"Nicole! If you don't get out of bed right now you're going to be late for school!" My mom's words blasted in my ear as I rolled over, completely falling off my bed. I was now laying face down on my bedroom floor dreading getting up for school.
"Goodness Nicole I think I'm going to have to put baby guards on your bed so you don't fall off." she laughed. I flipped onto my back and rolled my eyes. She left my room and I decided to get up and shower. After spending a good 10 minutes in the steaming shower, I got out and brushed out my hair. I have light brown, pin straight hair that fell to the middle of my back. I left it to air dry. The only makeup I wear to school is some coverup over a few pimples forming near my hairline. Since it was mid September I decided to put on a maroon skirt, plain black crop top, and black doc martins. My phone read 7:15 and I had 3 new texts. One was from my best friend Sophie and its read 'NICKI! did you hear?! there's a new kid coming to our school today!' I texted her back 'who? girl or boy?' She instantly replied 'boy!' I didn't reply and threw my phone in my backpack. I ran downstairs and grabbed a protein bar. The clock read 7:30. "SHIT" I yelled as I ran out the door. "Bye sweetie have a great day!" my mom yelled from the balcony.
"Love you!" I relied and slammed the door to my car. I was trying to change the radio station as I was backing out of my driveway when all of the sudden I heard a loud thud and immediately slammed on the breaks. OH MY GOSH! DID I HIT SOMETHING?! I ran behind my car and saw a boy on the ground! "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! Are you ok?!" I said frantically.
"Yeah I'm fine." He said and turned to look at me.
"I'm honestly so sorry I didn't see you walking behind my car!" I said pleadingly.
"Don't worry about it. It's all good!" He said as I lent him my hand and helped him stand up. I looked at his face and hey, it's not a bad looking face. He looked about my age too. He looked at me with a smirk on his face, like I should know some information or something. I was so confused... maybe he hit his head.
"I'm Nicole by the way" I said flashing him a smile.
"Hey Nicole, I'm Shawn. Nice to meet you." He smiled back. He had a perfect smile. Woah. I looked at my phone really fast. "omg it's already 7:40!" I panicked.
"Do you go to Northbrook High school?" He asked me.
"Yeah, do you?" I asked back. He nodded. "You're gonna be really late if you plan on walking, it will take you like 30 minuets." I laughed.
"Ah damn." He looked down.
"Do you want a ride?" I asked, walking to the drivers side.
"Yes! Thank you." He got in the passenger side.
I drove carefully, considering I just hit a person. I turned up the radio and the song Blank Space by Taylor Swift came on. I don't realize I was quietly singing to myself until Shawn laughed and said "you're singing isn't bad."
"Isn't bad? I doubt you're singing is any better." I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes.
"Actually, I'm kind of a singer myself." He replied.
"Back in canada, I was known for my singing." He chuckled.
"Wait are you the new kid?" I turned looked at him with a puzzled look.
"Yeah I just moved here from Canada."
"That's actually so cool! Where do you live?" I asked trying not to sound like a stalker.
"Next door to you actually. That's where I was walking from when you hit me." He laughed again.
"Sorry again for that." I looked down.
"It's all good. I guess it's a way to meet my neighbors." He replied, making me feel better.
"So tell me about yourself, what brings you to Los Angeles?" I asked.
"I'm 16 years old, I like to sing, I taught myself how to play the guitar, but I'm not very good at it though. I have 1 younger sister and I live with her and my parents. That pretty much sums up my life." He smiled, "Tell me about you."
"I'm also 16 and I also like to sing low key though, I'm on the school dance team and cheerleading team. I have an older sister and a younger brother. And that's about it." I said, I felt like I was rambling on.
"wow, we have a lot in common" he said sincerely. I smiled and pulled into the last spot in the school parking lot.
I walked Shawn to the deans office because it was his first day at school. Almost everyone in the all looked at us and I swear about 50 people people said hi to me. He got his schedule and I read it.
"Hey we have 2nd, 3rd, lunch, and 10th period together!" I said overly excited.
"Haha, I guess I'll see you 2nd period then!" He laughed and walked to his 1st period class. Sophie and Emily ran over to me, freaking out.
"OMG! YOU KNOW SHAWN MENDES?!" Emily said, practically out of breath.
"Yeah, why?" I was confused once again.
"Omg he's only the biggest up and coming singer on vine!" Sophie said, expecting me to know that info.
"Oh sorry I don't really keep up with vine" I said.
"Nicki, he's the guy I always talk about he's so good at singing!" She freaked.
"Oh, well he's my new neighbor so that's cool." I relied.
"You're so lucky! He's a total babe!" Emily said, fangirling over him.
"I gotta get to class, see you guys at lunch!" I said and hugged them goodbye.
I walked into first period and sat in my desk. I finished all my English work so I went on Twitter and looked up Shawn Mendes. I was stunned. He has 2 million followers! Who is this guy? I dropped the follow then put my phone in my backpack.
