Lonely Introvert

Nice Save

Katie Dempsey

As soon as the last bell rang, I headed straight to my locker and I made sure that nobody was around before I sneaked my sketchbook into my bag pack because my sketchbook is like a diary to me and it was also given to me as a gift from my late mom. I can't describe what I'm feeling right now but I've missed her so much. And so I would carry the book with me wherever I go except for crowded places and stuff because I didn't want people to know that I had designed some of Shawn's outfits on tour during the "Illuminate World Tour" era and also because Shawn was what inspired me to design outfits for men instead of just women. I'm amazed that he's actually a fan of my work.

I closed my locker and headed straight to the nearest Starbucks cafe to use the free wifi because my dad and I live in a small town in a rented apartment with just a room and bathroom with no wifi of course.

Shawn Mendes

After an hour long of gym sessions, I decided to take a break and headed over to Starbucks to grab the usual which was espresso and a bagel. And of course once I got my food and drink... everyone else at the cafe started crowding around me, asking me for pictures. I couldn't say "no" to my beautiful Mendes Armies so I decided to line them up in a straight line and took pictures with all of them. It's what I do, I love my fans a lot.

After I'm done taking pictures with the fans, I looked around for an empty seat and I saw Katie seated all alone at a table so I walked over to her and asked if I could seat "Katie right?" And she looked up at me with one of the brightest smile that I have ever seen. "Mind if I seat?" I looked at her with a smile and she instantly pat the empty seat next to her and replied "sure, go ahead"

I was shocked that I'm seating with the actual Shawn Mendes!!! My heart was beating really fast that my chest started hurting because my heart was about to jump out of my chest. "You okay?" He looked at me concerned and so I told him that I was fine. He looked at me and thanked me for saving him earlier on and I smiled and thanked him for helping me figure out my locker combinations and also apologized for accidentally wanting to break into his locker. The next thing I know, we became actual friends. But of course I would never tell him the truth about who was behind the designs for most of his outfits. I just wanted to keep that part a secret because I knew that if he did find out, I could no longer live a normal life.

Thoughts started running through my head and I was already distracted that I never notice Shawn peeping through my laptop and he saw me being on my own website.  And before I notice what he was looking at, it was all too late.

Shawn Mendes

"Are you a fan of KD too?!" I looked at her while asking "umm why?" She replied and I told her that I've been a huge fan of the designer's work and that I would like to meet and collaborate with the designer of KD soon and as soon as she heard that, she choked on her coffee and I started handing her some napkins. "Was there something I said?" I looked at her again while being concerned and she shook her head and apologized before rushing off.

I was confused at first but then I saw a crumpled piece of paper on the table and somehow followed my guts that told me that I should open it and so I did and saw the rejected designs of an outfit that Katie had been working on and so I connected the dots and found out that Katie is the creator of KD!

I rushed back home and laid on my bed while hyperventilating that Shawn Mendes actually loves my work and that he wanted to meet me and stuff it all just became so overwhelming, I hope Shawn don't find out that I'm the girl designing his clothes. My crush for Shawn grew deeper and deeper but then again he would never fall for a girl like me. And so I gave up the thought of having a chance to date him. It was just me crushing on him. I turned on the radio and started listening to the "Illuminate" album while looking up at the posters of him that I have in my side of the room. And besides, no matter how much clothes I sell, I could never afford a concert to see Shawn perform live which was what I've always wanted as it has been a dream of mine to see him live in concert.

Shawn Mendes

I kept the crumpled piece of paper from the table where she left it and went straight home. And as soon as I got home, I went on my laptop to go straight to the website as I was scrolling through the website I finally saw the similar outfit updated onto the website 10 minutes ago. I freaked out and rang Teresa up and I asked her if she could help me make sure that my guess and assumptions were correct. That Katie was really the creator of KD. I have never been so obsessed with something until now and before I knew it, I had already fallen for her.

Teresa Geiger

I was just in my studio adding the final touches to Shawn's upcoming studio album when all of a sudden, I heard my phone going off like crazy and so I decided to pick up only to find out that Shawn had been ringing me for the past 20 minutes and so I got up and rang him in. "Why took you so long?!" He asked impatiently and I replied "well sorry! I was busy Shawn, now what's all this about?" I asked. And be made the most bizarre request but I kinda got used to his weird requests. He told me that I could go on a online shopping spree that would be fully sponsored by him and he went to the website with my laptop and so I scrolled through the website and I found a dress that I really liked and decided to order it from the website. I thanked him for buying me an outfit and he just smiled and asked me when my outfit would arrive and so I checked on the shipping information and it turns out that it would be delivered to me first thing tomorrow since it would be a Saturday. "Okay you are really weird today, what has gotten into you?!" I looked at him and asked. He just kept quiet and asked me if he could stay over for the night and so I agreed to let him stay since I would be all alone without Emily by my side. I was still coping with the breakup anyway and having Shawn stay with me might make me feel better.
