4 - Not So Nerdy After All

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Listen to me, sweet heart. Don't ever cross me. Protecting that nerd will only lead you to trouble." He said before throwing me on the ground.

I hit my head on the chair. Everything was blurry but I could still see the outlines of two people fighting.

"Do not ever touch my girlfriend again!" Shawn yelled at him as he threw another punch.

I blinked several times to improve my vision. Once I regained my strength, I stood up and hugged Shawn from behind to make him stop punching Derek. I don't want him to get in trouble.

"Shawn. Baby, it's okay. Stop, please. That's enough." I said, kissing his back.

He threw the asshole on the ground and turned to me. He hugged me and kissed the top of my head. I buried my head into his chest and held him tight. The sounds of applause filled my ears as well as a load roar of cheers.

"Thank you." I whispered.

"No need to thank me. It's my job to protect you." He said, kissing my forehead.

"Hey! It's Shawn! Leave a message."

"Shawn, where are you? Call me back please." I said into his voicemail once again.

He's been M.I.A. since first period and it's currently dismissal. Where the fuck is that guy? I heard the sound of a microphone being tapped and I looked up to check on the PA system.

"May I have everyone's attention please." a familiar voice blared through the speakers. "I just wanted to perform something for a certain person since we usually have radio broadcasting at this hour. y/full/n, this is for you and you know where to find me."

Shawn. Just then the sound of guitars strings being strummed at a specific pattern with the changing of chords erupted from the speakers. I knew that tune. I just couldn't put my finger on it.

"I love it when you just don't care
I love it when you dance like there's nobody there
So when it gets hard, don't be afraid
We don't care what them people say."

No freaking way. It's the song he was working on a few days ago! I quickly ran to the office wherein they record the things to be announced through the PA system. I stopped once I was outside the wooden door with a small window on it. I looked in and he was just singing his heart out.

"We don't have to be ordinary
Make your best mistakes
'Cause we don't have the time to be sorry
So baby be the life of the party."

Once the song ended, he thanked the people listening and then opened the door. I stared at him as he stepped out. He wasn't wearing his usual hoodie and khakis. He wasn't even wearing his glasses or his braces. His usual messy hair was slicked back, his outfit is now a pair of black skinny jeans, a dark gray muscle shirt, a leather jacket, and black sneakers.

"Shawn?" I asked, dumbfounded.

"Hey, my angel." He smiled.

I ran into his arms and held him as if I had not seen him in years. He chuckled and hugged me tighter.

"Why haven't you been answering my calls all day?" I asked him, pulling away from the hug.

"I wanted to surprise you." He said, cupping my right cheek with his left hand.

"But... what did you do to your clothes?"

"I thought that maybe I should change in style. I mean, I am dating the most beautiful girl in the world."

"Shawnee, you didn't have to do that. I don't care whether you look like you came from the streets or if you looked like a gangster. No matter what happens, I will always know you as the Nerdy Mendes I fell in love with. Your looks are just a bonus but your heart is definitely the jackpot. I love you."

"I love you too."

He leaned in and kissed me for the first time. I snaked my arms around his neck as he cupped both of my cheeks with his hands, pulling even closer. I knew right then that he was the one I want to be with forever. There may be no forever but I know we would last a lifetime.

A/N: I'm actually proud of this. The picture on the side is actually one of Shawn's fetus pictures which I edited a bit by placing glasses on him. Tell me if it's cute or not xD I actually wrote this while watching The Great Gatsby (Which by the way, I give a 2/5 stars for several reasons not including Tobey and Leo's acting that happens to be on point) during our English class. Talk about multitasking xD
