The Story of how we met- A Shawn Mendes fanfiction

Contest

{Gracie's  P.O.V}

I have always been a fan of Shawn Mendes. I mean, who hasn't? I've always wondered what it would be like to have a private concert with him. Me and my friends Hazel, Olivia, and Serenity were scanning the web, when we came across a contest. "The winner gets to have Shawn perform at their school," I say reading out loud for my friends to hear. "We need to ask the school to see if we can do it," Hazel says. "She's right," Serenity and Olivia say. We all are in the 12th grade, we are all 18, and we all go to the same school.

*BEEEEEEP* *BEEEEEEP*

I wake up with a jolt, scared awake by my alarm. 'Why do I always forget that I set my alarm?' I ask myself. I lay in bed for a few more minutes, and let myself calm down. "Gracie! What are you doing still in bed?" my dad asks. "I'm trying to calm down. My alarm scared the crap out of me when it went off this morning," I say. "Goof," I hear my dad mumble. "I heard you!" I say in a offended voice.

I got up out of bed and went to use the restroom. Afterwards, I go and get a pair of clothes from my pile of clothes on my chair. I pick out a cute outfit, which was a pair of skinny, high waisted jeans, a t-shirt, and my tennis shoes. I go over to my dresser and brush my hair in the mirror. I trudge my way back to the bathroom to brush my teeth, do my makeup and put on perfume. I brush my teeth, then put on mascara and let it dry, and then I put on my Shawn Mendes signature perfume/cologne.

After I was done in the bathroom, I go to make my lunch. I put a pre-made pasta salad, some White Cheddar CHEEZ-ITS, and a few other things in my lunch bag and go gather up my book bag and clarinet case and put them all together. I look up at the clock and it says 7:20. I still had 10 minutes before we had to leave. I went and put on my shoes, made sure I had my key and all of my homework, and put all of my stuff in the car. I sat down on my bed, playing on my phone till we left. I was supposed to meet my friends at the school.

As me and my mom and sister pulled into the school parking lot, I saw Serenity, Hazel, and Olivia waiting for us. I kind of felt bad. When I got out, I ran right to them and attacked all of them with hugs. We all got inside, and went to the gym. The breakfast bell rang, and we all went to the band room so we could put our instruments up. Olivia and I play Clarinet, Hazel plays Flute, and Serenity plays Trumpet.

After we got back into the gym, the superintendent wanted to talk to us. "Don't worry, you guys aren't in trouble," Mr. Brown says. We all sigh with relief. "What did you want to talk to us about Mr.Brown?" Hazel asks. "Well, I know all four of you guys are fans of Shawn Mendes, and I wanted to tell you guys that we entered into the contest!" Mr.Brown exclaims. "OMG!!" all four of us girls exclaim. "The winner will get an email on Friday of when the concert is," Mr.Brown says. "We can't wait!" we girls say.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday felt like they flew by. By Thursday, the whole school knew that we had a chance of Shawn coming and performing at the school. Before we knew it, Friday had come, and the whole Middle School and High School was sitting in the gym for an assembly. " I wonder why Mr. Brown called us in here for," I hear a kid in my class say. It was loud in the gym, until Mr.Brown came on stage and said, "Attention Everybody!" and it became dead silent. "As you all know, I entered the school in a contest for a private concert with Shawn Mendes, and I have very good news," he says. "What is it?" I hear a kid yell out. "Well, the good news is that on next Tuesday, Shawn Mendes will be coming to perform at our school!" Mr.Brown exclaims. Hazel, Serenity, Olivia and I jump out of our seats screaming with joy.

" And since four students here are huge fans of Shawn, they'll get out of class that day to help set up for Shawn's arrival and they'll get to hang out with Shawn backstage after the concert and meet & greet, and everyone else will get out of class as well, " Mr. Brown says, "When I call your name, please come down here. Gracie Martin, Hazel Palmer, Serenity Desjardin, and Olivia Edwards." We all hop out of our seats and run on to the stage. " You four are the lucky four I mentioned earlier that get to hang out with Shawn after the concert and meet & greet!" Mr.Brown says. "Woo hooo!!" all four of us girls say. The school day went by fast, and so did the weekend.

Monday came around, and I was all jumpy and excited. I got into trouble a few times during class for daydreaming and not doing my class work. "Gracie! Stop daydreaming about your 'boyfriend' and do your work," my teachers snapped at me. I knew that when they said my 'boyfriend' they were referring to Shawn. I would always call him my boyfriend, even though we weren't dating. The end of the school day came to an end, and even though it wasn't Friday, everyone was acting like it.
