All the way to Serenade her // Shawn Mendes

Chapter 20

Quinn's Pov

I just can't help, but feel like school is going by extra fast ever since prom season started. Everyone is all "in love" you could say.

I can't help also, but feel like everyone looks down on me. That's because I'm basically the only girl who hasn't got asked. I can't stand it, but whoever said I had to go to prom.

The thing is there is usually this group of girls who don't get asked. Then they all go together as friends, or the completely boycott the whole thing. I better start making friends with them.

So far the only good thing that has been happening is that Shawn and I are getting really close. He's told all these things that I never knew about him. Don't get me wrong, I've shared my part of facts.

Nothing knew has happened lately between us. That's good I supposse, oh I also dyed my hair blonde. Well more like bleached it, but it's blonde.

Shawn's always complements me on my hair.

I pulled up into the school, and made my way to my locker.

"Hey hey hey." Veronica mused.

"Hello," I politely respond back. "Have you got a date for prom?"

She raised an eyebrow,"Why?"

I shrugged,"Do I have to have reason?"

She nodded,"Couldn't hurt?"

"Are you serious?" I asked sternly. "C'mon tell me."

She didn't give in.

"Do you have a date for the prom?" I asked repeated.

She smirked,"You'd like to know, huh?"

I'm taking that as a no. She is such a procrastinator, and never gives me a straight answer. We were about to turn the corner when someone pulled Veronica to the side.

"Shawn?" I heard her say.

"Hi Veronica. So I was uh wondering if you could or would uh-" He was interrupted.

"Are you about to ask me what I think you are?" Her voiced cracked

What prom? I felt my heart leap out of my chest, and on the floor leaving me to die. I ran to the restroom going into a stall. I sat there crying for a bit thinking about everything. How could I have been so mistaken? I just don't get any of this. We flirted, talked a lot, and about everything else. I truly thought he could have liked me. Then I thought of all of the things he said to describe that girl when we were at the park. They all seemed to fit Veronica, except the weird hair one. Veronica has beautiful brown chestnut color, that's long. It all made sense now. Was that the reason she wouldn't give me straight answer because she knew Shawn was going to ask her. I heard footsteps then quickly cleaned myself up. I opened up the stall door,but accidentally pinched my pinky.

"Ow!" I yelped.

"There you are Quinn. Wait a second, were you crying?"

"Oh when I pinched my pinky I cried a little it hurt." I say while showing her my pinky.

Veronica nodded,"Cmon we are late for class."

I don't understand how I could be normal with her. Then again I never actually told anyone that I liked Shawn. I have kept everything bottled up inside of me.

Lunch finally came around. I still don't sit with her, but occasionally she sits with me. I'm still at the same table I've been sitting at.
