Never Be Alone//Shawn Mendes

"My house is just a few blocks down, so it's a quick ride." I jumped into the passenger seat of Shawn's Jeep with a giddy smile. I'm so glad Emily got me my partner. Who wouldn't want Shawn as theirs? He was cute, and smart, and cute...

"Do you want a coffee?" Shawn asks, shaking me out of my thoughts. He had pulled into Starlight Cafe. I silently nod as he runs to my side of the car to open my door.

"Why thank you, good sir," I say blushing. I have to stop this blushing habit for heaven's sake.

"Anytime, pretty lady." Shawn smiles and we walk into the coffee shop. The smell of warm baked goods and roasted coffee hits me like a wave.

"Mmm..." I mumble.

"Yea, this is the best place for breakfast or a coffee. No one really knows about it though." He orders a small hot French vanilla and a blueberry muffin. I have no idea what to order.

"Uh..I'll have the same." I look at Shawn and he's smiling.

"That will be $8.74." The cashier says in a bland voice. Shawn puts down a 10. We grab our drinks and walk out into the chilly autumn day.

"Should I pay you back? I feel bad that you bought." I look in my wallet but I only have a 1.

"Hey it's no problem. It's the guy's job to pay anyways." Shawn looks at me, horrified. "I didn't mean it like that."

I burst out laughing and Shawn loosens up, laughing too. I can already tell this project is going to be fun.

Shawn's room is a cozy little space. It's navy blue, just like mine. His bed is huge, with a black comforter.

"Your room is so cozy," I say. Shawn looks up from unpacking his bag and smiles. "So what were your ideas for this chemical project thing?"

"Well, I was thinking we could create some sort of reaction, you know? Because there's energy in the reaction." Shawn was so cute when he was serious. I must've been smiling at him because he gets defensive.

"What? Did I say something?"  He looks nervous.

"No, no. I was just thinking" I grab my science book out of my bag, changing the subject. "Let's do this."
