Shawn Mendes Imagines

Neighbours

Your POV

"Y/n, sweetie! Can you please come down here" My mum yelled from the bottom of the stair case of our new home. 

Putting down the brown box I was currently holding that was labelled 'Y/n's Room' I walked out of my new bedroom and went to see my mum in the kitchen. I carefully walked around the dozens of boxes in the kitchen careful not to tip anything over. It's like a maze inside my new house, literally there are boxes and unwrapped furniture everywhere, you can't even see the floor in my brothers room. I mean that's partly because he started unpacking his things and by unpacking I mean opening his boxes and throwing everything across his room and before you ask, my brother is not 5 he is 17 for god sake.

"Yeah mum, what did you need?" I asked my mum who was standing by the kitchen island with a plate of muffins in her hand.

"Can you please go take this over to the neighbours house and introduce us? Please?" I took the plate of muffins from her causing her to smile out of gratitude.

"Oh thank you thank you thank you! Y/n please be nice as well" she looked at me sternly.

"Me? What are you talking about I'm always nice" I told my mum putting a hand to my heart.

"Oh and just giving you a heads up, a boy lives there around your age and he's pretty cute" She winked at me before leaving the house to get more boxes.

Oh great, that's exactly what I need. My mum to swoop in and play cupid. Note the sarcasm. Last time she tried to play cupid was when I was in the 7th grade, my mum tried setting me up with her friends son who is a year older than me. Don't get me wrong he's really nice and funny and also good looking, I mean we're actually friends till this very day, but it would never have worked out between us, at least not like that. You see my mum never quiet got it, the fact that her friends son, Ian, is gay. Yeah my mum doesn't have the best gaydar.

Walking up their porch steps I rang the doorbell to be greeted by a little girl with brown hair probably 10 or 11. "Hi, my name is Aaliyah, who are you? Are you Shawn's girlfriend?" She smiled at me. Aww she's so cute.

"Uh no, actually I just moved in next door and I just came with a peace offering. I hope you like muffins?" I smiled at her showing her the plate of muffins I brought with me.

"Oh I love muffins and so does my brother! Do you like muffins?" She questioned me, boy she sure has a lot of energy for a ten year old.

"Yes I do! would you look at that we have something in common already" I smiled at her politely. She grabbed my hand and pulled me inside the house.

"Follow me! I'll take you to the kitchen where you can put the muffins down" She still held onto my arm dragging me behind her. 

Looking around I saw a lot of photo's on the walls in the hallway, a lot of photos of her with her brother and parents, school photos, vacation photos and even little baby photos too.

"Oh Aaliyah who's this? Hi I'm Karen Aaliyah's mother" She stuck out her hand and shook mine.

"Hi I'm y/n, I just moved in next door and I came over to say hi and bring you these as a peace offering" She looked at the plate in my hands.

"Oh muffins, I can tell you are going to get along with this family just fine" she smiled at me taking the plate from my hands and setting it on the counter.

"So y/n, tell me about your family? How many people are there because I was actually going to send my son over to ask if you guys would like to join us for dinner" I smiled at her and told her about my family.

"Well there's me, my twin brother Dylan, my little sister Ariella, who is probably the same age as Aaliyah, there are my parents, my mum Melissa and my dad David and our family dog Jax" 

"Well I would be honoured to have your family over, but unfortunately your dog won't be able to come over my son's allergic" She stated as she turned back to the stove to resume her cooking.

"Oh Jax won't be a problem, we'll just leave him at home, he's not a very active dog anyways" I smiled at her telling her that I'll go tell my parents and that we should be able to come over for dinner.

"Alright sweetie, dinner is ready at 6:30, I'll see you then" She turned back to her cooking and asked Aaliyah to show me out.

"Bye y/n I'll see you soon!" I waved at Aaliyah and left her house. As I was walking down there driveway I felt a pair of eyes on me so I turned around and right there I saw a boy my age looking through his curtains. When he saw that I caught him staring his eyes went wide and he immediately shut his curtains. Chuckling to myself I walked back to my house and told my family about how we were invited over for dinner next door at the Mendes residence.
