1. My Best Friend... Shawn Mendes

-Monday, 3:24pm, Pickering (Toronto)-

-Chloe-

"What makes the whole Mendes Army think their Benito, has suddenly 'become a full man' after Illuminate was released?" Shawn asked, I looked up at him with my eyebrow raised, "because you wrote a song called Light's On" I replied and he nodded, agreeing with my plain logic,

"Also... You're 19, that does techinally classify you as an adult" I pointed out, turning his understanding face as a frown, "way to make me sound old." Shawn rolled his eyes and I shrugged, "me being 18 still says I'm a teenager" I smiled,  "an immature teenager" Shawn mumbled, "uh-huh... And you're not immature?" I asked, "w-well... I..." Shawn looked down,

"You can't possibly think you can challenge me and... Win... Do you?" I asked, "I'm older than you! I'm supposed to win against you!" Shawn exclaimed, I shook my head, "unlike you... I focused on my work in school, not daydreamt about music" I prodded him in the chest with my finger, he grabbed my wrist,

"And now look at me." He smirked, I yanked away my wrist, "and now look at me. A Uni student with straight A's" I grinned, emphasising my grades, Shawn groaned in defeat and slumped in his seat,

"And Hammond is victorious" Aaliyah grinned, we fistbumped and Shawn groaned louder, "girls always win Liyah" I pointed out, Shawn covered his face with his hands, muffling the sound of his groans, "because boys are stupid" Aaliyah looked at Shawn,

"I get it! Okay?" Shawn asked, he took his hands away from his face and sat up, "my best friend sided with my sister... What kind of world do we live in?" Shawn asked, "a world where girls rule" I nodded firmly, Shawn glared at me and Aaliyah and I burst into laughter,

Shawn stood up and walked away, throwing his arms in the air in a mock surrender, making Aaliyah and I laugh harder, Aaliyah fell off her chair, making me laugh even harder, my stomach began to hurt, we couldn't care less that we had attracted the attention of everyone sitting outside the café, I took a deep breath and attempted to stop laughing, but failed, I felt someone tickle the sides of my stomach, making me scream and jump almost 5 meters into the air,

"HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed, Shawn walked beside me, laughing his head off, I stood up and punched his arm, "that's not funny!" I yelled, Shawn stopped laughing and studied my dead serious expression, I glared at him and helped Aaliyah up, we walked inside the café,

"What are we doing?" Aaliyah asked and I grinned evilly, "Shawn started this war, we'll finish it." I walked up to the counter and asked for a bucket of ice in freezing water, after telling the lady at the register our plan, she agreed, letting us go out the backdoor, we snuck up behind Shawn, who was leaning against a pole, I lifted Aaliyah onto my shoulders, she held the bucket and tipped it onto Shawn,

"FUCK!!!!!!" He yelled and faced us, I had already placed Aaliyah on the ground and we had took off, I glanced over my shoulder and saw he was sprinting after us, he was a lot faster than us, so he was quickly gaining on us, I snatched the bucket from Aaliyah's hands and threw it at him, he simply jumped over it and kept running,

I saw Karen watering their garden and I took the hose and aimed it at Shawn, he covered his face; which was were I was aiming the hose, I handed the hose to Karen, who kept it aimed at Shawn, Aaliyah and I kept running,

"CHLOE HAMMOND!!!!!!!!" Shawn screamed and Aaliyah pointed, seeing Camila getting in her car, we ran over, "CAMILA!!!" I yelled and she looked over, her eyes widened and she opened the doors, we jumped in and closed the door, when Camila started driving, she looked at us in the rearview mirror,

"What is going on?" Camila asked and Aaliyah and I laughed again, "Shawn scared Chloe, so we poured ice onto him, Karen then sprayed him with water and I think he wants us dead" Aaliyah explained and Camila laughed,

"You guys seriously needed to call me before pouring ice onto him, I would've been more than willing to help!" Camila grinned and I returned it, but Aaliyah's eyes widened, "oh... It's not over yet." Aaliyah pointed, Camila looked ahead and we saw Shawn's car parked across the road, Camila stopped her car,

Shawn walked over and opened the door, he pulled me out and looked at me with a crazy grin, "I can win." He nodded to someone behind me and all I could see was green, I gasped at the weird green goo that was poured onto me, I turned around and wiped the goo away from my eyes, seeing Cameron and Matt holding buckets dripping with goo, I growled and clenched my fists, I saw Aaliyah who was covered in bright pink goo was frowning at Nash and Hayes and Camila who was covered in yellow goo wasn't paying much attention to Jack and Jack, she was trying to get the goo out of her hair,

I faced Shawn, "Mendes... You have... 2 seconds... To get the fuck out of here." I narrowed my eyes, hearing the buckets dropping and seeing the boys running, I took Aaliyah and Camila back to my house, which was next to Shawn's, we walked up to my room, I gave Camila a white, knee high dress and told her to have a shower in the guest room, I gave Aaliyah one of my old Nike hoodies, white shirt and jeans, she had a shower in the main bathroom,

I had a shower in my bathroom, I washed my hair with rose scented shampoo and conditioner and I used milk and honey bodywash, I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around me, I left my bathroom and searched my room for my hairdryer, my brothers had been here and completely changed my bathroom, it originally was entirely white, but now it had black tiles on the floor, light gray walls and roof, the sink had a wooden backsplash, the cabinets were white but had glass doors at eye-level, the shower had one black tiled wall,

Once I found my hairdryer, I plugged it in near my sink in my bathroom, I turned it on and obviously... Dried my hair, once I finished, I brushed my hair, I didn't wear makeup because my skin was perfect and olive (unlike when I was 13 and I was pale and not-so-perfect),

I grabbed a layered dress from my walk-in-wardrobe, it had multicolored flowers on it, the flowers had a painted look to them, the background was black, it had thick straps and was knee high, I dressed into it and walked out, I pulled on a pair of low-heeled, white sandals, I walked into my laundry and threw my goo-covered clothes into the washing machine, Aaliyah and Camila found me in here and threw their clothes in as well,

"Guys are gross." Camila stated as we walked downstairs, Aaliyah nodded, I stopped and crossed my arms, they faced me and looked at me confused,

"We can't really talk, can we? I mean seriously, Aaliyah, we started this" I pointed out and Aaliyah frowned at me, "are you siding with the boys?" Aaliyah asked, "no! I'm just saying, it was originally our fault" I shrugged, "I guess you're right" Aaliyah shrugged,

"Still... Goo? Can they get anymore childish?" Camila asked and we laughed, "this is the old MAGCON boys we're talking about" I reminded, Camila nodded, "true. That stuff stank, what was it?" Camila asked,

"We added a little bit of this and that to it." Cameron grinned, they were all sitting down in my living room, Camila, Aaliyah and I crossed our arms, "like what?" Aaliyah asked,

"That... My friends... You do not want to know" Matt laughed and I rolled my eyes, "you guys are so immature" I groaned and Aaliyah and Camila nodded, "just tell us." Camila demanded,

"Nope." Jack G shook his head, "c'mon girls, we'll have some muffins" I smirked looking at Shawn, he looked up with wide eyes, we walked into my kitchen and I grabbed three muffins,

"I'll tell you!!" Shawn exclaimed appearing in the kitchen, "for a muffin, of course" he added, I rolled !y wrist, signalling for him to continue, "rotten eggs, blue cheese and rotten tomatoes, all blended up..." Shawn smiled sheepishly, Camila, Aaliyah and I gagged,

"What?" I asked, dumbfound, Shawn laughed nervously, "oh, you can have a muffin" I smashed one of the muffins onto his face, "I never thought you would stoop so low." I laughed and we walked out,

My best friend... Shawn Mendes... Is offically disgusting.
