-Aria's POV-

Hey, i'm Aria and let me tell you a little about me. I'm gonna be a senior in High School this year. I'm 5'2 and 17 years old, I know i'm short don't make fun of me. It's just my mom and I living in a small house in small town in Illinois. My dad's in prison and he has been since I was about 2 years old so I don't remember much about him and my mom never told me why he's there.


I wake up around 10am and head to Starbucks because coffee is life, am I right or am I right? I throw my hair in a messy bun and get dressed then left. Once I got there I went in and waited in line. It was so packed, I was super uncomfortable because i'm not a huge fan of people.


After what felt like forever, I finally got my coffee and food then sat down to enjoy my meal. More and more people kept walking in. I just scrolled through Instagram and Twitter. I looked up from my phone once I noticed someone was sitting across from me.

"Do you mind if I sit here? There's not really anywhere else." A really cute stranger asked me. Honestly he was really cute and way taller than me.

"I don't know, I'm kinda busy." I said messing around. I looked around and noticed an empty spot next to a weird dude. "There's a spot right there next to him."

"I mean I guess," he said getting up.

"No! I um was joking, you can sit there," I said laughing. Is this my idea of flirting? Gosh i'm such an idiot. This is why guys don't like me. That wasn't even funny so why did I laugh. I'm gonna be single for the rest of my life because of this reason.


After about 5 minutes of us not talking, he breaks the silence.

"I'm Shawn by the way," He said putting his hand out.

"Aria," I said smiling and I shake his hand.


We start talking for a while until I got a text from my mom saying I need to come home to help her with something. Shawn looked at his phone and sighed and put it on the table. I gave him a confused look and he looked at me.

"Can I borrow your phone to call my friend to pick me up?" He asked.

"Yeah sure." I said handing him my phone.

He walked outside and called someone. He came back inside and handed me my phone. He thanked me and we said our goodbyes and I go home. After I help my mom do what she needed me to do, I go upstairs to my room.


I turn on Netflix and check my phone. I had a notification that I got a message from "Shawn". I never even got his number. I clicked on it and noticed that he texted him from my phone, smart move.

S- Shawn

M- Me


S: Hey

M: Heyo

S: Whatcha doin right now?

M: Nothing much, just watching Netflix. Oh and nice move with saving your number by the way, really smooth

S: Had to get your number some how

M: Could've been a man and asked me face to face

S: I thought this way was better :(

M: lol. Hey so I never got your last name or your age??

S: Mendes. Shawn Mendes and i'm almost 18 you?

M: Why does that sound so familiar? Oh and mine is Hammington, Aria Hammington and i'm 17

S: No idea and that's a cute name

M: Nooo, I hate my last name

S: I think it's cute.

We end up talking all night until I passed out.
