"Ashlynn, Seriously lets go." My twin brother, Lucas calls to me from outside the bathroom. A few friends and us are going to the beach. We live in sunny Santa Monica, California. Only a 5 minuet drive from the beach. My mother is an anesthesiologist and my father is a soccer player and our family owns a record label. I take one last check in the mirror satisfied with how I look. Then I check my bag. Clothes? Check. Keys? Check. Wallet? Check. Backup makeup? Check. Towel? Check. I sling the bag over my shoulder and finally walk out of the bathroom. I smile and he rolls his eyes. I quick grab my penny board out of my room and run down the stairs, with Lucas close behind me. "Bye mom, bye dad love y'all." We yell to our parents while running out of the door. I make it to the pearl white 1962 Chevy impala and hop into the front just before Lucas gets there. "Come on! That's not fair." He pouts "Ya snooze, ya lose!" I laugh. He just gets in the back seat with his arms crossed. We drive the short way to the board walk and find our parking spot. We all hop out and get onto our penny boards and head to the beach. "Isn't it great?" I say. "Isn't what great?" Mel, my best friend asks. "The salty sea air! The wind blowing in your face!" I sigh. "Perfect day to be at the sea." I smile and laugh. "Enough with the little mermaid references." She laughs. Mel is probably the closest i'll ever be with anyone. She's got this beautiful mid length straight brown hair, and these crazy awesome green eyes. She is 5'8 and absolutely perfect with her lengthy legs and all. Her birthday is June 27th 1995. I swear she could be Andrea Russett's twin except shes four inches taller than her. Now me on the other hand I have long ridiculously curly orangey/gingerey/strawberry blonde hair. And green, yellow, and orange/gold eyes. I'm 5'4 and I'm 120 pounds. Here in Santa Monica pretty much everyone is fit. All the boys go to the beach and workout. And most of the girls come and droll over them. I don't do that, because most of the guys there are tools. I mean yes i have dated some of them and when I tell you they're all the same. THEY'RE ALL THE SAME!!! Its irritating! And i hate to put them all in the same category but I've dated guys that are in different groups and they're all after the same thing, sex. Which shouldn't surprise anyone. But I'm still waiting for someone to not want sex after the first couple of dates. But one of my best friends is the head tool. He's the captain of the football team, well captain of everything to be honest. And to say he is a dick to other girls in an understatement. The first thing i ask him is who are you with now? And i see him at least 3 times a week. He can't keep a relationship to save his life, but I love him endlessly. So we get down to the beach, and we go to the surf shack. "Hey Eddie!" I say excitedly. "Ashlynn, sweetheart how are you?" He asks. "Well I've been better. How are the waves?" I ask. "They're pretty rad." He says. "Perfect. Can I get the usual?" I ask. He nods his head and goes into the back. He comes back out with my usual. "Thanks!" I yell. I go down and set up my stuff. I slide on my full wet suit, and wait for the Mel and Lucas to get over here. The other girls, Britt and Keke don't surf. Once they get over here and get on their wet suits we all head down the the water and paddle out. We surf for about 3 hours, until we get hungry. "We need a picture!" Mel says excitedly. She gets Britt to take the picture of us. We take a few funny pictures, then Lucas' stomach growls. We laugh then take back the boards. Honestly surfing took so much out of us we don't even change before we eat. We penny board to Pier Burgers and order out food. We sit, eat, and laugh about things. Once we're finished they all go off and change and I clean up after them. Shocker... They're all so messy. I feel bad for the mess and clean up a little. Once I'm finished I go out and get on my penny board and start skating to the bathrooms. I check my phone and see a text from Mel. 'Where r u girl? I though you were right behind us!!!' She asks worried. "'Cleaned up after you slobs.' I text back. My focus changes when I hit someone. For some reason I grab onto whom ever it is and they grab me back. Once I fell the impact of the floor I open my eyes and see some guy on top of me. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry." He says getting off of me. "No it's my fault. I wasn't paying attention." I say as he helps me back on my feet. He's about to say something when some girl screams "OH MY GOSH!! IS THAT SHAWN MENDES?!" Then a group of girls start running and screaming towards us. He grabs my hand and I grab my penny board and we start running. We run and turn into a small alley. We go all the way to the back it's pitch black and he pushed his body against mine and puts a finger on my lip to tell me to be quiet. Once all of the screaming girls pass by his body untenses. He grabs my hand and pulls us back out. "Not to sound rude, but can I change quick." I ask before he says anything. "Yeah sure." He says and we discreetly walk to a unisex bathroom. We both walk in and lock the door behind us. I tell him to turn around as I quickly change. I thrown on a red bra and matching lace thong. Then I put on a green tank top that singes in just below the boobs and the has flowing material, then I slide on a white oversized knitted cardigan. And slide on a pair of dark was ripped short shorts. I put on my brown gladiator shoes and put my wet suit into a plastic bag and back into my bag. I then walk over and twist two front pieces of my hair back and pin them. "So my guess is your name is Shawn Mendes?" I laugh a little. "Yeah. I'm surprised you don't know me. But whats your name?" He asks smiling looking down at me. "My name is Ashlynn Anderson." I say smiling. "Well It's nice to meet you Ashlynn Anderson." He says putting out a hand. "It's nice to meet you to Shawn Mendes." I shake his hand and laugh. "Here give me your phone." He says. I take out my phone and hand it to him. "Here." He says extending the word while typing something into my phone. He hands it back to me and it says Shawn and it has his number underneath it. I quick text it and his phone buzzes. "Come with me." He says and I just follow him. We sneak through some girls that are still searching for him. He takes me into another Alley and up some stairs they made with objects from the alley. He gets on the roof and helps me up because I'm so short to jump. "Shawn." I pause in awe. He looks over at me nervously. "This is beautiful." I gush. I walk around and you can see everything. The beach, the boardwalk, the city, everything. He laughs a little. "I come up here when i need to think." he admits. "Here can you listen to something for me?" He asks. I nod my head and smile. He runs off and disappears for a minuet. When he comes back he has a guitar in his hand. He guides us over to the edge overlooking the ocean. We sit down and our feet dangle over the edge and he stares at me for a few seconds, and i stare back. He then starts playing some cords and then he starts singing. "I love it when you just don't care I love it when you dance like there's nobody there So when it gets hard, don't be afraid We don't care what them people say I love it when you don't take no I love it when you do what you want cause you just said so Let them all go home, we out late We don't care what them people say We don't have to be ordinary Make your best mistakes 'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry So baby be the life of the party I'm telling you to take your shot it might be scary Hearts are gonna break 'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry So baby be the life of the party." He keeps singing until the song is over. "That was, It was, Oh my gosh Shawn!" I say not being able to form a complete sentence. "So i take that as you liked it? Hopefully?" He says then bites his lip nervously. "Shawn! That was amazing! Your voice is so.. Oh my gosh." I say smiling. He looks down and blushes. My phone starts buzzing. "Hello?" I say. "Ashlynn where the hell are you?! We've been looking for you for like 2 hours!" Mel asks. "I'm with a friend. You guys go home I'll get a ride from him." I say. "Alright. Love you." She says "Love you to bae" I say, then hang up. "Was that your boyfriend?" He asks sadly. "No my best friend." I say smiling. We then just sit in silence and stare at each other. His phone starts buzzing."Hello?" he says then waits for the reply. "Yeah whatever." He says then hangs up. That didn't seem like a pleasant conversation. He goes back and puts his guitar away. Once he comes back I stand in front of him and hug him. He hugs back almost instantly. He feels so warm. And I can feel his heart beating in my ear. And it feels perfect. Once he pulls back he asks "What was that for?" "It just seemed like you needed it." I said. He fake laughs "Yeah." He says. He sits down and slides off onto the 'stairs'. "Come here, I got you. I promise." He says with his arms up. I go and he grabs my bridal style. I grab onto his shirt cause I'm terrified I might fall. "I got you don't worry." He smiles. His smile is so genuine that I feel like everything is going to be alright. He slowly lets me go and once I'm completely down I let go of his shirt. We shuffle around until he's in front of me and he starts making his way down, making sure I make it down okay every time. Once he gets to the last one he jumps off and he guides my body down. He sneaks us back out and to his car. He presses a few buttons and my butt gets warm. "Yes." I say extending the word. He just laughs his adorable laugh and starts driving. I turn on the radio and we start listening to music as I tell him where my house is. Once we get there he turns the car off and runs over to my door and opens it for me. "Why thank you kind sir." I laugh. He takes my hand and helps me out. We walk to my front door and stop. "Well tonight was fun." He says smiling. "It was interesting." I say making us both laugh. "So we're going to hang out soon. Tomorrow." He says. "Tomorrow it is i guess." I laugh a little, then yawn. "I should let you get to sleep." He says. Then brings me in for a hug. And i hug back. The same feeling in my stomach comes back. We both pull apart at the same time and I open my door. I give him one last smile. "Goodnight Shawn." I say, then close my door. I lean up against the closed door and smile. Then I run up the stairs and into my room. I quick change and thrown my hair up into a cute messy bun. I turn out all of my lights and turn on the Christmas one Then I turn on my TV and plug in my phone. Once I look at my screen I see i have a new message from Shawn. I unlock my phone "Goodnight beautiful. Sweet dreams.😚" I lock my phone and fall asleep thinking about how perfect today has turned out to be.
