Don't Be A Fool - Shawn Mendes FanFiction

Trying to pull me in

Liliana's p.o.v

The last week of school didn't feel much different to every other one, just minus the stress and homework. It was relaxed and most lessons was just fun as there was nothing else we needed to learn after we had done our exams. Everyone had gone back into usual routines. By Wednesday, I saw Louis making out with another girl by the lockers. I didn't care too much. He was very kind, caring and sweet when he wanted to be but every other time, he was just a player.

Shawn and Willow were being all cute and couple-y but they knew it had to come to an end because Shawn wanted to travel around with his music but Willow wanted to go to college (university for me) so they were cherishing the time that they had. Camila and Ari were still talking to Niall and Harry but Liam and Stephaine were constantly on and off, but there wasn't really another other way to be for them.

Time skip to Friday

It was the last day. We were all going around school with our year books getting anyone and everyone to sign them. I had gotten a majority of people's signatures but I didn't really mind. As long as I had my best friends in there, I was happy. I hadn't seen Shawn yet and Willow was getting worried as she wanted to sign his book and there was only an hour left of school.
As if on cue, we saw him walking through the crammed corridor, with a pen in his hand signing a lot of books, and a guitar bag on his back. He would have to get used to that life style. We were all looking up to him as a star now, his career had broadened as he had been offered many deals by stars and others along those lines. I would never have guessed that music-freak would be a star.

As he eventually made his way through the crowds, he saw Willow and smiled. He came along and gave her a kiss on the lips. A small pang of jealousy ran through me. It felt wrong having these feelings for him, especially as he was dating my best friends and also because less than 2 weeks ago, I was calling him names through the corridor.
"Hello?!" Willow was waving her hand in front of my face, "we are heading out to the benches for a while, do you want to join?" She asked.
"Yeah I'll join." I responded, half aware of what was happening.
"I'd like all your opinions on a couple of songs that I've written recently." Shawn stated, as an open question to the four of us.
"Yay! I'd love to hear some songs you've written." Ari said, excitedly.
"Maybe you guys could do a duet. Or a trio!" I commented, knowing very well that Ari and Camila have amazing voices. Willow looked at me, maybe not liking the idea of people singing with Shawn as he was still a bit insecure.
"That's an idea, I'd really like to see how our voices go together." Shawn replied, I breathed a small sigh of relief.

We made our way out onto the benches, there were a couple groups of people scattered here and there but not too many luckily. We sat down, Willow and Shawn on one side, and the rest on the other side. Shawn got out his guitar strumming a few chords here and there. He cleared his throat and explained what his song was about; "So I've been writing this song for about a month and it's about a certain someone..." He made eye contact with Willow and as he started the first set of chords and he angled himself towards her, I saw from the corner of my eye Ari taking her phone out and then go onto camera and start to film. 
"I'm only going to sing a bit of it, so I don't spoil too much," he began to sing and my heart was beating quickly, why do o feel this way?!
Kid in Love
"The way you're lightin' up the room
Caught the corner of my eye
We can both sneak out the back door
We don't have to say goodbye
'Cause, it's alright, it's alright
To waste time tonight."

He played a couple of chords in the middle and tears started to fill Willows eyes and she had a wide smile across her face;

"Maybe I'm just a kid in love
Maybe I'm just a kid in log
Oh, baby
If this is what it's like falling in love
Then I don't want to ever grow up
..."
You could tell that he skipped a section as he had to play a bunch of chords to get back into the rhythm and then he continued,

"Maybe we're just kids in love
Maybes we're just kids in love
Oh baby
If this is what it's like falling in love
Then we don't ever have to grow up
Maybe we're just kids in love
Maybe we're just kids in love
Oh baby
When we're alone and it's the two of us
I can't get enough

I've got it all, yeah
I've got it all, yeah
And I've got it, and I've got it all."

He finished the song and we were all struck. We all clapped loudly and his cheeks went red as he ducked his head down. The camera clicked off and Shawn quickly brought his head back up and looked at Ari.
"Please don't post that anywhere, it could ruin everything." Shawn said, deadly serious, staring Ari directly in the eye.
"Chill, I won't don't worry." She replied, not in a confident way.
"Okay. What's next then," Willow interrupted. "Any more songs?"
"Yep there is one more that is going to be released quite soon, it's called Something Big, but I'm only going to sing the chorus as you don't have to wait too long to hear this one."
This one was more upbeat than the other one. I started to tap my foot along to the beat,

"Something big I feel it happening
Out of my control
Pushing and pulling and it's grabbing me
Feel it in my bones like
Whoa oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh whoa
Something I feel it happening
Oh Whoa oh oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh whoa
Something big"

Again, we all started clapping once he had finished. He was very talented.
"Thanks guys. Your support means a lot," he looks at me, "a lot."
"Well you're very talented and it deserves to be recognised." Camila said
"Here, here!" I cheered afterwards. We talked for another 30 minutes, meaning we had 10 minutes left until we were free. We all got up, to meet the rest of our year and wait in reception.
"Hey Cami," he cleared his throat realising that he had called her by her nickname which we never do, "can I talk to you about something quickly. There is a song I'm working on and I think it needs a female voice too," their voice faded away as me, Willow and Ari walked off, not wanting to be rude. I looked at them both and they looked quite jealous, obviously for different reasons.

Willow didn't like girls hanging out along with Shawn, for reasons which don't need to be explained.
And Ari was also into her music and very good at singing so the fact that Shawn picked Camila instead made her a bit angry. This gave me a bad feeling, especially on Aris behalf as she had something to black mail him with; the song she recorded.

After a couple minutes, Shawn and Camila caught us up in reception. She was smiling a lot and he was acting proud of himself. Willow, being overprotective as she is, glued herself to his side and grabbed his hand.
"Guys, only 2 minutes remaining!" One boy shouted out. Everyone cheered. The whole of my year was gathered in the reception areas, it's a tradition in our school. Not one that the teachers approve of, but one we do all the same.

Everyone parted into their conversations, Willow was questioning Shawn about what he wanted to talk to "Cami" about. It was getting quite heated but I didn't want it to ruin the mood so I gave her a nudge, looked at her with a side eye, and reminded her of the clock. She looked up at the time.
30 seconds left.
She relaxed her shoulders, looked at Shawn, smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek and whispered something in his ear. Whatever was going on, I wasn't interested. I was focuses on leaving this school and living the life I wanted to.

"5!"
"4!" Everyone was chanting as we counted down
"3!"
"2!" Someone grabbed my hand and I grabbed the hand of whoever nearest me. I received a squeeze back but I didn't know who it was.
"1!" After this, everyone fell silent and waited for the bell to sounds
*bell rings*

Everyone screamed and cheered as we ran out of the school, and in my case, never return. I was ecstatic! I looked around and all the people surrounding me had been with me through such an adventure. I smiled and hugged as many as possible, even if I didn't know them too well, it didn't matter.

My life was about to begin!
