Stuck (A Magcon Fanfic)

Quawn

Shawn’s POV:

Come on Shawn just do it! Text Quinn. MAN UP! Invite her to hang out tonight. Do you want to be stuck in the friend zone with her? I can’t lose Quinn to Taylor. The thought of Quinn choosing Taylor over me made me feel nauseous. That’s it. Time to face my fears and text Quinn. I pulled my phone out of my back pocket and sent Quinn a text.

Hey! are you still in the hotel?

Quinn: Yeah

Me: Oh cool! do you want to come hang out with me by the arcade?

Quinn: Sure! I’ll be down in a minute.

YES! I knew I could do it.  I was really excited to get to talk to Quinn again, but I think I was more nervous. I know I’ve said it a million times but Quinn was the most perfect girl in the world.  Her eyes, smile, hair, laugh, and especially her voice.

“Shawn!” I heard that beautiful voice and instantly smiled.

“Hey Quinn!” I replied as these thoughts ran through my mind: Don’t make a fool out of yourself Shawn.  This is your one chance.

Quinn’s POV:

Shawn had just asked me if I wanted to come down to the arcade to hang out and I of course said yes.  I figured the other guys would be there as well so hopefully it won’t be as awkward as it was earlier.  Since it was sort of late at night I didn’t really feel like spending a ton of time to get ready.  I made my life easier and just threw on some leggings and a magcon sweatshirt I bought earlier today.  

I made my way to the elevators to head down to the arcade.  I was all by myself and it was actually really awkward.  When I finally reached the lobby, I could already hear the hundreds of girls screaming.  I didn’t exactly know how I was supposed to get into the arcade when all these girls were all screaming by the entrance though.   

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jack G running to another door.  I assumed he was trying to get in the arcade and I followed him. He never noticed me behind him but he lead me to the back entrance.  When I walked into the arcade I saw Shawn standing by the air hockey table.

“Shawn!” I shouted to get his attention. He instantly looked up at me and said hi.  He looked very nervous, so I tried to lighten the mood.  

“Um do you wanna play?” I said pointing at the air hockey table.

“Yea sure!”

“I’m gonna beat your ass at this just so you know” I smirked.  I get extremely competitive when it comes to air hockey, even though it may look like I have no idea what I’m doing.

“Yea ok..” Shawn laughed.  Hey well that worked.  He already seemed less nervous around me.

Just like I said I would,  I won the game.  After I did a five second victory dance I went over to the vending machine to get a water.  I turned around as I took a sip and noticed Taylor walking over to me.  

“Hi Quinn.. Didn’t know you’d be here.”  He said to me.

“Hey Taylor.  Yea neither did I, Shawn just asked if I wanted to come hang out down here.. and well here I am.”

“Well I’m glad you’re here because I wanted to ask you something..”

Shawn’s POV:

“...would you like to go out sometime?” I was walking over to Quinn about to ask her the same exact question, but froze right there when I heard Taylor ask her first.

“Yeah sure!  That’d be fun” Quinn replied smiling.  Great.  Just great.  I blew it.  Now she’s going to go on a date with Taylor, and she’ll never like me.  I was furious not only with Taylor but with myself.  I stormed out of the arcade and went into the bathroom and just screamed as loud as I could.  

“Shawn?” it was Jason.  I explained to him what happened and how mad I was a myself for not saying anything sooner.  

“Wait.. you like Quinn? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I just didn’t want you to be mad for liking your cousin..” I replied.

“Why would I be mad?  I don’t care, love is love man” he joked.  I faked a smile back at him.

“Hey I’ll help you out though.  I’ll ask Quinn about what’s going on and everything.  I’m not saying I’ll tell her to not date Taylor, but I’ll do what I can.  You helped me out on stage today, now it’s my turn to help you.” Jason said while giving me a pat on the back.

“Thanks Jay.” I said to him as he went back to the arcade.  I decided I needed some sleep and just went to my room instead, still thinking of how I’m going to get Quinn to like me.
