasn't Rae this would be just fine, she would apologize and turn around and everything would be hunky dory. But, it just had to be Rae, didn't it. I don't know if I mentioned this, but in addition to being happy, Rae also speaks her mind and is very 'brave'. Which may or may not contribute to her happiness because everything's just kind of there she has nothing bottled up to be sad about.

"Oh, well..." Rae lets out a small puff of air, "Mr. 'Bad Boy', how bad are you? Really?" She shrugs, "Or are you just one of those loner kids who doesn't want to get picked on so makes up this hole elaborate plan to start rumors and then somehow every town within a ten mile radius hears about them and poof, you've got the reputation."

Shawn sighs, "I'm not gonna lie, I'm not the greatest guy, I've made mistakes, but I wouldn't consider myself a 'bad boy'. For starters, I've never punched a teacher, a teacher..." he trails off in deep though for a second, "This is my third school, but not for violence. I guess moving just built up this reputation." he shrugs, "When people don't know the truth they just make up something so they can feel like they have all the answers, so my reputation is just that," He looks me directly in the eyes, did I mention how perfect his eyes are, before saying, "a reputation. Not  a reflection of who I am."

If I could have literally melted to the floor like an ice cream cone in July right that second, no lie, I would've been a very large puddle. Knowing that the 'bad boy' wasn't a bad boy, maybe just a little troubled totally made me less nervous, but Rae was about to get off and I don't think I am emotionally stable enough currently to even attempt to talk to Shawn. Now I feel the urge to talk to him, we're like real 'friends' now.

 Rae turned towards me, "Are you okay, you're super pale!"

I nodded and got my water bottle out, "All good." I smiled and took a long gulp. Maybe if I just keep drinking my water Shawn won't be able to talk to me, but I'm almost out. Ixnay on that plan, could I just randomly start doing my homework? No, loser move much?

In the middle of my planning of operation Ignore The Boy, Rae turned around, "Bye, see you tomorrow." she smiled, right back to her old less confrontational self. I smiled back and waved.

JUST TALK TO HIM, HE'S ONLY A BOY. I took a deep breath and turned to Shawn, "So, who really is Shawn Mendes."

He smiled, "Well, that's a long story and I'm afraid one bus ride won't be enough." He winked, I swooned, silently. "I'll give you my number, but only if you promise to use it."

"Why wouldn't I, I need more details for the party, so I kind of would, yeah." I frowned, slightly confused.

"That was a small pick-up line." He chucked.

"Oh." I frowned and handed him my phone, "I got it now." Pick-up lines are not my expertise.

He handed me my phone back, "Call me when you get the chance, Call. It's a really long story. Maybe we can even go out for coffee or a walk or something. It's a really long story."

"Okay." Finally the bus pulled around to our stop and I hurried off in front of Shawn, I think that went well for me, awkward in terms of human kind. Wait... I turned around and shouted, "Wait! Was that kind of a date offer thing?!?"

He smiled and shouted back, "I don't know! You tell me!" Before he walked in his house.

I rushed home and dropped my book bag by the door before running upstairs and flopping on my bed, I could get used to this whole 'Having a Friend Thing That is a Boy'.
