Life of the party.

Chapter 1

Monday. I hate them. Waking up and going to school was clearly not my thing.
I was just so excited because it was actually my last year of high school.
Even if my parents are really pushing me to go to college I was still determined to produce music. With my friend Amel who was an incredible singer we teamed up to make music together. I was kind of her manager. She would sing my songs and I would help her with her career. And it wasn't our young age that would stop us. We were both 18 and clearly not at the top yet.
However we thought we would give a try and post our work on vine. Amel already had a YouTube channel but she never sang on it, afraid of what people might say. But she was totally wrong because her voice was beautiful.
So we posted a few vines and didn't get much loops at first but it was okay, I mean it takes time.

I hat to get ready to go to school. I brushed my black silky hair. Put a dark green sweater and a black skinny jeans and my black booties. I throw on my long back coat and got out of the house.

When we arrived at school with Amel everybody was looking at us. As usual I would say. We were often judge because of our style, our attitude, the things that we post on the Internet, and a lot people made fun of us. It was a bit hard to handle everyday but I knew that one day it would pay off and everybody will crawls back at us pretending we were friends and Amel and I would say "Haters back off!"
They clearly just jealous of us.

One day as I was chilling on my couch I got a notification on vine. My vine started to grow and I had 2,000 followers! I went into the app and saw a private message. It was from a guy called Shawn Mendes. I directly checked his profile and he was also a singer. I wasn't really a fan his covers but he seems to have a nice voice.

His message says "hey, I'm Shawn, I love what you're doing, it's really good work mate. Hope we can stay in touch."

At least we couldn't say that he didn't seem nice.

So I reply by saying "Hey thanks, really appreciate."

I didn't know what to say else and I didn't want to start a conversation with him either. So I just went back to my stuff.

I was so happy that my work started to get notice to people and was appreciate. After a few months I already had 100,000 followers on vine and to celebrate I decided to create my own YouTube channel and to show even more my work. And it did work . People were so happy to listen more than 6 second of my songs.

I was replying to comments and tweets, I receive a YouTube link from a subscribers, tell me to check out this guy. I clicked on the link and it directed me to this guy again from vine, Shawn, he was singing stay by Rihanna. His cover was amazing, it has nothing to do with his vine. He has an amazing voice. I watched a few more of his videos and really liked them.

I decided to send him a message on vine.  And give him a chance.
"hey, I absolutely love your covers on YouTube, we should work together sometimes :)"

I waited a few moments but he didn't reply. I then saw that he was living in Canada so he was probably sleeping since we weren't in the same time zone.

The day pass, I was trying to write a song about finding love even if we think that nobody is made for. Sometimes we feel like we are so different/weird that nobody would understand us. But finding love is not really what matters right now. I'm an free spirit I go where the wind tell me to go.
I'm not the kind of guy who run after
someone. I don't know why I should. If a person don't like you for you and you're trying to hard then you're doing something wrong.

2 day later I Shawn answered.
"Hey Simon ! Thanks ! I'm so sorry I didn't reply sooner I was very busy, but I would love to work with you!"

Between us it could have ended up here, but I don't why but I wanted to try to make a new friend and Shawn seemed pretty cool.

I then answered but the problem was still the same. We didn't live in the same area, and it took us days to have a proper conversation.

I could have give up but one night I receive a text from Shawn asking me if wanted to Skype right now. I was so nervous we actually never seen each other! Texting is one thing but I wasn't sure if I would find something to say.
But you never know unless you try. So I got a bit ready just so I wouldn't looks like the sloth that stayed in bed all day that I was.

He was calling. I could feel my cheeks turned red. I picked up and his face showed up on my screen. He was simply wearing a white tee-shirt.
He first said" heyyy Simon" with his high raspy voice. We really couldn't tell he was Canadian.
On the other hand we could definitely notice a tiny bit that I was French.
We were both a bit shy not sure what to say. But as it goes we got a lot more comfortable. I discover a guy really down to earth, very mature for his young age, his was only 16,and I was 18.He's also, at my surprise, was very funny. And I don't complain, I think someone with humour his 10 times more attractive.
It was very early for him and very late for me but somehow we managed to talk all night, for me and I haven't got bored at all. He even ask me for help with a song he was working on and I was showing my work. He was genuinely a really cool guy. And I couldn't wait to talk to him again.
