If I Was Pretty(Shawn Mendes fanfic)

Chapter 3

It was 2:15. School should be letting out soon. I decided to go to Starbucks as I wait for Allison.

I ordered what I wanted, payed the lady and sat at a table alone. The place was empty. Until I heard a ding, someone just walked in. I didn't bother looking at who it was.

"Skipping school, are we?"

"What do you want Mendes?"

"Oh harsh."

"Sorry."

"It's cool."

"You've never talked to me before. I get rejected and now I'm visible to you?"

"Lyri-"

"You're one of the most popular boys in school. You can sing, you're attractive, you're on your journey of being an Internet sensation, why are you talking to an ugly nobody like me?"

"Whoa, Lyric"

"I don't even want to know. See you around, Shawn." I got up, threw my drink away and walked out.

Shawn's POV

I have got to get this girl to open up to me. She seems so broken and insecure, I have to know why. She's beautiful. I have to know her.

Lyric's POV

I walked home since school is over and my dad won't suspect I skipped.

I walked in the house.

"School called." Dad said.

"Oh?"

"Said you weren't there in any classes today."

"Shit." I muttered.

"You skipped school?" He was slurring his words. Great, he was drunk.

I nodded.

"This is why you're stupid. You skip all your classes, you're never going to get into a good college." He screamed as he kicked my leg making me fall to the floor. I picked myself up.

"I'm sorry dad."

"You should be, you fucking idiot." He slapped me across the face, hard.

"Dad, stop. I said I was sorry."

"You skipped school to hang out with a boy didn't you? You're a whore like that, aren't you?!" He screamed.

A punch to the eye.

"You're a disappointed to this family! Your mother would be so upset!" A punch to the stomach. He finally stopped and left.

I went to my room and looked at myself in the mirror. Makeup can't fix all of the bruises and marks. Oh no.
