"Amy come on" my dad shouts. Sending my dad a glare I walk towards my grandma giving her a hug goodbye. "Guess who going with you hon" Grann says sweetly while giving me a hug.
"Who?" I ask more confused then when I do math.

 I start thinking of who It could be, Shawn ? No, why would he come we've know each other for like 3 month now I doubt his mom would let him come. Plus my dad hates him now. "Me" i hear a voice say taking me out of my thoughts. I turn to see 15 year old Connor Martinez my best friend in the whole wide world. "WAIT REALLY" I say all hyped up. "I'm going to school with you for the year and then in the summer I'm coming back here."
He says as he pulls on my hand happily dragging me to the car.

Me- hey do you wanna hangout today 😊

Sweetheart- Shawn. me and Connor are very happy. I would appreciate if you would
please get out of our life.

Me- sure thing.

She doesn't mean that does she? I thought she liked me "who?" My little sis say but I ignore her. " I'm going over there" I say out loud "going where Shawn" my sister Aaliyah says "can I go"
"no .... Mom!" I call upstairs "I'm going to go talk to Amy is that alright "

As I come up the drive i see Amy and Connor. Him pulling her excitedly to the car. He's  holding her hand... and look how happy she is. I start to turn around walking away.

Come on come on" he rushes her excitedly, "wait where's my phone I want to text Shawn goodbye!" "It's in the car already" he replies.

  A big smile lighting up my face, I turn around, calling her "Amy!" "Shawn!" she says excitedly pulling free of Connor's hand running towards me with a smile on her face like the text didn't happen. 
She is almost to me when she trips falling in the muddy snow, Connor comes rushing but I just stare coldly at him helping her up. "Shit" she cusses rubbing her wrist "her white sweater and light jeans ruined. "Are you okay" yeah I just landed on my hand. " she says chuckling " I don't even know what I tripped on." "Amy! We got to go" Connor shouts causing her dad to come out on the porch "what is hap-" he pauses seeing me holding Amy. 

"Amy I told you to STAY AWAY FROM THAT BOY!" He booms furious "come on" she says as I let go of her. Grabbing my hand she starts to run off pulling me behind her " where are we going "I ask frantically as we round the corner
"I don't know I'm just running," she says breathlessly. "We can go to my house " I suggest as we get to the fork in the road.  "Okay" she replies as I lead the way.

 Sooner or later we get to the house. "I'm gonna warn you now my fam-" she cuts me off "can't be any worse then mine Shawn" she giggles. God her laugh is so cute. 

"Mom, dad  Aaliyah I'm home " I call out as we walk into the house. 

 "And who's this lovely  lady" my dad says "I'm Amy nice to meet you Mr. Mendes" she says giving my dad a smile "oh Amy is so good to see you why, Shawn always talks about you I was starting to wonder if you were real" my mom says Chuckling. "Mommmm" I whine, causing Amy to giggle. "Yes, I'm Amy. Nice to meet you Mrs. Mendes." Amy replies "please call me Karen" she says with a smile on her face. "What happened are you alright" my mom asks worriedly, seeing her shirt all dirty. "Yeah I'm fine i just tripped"  "oh well Shawn why don't you take her up to Aaliyah's room so she can get clothes!"

 On the way up the stairs she asks "can I just wear something of yours 10 year old girlie clothes really aren't my type " 
Making us both chuckle . "yeah follow me" I say leading her to my room. " we get into my room as I lay sweats and one of my t shirts on the bed. "You play guitar?"  she questions "yeah I want to be a singer someday" I say smiling at the thought. "Can you play something for me? Pleasseeeee" she says dragging out the end of please. I sigh "maybe" "Shawn" she pleads  "fine in a minute I need to go get something" i say then walk out the door and downstairs to the guest room where I keep all my guitars. 

opening  the closet door I decide that ill play kid in love for her. seeing all the fan art and all the memories from last year .

 I slide out the old case from the closet causing me to cough from the dust. I set it on the side and unlatch  the old buckles. Taking out the shiny black guitar which is still good as new.  I strum the beginning chords to, kid in love to find that it's not that out of tune. Walking out of the room tuning the guitar, my mom gasps " Are you going to start playing again" she asks excitedly. I just shrug my shoulders in response.  I continue walking up the stairs strumming a few cords i find its now in tune. 

I walk into my room to see Amy patiently waiting, when she sees me she smiles and I start to play kid in love, sitting down on the end of my bed

And I know that we just met
And maybe this is dumb
But it feels like there was something
From the moment that we touched
'Cause, it's alright, it's alright
I wanna make you mine
The way you're lightin' up the room
Caught the corner of my eye
We can both sneak out the back door
We don't have to say goodbye
'Cause, it's alright, it's alright
To waste time tonight
Maybe I'm just a kid in love
Maybe I'm just a kid in love
Oh, baby
If this is what it's like falling in love
Then I don't ever wanna grow up
Maybe I'm just a kid in love
Maybe I'm just a kid in love
Oh, baby
It'd be cool if it's the two of us
But I don't ever wanna grow up ...

As I finish the last chord she has a big smile on her face "oh Shawn! that was beautiful" she gushes with admiration.

  "sorry if i messed up on some spots I haven't played in little over a year" I say chuckling 

"oh... why did you stop" she questions "I wanted to focus on hockey" I reply learning the guitar against the wall.  'That's a lie and you know it you stopped because of her' I think feeling my heart sink I shake the thought away.  "SHAWNNNNNN " I hear a little kid screech immediately knowing who it is, " hey Liyah " I say as she runs into my room. "Who is she?" my little sister says sassily giving her a judgy look. 

"psst.. We like her " I whisper yell to liyah making Amy giggle " oh okay" she says all cheery jumping on the bed next to Amy. "Hi! My name's Aaliyah" she says with a big smile on her face making Amy and I both chuckle. " nice to meet you, I'm Amy," the other girl replies, giving my sister a smile. Liyah turns to me and "whispers" " I like her she's nice" 

'I do to I' think chuckling out loud.
"Hey liyah would you go get me a water down stairs" she nods her head while getting off the bed.  A few minutes later I hear mom yell dinner. "Do you want to eat with us? " I offer to Amy. "Sure " she says "thank you!" "no problem" I reply walking down stairs with Amy following, I look back to see a big smile on her face.

"why yah so happy honey" I ask her calling her a cute  nickname. The one I called her when she ran into me at a hockey game.
