"I dunno fam, I guess they get a sudden urge or something." I shrugged.

"Urge is such a weird word." Sydney said while laughing and I joined in, thinking how strange we truly were.

"Wow." I laughed, pulling my hair behind me as we approached our lockers. I felt Sydney grasp my arm tightly and I looked up at her to see a smirk on her face.

"What?" I asked.

"Look." She gestured towards our lockers with her head. I followed her gaze and saw Shawn leaning against my locker with his arms folded on his chest. He had a proud smirk on his face and he looked great with his tight black skinny jeans and black leather jacket. His ray bans were hung around his shirt's collar and stared at me as we walked towards him. Looks like he had been waiting for someone. Waiting for me.

"Hi." He spoke up when I went towards him. A small smile replaced his smirk and he got off of my locker and stood looming over me. He looked extra tall today for some reason. Maybe it was because he did his hair today and put it into a quiff all nicely.

"Hello." I smiled. I could practically feel Sydney beside me fangirling or probably feeling jealous.

"Um, you're coming to my house today right?" He asked and I heard Sydney cough loudly, as if she was choking and I looked up at her in alarm. She just grinned at me and nodded, telling to me to carry on the conversation. I saw her go to her locker and put her books up.

"Yeah, I guess so. Unless you want to go to the library or someth-" I started but he immediately cut me off saying, "no-no my house is fine!"

I looked at him to see his eyes shining brightly and he took a step towards me, lessening the distance. I guess I was standing way too far away before. I was pretty awkward with everybody, so that was a bad habit of mine.

"Okay, so like can I have your address?"

"Yeah sure." He said and I got my phone out and typed in whatever he said into my notes.

"Okay see you soon. Is around 4 okay?" I asked and he nodded, turning to walk away. I saw his eyes dart nervously from the ground and up to my face and then he simply began to walk away. I proceeded to my locker and began to put in the combination.

"Hey, Ava.." I heard his voice say, his footsteps coming closer to us again. I turned around, not knowing he was this close and almost knocked him out with my big bookbag. He laughed and I mumbled a quick apology while letting out a little laugh.

"Could I possibly use your phone to text my mom? Mine is dead." He said quickly.

"Yeah sure, no problem." I said, and handed him my phone, typing in the password quickly.

I turned around and quickly finished putting the combination in. I opened my book bag, pulling books out and shoving them into my locker. When I was done, I turned around and saw Shawn finishing up and he handed me my phone.

"Thanks babe." He said, with a smirk and then turned on his heels to walk away. Babe? I was so confused. He was so confident some times and the other times, his words came out in a nervous stutter. I didn't really understand this boy.

I turned to face Sydney and I saw a huge grin on her face. She looked down the hallway, making sure he was out of sight and then she let out a loud yelp.

"Oh my god Ava he totally is crushing on you. Oh my god. oh my god. He's so sexy, why don't you date him? I swear to god if you say you don't like him, I'm going to punch you in the face. What is wrong with you, he fricking called you babe and was waiting for you, talk about GOALS." She spit out so fast, talking a million words per second and shouting the last word.

"Syd! Calm down!" I managed to say before she would start to shout even more.

"You guys are mom and dad. I called it first, okay? When you guys start dating, I'm going to say I told you so."

"I don't even like him bruh." I told her and she literally hit me in my arm.

"Ow! What was that for?" I asked and she glared at me.

We began walking to the student parking lot and she said, "you better be glad that wasn't your face."

"BUT SINCE WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO HIS HOUSE? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?" She asked me, quite loudly, while shaking my shoulders back and forth. I explained to her how Shawn and I had planned to work at each other's houses after school to finish the project. She finally calmed down a bit and we were about to get into my car. We climbed in and I grabbed my phone, plugging my aux cord and scrolling through my music. I put in Perfect by One Direction, because that was my jam right now.

Before I began to drive Sydney home, I decided to check my messages.

At the top of the list was something I didn't expect to be there.

The contact name was "Shawn ❤️" with a heart emoji and apparently a message from my phone had been sent to the number and said "hi"
And the person had replied back saying "hi babe."

Apparently, instead of Shawn texting his mom, he had texted his phone from mine, so that he would have my number. He was smooth.



Author's Note: guys haha that last little bit^ has happened to me in real life. One of my guy friends literally got my phone and we were at this event and he told me he had to tell his mom to come get him and I didn't realize at that point that his mom was actually at the event with us 😂 haha. So he just got my number by texting himself off my phone and I was like dangggg look at you, so clever haha.
But I hope you liked it! Please drop a vote and comment if you did :)
Love you my nuggetsssss
