Shawn's POV
I heard there was a new girl moving in next door. I need to get info on her. Is she nice? Is she pretty? Is she cool? Is she the one? There's only one way to find out.

She is supposed to be arriving with her parents on Friday. I'm kind of sad that it's the last Friday of summer break.

Last year in 9th grade, I had a bad reputation. I wasn't much of a 'popular' kid. I was very lonely although some students would try to talk to me. Everyone thought I was an odd kid. The bigger kids would make fun of my lazy eye. I felt a little insecure and every group project, I convinced my teachers to let me do by myself.

Gabby's POV
I'm really going to miss all my friends in Quèbec. It's the one place where I was born and it's where I grew up. All my friends became more like family.

Friday was soon to be arriving and by Monday It'll be my first day of 10th grade. I'm not ready. For now all I can do is pray for myself.

Friday ; August 21st 9:06AM
Gabby's POV
Today I'm moving to my new house. If I only have a little amount of time for being here I might as well go to Heidy's house for one last goodbye. (Heidy is Gabby's bff)

I got to her house and when I saw her she was standing by her porch. I could tell she was waiting for me.

"Hey Gabbs!!" she screams as I walk up to her. "Hey boo" I tell her as I try to reach in for a hug.

"I'm really going to miss you" "me too" "by the way, if you get a boyfriend PLEASE tell me everything." "okay okay but same goes for you" I chuckle. "So when are you leaving?" "in a few hours. I still need to go pack so I should go. Love you!!" "wait, I can help you pack" "really?" "I'm willing to since I have nothing else to do at the moment." "alright!"

Hours later we finish we finish packing my stuff. I give Heidy the tightest hug of her life as she hugs me back.

The truck arrived but I couldn't let go of her until my mom called out for me. I hopped inside and watched her stand there as we got further and further.

On the road all I could think about was school. My mind was so full of what if's. I have to admit, this is my first time moving and I'm scared.

----------------------------

We arrived after 2 hours on the road.

There is a young guy standing by the driveway. He is probably our new neighbor.

"Honey, can you put these boxes in the living room, please" my mom interrupts. I was staring at our neighbor. He was attractive and looked like a nice guy.

I finished putting all the boxes inside and my parents said they would do the rest of the work.

I walk outside and the guy is still standing there.
From feet away I could hear him say "Heyyy"
"Hey" I tell him.

He runs up to my porch and sits by me. I couldn't help but stare at him.

"What's your name" I tell him to relieve myself from the awkward moment. "Mendes..... Shawn Mendes. You can call me Shawn though." "Alright Shawn, I'm Gabby"
