Summer Camp Confusion (Shawn Mendes Love Story)

I’m Karissa age 14. His name was Shawn Mendes his voice was angelic, the sound of his voice made my stomach turn full of excitement and nerves.

But he didn’t even know I exist yet I’m still completely in love with him if that makes any sense. The daily life of getting ignored on Instagram, twitter, tumblr was just getting old for me. But I still kept trying for months, and then I turned fifteen and realized this was getting old and that I have better things to do.  So I deleted each fan account and changed them to personal accounts. I smiled slightly as I realized I was growing up; I grew away from the life of a fangirl.

One Year Later…

I was so excited my Mom told me I’m going to a singing sleep away camp in Canada tomorrow! Yet I was also so nervous, I wasn’t going to know anyone there. Once I was finished packing I decided I should go to bed early for tomorrow. When I woke up I realized I slept too late and my Mom rushed me into the car to drive me to the airport. We said our goodbyes and I was off onto the plane way farther from than I had ever been, going to a place I know absolutely nothing about.

 I fell asleep on the plane and next thing I knew there was a flight attendant tapping on my shoulder telling me to get off the plane. As I walked into the airport fear struck me as I saw other teenagers walking to the bus that takes us to the camp.

 I walked over and two girls came over one said her name was Addie and the other said her name was Emily. They have been going to this camp many years and said we should all be friends and share cabins and I of course agreed! I was so happy I made friends so fast this usually doesn’t come easy for me since I mostly push people away from me. But this time it will work out I won’t push.

Then suddenly a very attractive boy came over and said hey to Addie and Emily and they hugged and talked about how they missed each other. The boy turned around and I was at a loss for words it was THE SHAWN MENDES that I obsessed over for all those years.

Shawn said hello anyone in there wow you’re one weird chick; I was shocked I thought Shawn was a nice innocent boy but I was obviously wrong he seemed like a dick who was ever so full of himself. Hi I’m Shawn you probably already know that though he said with a wink and I shortly said why the hell I should know who you are, I’m Karissa. Shawn rolled his eyes and walked away, I said what the fuck and the girls said how weird that was and he’s not usually like that and I just nodded.

 I stood there upset wanting to cry about all the years I spent supporting this boy who is really the biggest asshole I’ve ever met who’s probably not even that talented. The girls asked if I was ok and I said I was even though I was lying through my teeth.

We finally got to go on the bus and Addie and Emily sat together and there were no seats on the bus other than with Shawn so I sat down next to no other than Shawn and stayed far away in the seat. He moved closer and said Karissa is it yeah and I just nodded in response and he said I make you nervous don’t I. So I said no and he obviously could already read me like a book and moved closer to me and put his hand on my thigh naturally as I flinched. Shawn said I knew it and winked as he scooted away from me.

 As much as I wanted to hate Shawn and his attitude I couldn’t help but think it was kind of sexy in some weird way. The bus ride was finally over and we got out and picked out our dorms with two other people in it and unpacked. I felt like crying I missed home already.

We got up the next morning and went to our first singing class of the day where we all got to know each other and they assigned us with partners we would have for the whole summer to sing with and do activities with. Literally of course I get put in a pair with Shawn Mendes.

Shawn looks at me and smirks and says hi and I just roll my eyes and ignore him, we did some trust exercises and Shawn dropped me I was so fucking mad I slapped him across the face and he gave me a serious look. I was shaking why the hell did I just slap him he might hurt me or something I don’t know him.

But the teacher told us to sing our favorite song to our partners so we moved on from the slap and,  I sang You & I and Shawn sang Sweater Weather which gave me mega butterflies. I like him but I fucking hate him.

Why is everything so confusing on my first official day being here? Why did I need to get sent to the same camp as Shawn Mendes the boy I loved or maybe still love for years? Was it fait helping me or Satan wanting me to have a terrible summer? Hopefully I’ll find this out for myself soon.
