Elizabeth and I linked arms as we practically skipped to her car. The parking lot was stuffed to its limit, probably 200+ plus cars were surrounding the building. I had known it would be packed here, they hadn't been to the midwest since Chicago, about a year ago. We quietly slipped in the car and once we closed the doors, we both screamed. It felt so good. After all that had happened, we just had to let it out. It felt like forever before we finally were headed to our hotel which was only about 25 minutes away. We jabbered endlessly about what had happened and bragging about how cute each boy was and how lucky we were to go up on stage, all that.
I felt as though I had just won the lottery, Cameron Dallas actually put a photo of us on twitter, knowing that he would get negative comments on it. That was the best part! I kept looking at my phone, it kept buzzing constantly, with TONS of mentions. Most were nice, people saying I was so lucky, I was so pretty, and even a few said we made a cute couple. But others weren't so nice, claiming I wasn't good enough for him, that I didn't love him enough for a picture, etc. It surprisingly didn't bother me. I thought it would. This was silly people, who were just jealous. Strangers, they didn't know me! They had no idea who I even was, they were just wishing they had the same opportunity. I think everyone should get a chance. Even that stupid pretty Caleen.
Ok so maybe I remembered her name. Is that so bad? She was my competition. Woah, what. Did I just say that? Um, Shawn was the one who chose her. It's not like they would date anyway. She was stunning though. With light brown freckles all over her nose and upper cheeks, her slightly slanted bright blue eyes, and her long, straight blonde hair, she would definitely appeal to Shawn. I was different almost completely. I had long curly brown hair, with big grey eyes. But Cam had liked that, why didn't Shawn? Why was I pretty enough for one, but not the other?
"-but then she was like I can't believe Nash chose you like he's my cuddle bear. I was like, um not anymore. He's my cuddle bear, we are like practically daing. Mykenna, are you even listening to me?!" Elizabeth shouted as she glanced at me. I didn't even realize I was spacing off.
"Sorry girl, I was just thinking about Cam. He's perfect." I whispered the last part, not knowing if I was talking about Cam or Shawn. Elizabeth soon stopped the car and I realized we were at our hotel. We grabbed our luggage, checked in, and quickly went up to our room which was huge and very nice.
"Okay, I'm gunna shower first, then you can. Mmkay?" Elizabeth asked me as she grabbed her clothes and headed to the bathroom. I nodded and smiled at her as I began to change into some pajama shorts and a plain grey t-shirt. As I was putting on my shorts, I noticed a small bump in my jeans pocket.
I reached inside to find a small piece of paper, I opened it up to reveal a phone number. Below it had the simple initials, S.M. I thought for a moment before giggling, how did Shawn slip this in my pocket? Must of been that amazing hug. I didn't know how to feel about this. Did he give it out to every girl? Surely not, then his number would be all over the place, right? The, why give it to me? I quickly grabbed my phone and typed in the number. Not wanting to be too desperate, I typed a small message.
To: Shawn Mendes
Hey, Shawn. It's Mykenna. Just wanted to make sure you gave me the right number.
I re-read it several times before reluctantly pressing send and putting my phone on the bed. What? Why would I text him? It was probably a fake number anyway. Some stupid joke. I saw Elizabeth walk out of the bathroom in a tank top and leggings, humming a song I didn't recognize.
"Your turn, darling!" She said smiling as she danced by. Gee, someone sure had a great day. I grabbed my clothes and went into the bathroom, taking my shower. All the time I was thinking about what I would say when Shawn texted me back. If, that is. I'd never been nervous around guys, not ever. But now, I was standing in front of the bathroom mirror with my pajamas on, shaking like a little girl.
This boy would be the death of me, I thought, as I walked back out to see Elizabeth taking selfies and filming a couple of vines. Maybe she had been writing on Wattpad. She wrote the best stories, all of which about Nash. She smiled at me as I walked over to my bed and checked my phone, surprised to see I had a message. I quickly unlocked it, remembering about Shawn. Oh gosh it was from him, oh gosh.
From: Shawn Mendes
Hey there! (: So glad I got to meet you today. Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye, Kenna.
I practically jumped up and down after reading this. He was glad to meet me?? Me?? Oh god, this was so good. It was his real numebr, and obviously he meant to give it to me, and had expected a text from me. I was texting Shawn Mendes! But wait, he called me Kenna. I know I know, you'd think lots of people would use that nickname for me. But no one did. I hated it. But from Shawn, it felt... okay. I actually liked it. I took my time not waiting to seem too eager, and sent a thoughtful text back.
To: Shawn Mendes
It was great meeting you too! I can't wait to see you all tommorow, what are you guys doing now?
I sent it, then immediately regretted the last part. I asked him where they were? Wow Mykenna, try not to act so creepy next time. I groaned and put my phone down, trying to ignore the fact that I might have ruined my potential... friendship with Shawn.
