At school, September 2016

You were sitting in first period which was calculus and instead of paying attention you were thinking of all the scenarios that could happen with your crush.

Your friends have been bugging you over talking to Shawn since freshman year.

"Come on you haven't seen him since fourth grade and all of a sudden he pops back into your life? I mean it's fate if you were asking me."

They said over and over.
Shawn was a year older than you, he is a senior at Bridgeway High.

"Yeah well I haven't spoke to him since elementary and he was my brothers best friend so what am I supposed to say to him? Hey remember me from I don't know, seven years ago? No? Well I was your best friend's sister, y/b/n. Yup because that won't be creepy or weird at all."

Was always your response to them.

So today was the day you were supposed to approach him. You even dressed up cute with a black high-waisted skirt and a black and white striped long sleeve, high black socks with cute boots, and a dark grey/ greenish colored sleeves jacket and a necklace. Your hair was done in loose waves and a natural makeup look because you remembered that he loves the natural look on girls.

And to your relief you preferred that look as well.

Bell rings

You pack your supplies and take a deep breath as you walk out the door. Shawn's class was across from yours and both of you guys next classes were next to each other outside.

You see him walk out of his class and down the stairs and you follow him. He then takes the exit outside and as usual Shawn walks across the football field.

You see him take the exit and both of you are walking on the field, you
take a deep breath and extend your arm to tap him on the shoulder. He turns around and sees you. And you completely panicked.

Quickly, you spun around and started walking the opposite direction.

Idiot. Idiot. Idiot!

You thought as you speed walked until you heard, "Hey! Wait up!"

You inhaled sharply, stopped, and felt your heart beat even faster.

Oh my God oh my God oh my God

Slowly you turned around to be face to face with Shawn.

"Hey." You said nervously.

"I saw you back there and I think you were about to tap on my shoulder."

"What that? That that was just me umm..." You paused for a second thinking of an excuse and finally said," stretching my arms with my arms."

He chuckled," Wait what? Stretching your arms with your arms?"

You felt your face burning and you could already tell you were hardcore blushing.

"Y-yeah um well I actually was just going to tell you-"

He interrupts you by saying the most wonderful thing a crush could say to a nervous wreck like you.

"Hey, it's just me, remember Shawn? I don't expect you to remember me but I remember you."

"You remember me?!" Confused you ask him.
