The Rose // Shawn Mendes

~ The next day ~

I walk in to school and see Jenny waving at me. I walk up to her.

"Hey," I say.

"Okay but WHAT haven't you told me, excuse me Evelyn" She says and sounds kind of angry.

"What huh?"

"Jonathan! I overheard he talking to his friends saying he was going on a date with you tonight? Why the hell haven't you told me"

"I was going to but I just came here"

"Sure, but how long have this been going on?"

"We first talked yesterday"

"Ohh, ok now i'm happy again"

"Goshhh, did you really think I wasn't going to tell you?"

"You never know!" I laugh a little and then the bell rings and we all go to class.

~ After school at 5:30 ~

Okay now I'm almost ready to go. I'm honestly really nervous. I haven't been on a date in about three years. And then I was 14 years old. So that wasn't really serious.

While I wait for him I just sit in my bed texting Jenny.

Jenny
"I'm going to be there. Hiding so you won't see me"

Me
"Omg why lol"

Jenny
"I have to see if it goes well!"

Me
"Lmao idiot"

Then I get a text from Jonathan where he told me he was standing outside. I quickly took my jacket and my shoes and walked out, he stood in my driveway with a very nice car, it can't be his unless he's rich or something. I get in the car and we drive to the bowling alley.

We arrive and get out shoes and start bowling, we have a lot of fun and I've always been really bad at bowling, so he won obviously. After we finished the round we just sat in the sofa and talked for long. He was such a sweet guy!

He looks me deeply in the eyes and tries to lean closer to me, to kiss me. I'm not ready for that yet! I've just met him.

Even though I'm not really ready for it, I still let him kiss me. I kiss back and then he pulls back and smiled at me. It felt so good to be honest. I felt some kind of sparkle. We both stand up and walk out.

He drives me back home and we say goodbye. This have been the best night of my life to be honest. When I get to my room I immediately call Jenny.

"OMG HI HOW DID IT GO? TELL ME EVERYTHING" She yells.

"It went really well actually! He's really sweet and seems like he's really caring and all of that."

"OMgggg! Maybe I should try to get with one of his friends hA"

"That wouldn't surprise me haha"

"Shut up, btw did you kiss?"

"Yeah.. we did aha"

"OH MY GOD" She screams so loud holy shit. "OH MY GOD EVELYYYYN ok I ship you guys so bad now I can't even"

"Lol shut up, it's been one date"

"But it's definetly more if you guys kissed!"

"Maybe"

"But I have to go now, my mom is yelling at me"

"Okay bye" We then hang on.

I lay down in my bed just to think. He is really handsome and sweet. But I can't like him yet. I have just met him.

~ 9 months later, march ~

Me and Jonathan is now official, we dated for around 2-3 months before we actually became a couple. He's now on his last year of high school and it'll be sad to not see him every day. He's moving about two hours away to study.

Today is the day i'm leaving for Shawn concert in Oslo, it's not until tomorrow but its easier to go the day before so i don't have to stress. I am so ready! I have been talking to one of my internet friends who I met because of Shawn, and I'm so excited to finally meet her. The only problem is that I have to skip school, if it was in a weekend it would be a lot easier and I could have stayed in Oslo longer than just a few days. But since my friend also have M&G we can hang out all day.

"Wanna go to Burger King?" Jenny says.

"Would love to! I'm not leaving before some hours anyways" Then I could feel some hands on my waste, I turned around to see Jonathan. He kissed me, and smiled at me.

"Where are we going?" he says.

"Jenny invited me to Burger King, do you wanna join?"

"Of course, who says no to some burgers. But you know I prefer McDonalds though"

"Lol yeah I know, but right now we don't care about you"

"Woah calm down" I started laughing, then we walked out to the busses.

- at burger king -

"I'm going to miss you while you're gone" Jonathan says and hugs me.

"I'm gone for two days, chill" i say.

"Two days too long"

"It's nothing really! You'll survive lol"

"Not so sure about that" i laugh and playfully hit him.

We finish eating and then i leave for the airport. I text my friend who is from Bergen, she's also going to the concert and i'm so excited to finally meet her. We have been friends for years now but we have never met her. I'm meeting her at the airport in Oslo and I can't wait!

I check in and get on the plane, next stop: Oslo!
