SHAWN MENDES.

SHAWN MENDES.

SHAWN MENDES.

SHAWN MENDES.

THE SHAWN MENDES.

Lord, kill me. Kill me now.

I am imagining him, it has to be! But it...but it feels so real.

"Hey, you okay?" Shawn Mendes says as he extends his hand over to me. I stare at it like an idiot.

DO SOMETHING, EMMA.

He looks concerned.

SHAWN MENDES IS CONCERED ABOUT ME.

Gee, Emma, we get it: you're meeting Shawn Mendes. Move on!

BUT I REALLY CAN'T!

"Uh...Not really, I almost died," I reply, taking his hand.

HE IS REAL!

HIS HAND IS SO SOFT!

He laughs and helps me get up, "What's your name?"

"Emma, you?" I ask, AS IF I DIDN'T KNOW ALREADY.

"Shawn," He extends his hand to me, "nice to meet you."

"I've never expected to meet The Shawn Mendes like this," I blurted out loud, shaking his hand.

His hand is so soft.

He laughs. "I thought you didn't recognize me."

"Oh, I did. I was just dying on the inside, so I pretended I didn't."

He laughs again.

And then we just kind of stare into each other's eyes. As if we've done that a million times before.

"So, where were you heading?" he breaking the silence.

This quickly snaps me back into reality. "School! I'm gonna be late!" I quickly pick up my bag and turn around, but he places a hand on my shoulder and stops me.

"No, let me drive you. It would be a way to say sorry." He suggests.

I have to admit, I'm a bit taken aback, but I have no time to argue. I nod and follow him to the limo. I get in, and I am amazed.

I'VE NEVER BEEN IN A LIMO BEFORE.

This is exciting.

It was pretty big. Like, bigger than your average car (of course). There is a man dressed in black inside the limo that I assume is Shawn's bodyguard

"I'm sorry, miss," the chauffeur apologizes from a small window separating the back of the limo from the front.

"As long as I am alive and well, it's okay," I reassure him.

He smiles and closes the small window.

The limo starts moving.

"To which school?" Shawn asks me.

"George Washington High School," I answer.

Wow, look at me, casually making conversation with Shawn Mendes.

"No way!" He exclaims, "That's where I'm heading!"

Wait, what?

"What a coincidence!" I exclaim, "You're new, right?"

"Yeah."

And then it hits me: if Shawn goes to my school, he's gonna learn I'm a dork with barely any friends. Shoot. Here I thought I made a new friend, and now I'm going to lose that friend!

Way to go, Emma!

Way to go, Emma!
