In My Blood (Shawn Mendes)

Chapter 17: are you okay?

.........
Period one was over and the hallways were once again packed with insecure teens and preteens.

Shawn met Paige at her locker once again.

"You stalking me, Mendes?" Paige asked raising her eyebrows.

"Yes, I mean i'm serial dater after all." Shawn teased.

"Unofficial serial dater, you mean." Paige seriously said.

"Paige, you are something." Shawn stated his hand was nervously at his neck.

Paige raised her eyebrows, "I hope that's a good thing."

"Still trying to decide." Shawn grinned and shoved his hands in his pockets.

Paige narrowed her eyes, "Meany."

Shawn laughed.

"Shawn, don't you have to be somewhere?" Paige asked lightly.

"Why? You want me gone?"

"No! I just thought you'd be hanging with friends."

"I am hanging with..friend."

"Oh my gosh you know what i mean."

"Well a lot of my friends are on the hockey team.. and lets just say they havent quite kept up there grades so they have to do extra classes."

"You play hockey?" It was a dumb statement. Everyone played hockey.

"Yeah? You skate?"

Paige nodded, "and skateboard"

Shawn looked at her in astonishment. "That's so cool! You should teach me sometime."

"I feel like that'd end in disaster." Paige laughed thinking of Shawn face planting.

"Hey, I bet I'd be good at it!"

Paige's eyes widened and she raised her eyebrows. "Really? You really think that."

"I want to say yes but I don't want to jinks myself."

"Smart."

A boy came up behind Paige. Shawn waved and Paige turned around.
"Hey!" Shawn went in for the bro handshake thing.
The boy was taller then Paige but every boy usually was. He was shorter then Shawn. He was middle eastern with wide rimmed glasses, a nice haircut, jeans, a hoodie, and vans.

"This is Sayed." Shawn introduced Paige. She smiled, warmly.

"I'm Paige." She have a little wave.

Sayed nodded he and Shawn began to talk. Paige zones out and only got bits and pieces of the conversation. Something about the hockey team we're being idiots and how the lacrosse team were being idiots. Her ears pricked up when she heard jakes name.
"Yeah apparently he's back in the hospital."
Paige's eye's  widened.
"Oh no what happened?" Shawn asked.
Sayed shrugged. "Ehh I don't know. I think he hit his head or something." Sayed shrugged again.
They started talking about the hockey team. Shawn noticed that he hadn't been including Paige. He mentally face palmed.
"Paige," she looked up.
"Sayers actually the captain of the Hockey team." Shawn added.
Sayed nodded. "I am. Speaking of which I need to go fine he rest of the team." Before turning away Sayed said, "Oh shit I almost forgot. We're having an extra practice today."

"Hmm okay. I'll have to run home to get my gear."

"Oh okay. Practice is at 3!"  Sayed waved good by and started walking down the hall looking for the rest of the team to tell them the news of an extra practice.

"Hey Shawn I have to go." Paige said.

"Oh okay. Is everything okay?"

She shook her head. "I was supposed to see Jake yesterday but I didn't. I need to make sure he's okay."
Shawn nodded. "If you need a ride I drove my car today."

Paige gave him a small smile. "Thanks Shawn."

Paige gave him a little wave and walked out of the building with her phone in her hand.
She quickly called Jake hoping he'd pick up.
"Hello?"
"Jake!" She let out a breath of relief. "Are you okay? What happened?"
"Nothing really. I just kind of blacked out and hit my head in the bed."
Paige nooded and realized she should probably say something "okay and?"
"Well you know my dad he was worried so he drove me to the hospital while my mom was at work."
"So your okay?" Paige asked once more.
"Yeah yeah I'm fine." He grumbled. Paige rolled her eyes.
"Are you getting out?"
"Yeah soon. They just needed to make sure everything's okay. My heads fine, no concussion, just a bump."
She could hear the bell ring.
"Jake, I have to get to class but I'll try and see you tonight. Okay?"
"Okay. Bye."
He hung up.
She gathered her self together and ran to her locker throwing it open and getting her books. She ran down the hallway to her next class. She quietly opened the door and went in.
"You're late Miss. Bradford."
"Sorry," Paige huffed and sat in her seat, dreading the rest off the school day.
