Bad Reputation. ||Shawn Mendes ||

Thoughts

*Shawn's Pov*

"Alex," I yell jumping off the rock. I look at her and she is laughing her head off, " Why are you laughing?"

"It's just you made a really funny face," She says in between giggles.

Damn that laugh.

"Are you okay?" I ask reaching out my hand.

"Yeah," She says pulling me down beside her.

Are faces are inches apart. Luckily I put my arms out or I would have squished her. I stay there for a second looking in her eyes. I realise I have probably looking at her for to long so I lay down beside her. We lay there in silence for a long time but it's not awkward.

"What time is it?" Alex asks.

"6.22," i say looking at my phone.

"Shit," She says sitting up.

"What?" i ask standing up and pulling Alex up.

"Owww," Alex screaches grabbing her ankle, "i have to be home in 40 minuets and the walk is 35 minuets and we need to get back to the school and then i will be late and my ankle really hurts."

"It's going to be okay," I say, "Here get on my back."

I bend down and Alex gets on my back. I walk as quick as I can down the trail to her car. When we get there Alex gives me her keys and I help her in the car. I then start driving back to the school.

"Grab whatever you need, I'll give you a lift home and then bring you to school tomorrow," I say jumping out of her car and she nods.

She grabs her bag and something from the glove compartment. I then carry her bridal style to my car which is the exact same Jeep as hers just mine is black and hers is blue. We get in and we head out of the car park. Every now and then she tells me the direction to go. I feel her staring at me so I glance at her.

"What?" I grin.

"Nothing.... it's just I haven't been this open to a person I just met in a long time," She smiles looking out the window.

I don't know how to respond so I just look straight ahead with a little grin on my face. We pull up to a house and Alex says that it is her house. I get out and I go help Alex. We walk to the door and Alex realises she left her house key in her car so she rings the doorbell.

"Alexandra Ellie Jones where were," a lady says but stops when she notices me, "Who is this?"

"Shawn, he is...... He helped me get home because I hurt my ankle," Alex says, "Thanks Shawn see you tomorrow," She says stepping inside and shutting the door.

I walk back to my car not knowing what to think. What was she going to say about me? Why did she change her mind? I drive home which isn't that far away. The whole way I think about her. Why can't I get her out of my mind? What is it about her?

"Fuck," I yell as I pull up to my house. I forgot to get her number how am I going to know what time to get her at?

I walk inside feeling so annoyed. I put on a smile and I walk into the kitchen where my mum is making dinner with Aaliyah.

"hey hun, how was your day?" My mum asks.

"It was good," I grin thinking about Alex.

"Oooooo he met a girl," Aaliyah says.

"What! No I didn't," I defend myself.

"I know you Shawn you met a girl, What is her name, what is she like, is she pretty?" Aaliyah asks.

"Fine her name is Alex, she gave mw a tour around the school, that's it," I say licking the spoon of the sauce my mum is making.

"A tour that ended at 7 o'clock?" My mum questions.

"And you didn't answer two of my questions," Aaliyah moans.

"Well not exactly," I say ignoring Aaliyah.

"What do you mean?" Aaliyah asks.

"After the tour she brought me to this place called the spot which is a view point that looks over Toronto. Then she hurt her ankle so I brought her home," I say.

"You still haven't answered my questions," Aaliyah says.

"Did you kiss her?" My dad says walking into the room.

"No I did not kiss her, Yes she is pretty and she seems kind of... damaged... like she has been through something, now can you stop grilling me?" I say not wanting to talk about it anymore.

"I have one more question," Aaliyah says

"What?" I moan.

"Did she know who you were?" Aaliyah asks.

"She knew of me from her sister but she didn't know it was me until I told her/ a fan asked for a photo," I grin thinking about the reaction the had.

"Dinners ready," my mum says snapping me out of my thoughts.

We have dinner then I go up to my room. I lay on my bed and I take out my phone. I start looking through the comments of the photo I posted saying something is coming soon. One comment stands out to me though.

The.Real.Alex_Jones : Can't wait stitches boy.

It's Alex.

ShawnMendes : @The.Real.Alex_Jones really stitches boy!

I then click on her account and she is private. Fuck. I request to follow her then I click to direct message her and I sit there for a minuet trying to think of what to say.

Shawn- I will get you back for calling me stitches boy.

Alex- OMG the Shawn Mendes just Dm'd me and has requested to follow me!!!!

Shawn- Ha ha very funny.

Alex- I know.

Shawn- How's your ankle?

Alex- sprained.

Shawn- Oh no.

Shawn- What time do you want me to pick you up tomorrow?

Alex- Em.. like 7.45

Alex- I kind of give my sister a ride to school so can she come too?

Shawn- sure

Alex- I also haven't told her about who you are, she only knows you as Shawn, the guy who helped me get home, so tomorrow will be interesting

Shawn- I think that's inevitable.

Alex- I have to go my mom wants me for something.

Shawn- night.

Alex- Night.

I see that she has excepted my follow request and has started to follow me. I scroll through her photos. The first one she posted was a year ago of her sitting under the tree beside the bench we were sitting at earlier. I like some of the photos and then I get ready for bed.

I lay down in bed and all I can do is think about Alex. Why does she not open up to people? What damaged her? Who damaged her? Why is she driving me crazy? What got her a bad reputation.

I fall asleep consumed by my thoughts.
