Somehow Suddenly... | Shammy // Shaylor

2 | Mendes

I woke up with the sun rays hitting my eye life as I rubbed them a little. I'm not sure what time I fell asleep, I just woke up knowing that I was super tired still. The day still had to go on though.

I looked over to my nightstand with my phone vibrating rapidly.

"You carpooling today!" my best friend yelled though the phone after I answered.

"Look I'm running a little late. Unless you want to be late too then you'll have to wait for me." I mentioned.

"We have first period together and I'm out of gas" he paused. "Sooo fine. Don't take so long." Taylor replied, hanging up immediately.

I let the essential actions happen. Put on a white cuffed sleeve shirt, slim khakis, and straight black vans. I combed my hair to one side, brushed my face then teeth and, one press down of a random cologne, and grabbed my backpack to throw around my back and walked out of my room, locking the door.

I usually take my guitar with me but I'm feeling gloomy today so I'd rather not carry that along with me feeling exhausted.

My car keys were hanging on the rack by the door which I took and left off with. I was on my way to pick up Taylor until I remembered something.

Shit. My sister. I forgot to take her to school. She starts school earlier than me, zero period to sixth. As I junior, stressed and almost done with credits, I stuck with first period. Anyways, usually I would take her to school and just hang around or stop by Taylor's until first period started but I woke up late, completely unaware that I needed to get us to school on time.

My moms car was gone. I possibly assumed that she went to take my sister to school. My sister is never late for anything.

I was realizing that I was wasting time just standing in front of my house door so I end up leaving. I'm sure she's at school already.

On my way to Taylor's house.

I called him and started honking my car horn out front because like I said, in a hurry to get to school.

"Babes stop honking I'm on my way!" Taylor yelled, inching his hands out like 'why the fuck' type of appeal. I continued to honk just for fun and that's when he started walking slower and threatened to throw his backpack at my car. "Just get in!" I yelled.

He hopped in the passenger seat. "Morning Mendes!"

I slightly smiled and wiped my face with my palms. "Don't be so loud. I'm barely processing."

That's when he put his hand towards the radio's volume knob. The sound kept increasing. "Taylor please." I spoke under the tone of the music.

"WHAT SHAWNY BOO. CAN NOT HEAR YOU." he purposely shouted.

It was a random song that my friends recorded. I even think they're better than that Sam guy but supposedly they're friends

I continued to drive and I eventually heard myself singing to the chorus along with Taylor rapping.

I knew yeah, I knew

Baby girl yeah, I knew

Let go we're all watching

Let this beat inside and take control

Get off the road

You're into a place

nobody knows you're going

Go on breathe

Let your mind wonder

Thinking all these thoughts

You're mind always fonders

Come with me

I lowered the music laughing louder than what was necessary, "Taylor we're here!"

"I think I just heard the final bell!" I drew attention to the school while pointing at the building.

"Well get out babes, lets go to class."

We snuck into our first period, Taylor didn't think she would notice us walk in since the door was already open and the teacher was too busy talking to some guy in a maroon shirt, was signing papers.

Right when Taylor sat down, I took a seat behind him and immediately put wrapped my arms together on the desk and buried my head in it.

"Well good morning Shawn!" the teacher called over as Taylor turned around to pat my head because I was still covering up. "Come late and put your head down? I need to speak with you."

I started to lift my head and rub my eyes with my palms, my eyes still blurry. I didn't bother looking up, just playing with the back of Taylor's seat. He started to back me up, "If you want to speak to him, there's nothing wrong with saying it to the whole class."

"Uhg Taylor..." I weeped.

"Shawn. You're going to be assisting this young man around school because he's a new student, obviously."

I heard some girls gasp.

My eyes gazed through my lashes. It was that Sam Wilk guy, maroon shirt, simple shorts and a pair fresh nike sb.

I sighed and looked back down. Taylor started coming close and whispering to me, "He's cute."

"Shut up man." I said in a joking manor, a bit too loudly. "I don't even want to help this guy out. Why do viral people get better treatment than regular individuals?" I spoke to the class.

"That's it Shawn. You are helping him. I emphasize. Now tell me why you and Taylor were late." she demanded.

She was a nice teacher but I don't understand why she was being so harsh on just this day. "It's a Monday okay." I snapped and walked out without mentioning a word.
