never ever had I thought

Chapter 32

The door opens and breaks the magical spell, that was cast upon us. It's the pretty girl I think I somehow have seen before.

''Hey Laur'' Shawn greets her, still with my hand in his. Laur? Maybe Lauren? Also her name sounds familiar.

''Hi, just wanted to let you know people are questioning why you two are in here for such a long time''

''Oh'' is all that comes out of both me and Shawn's mouth. It doesn't take long for my cheeks to turn pink this time. Shawn's does the same.

Lauren smiles apologising and goes back to the party, leaving the door ajar.

Shawn turns toward me getting back to the original matter of this little fight or whatever. 

''Forgive me?''

''You're a mean kid Shawn. Mean''

Shawn shakes his head ''You're the kid here, remember?''

''That was just my mind playing tricks with me'' I tell myself as I reach Ali and Maddie by the couch.

''Nope'' Maddie says not taking her eyes away from the wall.

''Everyone looking at you coming out of the bedroom? No.'' Ali adds also not taking her eyes from the wall. I look to see why they find looking into a wall so attractive. And then I see why. More than 40 wands are filling the white wall almost from bottom to top. If you look closely you'll see each one is signed by The Harry Potter cast.

''One...'' Ali says. ''Two..'' I say. ''...Three.'' Maddie finish and we all force our gaze away. We bump down on the white couch.

''How can you go to Canada, without wanting to, and become...whatever with the most handsome person in this world in less than three weeks?'' Maddie asks. Just sounding a little jealous.

It is maybe a little odd if you think about it. But according to my dad it wouldn't have been long before we'd seen The Mendes family anyway. They've invited us over for christmas, but I don't tell my friends quite yet. ''Teach me!'' she continues.

I take a sip of my beer. ''I'm lucky I guess''

''And you talk to him without fainting. I'm kinda glad he called Ali and not me''

How did he get Alison's number? I'm almost sure he has never had my phone in his hands without me being there. Did my dad have something to do with this?

''Do you know who that girl is?'' I ask Maddie and discreetly points towards Lauren. If anyone knows, it's her.

''Who, Lauren?'' She asks. I nod.

''Shawns high school sweetheart?''. 

Right! I remember the cute prom pictures Maddie showed my on instagram. 

''Why? Is she trying something? Should I punch her?'' Maddie asks calm, despite her words.

Ali change the subject, but not for the better.

''Shawn's staring at you? What happened in there?''

I look and catch Shawns eyes. He smiles before returning to his conversation with Lauren.

''Did something happen?'' Maddie pushes.

I empty me glass and stand up. ''I need a new drink''

''Oh, it's that juicy?'' They say, but let me go to the 'bar'.

Matt is standing at the bar on his own, looking at Shawn and Lauren with longing eyes.

''What's up Jess?'' He throw his arms up in the air and act as I did not see the look. If I'm right those eyes were not meant for Shawn, but his ex.
