All I want | Shawn Mendes

Chapter 38

I arrive at school and I take a deep breath as I look for Grayson. It feels like everyone is staring at me, like they're all judging me. I'm being paranoid, I'm being paranoid. "It's okay, it's okay" I say to myself quietly as I attempt to calm myself down. I see him. Grayson's face is still bruised up and he looks like he's in deep thought as he looks into his locker. "Hey" I say as I walk over to him and he snaps out of his trance and looks at me and a smile comes over his face. "Hey" he replies and he genuinely sounds happy. "What happened with Shawn?" He asks desperately and I take a deep breath as I prepare myself to explain. I then go into a long explanation of what happened last night and the whole time Grayson was quiet as he took in all this information. "Messy huh?" I conclude. "Yeah just a bit, look I'm busy all day today with training, wanna hang out after school?" Grayson asks and he seems.. nervous? "Uh Yeah id love too, where shall I meet you?" I ask as I feel myself blushing. "Alberts? You know the diner-" "Yeah I know what it is" I cut in. Alberts isa diner that me and Shawn used to always go to when we used to date, it was like our special place. Butterflies begin to flutter in my stomach, I haven't been there since me and Shawn were dating. "Yeah I'll see you there" I say with a fake smile and then I walk away and I make eye contact with Tom. Tom looks like he's stuck on what to do, if he should smile or not. He does and so do I and I decide to go over to him. "Hi" I say and he looks up at me and says "hi". "Look I don't want me and Shawn's argument to effect us because we've been friends too for a long time and I don't want to lose you either" I explain and Tom looks up at me and smiles, he smiles with relief. "Yeah, I agree" he says. "Ok, ok great" I say smiling and full of relief, I'm glad I'm not loosing everyone. I continue walking and I make eye contact with Cheryl.
