Begin Again (A Cameron Dallas and Shawn Mendes fanfic)

Chapter Three : Pizza

JOLENE'S P.O.V.

The next day at school, I couldn't seem to keep my eyes open during my AP Psych class. I felt my head slip from underneath the palm of my hand as my eyes forced themselves open. It was only 5 minutes into one of my teachers long lectures and I was already starting to drift off into a nap. I was, however disrupted as I heard my teachers voice boom throughout the room.

"We will be starting your next project today about Psychology of the mind," he announced handing papers and forms for the project to the drowsy students, "Each will be placed into already chosen groups and will have to work in or out of school together."

I groaned and ran my fingers through my hair. Every time one of these projects rolls around, I always end up doing all the work.

As my teacher read out the names for the pairs of groups, I waited for my name to be called, but I didn't hear it until the very end.

"And last will be Jolene and Shawn," my teacher finished.

My eyes widened. Shawn? The Shawn that everyone has been talking about these few days? Great, Molly will have a field day with me.

Before any other announcements could be stated, the bell had sounded, releasing us from any more homework.

As I started to pick up my books from my desk and make my way out of the classroom, I felt a large hit on my right side as I bumped into someone dropping my books all over the floor.

"Oh my god, im so sorry," I heard a deep voice say.

"No, its fine," I responded not looking up, "I wasn't watching where I was going,"

They started to pick up my books as I stood up with the leftovers in my arms, "Thanks,"

"No problem," Then as they stood up, I saw a familiar pair of light brown eyes stare into mine. Shawn.

"Oh, your my project partner right?" I acted like I didn't know.

"Um, yeah I guess I am," he seemed to loose his way in his voice as he continued.

Oh god, I'm making this so awkward. Why can't I just say something and not look like an idiot for once? I thought to myself as I could feel my checks grow heated.

"Do you," my thoughts were interrupted by Shawn explaining with his arms, "Do you like pizza?"

Pizza? "Well, sure" I shrugged.

Shawn's eyes seemed to grow big as he nodded and slid his hands in his pockets, "Great great," he looked me in the eye, "So Tuesday? Seven?"

My eyes widened as he stumbled down the hallway, his eyes never leaving mine as he tripped over himself, "Sounds good?" He said running his backpack into some students as I slowly nodded, "Good," he confirmed as he turned to leave for his next class.

I stood there in silence clutching my books tightly in my arms. What just happened?

* * * * *

"So he just..asked you out?" Molly asked me popping a chip into her mouth.

"I don't know," I spread out my legs in the grassy courtyard for our last free period of the day, "I mean I didn't even know what I was saying. As soon as I saw him walking out of the room I completely blanked out on what happened."

"Sounds brutal," Molly giggled.

"Ugh he probably thought I looked like an idiot," I buried my face into my hands.

"Well," Molly seemed to stretch the L, "it doesn't sound that bad to me, it sounds like you're starting to develop a crush!"

"Oh come on, I really doubt it," I shook my head.
