(A Few Months Later)

(Alyson's POV)

*RING-RING*

The last final bell just rang and everyone is rushing to get out of the school to start their summer break plans.

The girls and I had plans to go on a road-trip to California. Spend a few days on the beach then head off to Orlando to spend a few days in Florida.

We were all gonna meet at our lockers. "So change here or at home?" I asked them. "Here," Val said and we headed into the girls bathroom with our stuff.

"So want to drive first?" Val asked. "I'll drive first, who's car are we taking?" Nay asked. "We can take mine," I said.

We headed into the bathroom stalls and started changing into different clothes. I put my swimsuit underneath my regular clothes which was a flannel, light blue shorts, and my converse.

I got out of the stall to re-do my makeup and hair. "You guys ready to go?" I asked them once they came out of the stalls. They nodded and we were out of here.

We all piled into my car and headed back to my house to drop our bags off and grab our stuff. They had slept over the day before and they brought their stuff so we could leave after school.

"What snacks and stuff do you guys want?" Nay asked. "Chips, chocolate and coffee." Val said and Nay left to go to the little store we had less than a street away from my house.

Once Nay got back with all the snacks we once again piled into the car. I plugged in my phone to put on some music. (A/N: Play I Were a Boy by Beyoncé)

If I were a boy, Even just for a day. I'd roll outta bed in the morning, And throw on what I wanted and go. Drink beer with the guys, And chase after girls. I'd kick it with who I wanted, And I'd never get confronted for it, 'Cause they'd stick up for me.

If I were a boy, I think I could understand. How it feels to love a girl, I swear I'd be a better man. I'd listen to her, 'Cause I know how it hurts. When you lose the one you wanted, 'Cause he's taken you for granted, And everything you had got destroyed.

If I were a boy, I  would turn off my phone. Tell everyone it's broken, So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone. I'd put myself first, And make the rules as I go. 'Cause I know that she'd be faithful, Waitin' for me to come home (to come home).

If I were a boy, I think I could understand. How it feels to love a girl, I swear I'd be a better man. I'd listen to her. 'Cause I know how it hurts, When you lose the one you wanted (wanted). 'Cause he's taken you for granted (granted), And everything you had got destroyed.

It's a little too late for you to come back, Say it's just a mistake. Think I'd forgive you like that, If you thought I would wait for you, You thought wrong.

But your just a boy, You don't understand. Yeah, you don't understand, oh. How it feels to love a girl someday, You wish you were a better man. You don't listen to her, You don't care how it hurts. Until you lose the one you wanted, 'Cause you've taken her for granted, And everything you had got destroyed.

But you're just a boy.

"Did you ever talk to Shawn again?" Val asked. "No, he's busy. I didn't want to bother him." I said.

Shawn and I talk every once in a while on Twitter after the concert but he was going to visit family now that tour was over so I haven't talked to him.

I decided to text him, just for the heck of it, to see what happens but he probably won't answer.

(In DM's)

@AlysWorld: Hi Shawn, how's it going being back at home with the Fam?

@ShawnMendes: Hey Alyson, it's been good. We've been catching up and just hanging out. How's school been?

@AlysWorld: We had our last day today, the girls and I are on our way to Utah for 2 weeks.

@ShawnMendes: Really? Well, tell the girls I say hi. Have fun. Guess what?

@AlysWorld: I'll tell them, & what is it?

@ShawnMendes: I'll be in Utah in a few days!

@AlysWorld: We can meet up again!

@ShawnMendes: That's what I was about to say.

@AlysWorld: See you then! :)

I was going to get to see Shawn again in a few days. I couldn't be happier, I never would have thought that I would be friends with my idol.
