Complicated//Shawn Mendes// !COMPLETED! ✔️

Chapter 29

I sit in a nearby cafe with Layla as we met up before school. We talk about plans for holidays and literally about everything.I accidentally take a look at big clock behind Layla and gasp.
"Oh fuck! We're totally going to be late",my eyes widen and I put my jacket on fast.
Layla laughs and puts her coat on.Snow covered everything but that doesn't stop us to run towards school. I laugh uncontrollably and Layla does too.I live for moments like these. We run up the stairs and rush towards the classroom. As we approach all you can hear are numerous voices from the inside of a classroom. We slow down and look at each other.
"Mr.Clarckt is always late",Layla breathes out with grin on her face.
I just nod and open classroom doors.
Everything stops as we come in and as they realize it's just us two they continue with whatever they've been doing. I look at my desk and surprisingly I see Shawn in classroom.His head is on his arms and he's laying down on his desk,sleeping? I slowly approach and take a seat where I must sit,right beside him.
"Look who decided not to ditch school anymore",I say scoffingly.
He doesn't respond nor raise his head.I frown and get my head nearer to his.
I hear him breathing in a slow,peaceful rhythm and letting quiet snores out. I can't help but chuckle at him.He looks so peaceful and cute.I sneakily take a picture of him and lean back on my chair.After few minutes instead of Mr.Clarckt I see tall,older man coming in.Whole class sighs and makes horrific faces as they see him. I look around confused and stand up to greet our,I guess,professor.
Shawn still lays down not even flinching. He is sleeping like a baby.I look down at Layla and ask her what is going on. She just rolls her eyes and "slits" her throat with her thumb.I read her lips something like: "You'll see.Worst professor ever".
Wonderful.Last week before holidays and this professor has a need to show up. Suddenly whole class looks depressed and irritated.
"Good morning class. I am Mr. Yatsko as some of you know and some of you don't. I will be replacing your professor this whole week as he is ill and maybe even longer.You know my rules and you who don't,well,get to know them somehow",professor speaks,his voice filled with arrogance.
I already feel negative vibes towards him and dislike him.
I slowly trace my fingers up Shawn's back and whisper his name softly.His head separates from his hands and I see him looking up at me. His hair looks messy and face extremely sleepy.He opens his eyes slowly and instantly smiles at me.
"No better way to wake up",his raspy,sleepy voice fills my ears.
I just smile shyly and nod towards professor.His face changes from happy to disgusted in matter of seconds.
"You have no idea what a devil of person he is",he whispers and leans back on his chair.
I just make a grimace and stare in front of me.
I feel his hand grabbing mine and his thumb making small circles on my skin.I look at him and frown not pulling my hand out of his.
"Shhh..",he shushes me,"...I'm a baby in morning",he says softly with a small smile on his face.
I say nothing but chuckle silently.I never knew that holding his hand would feel this good.Our fingers intertwined and matching like two missing pieces of puzzle. I smile to myself and let the heat overflow me.This is so different from usual. Last night and this,two different things.Him usually and now,two different things.It makes me wonder what is it going on? I focus on a lecture with my arm still in his huge one.

Next few days I spent hanging out with Layla and casually seeing Shawn from time to time.We didn't have any lessons at home and he was acting so friendly towards me.I felt confused.He's never like this. I even started to feel scared until...this Friday.

Last day in school before so long expected winter break. I sleep throughout my first two classes.Shawn hasn't showed up yet and this is the first time he'll ditch in this week. Old Shawn is back.
Third class is Mr.Yatsko's class. I walk into class alone and sit myself beside Shawn's empty place.Layla is ditching today with Aaron and I am left alone.I already planned to catch up with Becky and Emily for lunch but they don't have same classes as I do which means I am going to bore myself out now.
Professor walks in and starts lecturing few minutes later. Firstly I make notes of what he is talking about but soon enough that turns into scribbling.Not to fall asleep I pull my phone out and decide to text Shawn.I am little bit curious about where he is.
"Not coming to school today?",I type him a message.
Three dots appear as soon as I text him.
"Curiosity killed a cat,princess",he answers.
"Oh shut up",I roll my eyes at myself.
"You shut up",he types back.
"Huh,make me",I tease.
"I will",his message pops up.
"But you might moan a little",he finishes his thought with this.
I bite the inside of my cheeks and smirk at myself.
"There is a huge might in the middle of that sentence",I provoke even more.
"No,no,babygirl",I wait for him to type further.
"I swear to god the minute we're alone I'm gonna make you moan",I feel heat rising in my body as I read his message.
I bite my lip and smile at my phone. I mumble fuck under my breath.
"So inappropriate of you Mendes",I type him back.
"Christensen,are you texting in my class?",I hear professor referring to me.
"No,sir",I look up at him.
"Come here immediately!",he sounds angry.
Great..
I stand up and I see worried faces on my classmates.I see Nick,a boy from class,staring at me and telling me to run. I look confusingly at him.
"You know what happens when someone texts in my class,so go on..",professor looks arrogantly at me.
"I do not,sir.I am new here",I say confused.
He starts laughing like a hyena and looks at whole class.
"Someone tell her quickly",he says still laughing with his disgusting laugh.
"You,Michell,tell her",he points at this girl in first row.
"Umm,well,you need to read your messages out loud in front of everyone",she looks with sympathy at me.
No,no,no,no,no. That's something I want to do least now.
"No,please,no!",I almost cry out.
"I have rules and everyone needs to obey them.You are not an exception. Who were you texting? Who is more important than my lecture?",he raises his eyebrow at me.
"My mother",I say out of blue.
"Let's not lie each other,Christensen.Give me your phone then now",he hands his hand out.
"Professor,please,don't.I can't",I say.
My cheeks are redder then ever and I can't stand this public humiliation.
"Immediately Christensen. Your phone",he yells at me.
I slowly hand him my unlocked phone and close my eyes. As he takes my phone classroom echoes as someone knocks on doors.Shawn comes in and looks stunned as he sees me there in front of everyone.
"Come in Mendes and stand beside Christensen as you are clearly more important than the today's lecture",professor says.
Shawn stands next to me and I see in his look that he already knows what's going on.
"Class,now Christensen will read to you messages she traded during my class with Mendes",he hands me my phone back.
"Don't even try to change what I've just read",he threatens.
I hate him so much right now. I never hated anyone and right now I can't even describe what I feel toward this professor.
I slowly start reading my message and Shawn follows after me.My heart is stuck in my throat and I feel like I'm about to throw up.
As we read messages I hear whole class gasp.I hear whispers afterwards and I see them giving looks to each other.
My cheeks are burning as we finish reading messages and all I can see is Shawn just casually smiling.
"Satisfied?",Shawn asks professor arrogantly and madly.
"Go to your seats",professor says indifferently.
I move towards my seat and Shawn follows. Faces turn towards us as we walk and take a seat.I just bury my face in my palms and breathe in huge breaths. I've never been so embarrassed in my life.
Bell rings and I just pick my stuff running out of the classroom.
"Babe,babe!",I hear Shawn following me and calling.
I turn around,tears in my eyes.
"Babe,it's okay.He is an ass.Fuck him.No one cares.Let it go",he grabs my face with both his hands and wipes my eyes.
"I can't.Maybe that's nothing for you but I feel humiliated",I whisper.
"Look,they will talk about it for few days and everyone will forget about it.Cmon,tomorrow starts winter break.Don't ruin it for yourself over some asshole and nothing big",he hugs me.
I feel surprised with his hug,but I hug him back.
"I can't stand you crying",his big hand smoothing my hair.
"Let's go somewhere",I wipe my tears away.
"You want to ditch?",he asks.
"If you can be nice then I can ditch",I look up at him.
"And when I'm not nice exactly?",he gasps.
"100% of time until this week",I frown.
"I'll act like I didn't hear that",he smiles and rolls his eyes.
"Hey,that's my habit!",I push him playfully.
"Your habit is being nice too and yet you don't nag me about it",he  makes a face and looks at me.
I just stick my tongue out and stomp my feet like a child. He gives me wide smile and grabs my hand once again.No matter how cold it is outside right now,when he takes my arm in his I feel like I'm burning.

We just spend time driving around in my car,eating and talking. Everything was finally at place and peaceful. It made me wonder if we're something.We act like friends now,but we are sure as hell not only friends.Yet we are nothing more than friends.I drop Shawn at his house and drive off.

I walk in my house and I find my parents finishing their packing ritual. I almost forgot they're leaving for winter break. Tomorrow I'll drive them to the airport and say goodbyes. After everything today I can't wait to lay in my sweet bed.All I can think about is how I miss Shawn's lips and his kiss.I fall asleep thinking about last time I felt them on mine.
