All the way to Serenade her // Shawn Mendes

Chapter 16

Shawn's Pov

It was so fresh in my mind. Everything she said kept replaying in my head.

I screwed everything up and I knew it.
I don't know how I'll be able to get to her now. She probably hates me.
Well actually she does, and made that pretty clear yesterday.

Going to school is going to make me so nervous I don't want to face her. It's just that when I'm around my friends I act a little different.

Whatever I can't be moping all day.

Quinn's Pov

I can't keep pretending to be sick. I have to face all these people one day or another.

I guess today might be another day where I go to school and not talk to them. Either that or they can just constantly hate me forever.

The only person who is on my side is Victoria, that is unless Veronica manipulated her to hate me.

Well at least I'll have Tyler.

Oh Tyler, I'm still not over his words. I don't see how he could possibly think that was the right timing.

I went to the mirror and looked at myself fully. My hair is fading back to brown. I'm probably going to bleach it blonde or back to brown.

I'm not sure, but I'm not keeping the red. Veronica isn't my friend anymore and I'm not going to keep her "ideas" on me.

I looked at the clock and saw that it was time to go. I didn't feel like driving so I am going to walk. Walking always made me feel strangely better.

When I finally reached the school I could feel all eyes on me. I walked straight to the bathroom and to the sink.

I stood there in the silence and smiled. All I need is a little silence to help me.

Then I heard whispering. I turned round and saw Veronica looking at me with two other girls I've never seen before.

"Wow." Veronica chuckled sarcastically.

She then did the Juvenal high school thing where she leaned over and whispered in someone's ears while covering her mouth.

The girl she whispered to spoke,"Ha nice hair. Didn't know grey was in style."

"I always knew that you could be rude, but I had no clue just how shallow you could be to be on their level." I looked straight in her eyes. Then she slowly looked away. I walked out of the bathroom and bumped into someone.

"Oh hey Victoria." I said embarrassed.

"That was harsh." She said.

I nervously laughed, "Good?"

She nodded, "I love my sister, but she needed that."

She left, and now I was all alone in the courtyard. Of course there was other people, but I was with no one.

Suddenly I head a voice behind me, "Need a friend?"

"Tyler? What are you doing here? At least so early?" I asked

"I figured you could use someone so I had my mom see if I could start a little early." He smiled.

I smiled then left him because the bell rang. As usual I went to my morning classes.

Once again like every other day lunch rolled around, but today it seemed like today is going to be a weird day.

I walked to the cafeterias and I felt a hand shake my shoulder. I turned around to see who it was.

"No, leave me alone. Go away."

"Stop." He said.

"What do you want, Derek?" I said rudely.

"Just to talk, Ok?"

I rolled my eyes. I can't stand Derek or anything he does.

"What did you do Shawn? He acts weird now, and he's not the popular, wild kid I knew. He obviously has something bothering him. All I'm asking now is you stay away from him and leave alone. He's better without you." He said stubborn.

I scoffed,"Gladly."

I turned around and walked away. I thought about what I said, and regretted it again.

A part of me wants to want Shawn, but I can't. I walked away and found Tyler sitting with some of his old friends.

"Hey"

"Oh hey." He said.

"I've been thinking and-"

He cut me off,"Wait, I can tell that something is bothering you. It's probably because of what I mumbled. Listen please just forget that, I really didn't want that to come out. I want to be your friend."

"I want to be your friend too. I couldn't ever picture you as my boyfriend, I'm sorry. That was wrong timing too, and I'm still trying to figure out something. I'm trying to figure out Shawn." I breathed deeply.

"Shawn? Really? That guy is the worst, he's rude to you. What's there to figure out?" He spoke kinda harsh.

"A lot to figure out actually. He can get like that, but there's another side to him." I thought about him.

"Doesn't look like it. It looks like he treats you however he feels, and doesn't care. It looks like he-"

"Stop, I can't let you sit here and insult him." I was becoming frustrated.

"What do you mean? You shouted about how much you hated him, and now you're defending him? I don't understand."

I couldn't find the words to explain to him, "I don't hate him. I just can't make myself hate him. I said it, and convinced myself over and over that I hated him, but I don't."

He twisted his face in confusion, "I don't think I'll like where this is going."

"I don't hate him, and I think that I like him. And that I have feelings for him." I got up and left the table before Tyler would speak.

Getting up from my table, I bumped into someone. Almost falling they caught me, and as I turned to thank them they stopped me.

"You have feelings for me?"

Well then. Um bye
