Toronto or London
Tumblr media
Hello Everyone, Am I back? I am not sure, but I just really got stuck in my head these past few days, and well, I figured writing would help me. I didn't really proofread this, so I apologize in advance. I also don't necessarily love this that much, but at least it got me out of my limbo phase. Warnings: None really Word Count: 2,510 Summary: She has always been in love with Toronto; she just didn't know why yet.
Enjoy!!

“Toronto or London?” — Jimmy asked as the last question of the fast questions round.
“Toronto” — Emily replied, without a second thought to the question. Which got the audience and all her fellow colleagues to look at her by surprise. 
“Wait a minute, weren’t you born in London? What makes you choose Toronto?”
“Honestly? I just have always had a good feeling about Toronto, even though I never really got spend that much time there, I hope that at some point once I have a break I manage to go touring on that city.” — She replied, with an honest response. The truth is that she always had a good feeling when she was around Toronto, she just didn’t know why. - - -

“Shawn, someone told me you wanted to tryout for a few acting gigs, and that Harry has been pushing you to do it?” — Shawn laughed at the question while nodding his head confirming the information. — “So my question to you is, if you had to work with any actor/actress who would it be?” 
“Oh wow, that’s a difficult one Jimmy, but I think I would have to say Emily Wilson, I just really love everything she does, like it would be such an honour. I am a huge fan! Honestly even meeting her would be a huge honour” 
“Well I was told she loves Toronto! So maybe it won’t be that hard to find her roaming around the city, you could just ask her on a date you know?” — Jimmy joked.
“I don’t think I would ever even dare to do that!” — Shawn answered, his face definitely a bit flustered.
“Well, but moving on to business Shawn, talk to us about your new album!”
30/09/2019
“So, Emily lets talk about your new film, you are now shooting in Toronto, right?” 
“Yes, and it has been an amazing experience to be able to be in Toronto for 3 months now, I really love this city so much!” — She replied with a smile on her face.
“That’s so great! I hope you managed to finally go to all the places you wanted to visit around the city, did you manage to have the time to do that?” 
“Oh, I really wish! We barely stopped during the filming process because I need to run to London right after this, we are starting to shoot The Selection series with Netflix, as you all know, so I manage to visit a few places but definitely have to come back.”
“So, if you had to choose between life in Toronto or London, which one would you choose?” 
“Toronto!” — She answer without second thoughts. — “Don’t get me wrong I love London, but there is just something about here that I can’t take my head off it.”

“Girl I just loved your work so much! I mean you know I love your acting gigs but your song, I just don’t know how you didn’t win song of the year! It was my song of the year for sure!” — Billie said as soon as she spotted Emily at the Grammy’s after party.
“Come on! You are queen here today, don’t even start! You killed it!” 
“Thank you! It means a lot coming from you! I heard you are back to filming in New York this month? Maybe we can meet up for a coffee when you are around?”
“Actually, I just finished filming yesterday, I am heading to Toronto tomorrow, and then back to London for more filming.” — Emily said a bit sad she would miss the coffee with Billie.
“No wayyyy! Wait up, I will probably head to Canada for a few days too, Justin recommend me a very nice retreat in which paps won’t find me, and I am in need of some offline days, especially after this crazy night, I feel like I can definitely go for that!” 
“That’s amazing, if you want you can come with me in the plane and we have that coffee and you can tell me more about how was this masterpiece production”
“I am in girl! Let’s go!” — Billie answered before being dragged by her brother to answer to a phone call they had just got.

11/01/2020
“Wait up! You have never talked with Shawn or Justin before? Even though you have been obsessed with Canada your entire life? How is that even possible? 
“You know I was nominated for a song for the movie I did right? I don’t actually sing B.” — Emily said laughing at her friend.
“Oh shush girl, you just won a grammy yesterday for best song for visual media, maybe you don’t want to admit but you are good in what you are doing” 
“Billie, I literally have one song out!”
“True! But still…” 
“Enough on me and my obsession with Canada, tell me more about what you have been up to! It has been so long since we had time to actually talk!” — Emily answered, eager to know more about her friend.

“Shawn there is an invitation for you to go to this interview tomorrow with Emily Wilson, I know it is last minute but if you want to do it, we can do it.” — Andrew said over the phone.
“Wait, what? Really? Of course I want to do it, should probably talk to Camilla first about it, but yes.” — He said, immediately texting his girlfriend about the interview as he knew she could become a bit insecure with Shawn going to an interview with his celebrity crush. But her response came out being super supportive which made Shawn at ease about going.

“Hello you guys, I was told you had never met! And honestly I didn’t believe it!” — The interviewer at the radio said making Shawn and Emily smile at each other before answering.
“I honestly just never spent enough time here to get to meet new people, I am always hanging out with the crew and it just never happened, but it is an honour to finally meet you Shawn!” — Emily said with a smile.
“No, please the honour is all mine! I just really cannot believe this is happening right now and I am not sure I know exactly how to properly behave, I am like your number 1 fan!” — He said, totally fingerling over her and making her giggle. 
“Normally Emily comes over to talk about acting, but today we will talk about song writing, and her process on writing and recording her song for a Disney movie! How did that happen?” 
“Well Kate, I don’t even know myself if I am being honest, I knew I would have to sing, but when Julia contacted me asking if I wanted to help with writing it took me a lot by surprise, it was the first time I ever wrote a song in my life, so I definitely was not expecting the response we got, honestly I really believe it was all Julia’s magic and I ended up being there with her by a struck of luck or something” — She answered.
“What do you think of the song Shawn? And how it is writing for you?”
“What do I think of her song? I wrote with Julia a few weeks after they finished recording and Julia couldn’t shut up about you and how you brought all the sparkles into the song, and I really think it is an amazing vulnerable song and that you really should give yourself some more credit, I really love it. And about writing, for me this song is an example of what I am trying to do every day, really just pouring my soul into it and making feelings into words.” — He answered making her blush a little. 
“Thank you Shawn, we don’t have a lot of time today unfortunately, so we chose one question from fans for you to answer: If you had to choose between writing in London or anywhere else in the world where would you choose to go?” 
“I really like recoding in LA, but London is on my top 5 places too.” — Shawn answered and waited for Emily.
“Toronto, 100%! If there is one place I feel the most comfortable being in such a vulnerable state is Toronto for sure.”
“Time is up, guys thank you so much! I hope I get to see more of you around Toronto Emily, and Shawn let’s please meet up soon! I will see you again tomorrow to talk about the process of filming Game of Thrones with Emilia Clarke!” 
As they left the recording room, Shawn finally had the chance to compliment Emily properly.
“I really really love your work so much, you have no idea! — He said in an exited way which made her smile. — Can I hug you? — He asked and she immediately nodded and was engulfed in his hug. She really had a strange sensation when they were hugging, it was the same sensation she felt whenever she would arrive in Toronto, it felt like home. “Is it too much if I ask for an autograph too?” — He asked, making her laugh.
“Of course, here you go.” She signed on his notebook.
They talked for over an hour after the interview, and he also left her his number for whenever she was around if she needed company to tour on his city. She knew he had a girlfriend but at the same time she couldn’t help but to wonder which is also why she promised herself to never text him.

“Our final question of the night” — Elen said with a pout and the audience also made a sound of protest. “I know, I know you love her, I love her too!” — She said taking Emily laugh
“And I love you all of course” — She said seeing a kiss to the audience.
“If you had to make a song duet, and I mean a real one, not one with me for this show. Who would you like to sing with?” 
“Shawn Mendes” — She said, very fast and without thinking too much.
“Oh wow, that was fast, is there something going on that we don’t know about? You definitely do make a lot of visits to Toronto.” — Elen said, leaving it open to her to interpret it.
“I just really like the way his voice sounds” — She said, bluish a little when she noticed how her response sounded. — “ And of course if we record in Toronto even better”
“Smooth Emily, I guess we all will have to let that slide since our time is up for today”.

“So Shawn” — Elen Paused —“Do you watch my show?”
“Whenever I can, I do.” 
“A few months ago we had an interview with Emily Wilson, and apparently she really likes your voice” — She said making him blush because he had no idea what she was talking about.
“I am not exactly sure what you are talking about Elen” — He answered, not wanting to mess things up with his favourite star.
“Here is Emily on this show, and what she said” — Elen replayed the clip, and Shawn immediately felt his blushing. “Adorable right?” — She said making him close his eyes for a second and smile timidly.
“I really like the way her voice sounds too, not only in music but also everything she has even acted on, she is perfect in everything she does” — He answered and bit his lip softly at the end, still embarrassed by the situation.
Later that night he was surprised when his phone received a text from Emily, as he hadn’t really talked to her in over a year.
Emily: I will be in Toronto next week, if you are around and want to meet for a coffee maybe?
Shawn: Text me your hotel once you have it and I will pick you up and show you around the city if you want a proper tour.

“Connor I am sincerely nervous for this. — Shawn said for the 100th time that day.
“It will be fine, honestly I can’t believe it took you guys so long to actually go on a date!” 
“What do you mean, Man I did have a girlfriend before remember?”
“Shawn, we both know your relationship with Mila started for the wrong reasons, and honestly the possibility of it evolving was very slim.” — He said referring to the publicity stunt they had agreed and that later evolved into a relationship. — “You love her, but only as a friend, whereas you have been fungirling over Emi for years, even before Camila.” 
“I am not sure if you saying that helps a lot to soothe my nerves at all” — He said adjusting the collar of his shirt and deciding it was time to leave.

“Okay, so since you are here, and we are being honest with each other, I though we might as well go for Spill your Guts or Fill your Guts!” — James said being filled by a round of a applauses. — “Everything in here is vegetarian, so you can eat everything, or nothing if you decide to answer the questions.”.
“Oh God, this does not look good at all, but yeah, I am ready, ask me”. 
“We are nearing the finale of your series with Netflix, are there any spin-offs of the series being prepared for later? Or is that the last of The Selection we will see? — He asked making her close her eyes.
“Come on James, that is really not fair, I can’t answer this.” — She said trying to sound a bit mad, but laughing at the end.
“That’s all right, you can always go for the onion and garlic tea.” — He said, and she took a sip making a lot of effort to not throw up in the process.
“My turn, James, is there any celebrity who you refused to invite to your show before?” — She read her question and smiled at him.
“She really knows what she is doing you guys, nop I guess olive pudding for me it is” — He said looking a bite of the disgusting looking olive pudding.
“Emily, some photos have been circling around the internet, and I we are all wondering if they are real, so I would like to read Shawn’s last 3 messages to you” — He said making her blush, they still hadn’t officially confirmed nor denied anything, but their photos of the grammy’s were all over the internet already so there was really no hiding to do anymore.
“Okay, I guess you can do that” — She said after verifying the messages quickly.
“Oh wow! I was not expecting that you guys! I really wasn’t, okay so let’s do this:
Hi Emi, I really really miss you. I hope James is not too mean to you, Love. Good luck, I love you, and see you later.
“Awww… you guys are melting our hearts right now.” — He said taking her phone close to his heart. — “IT’S REAL EVERYONE!”

Hard Candy
Tumblr media
(not my gif!)
18+, Shawn Michaels x Fem!Reader one shot 
[Also available on Archive of Our Own!]
Word count: ~1.5k
Tags: teasing, semi-public foreplay, foodplay (just candy), hair pulling, enemies to... hooking up? definitely not lovers lol
Summary: 
You and Shawn hash out the tension between the two of you the best way you know how.
"What are you eating?"
The small hard candy swirled around your mouth idly. It was almost too sweet. Your teeth would thank you later by aching.
"Jolly Rancher."
His eyes fell to your full lips as you continued to suck on the sweet. These things lasted forever, you both thought.
"What flavor?" Shawn was beginning to grow impatient at your cool attitude. Why weren't you falling head over heels for him like the other girls?
You finally decide to look away from the TV screen in front of you, dragging your eyes dramatically to his. He's not that much taller than you. Your jaw moves slightly with every rotation of the candy. Shawn's strong arms reached behind him to readjust the hair band holding his ponytail. It took a superhuman amount of willpower to not watch him.
"Cherry."
"Gross. That's the worst flavor."
"It's a good thing you're not the one eating it then, huh?" Your head cocked to the side, lips moving into a snarl, hip poked out. This playground bullying act from the Heartbreak Kid was wearing very thin. Ever since you joined the Monday Night Raw roster, Shawn started chasing you around just the same way he did with all the new women. You refused to fall for the antics and chose to ignore him best you could. Tales through the grapevine told you that he kept running to Vince for the two of you to have a romance storyline; as far as you were concerned, that was your worst nightmare. No one would take you seriously after it and you'd really start falling for the jerk.
"I can smell it from here." His deep voice was faux disgusted. Yes, he could smell the strong artificial cherry scent just by standing next to you. It was actually driving him insane thinking about the way the candy moved in your mouth. Inappropriate thoughts of your mouth on his... your mouth on him, his on you, lips together-- distracted him from his goal. He wanted to make you crack. He didn't care if you got pissed and started cursing him out, he just needed to see you have some response. Anything was better than nothing.
You couldn't help but to scoff. "Oh please, you cannot. Stop being a baby."
Deep down, you did like knowing that you had this man come undone when he was around you. You pretended like you didn't like the chase and attention, but you loved it. Shawn was very persistent. It could be annoying sometimes when you were trying to make a real name for yourself. Then he'd manage to crack a joke and you'd have to stifle a giggle or hide a smile.
"I can. I wouldn't have thought a girl like you would be such a sugar junkie."
Now your interest was piqued, even though your gaze returned to the screen. "And why is that?"
"You're so… cold. A damn stick in the mud. Candy seems too colorful and fun for you." Shawn had you right where he wanted you. That accent of his definitely got you going, to your annoyance. In another world maybe he'd be a drill sergeant yelling at his cadets everyday.
Your eyes rolled around your head so hard you thought they'd fall out like marbles. Why was this childish taunting making you so upset? You twisted around to face him again, eyes darting from his lips to his eyes. The corners of his mouth seemed to want to curl into a smile, but instead remained straight. Almost got you… he thought.
"You're only saying I'm boring because I haven't fucked you yet." The words came out sufficiently venomous, you thought.
"Yet?"
Got her!
For a second, just one second, your brain short circuited at the words that left your mouth.
Yet.
Yet yet yet yet yet yet--
An unexpected growl rose from deep within you. You wanted it to come out threatening so you looked like a force to be reckoned with. Instead, halfway through it ended up a squeak. You went from sounding like an angry tiger to a bratty teenager who wasn't allowed to go to the mall. Shawn wondered which noises you made more in bed, the high pitched squeaky ones or the deep growly ones. The prospect of hearing either of them or even both began to make him hard.
"Ugh! Fuck you, Shawn."
"Any time." There was that pretty boy smile of his that all the ladies fell for.
The rubberband of mixed up feelings finally snapped inside of you. All of the lust, anger, and tension came to their peak. Your brows furrowed at the thoughts rushing through your mind. Fuck it, what was there to lose?
Acting on autopilot, you braced your hands against Shawn's chest and backed him into the nearest wall. He was pretty sure you were going to knock him out. Staring into each other's eyes for what seemed like a moment too long was just enough time to catch him off guard with a press of your lips to his.
One hand clenched into the fabric of his thin t-shirt, while the other reached down to massage his hardness through his pants. The cherry Jolly Rancher managed to move from your mouth to his and the satisfied part of your brain noted that you weren't hearing any complaints about how gross it was. In fact, he was enjoying it a lot. Shawn's hips bucked into you involuntarily, your hand squeezing around him. His arm wrapped around your waist to press you closer to him. His frustration built at your choice of location for this escapade. It wasn't the right time or place to really give you what he'd wanted to for so long.
The candy got smaller and smaller as the two of you continued to kiss. Your tongues each rolled around the candy and met with each other's, making the kiss sickly sweet. His hands tangled into your hair, then moved down to caress your back before beginning to palm your ass. The fabric of your pants were so thin he could feel the seams of your thong through them.
Shawn pushed off the wall and leaned into you, your head falling back as his lips moved down your neck. Your hand was still rubbing against him, mind telling you to undo the button and zipper to pull it out. The DX strip poker segment gave you an idea of how big he was but you wanted to see just for yourself what was driving the other women crazy. Now wasn't the time, though. Your logical side was unfortunately very much on. The candy was now in his mouth.
His eyes met yours again while your hands played around in his hair to remove the ponytail holder. His lips kissed against your cleavage. It was another thing that drove him crazy about you, the way you wore low cut shirts around him. You always had to readjust your bra or pull down the shirt a little more when he happened to be around. Your teasing was subconscious while his was very much forward. You felt the beginning of a hickey coming on and it drew a moan out of you. Oops.
"Oh my god, okay." You both had to stop. Tangling your fingers in his hair, you gripped and moved his head away from your chest. His dick twitched at the sensation of you grabbing at the root. Could he make you do that while he was inside--?
Your fingers snapped in his face as you let go of him. There was a pout present on his face that made your panties get wetter. Did he really want to fuck you that badly? Heat flushed your cheeks.
"Don't. Tell. Anyone. About this! No one!"
The usually cocky playboy demeanor was back in a flash. Shawn cleared his throat and finished off the rest of the Jolly Rancher. "Hey, do I look like the kiss-and-tell type?" He winked at you.
"I'm serious. Just… if you stay quiet maybe we can do it again." You waved your hand away and rushed out the last few words.
Shawn held his hand up to his ear and raised his eyebrows mockingly. "Huh? What was that? You wanna do it again? Of course you do." His laugh was triumphant.
You took the hair band off your wrist and gathered Shawn's hair behind him tightly. His dick twitched again while you twisted the band around his hair.
"You're lucky you're cute 'cause you can be a real asshole sometimes."
You heard your name being called over a nearby walkie-talkie. A production assistant poked their head in the room to tell you you were needed in makeup. With a turn on the heel of your boot, you followed them out. You turned one more time to face Shawn, who left you with a kissy face and him grabbing his dick.
"Ugh." It was your turn now to be fake disgusted, smiling to yourself as you walked away.
Shawn's hands ran over his hair to smooth it down. The ghost of the cherry candy was still in his mouth and on his lips. It was his new favorite now.

The More Things Change. (S1 E8)
Word Count: 4328
Series Masterlist
A/N: If anyone doesn't like the fact that the oc is black, go away.
TW: Racial slurs.
Tumblr media
"Ah, the 43 million man." Cory smiled happily, taking a look at the article. Shawn pulled out a chair for me and took the seat next to me. I had my hair in two low pigtails with a braid crown. He had told me that I looked like an angel, that my hair was a halo. I was proud of my hair today.
"Why do they call him that?" Minkus asked, approaching the table.
"Because that's what he's getting paid to play baseball for six years." I muttered, taking out my battered copy of Red Dragon.
"7.6 million a year?" Minkus guffawed.
"If that's what it comes out to, yeah." Shawn said, before he started reading over my shoulder.
"You could calculate the value of a baseball card and yet you can't...Oh forget it. I'll save this conversation for when I have cake?" I mumbled before I continued reading. Shawn continued reading over my head shoulder.
"He happens to be one of the top guys in baseball." Cory nodded, continuing to read the article.
"Well, I happen to think Mr. Feeny is one of the top guys in teaching and he makes about 40 thousand a year." Minkus said and that's one of the few things I've ever and will openly agree to.
"That stinks." I look over at the blue eyed boy over my shoulder. He looks back at me with wide eyes.
"Finally. Something we agree on." Minkus nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. Feeny ain't worth that kind of money." I threw my head down onto the table. I felt someone pull my chair away from the table.
"Thank you, Cory." I mumbled with my head on my lap. He ran his hand over my back while they continued their conversation.
"You thought I meant he was overpaid? I meant that Mr. Feeny is grossly and tragically underpaid." Minus said and again I nodded in agreement.
"Minkus... May I call you Minkus? Does spelling ever change? No. Does history ever change? Uh-uh. Does Feeny ever change? Never. Know why? He doesn't have to. Know why? 'Cause nothing about... teaching sixth grade ever changes."
"Yeah, instead year after year he has to deal with kids like you guys who don't listen." I kept my head down.
"Well, I think you're wrong." Minkus looks at the curly haired boy. Cory was definitely wrong.
"Well, I think l'm right. I think in about five seconds, Feeny walks in here, takes a sip from the drinking fountain, flicks his mustache, goes to the coffee machine, sees us, asks Raven-Anniya about what books she just finished before he turns to me and says, "Good morning, Mr. Matthews. "I trust you've done the homework". Every day, the same thing. He's so predictable." Cory stated just as our teacher walked into the cafeteria. We watched the older man do just as Cory described.
"Good morning, Mr. Matthews. I trust you've done the homework." He says, just as Cory said he would.
"Yes, I did, sir." The curly haired brunette said. He wasn't genuine but to the untrained eye he may've been sincere.
"But my little sister ate it." They said together before Mr. Feeny walked away saying something along the lines of "You are so predictable." I had to agree and because I knew he was so predictable I knew that this was going to end up with a lesson for them. I just wonder how much I'm going to have to pay for.

I had spent the better part of my day contemplating just how much of a mess this'll turn into. Cory has no clue what it took to be a teacher so how was he going to learn a lesson?
"This Week in Social Studies we'll be talking about prejudice."
"Good, 'cause I'm prejudiced against the scungy food in the cafeteria." Cory joked, which caused the class to fall into a fit of laughter.
"Then why do you keep eating it?" I asked. Nobody answered.
"We will be discussing black slavery in the American South," The kids all looked to me. "The Jews in nazi Germany and several examples of prejudice throughout history. Tonight your assignment... is to read the first pages of that book." Mr. Feeny said as he handed us the book. The Diary of Anne Frank. This book was amazing. I'd read it years ago and cried.
"Aw, man, it's a book about some girl." And there it was! Cory's definitely done it now!
"Maybe it's time to veer away from picture books Cory?" I looked over at him as he glared at me.
"Rave? I'll take your book suggestions seriously when Storm becomes Shawn's favourite X-Men character." Oh, please.
"Who's your favourite X-Men, Shawnie?"
"The one who kind of looks like your mom.She's cool." Shawn answered absentmindedly, looking over the book he'd just been given.
I turned to Cory with a smug look on my face. "If you're not going to read it because it's about a girl, that's on you. Good to know that you wouldn't want to hear about the experiences of people who don't look like you." I mumbled the last part to myself.
Just as Cory was about to respond, the bell rang and we all started packing our things. I made sure to put my copy of the book in my bag. I heard Mr. Feeny call Cory to stay back, but Shawn had already taken my hand and started pulling me out of the school.
+=+=+=+=+
"So, Sunshine," Shawn said as I took a seat on the swing. "I have something for you." He looked straight ahead, refusing to make eye contact.
"You do?" Shawn had gotten me another gift?
"Yeah. It's ummm not much but..." He pulled a little book out of his bag, but it wasn't a regular one. It looked homemade. When I opened it I came face to face with pictures of me, of us, over the years. From my first day at school together, my mom must've taken them from my dance recitals and our Halloweens. On the very last page written in Shawn's handwriting "Happy 11th Birthday, Raven-Anniya!" And just underneath it, "Shawn P. Hunter & Cory Matthews"
"Thank you, Shawnie." I rested my hand on his shoulder. "You know my birthday was over a month ago, right?" I laughed.
He chuckled. "Yeah. But I wanted to wait for Cory to finish the book before I can give it to you." He rested his head on mine.
"So...social studies is going to be hard for you. If you need me to-" Shawn started but I stopped him.
"It's okay, Shawnie. Most of the kids in our class don't know any non-white people outside of school. You remember when Cory got his hair straightened?" Shawn nodded. "Well the girls he thought were making fun of him for his curly hair, were actually making fun of Dwayne Friedrick talking about why they wouldn't invite people like him to their stupid party. Making fun of his naturally curly hair because they could." I rolled my eyes, my mood suddenly sour.
"Those girls are just dumb then." Shawn put his hand on my head.
"But there are more people like them. People who will do more than not invite me to a party." I could see the confusion flash behind his eyes but I didn't want to tell him about it. He was still young. And this was nothing he'd have to experience but I don't want him to be as ignorant as the people I was talking about.
"You'd...you'd tell me if they..." He started but he stopped. I knew what he was talking about.
"Maybe." I answered honestly. He looked kinda hurt. "Sometimes Shawnie, you can't fix things. Not things like this."
"But I want to. I want to be able to help. For you." He rested his forehead against mine.
+=+=+=+=+
"Raven!" I heard Jazmyne call me from downstairs. I went down to see her trying to balance boxes worth of school supplies in her hand. "Little help, please?" I quickly grabbed the smaller boxes.
"What's all this stuff for?" I asked, noticing half the random stuff in the box.
"I'm doing a project with my friends Linda, Tamara and Eric." She answered before unloading the boxes up in her room. "It's a multicultural thing."
"Cool."
"Yeah, so if you need me for anything, just call the Matthews house. Especially if Mom has a work thing." She concluded before she started working on the assignment.
"Okay." I nodded before going to my room. My ballet class was canceled today but my teacher said we should practice our routine. The calming music contrasted with the sharp moments, I tried to correct my movements using my shadow but it's easier to have someone else tell you what you need to fix.
+=+=+=+=+
"Good morning, class. For the rest of the week I'm going to be your Social Studies teacher." Cory said the second I walked into the classroom. I froze in the doorway.
"Mr. Feeny? What's going on?" I asked, slowly took my seat beside Shawn and now diagonal from Mr. Feeny.
"Don't ask me. He's the man in charge." Mr. Feeny pointed to Cory and I groaned. This is going to suck!
"That's right, Raven, my friend. Me. I'm your new teacher, and my name is... Hey... Dude. That all right with you... George?" He wrote on the board.
"Mi clase es su clase." Mr. Feeny said, leaning back in the seat.
"And you guys know that rule about no baseball caps in class? History!" I watched as the boys in the class excitedly put their caps on. Topanga put her hand up, causing Cory to roll his eyes. "Yeah! Yeah, Topanga."
"If we're going to eliminate the cap rule can we also discard the dress code in its entirety?" I saw Cory's eyes widen fearfully.
"Why? You're not thinking about showing up... like, naked tomorrow, are you?" He asked her suspiciously.
"No. Although I find nothing shameful about nudity. I was thinking about wearing garments from cultures more in tune with the goddess. A sari, perhaps, or a pareo." She said assertively.
"Because nothing says cultural sensitivity like a white girl dressed in cultural garb she doesn't understand." I mumble to myself.
"Yeah, fine. As long as you're covered up."
"No, not fine! She can't just come to school dressed in someone's culture." I spoke up, staring at Cory only to realize the rest of the class had turned to stare at me.
"I just want to express my appreciation for their cultural beauty." She pouted but I didn't care.
"Do you even know the names of the goddesses you're planning on emulating? If you can't name them, say who they are and why they're prayed to, you shouldn't get to play dress up with something you don't understand." I slumped in my seat.
"People, people, people. Are we going to do our Social Studies work today?" Minkus called attention to himself.
"Minkus, Minkus, Minkus. Shut up." Shawn mocked.
"OK, guys, for homework tonight... read the first pages in Whatever that book was that George assigned us yesterday."
"The Diary of Anne Frank, you doofus." I muttered.
"But that was the assignment last night."
"Minkus! Not long ago, I was a student myself and I remember that sixth-graders don't always do their homework so this way, everyone gets a second chance."
"Excuse me, Mr Hey Dude, but I did my homework and I'm sure my Raven Beauty did too." Minkus bragged. That caused Cory to snap.
"Minkus, get a life. That's your homework assignment. Get a life." Cory exclaimed before the class erupted into complete chaos. I just sat back and continued reading Red Dragon.
It was sad that nobody was taking anything seriously.
+=+=+=+=+
We were sitting in class the next day, Cory was trying desperately to get Shawn and I to help him. I wasn't listening to it. "Look, you have to help me get the class back under control."
"Hey, you're the one who let it get out of control." I looked up from my book to Shawn. He was right.
"Well, you're the one playing poker with Feeny." Cory rebutted. I rolled my eyes.
"Maybe if you took this class seriously, the class wouldn't be out of control." I continued reading. I had finished Red Dragon, so I started Silence Of The Lambs.
"Lighten up, man. You're starting to sound like a teacher." Shawn said before continuing to shuffle the cards as the bell rang. Cory walked to the front of the class as Topanga, who came to school in a sari, started moving her desk out of the way.
"Topanga, what are you doing?" Cory asked.
"Moving my desk out of the way. I've decided I'd rather sit on a traditional yoga cushion." Topanga sat on her cushion as Minkus moved his desk out of the way.
"Oh, come on, Minkus, don't tell me you want to sit on a yogurt cushion!" Cory whined.
"No. You told me to get a life. Now I'm going to be as fun as the next guy." Minkus started bouncing on a ball.
Cory let out a defeated sigh. "OK. I know things got a little loose here yesterday but we've got a test day after tomorrow and it's time to get down to business. Let's start With the roll call." Cory started doing the attendance. "Archer, Raven-Anniya." I raised my hand.
"Lawrence, Topanga." The girl was sitting in the lotus position.
"I'm channeling. I will only answer the name..." she growled. Literally.
"OK. Present, but not all here. Hunter, Shawn." Cory continued and I'm just now realizing he's not doing it in alphabetical order. "Hunter, Shawn." Again, Shawn didn't do anything. Cory was waving his hand in front of his face.
"Out of my face. I'm stacking the deck." Shawn pushed him away.
"Hey. Where's Mr. Feeny? I mean, George." Cory asked, looking for our previous teacher.
"Hey, dude. Sorry I'm late. I was chillin' with my homies." Mr. Feeny walked in dressed in a Philly's jersey. He sat in Cory's seat facing Shawn as he picked up the cards. "I'm in." He said as he started playing. He looked around the class with a depressed look on his face.
"Minkus, this is Social Studies. Stop making those paper turkeys." He tossed the book onto Minkus' desk.
"They're flamingoes, and quit calling me Minkus. You call everyone else by their first name... so start calling me Stuart." Cory whined.
+=+=+=+=+
When the bell rang after school, I was shocked to see Jazmyne by my locker. Shawn smiled her way, waving as he walked me to her. "Hi Jazmyne." He said carrying my books as I opened my locker.
"Hey, Hunter. Sorry to have to steal your little bird today but Brianna said I've got to take her to the mall with my project partners." Shawn's smile fell for a second but he nodded.
"It's okay." Shawn rested his head on my shoulder, giving me a hug. "I'll see you tomorrow, Sunshine." He pinched my cheek before he turned to his locker.
I put my books in my bag and started walking behind Jazmyne towards her classmates. I knew Eric but I didn't know anything about Linda but she was a very pretty Asian girl. I sat in the back of the bus clutching my book as I read. When we got to the mall, we went from store to store, me still reading and being careful not to walk into anyone. Eric and Linda were a bit behind Jazmyne and I when someone walked into me and stepped on my book.
"Watch it, kid." The man said, pushing past me and hitting me with his bag. Jazmyne was helping me up off the dirty floor as Eric and Linda went to confront him.
"Hey man, she's just a kid!" Eric said, pushing the jerk.
"Yeah. You didn't have to push her." Linda said. The man rolled his eyes and started walking away but Jazmyne pulled him back.
"You need to apologize. You walked into her." She said, glaring at the older man.
"I don't need to do shit." He said pushing Jazmyne off of him. Linda stopped Jazz from falling over.
"Hey!" Linda said, loudly. The jerk took a step towards the two teenage girls and Eric stepped over them protectively.
"You need to back off." He said to the jerk.
The dude scoffed. "You need to back off. Take your chink and your niggers and get the hell out of here." He pushed Eric, which caused a domino effect with the three teenagers, making them all topple onto the floor.
Linda started tearing up, Jazmyne just got quiet and I sat there with tears in my eyes. It's not something I wasn't used to but it still hurt when it happened.
"Come on, Birdie. Let's get you out of here." Eric said taking me to the bus stop. We hopped on the bus, each of us sitting in silence. Eric took my hand as tears fell over torn pages of my book. He rested my head over his shoulder. We got off the bus and walked into the Matthews' house.
"Come on, let's go sit on the couch, all right?" Eric guided all of us to the couch and I finally broke. I was sitting on the chair sobbing. Jazmyne came up, holding my book out to me. I didn't even notice that I dropped it. I opened it and pages came falling out. I started crying more as the book fell from my hand.
"Eric?" Cory asked, looking around the room at all the sad or angry people.
"I've got it, Cor." Eric consoled a crying Linda. "Everything is going to be oK, all right?"
"Eric?" Cory looked over at me, pointing at my tear stained face.
"I'll talk to you later, Cor." Eric said in a more assertive tone.
"It's getting chilly out there." Amy came in.
"Linda! Linda! What's wrong with Linda?" Morgan rounded the corner and saw Linda crying. She looked over and saw me. "What happened to Raven?" She walked over and hugged my head.
"Some jerk at the mall called us some bad names." Jazmyne said. She was sad too, but her sadness was mixed with anger too.
"Where? Our mall?" Cory asked.
"What did he call you?" Morgan turned to Jazmyne.
"It's not important, Morgan." I spoke between choked sobs.
"In our mall right here?" Cory asked again. Morgan gave Linda and I tissues.
"Thanks, Morgan." When I got the tissue.
"A boy at daycare once called me poo-poo head." Morgan tried to console us.
"That's not very nice." I replied as she handed a tissue to Linda.
"Thanks, Morgan." Linda smiled graciously.
"Mom." Eric looked over at her, pleadingly.
"Come on, Morgan. Let's make some hot cocoa for everybody." Amy grabbed a hold of the young blond. Eric held my hand.
"Man, sometimes people can be total idiots." Eric looked at his brother, not accusingly but the venom behind his eyes was evident.
"This happened today?" Cory said, disbelieving. He looked at me but I looked away.
+=+=+=+=+
The next day, I walked into class with Shawn only to see Cory in a suit and tie.
"Hey, Mr. GQ. Nice neckwear." Shawn said jokingly. He's been joking around all morning. I know he knows something is wrong but I have been denying everything. I didn't want to burden him.
"Excellent Windsor knot. Did your mom tie it?" Minkus said as I slumped in my seat. I had no motivation to do anything today.
"Minkus... Stuart, I need your help. You're the smartest kid in class... maybe if you pay attention to me some of the other kids will."
"Why should I help you? You made fun of Mr. Feeny, and said he gets paid too much." Minkus crossed his arms defiantly.
"Look, Minkus, I'm only coming to you because Raven isn't doing well today." Cory glared but the bell rang before he could say more.
Mr. Feeny walked in and looked at Cory. "Hey, dude. Ooh, that suit. It's not cool."
"Class, I'd like to talk to you today about prejudice... and how it still exists in today's world." Mr.Feeny turned to Cory as he spoke. "I didn't even know that till last night when I saw some really smart, totally cool girls... crying their eyes out because some idiot at the mall... called them bad names. My lesson for today is that when people treat other people badly... because of their skin color or their religion or where they come from...then real smart, totally cool people... can really suffer." Cory passed my desk, dropping a note between my elbow and my head.
'I'm sorry for this. I just need to get to him' as well as a quote from the book. I looked over at him, as he nodded his head towards Shawn. I then realized that aside from Mr. Feeny, I was the only one really listening.
"Hey, George, this isn't gum. These are Rolaids." Shawn said, looking at our teacher.
"Deal me out of this one, Mr. Hunter." Mr. Feeny said, giving Cory more attention.
"What? Why?" Shawn asked.
"OK. You win. I'm a crummy teacher, and I resign. Hey, Shawn, before your mother got married... what was her name again?" Cory turned to the blue eyed boy.
"Cordini." He answered.
"Cordini. So, that would make you a wop, right?" Cory said, nonchalantly.
"CORY!?" I yelled. I didn't think he was going to do that.
"What did you call me?" Shawn looked up at Cory in shock. Shook his head, festering in his anger.
"You heard what I called you." Cory spoke clearly, before he looked at me and nodded.
"Whatever, man." Shawn rolled his eyes and started playing solitaire.
"I guess I understand why you don't care. You spend your day with a monkey and her family of crows. It's astonishing how smart she is though. I honestly expected Ebonics when we first met her."
I looked up at him in fake shock. Did he really think that? No. Before I left his house last night, he asked Jazmyne what kind of things people have said to her and her family. Cory didn't even know what Ebonics is this morning. He literally held up a paper and asked me what it was this morning. I expected him to say this. What I didn't expect was for Shawn to slam him into the door.
"What did you just call her?" Shawn practically snarled, slamming Cory into the door. Nobody said anything.
"Do I need to say it again?" Cory quipped, sarcastically. He seemed unphased when Shawn slammed him to the door again.
"Say it again, I'll kill you!" Shawn screamed.
"Mr. Hunter!" Mr. Feeny intervened.
"Did you hear what he called her?" Shawn looked guffawed.
"Yes I did. And I heard what he called you. What are you going to do about it?"
"He's the teacher." Shawn looked at Mr. Feeny confusion.
"What are you going to do about it?" The older man asked. It seemed to trigger Shawn.
"I'm gonna knock his head off!" Shawn pushed Cory.
"What if you couldn't? What if you couldn't do anything about it?" Cory exclaimed, pushing Shawn back.
"What?" Shawn buffered.
"What if you lived in a country where I could kill you just because of your mom's last name?" Cory spoke loudly for the class.
"Cory, what are you talking about?" Shawn asked.
"A -year-old girl is dead! Doesn't anybody care?" Cory faced the rest of the class.
"Cory..." I sat up slightly, trying to calm him down. He looked at me for a minute before holding the book over to Shawn.
"She was like Raven, Shawn. She was real smart and totally cool. She wrote this book. Her name Was Anne Frank." He pulled his Cory up. "They say she died of typhus but they killed her... because her name Was Anne Frank. Anne Frank was a victim of antisemitism." He said incorrectly but I was so proud, I didn't think I should say anything.
"Anti-Semitism." Mr. Feeny corrected.
"Thank you, Mr. Feeny. You have to read this book... and you have to pass this test... not because of me but because when someone calls someone else a bad name... it's not good that just that one person jumps up. We all have to jump up." Cory pointed at Shawn approvingly. Cory turned back to me. "Raven-Anniya?" He nodded to the book.
"In spite of everything... I still believe that people are really good at heart." I quoted.
+=+=+=+=+
On Monday after school, Shawn and I were sitting in the park when he pulled out his test. He looked really nervous when I unfolded it. He got a B. "You got a B!" I was beaming.
"Yeah, I really wanted to do well." He nodded sheepishly.
"And you don't want to do well on all your other stuff?" I asked, jokingly poking him but he grabbed my hand.
"I wanted to do well because this was important. When it's something important I want..." he stopped before he could finish. "I wanted you to be proud of me." He answered honestly.
"I am proud of you. You defended me when nobody else did. I'd be proud of you anyway." I hugged him. He chuckled.
"You spoke up first, Sunshine." Shawn flipped my hair over my face.
We stayed in the park for a few more hours. I had spent most it reading The Diary of Anne Frank again.

Be My First! Shawn Michaels #48
Shawn Michaels x Khalise Brown
Warnings: Cuteness!!
Word Count: 296
A/N: Let’s get into it.
Khalise is your name.
Hope you like it.
Tumblr media
Khalise awoke to the soft morning light shining through the curtains. She stretched and lazily embraced the comfort of her bed, until she felt her lover’s body nestled against her back, sending a wave of excitement throughout her body.
The warmth of Shawn’s skin on hers stirred a fire inside her heart. With a smile on her lips, she rolled to face him and opened her eyes, only to find his own gaze already burning into hers.
“Morning,” she greeted him with a smile, and he immediately returned her smile, flashing one of those rare, playful ones that always gave her butterflies.
“Good morning,” Shawn murmured back as he gently brushed a strand of hair away from her face. His touch was like electric shocks jolting through her senses, sending her into a heavenly haze.
“What has put that look on your face?” He tilted his head at her, both curious and amused.
She suddenly felt shy as she found herself unable to meet his gaze. She didn’t usually get weak-kneed like this but his enthusiasm seemed to pierce through her and stir up some unknown emotion.
“I want you to be my first,” she blurted out finally, and it felt like she was releasing all the secrets she’d been keeping locked in her heart since the day they met.
He seemed to recognize the significance of those words – there was something else burning in his gaze now, something that matched the intense desire she felt for him.
“I want you to be my first, too.” He smiled, and with that, they sealed their unspoken, mutual longing into something unbreakable.
From then on, they’d experience life together, hand in hand, and Khalise was never happier. This was what she wanted – the two of them, together, forever.
-I hope you guys enjoyed this! I had fun writing it. I love you guys so so so so so much. <33333

Leon's Nightmare 2, Part 3- Gifts come in all shapes.
Tw- Violence and gore. Demonic stuff happening. I'm disappointed by the horror aspects of Leon's nightmare 1 so I'm trying my best to improve it here. Wish me luck.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew frowns at the kids as they make a mess. "I hope your planning to clean that up" drew frowns as athena moves to him. She just grabs his arm and he can't help but suddenly feel cold. "Athena?" Drew asks. "What did you do?" She asks. "What?" "Why did you hurt him?! WHAT DID YOU DO!" Athena screeches. Drews head snaps towards Leon who's suddenly has multiple stab wounds forming. Drews eyes widen in fear as the skeleton blade appears. A long dark body hand with sharp nails appear holding it. Drews breathing picks up as another hand appears by Leon's neck, squeezing, causing the neck to beging to crack and crunch.
Drew stares at the dark eyes staring back at him over Leon's shoulder. A wicked grin and grey skin, long curly horns. That's when a cruel laugh leaves the creature.
Drew screams as he jolts forward, he gasps and glances around his bedroom. Empty. Empty bedroom. "Leon? Leon!" He yells as he climbs out of bed. He's quick to run downstairs. "Morning dad" athena smiles from the dining room where the kids are eating. "Wheres your father?" Drew asks, sounding breathless. "Uh the study I believe he's painting." Athena tries recalling. "Yeah, asked if I could leave so he could focus. Said he had a dream or something." Ophelia shrugs around a mouth of cereal.
Drew rushes into the study. It wasn't really a study anymore, more of a art studio. The kids all liked drawing in it but the only people who got proper use from it was Ophelia and Leon. He pushes the door open to see Leon sat at a canvas painting. "Leon" he sighs. "Hey baby, didn't wanna wake you but I couldn't help it. Needed to paint this thing I saw in a dream last night. Thought this might help get it off my mind." Leon explains. Drew walks over and his heart stops.
The demon from his nightmare. "Um what was your dream?" Drew asks. "Its weird. We just spent the day together as if it was normal. As if we were friends." Leon chuckles. Leon puts the brush down, turning on his stool to face Drew. "Im sorry I left the bed. I know I normally don't I just needed this baby." Leon hums placing his hands on drews hips. Drew frowns as he cups Leon's face. "Thats alright..baby.." Drew mutters. "I love you" Leon whispers resting his head against drews chest. "I love you too." Drew promises as he hugs Leon close. He feels deep in his gut that this might be the last time for awhile. Drew squeezes his eyes shut as tears build and just rubs his thumb against the back of Leon's head.
"I love you.. "
------------------------------------------------------------------
Sheamus watches drew as he laces his boots. "You alright man? You seem..off..." sheamus asks. "Just been a long few weeks. With Leon's seizure, pressure from hunter about the tag belts and don't even get me started on H and Caspians school reports" drew sighs standing up. "How has he been?" Sheamus asks. Drew frowns and looks at their mutual friend.
Before he can answer, Leon strolls in. "Hey baby" Leon smiles as he walks over. Sheamus frowns as Leon kisses drews cheek. "Im going to be late home tonight. I've gotta talk business with hunter." Leon states. "Okay" drew nods. "Ill let the kids know" drew adds. "Good. Good" Leon nods. He looks at sheamus. "Looking good man" Leon smiles at him before walking off.
Drew sighs. What is he to do? No one wants to listen. He phoned taker this morning and taker stated he took a look and Leon is fine. Kane even looked. Drew needs so- "that's not Leon." Sheamus suddenly speaks up. Drews head snaps towards him. "What did you just say?" Drew questions facing him fully. "Thats not Leon. Leon would never call you baby for one, he hates that nickname unless it's towards an actual child or small animal. He would never stay late to speak to hunter. He never did for vince. If they needed to speak to him, they had to do it during the show or speak to him the next day. And finally, he's never nice to me. He never compliments me because he believes it will fill my weird obsession with him, but you and I both know it makes me try harder to try get him to be nice." Sheamus rambles.
Drews eyes widen. "Thank you" drew whispers hugging sheamus. "Thank you Sheamus" he pulls back. "It was him last night. But now? Now I'm not too sure" drew admits. "Ministry?" Sheamus asks. "Thats the issue...ministry would know these things. Its how he managed to hide last time. We never knew because he knows how Leon thinks and act." Drew admits. "Oh god..something new? No..that..that can't be good." Sheamus groans. "No. No it can't." Drew mutters looking back at the door.
------
Drew watches as Leon pulls his jacket and vest off. Drews eyebrows raise as he notices Athenas Cross is gone.
He glances at sheamus who also has noticed it.
Yeah. This isnt Leon.
-----
Athena frowns as she walks into her bedroom. Her eyes immediately land on the cross dangling from her desk lamp. The cross that should be around her Papas neck.
She reaches forward and grabs it only for her breathe to be knocked out of her.
She gasps and stumbles back, her back hitting something..or someone.
She turns and stumbles back again at the sight.
"Its alright baby girl...I'm not here to hurt you" the raspy voice tries to soothe. Athena watches as the red haired woman kneels. Her skin burnt and ruined, but her hair? Her hair and her piercing green eyes are perfect. "W-who are you!" Athena barks holding out the cross. It doesn't do anything which throws her off. "Im Athena. Your great grandmother." She smiles. Athenas eyes widen. "Grandad takers mama?" Athena asks. "Yes sweetie. I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to help you."
"Help me?"
"Help you."
"Help you save your Father."
------------------------------------------------------------------
Drew runs a hand over his face as he walks into the house. He pauses after the door shuts. For a house full of four children, it's awfully quiet. "Kids? Kids! I'm home!" Drew calls. "Shush!" Caspian barks from the kitchen. Drew furrows his brows as he walks towards the youngest. He stops in the doorway as he sees the kids sat around the table with candles, holding hands. Two of the kids holding hands to a empty space.
"What the hell?!" Drew barks flipping the lights on. The kids groan and protest at their dad. "We were trying to save papa! You've scared her off now!" Athena barks. "Im sorry what?!" Drew demands. "Great grandma! Athena can see her! She's like grandad taker, uncle kane and papa! She was helping us contact papa!" Ophelia explains as if it's obvious. Drews eyes widen.
No. No.
Athena was supposed to be normal. She wasn't supposed to be like Leon and taker.
Takers mother is like them?
Of course she is.
"Jesus" drew whispers. "You know that isn't papa! Why won't you help us?" Athena asks. "Its not that simple! That's why!" Drew snaps grabbing his phone. He pulls up takers number but pauses.
He glances at athena, she's staring at him with pleading eyes.
He quickly swaps to shawns number.
"Oh hey drew"
"Shawn..we have a problem. A purple problem."
"I know. I'm glad you finally called. I'll be over as soon as I can."
Drew looks at his phone as the man hangs up. "Of course. Can always rely on you Shawn." Drew whispers with a small smile. "Grandpa?" H asks. "Yeah-" "Grandpa sees things. He has done ever since he moved into the valley. Dad's also started seeing things since marrying papa. He believes there nightmares. There not." Athena explains to the youngers.
Drew pauses. How does she know that? "Grandma athena told me." Athena hums. Drew frowns. "Clean up kids. Grandpa is coming." Drew orders, moving to the table and blowing a candle out.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Humming of tip toes thru the tulips echos around the empty space.
The lost and conflicted man cups his hands around the back of his head, arms covering his ears. He rocks back and forth trying to block the stupid song out.
A cold hand cups the back of his neck. "You must not give up now. We cannot let him win. Not anymore. Not now." The glitchy voice states. "Why? Why should I trust you?" "Because he betrayed me. He tricked and betrayed me. Its time to stop hiding in the shadows. It's time for me to seek revenge.-" "to stop being his bitch?"
"Exactly. Now get up."

2. I get a little bit nervous around you
Tumblr media
Here I am, as promised, enjoy and please make me happy with your comments, I really want to hear from you all!
Prologue Part 1
----
It was already two weeks after the party, Shawn was extremely busy with rehearsals, but still he would spend a big portion of the day either talking or thinking about Sophia, they had only managed to meet the day before, and his heart was still racing. When he got home he wrote an entire song in a single shot, they had have an amazing time, despite everything that went wrong with his plans of a perfect first date. It was not the first song he had written about her, but for sure that one had something on it, lately every single song he could think about was about her, and they were becoming more and more real and vulnerable every day until yesterday he manage to write something in less than 1 hour without even doubting the melody once.
“Dude this is pretty amazing, I think I wouldn’t make any big changes to it, it was all you and its so real, the melody fits right in and it literally make us nervous with you, this is so crazy, wow, I think this is a single opportunity you shouldn’t lose. I know you already send the album list last week, and that you are in a tight schedule, but if you could include this one too, it would be just perfect!”. Scott said making Julia agree, she was a special guest today in the studio, they were supposed to work out the song together, but Shawn somehow managed to make it all by himself. They worked on a few extra details, and changed a few words in the lyrics to blend it better with the melody, and by the end of the day everything was just right. 
“Wow, I love this song. I would dare even asking you to sell me it, for me to record it”. She said laughing.
“Yep, its perfect, while you were developing it I already contacted everyone to hold up the discs because we will have to include some last minute changes”. Andrew added.
“Sorry, I don’t think this one is up for sale!”. He said smiling at his masterpiece.
“I think I can speak for me and for Scott when I say that we are curious, I mean, the song is amazing, but what was the inspiration behind it? Because when we talked yesterday  morning you said you didn’t have anything yet.” She stated and he instantly blushed and looked down, a smile on his face.
“I met someone, and we had this very unpredictable but perfect first date yesterday…” He stopped closing his eyes and dazing off for a second. “But that’s all I am saying for now!”. He completed, wanting to keep their feelings only for themselves for now, at most he would  trust his closest friends, but that was it. 
“Ohhhhh, Shawn Mendes is love everyone!” Scott teased, making his team laugh and the colouring of his cheeks into an even brighter red. “That’s okay, we won’t insist on the details, I guess the song is enough for us to see how important she is to you”. He thanked him silently before stepping into the recording booth to start his session. 
Sophia woke up with a smile on her face, what Shawn was doing to her was not fair at all.  She didn’t have any control over her feelings anymore. All she could think was that they were completely fit to be together, it never felt wrong, and yesterday was just the most non-perfect perfect date someone could expect to have.
They were supposed to meet at 14:00 and travel for 30 minutes to reach the Angeles National Forest, and everything was going according to Shawn’s plan, initially he didn’t tell her where they were going, he only said that it was a place where the paparazzi  would not follow them. He had rented a car, so they would not recognise him, and he even came in a wig which made her laugh so hard when she greeted him by the door. But soon she got into the mood and asked him to wait for a second, when she returned she also had a blue wig and a hat, and they were both matching to go on their journey. She did insist to know where they were going, but he made sure to not say a word. They were having fun and singing along the radio to some Taylor Swift songs playing. Shawn got distracted for a second on how her voice sounded, it was like she really knew what she was doing and caressing each note of the song without trouble. He was about to mention how she should consider recording a song someday, when they heard a pop.
“Oh, Shit!”. Shawn cursed, pulling over and getting out of the car.
“Can you change it?”. She asked, also getting out and getting aware of the current situation, the tire was struck by a truck nail, and it had to be replaced.
“I think so, let be just check for the spare one”. He quickly went to the back to get to the spare tire but there was nothing there, probably because the renting facility forgot to replace it after the last incident. “Fuck!”. He cursed again getting a little bit anxious, how the hell was he supposed to fix that? He was about to ruin the best thing that he had ever had.
“Oh!” Sophia said bitting her lips and frowning once she got where he was and analysed the issue herself. She took a deep breath, and before he could open his eyes and start to apologise she said, “Well, its okay, let's not panic, we have food and water, and we are not in a strange country we don’t know the language, so we will be just fine. Let’s try calling the company and see if they can maybe send us a spare car?”. She calmly said reaching out for his hand sensing that he had gotten anxious and needed some comfort. “Oh, I am sorry”. She apologised realising she might have stepped a boundary that was too soon to cross.
“Don’t…” He said grabbing her hands back and taking a deep breath himself. “Truth being told, I was terrified for a second back there, and I thought you would just start to hate me for giving you the worst first date of your life”. He said, and frowned when she started to laugh.
“Sorry, sorry. I know I shouldn’t laugh.” She said trying to stop and biting her lip before continuing. “Okay, so none of this is your fault, I am sure you didn’t planned it this way, but we cannot have control over everything, that’s totally okay. Plus, we are having so much fun so far, I don’t even know what you're worried about. Just imagine how funny this scene must be for everyone else passing by, two weirdos with blue wigs, back hats and rounded sunglasses stopped in the middle of nowhere because their car got struck by a trucks’ nail. I mean…”. She looked up again at him before they both stopped to burst into laughing. Shawn felt the anxiety dissipating from him and relief coming into his body.
“Okay, okay. So lady Blue, would you like to accompany me back to our non-functioning car while we try calling the car company?”. He asked playfully and extended her his arm.
“Of course sir Rock Star, it would be my great honour.” She accepted his arm with a smile waiting for him to open the door for her before moving over to enter back in the driver’s seat.
“Okay… don’t panic”. Sophia said as soon as he sit down.
“Well, now I am panicking”. He said looking at her while she was looking at her phone with a worried expression. 
“There is no signal here”. She said biting her lip, while he closed his eyes on another deep breath.
“Okay, well…”. He said, defeated. “I guess maybe we could try walking to the closest coffee shop or whatever store we can find some wi-fi?”. He proposed looking back at her.
“Sounds like a plan!”. She suggested that they took a sandwich and a bottle of water each, just in case it took longer than they were planning. Then, they moved on into walking for half an hour, if Shawn was alone he was sure he would have entered panic mode a long time ago, and would have lost some good minutes to calm down and continue, but with her, things were easier, she didn’t seem that worried, she was sure they would find a solution together, after giving him some comfort she changed topics and started to tell him a story of how she managed to catch the wrong bus in Poland last year, and ended up in a small village, where no one would speak English.
“Nooo, what? No!”. He said stopping for a second to look at her. “You are serious?” 
“Yep, believe me, it was one of the scariest moments of my life, because I didn’t know how to come back to my hotel, and the only think I cold pick up from the bus schedule was that the next bus was only the following morning. Plus, my phone ran away of battery.” She said, them both starting to walk again. “I was walking around trying to find a store or something, but there was nothing, it was a very rural area, and it was almost dark when this old nice lady approached me. Miraculously she also spoke English, and she was so kind to me I can’t even! She told me all about her life, and how she ended up in Poland. She was jewish, her mother and father died during the war, so it was just her and her sister. What struck me the most was that, she was not sad, she was hopeful, and grateful even”. Sophia said, her eyes getting glossy and her voice trembling remembering all the story. Shawn stayed silent waiting for her to finish.
“She told me how blessed she felt that she would still have her sister with her after all the horrors they experienced together, and how many families she used to know and grew up with, entirely died, or only one of them survived. She told me she didn’t thing she would still be here if it wasn’t for her little sister giving her the strength she needed to move forward and try to heal their wounds the best way she could. She was one of the most brave and resilient people I met, and I am everyday grateful to have gotten the wrong bus after meeting her. We still talk, she lives in a very far village, a small retreat from the world, but still she manages to email me every now and then”. She said with a smile. Shawn didn’t have any words he could think to describe how he was feeling. The way she told him the story with so much empathy, he knew that there was probably much more detail that she decided to leave out considering also the moment they were having together, but it all just struck his heart too.
“I would really like to meet her too”. He said, before embracing her on a tight hug he felt like both of them needed. They untied himself a little bit early than any of them would have liked, but enough to not leave any of them hanging in an awkward moment.
“Hmm… I think we are close”. She said, moving a step backwards and signing her head to a girl walking with a coffee cup in her hand. 
“Phew! Thanks God”. Shawn exhaled, his shoulders visibly relaxing.
“Were you annoyed by me already?”. She giggled playfully.
“No… not at all, but honestly I would much rather like to be with you having our picnic than looking out for a wifi signal”. He chuckled, grabbing her hand in an involuntary movement and running with her towards the coffee shop making her gasp but smile at his sudden movement. “Madame Blue, I hope you will find our simple café satisfying”. He said, smiling but when he tried to open the door his face changed to a frown. “You’ve got to be kidding me!”. He said, frustrated. But visibly relaxed once she started laughing. 
“Well mister Rock Star I believe we are too late.” She played, not letting the tension fill up her mind.
“Well, well, there is a gas station”. He pointed with satisfaction at the opposite side of the street, she made a motion of starting to walk in that direction but he stopped her. “Nop…”
“ No?”
“Just wait here okay? I promise it will be worth it…”. He said praying that these place would sell flowers, because it was the least he could do after that crazy unplanned day, and also because the café had very nice chairs available in the outside that they could sit and not be bothered.
“Fine, let’s do it your way Mendes”. She replied cheerfully, reassuring him with her eyes. He then moved forward to put his plan in practice, once he got on the other side of the road, he looked back just as if he was checking if she was still there and was satisfied with the image of her exploring the outside area of the café and choosing to sit on a double bench.
“Okay Shawn, let’s try to make this better”. Shawn got inside the store and asked for the wi-fi password, he moved on to calling the renting car company and explaining everything that happened. They apologised profusely, and told him unfortunately all they could do would be to send out a taxi to pick them up for free, as all the other vehicles were booked. Shawn was not happy at the answer, but he accepted it, thinking that they could always sneak to the park close to Sophia and Connor’s house and stay there for the rest of the day. It was not ideal, but it was a new and doable plan. He managed to buy two coffees in the convenience store, some vanilla cookies, and also a chocolate rose which was the closest he could get to roses. He then left and proceeded to get back to her. When he looked at where she was sitting, he noticed how she was looking at him, and suddenly felt nervous again. His heart was racing, hands shaking a bit while he tried to still them to make sure he wouldn’t spill out the coffee. Once he got in front of her it took him some seconds to get out of trance they both were in.
“Okay, ahem…”. He scratched his throat, and took a deep breath trying to slow down his racing heart. He had no idea why he was so nervous, but it was an effect she had on him, even if they were only talking thru the phone or texting, he would always get this mix of being exited and stressed out about saying the wrong thing. Once last week he had mentioned Sophia in one of his talks with Connor, and their friend let it slip that Sophia was worried he was working too hard, and the fact that she was asking about him and worrying about him made his heart beat so loud that he thought Connor would be able to hear it. It was almost like he had never done any of that before, and maybe he hadn’t, because he truly felt like he was falling in love with her and he couldn’t find any other moment in his life to compare to the feeling. He talked with Aaliyah, worried that he was just not doing things the right way, and asking her opinion on his idea for asking Sophia out. She was happy for him, and told him he had no reason to be not even a little self conscious about it, because from what she had heard Sophia was also very much into him. Even though that was supposed to soothe his feelings it made him even more nervous than before.
“Shawn?”. She asked when he seemed to have dozed out while looking at her eyes.
“Yeah…, so… here is the coffee”. He answered hoping she wouldn’t notice his shaky hands. “And, I tried to buy you flowers, but that was all they had, I am sorry.” Shawn apologised giving her the chocolate rose and making her smile.
“Don’t be sorry, this is perfect, I love chocolate”. She accepted the flower from him and sipped on her coffee. “Did you manage to call them?” She asked, worried that he wasn’t, able to, since he appeared even more nervous than before he left, or maybe she was more nervous? At that point she couldn’t tell anymore.
“Yeah, and about that, they said there is no other car available, but they will be sending us a taxi, it should be here in thirty minutes or so. I thought we could maybe go to the park near your apartment…, unless you would rather go home? I mean I would totally understand.” He stuttered, and looked down worried she might say no.
“I think it’s a great plan, we can see the sunset, do you ever tree climb? Because there is tree house there, I think it was meant for kids, but since most people living there are college students, it normally is empty. I go there when I need to be alone.” She proposed, and he felt his nervousness giving in to his excitement.
“Sounds great by me”. 
They kept talking until the taxi arrived, and for Shawn’s sake there were no other surprises until they got to the tree house, he was relieved something had finally worked out.
“This place is truly great, thanks for showing it to me”. He said looking down and seeing a bunch of trees and nothing else.
“It is great to see the stars too, but today is a bit cloudy.” Sophia was right, there was no way they would be able to see the sunset, nor the stars. “Still pretty though, I always imagine that this must be the view the birds have everyday when they are flying. I would like to be a bird I think. You would also be an amazing bird, good music every day”. He smiled suddenly feeling the need to be closer to her.
Before they could say or do anything a loud thunder woke them up from their wonderland. And they both decided maybe it would be better to go. Before they could reach the beginning of the park the rain caught them. Without much thought Shawn intertwined her fingers with his and started running the few blocks towards her apartment. 
“Oh, the summer rains”. She chucked once they got to the main door of the building and the rain was starting to fade away. “You are soaked!”. She stated looking down and realising she also was the same way. As her eyes were back up, she caught him staring at her and she bit her lower lip blushing and making him nervous again. “Come on… you should come in… I don’t want you to be sick”. They rushed inside without saying anything all the way, and meeting a very happy Connor once they got to the door.
“Sophiaaaaa, you are ba… Oh, hi Shawn!”. Connor gave them sorry look, feeling as if he had just interrupted something
“We were caught by the rain, do you think you can lend him some dry clothes?”. Sophia asked”.
“Yeah for sure, come on in Shawn.” Connor quickly guided him to his room, and Sophia made her way into hers to change.
Shawn was silent the entire time, the day playing in his head, and how everything just went wrong but still he managed to feel like everything was just as it should have happened.
“Ahem”. Connor stretched his hands out to him with some dry clothes.
“Oh, yeah. Thank you, Con!”. Shawn refocused, and took the clothes and the towel stepping into Connor’s shower.
He made sure to take a very fast shower, his thoughts going back to the moment of when it started to rain and thinking of how he should have just kissed her anyways, and not giving a fuck to the rain. She was just too perfect for him, he was still wondering if she was in fact real, because sometimes it all just seemed a dream.
“So… dude, I wanna know everything! I also need to tell you that you are not allowed to break her heart, okay?” Connor played with his nerved that were already on edge. Shawn took a few seconds to open his mouth, still thinking of how would it feel to kiss her, and if his heart could even handle it.
“I… I don’t know what to say. I won’t break her heart, I think I would just be breaking my own if I did it. We just fit to right together! Connor I can’t believe you didn’t introduce us before!” Connor laughed, happy for them both.
“I am happy for you Man! You really deserve her and she really deserves someone like you, I wouldn’t pick anyone better.” Shawn felt reassured, but still a part of him wondered if he would be enough. They didn’t think a lot though, because they could hear that Sophia was making something in the kitchen already.
“Just tea, I hope you like tea Shawn?”. She said giving him and Connor a Harry Potter mugs filled with her favorite tea.
“Let me guess, Strawberry with Vanilla seeds?” Connor asked already knowing the answer. “That’s her favorite tea”. Connor mentioned looking to Shawn, making sure he was memorising that piece of information. “I will leave you two lovebirds alone”. He said making both of them flush.
“This tea is very good”. Shawn broke the silence. Leaving the mug on the kitchen table.
“I…”
“I…” 
“You first”. Sophia waited for him to finish his thought.
“Although everything went to trash, I really enjoyed spending the day with you, and I hope… I hope we can do it more often”. He looked into her eyes instantly feeling the need to kiss her again. “Also I… I can’t stop thinking about you.” She stared back at him biting her lips.
“I can’t stop thinking about you either”. She said instantly feeling his lips embracing hers in a kiss.

I was sitting on the porch rolling my eyes as Cory and Shawn were in the backyard, collecting snails. I had tried telling them that it was just a play by Mr. Feeny but as usual, they didn't listen to me. Mr. Feeny was standing behind me looking over at the two boys.
Alan came out into the backyard looking for his son. "Hey, guys. Hmm, collecting snails?" I looked over at the boys, before I continued drawing the flowers.
Cory looked up at his father proudly. "Yeah, Mr. Feeny said we could take 'em off his flowers and use 'em for bait for when we all go fishing Sunday."
Alan looked at our teacher. "Fish don't eat snails."
Mr. Feeny chuckled. "Gee, I guess I was mistaken." I almost fell off the porch, rolling in a fit of laughter. I'm not sure why I found it so funny but to me it was hilarious. Shawn came over and lifted up my sketchbook. Looking down at the flowers he was just sitting in front of and looking back at me, he smiled. I couldn't wait to go fishing with him and Cory. Just a day to be stupid with those two sounded amazing.
"Well, whenever you guys get ready, the bass master here is all set to pass on to the younger generation some of the finer points of spin casting." Alan said to the three of us.
"Manipulating young and impressionable minds. I hope you're proud of yourself, Mr. Feeny." Cory looked up at our teacher with his hands on his hips.
"Indeed I am, Mr. Matthews." Mr. Feeny smiled and turned away from us.
"Come on, guys. Now, the main thing to remember is that basically, it's a simple flick of the wrist." Alan said as we hopped the fence. Well technically, they boys hopped the fence, I was lifted over it. I swear I must've weighed the same as a dust bunny. "You open the bail, hold the line with your finger, and then it's two o' clock, ten o' clock; two o' clock, ten o' clock; two o' clock, ten o' clock..." the hook swung over his head behind.
"Kind of a "quarter after three" thing you got going on there, Dad, huh?"
Mr. Feeny approached the fence. "May a, ah, fellow angler try his luck?"
Alan looked over at the older man, "Be my guest, George." He said, handing the fishing rod to him.
I watched as Mr. Feeny mutters softly before he casts perfectly into a bucket. "It's like getting back on a bicycle. One never forgets." He smiled, content with himself.
Cory looked up at him. "Mr. Feeny, you fish?"
Mr. Feeny nodded. "Oh, sure, I'm an old bass hog from way back. I'll never forget that September morn. 1956. I was after smallmouth bass on the Louisiana delta." I listened so intently. This sounded like such a brilliant story.
Alan didn't seem to think so though. "Sounds fascinating, George." He says sarcastically.
Mr. Feeny didn't seem to catch the disinterest as he went on, much to my pleasure. "Spanish moss hanging down, and the cypress knees jutting up through the brackish water of the bayou..."
Alan tried again. "Sounds fascinating, George." Mr. Feeny stopped and I pouted. I'll have to ask him about it later.
"Dad, how come Eric's not coming with us this year?" Cory asked his father suddenly. I looked over at the curly haired boy.
"Well, your brother's discovered girls. He can't sit still. When you're Eric's age and you can't sit still, I'll take Morgan. It's the endless cycle of fishing." Alan explained.
"Have you tried explaining to Eric that he could take girls fishing with him, Mr. Matthews?" I asked. He smiled at me, I wasn't sure why.
"Not for the activities he wants no. It's the unfortunate part of having children. The boys grow up and can't sit still. The girls...well I don't know yet because Morgan loves ponies, point is after he," he pointed to Cory "loses his mind and obsesses over girls, I'll have Morgan."
"And what about after Morgan?" Cory asked.
Alan shrugged. "Well, then, I'll just be some guy in a fishing hat with a lot of boring stories." He looked over at Mr. Feeny and put his hand over his heart.
"Did you just scare yourself, Dad?" Cory asked.
"Oh, yes, I think I did." He answered sitting down.
I put my head down as I mumbled "I liked the story." To which Shawn carried me over to the bench and handed me my sketchbook. I noticed that he'd continued drawing the flowers. More specifically, he added details to the petals and leaves. He was looking over my shoulder as I continued drawing the grass and tiny bugs.
"Dad, if you're not taking Eric because he's obsessed with girls, why are we taking Shawn?" Cory asked his dad which caused Shawn and I to look over at the two Matthews men. I shrugged and went back to drawing.

That Sunday, I was woken up by a very smiley Jefferson clutching my bag. "Get your butt out of bed!" He shook me slightly.
"You seem too eager to get me out of the house." I said into my pillow.
"Girl, get up before I call your boyfriend and tell him you're not going!" He threatened.
"Blackmail!" I screamed before finally getting up. "And stop calling Shawn my boyfriend!"
"Well your non boyfriend is going to be here for breakfast soon so...Up!" I crawled out of bed and went to brush my teeth. Jefferson had taken up styling my hair when his wife and daughter weren't here. I think he's doing a great job. When he was done he stepped back and looked at me. "There she is! Now...say it loud." He held up his hand in a closed fist.
I repeated the gesture. "Say it proud."
When he crossed his arms over his chest he said "Say it together."
I again copied the gesture. "Wakanda Forever." We say in unison. Then I hustled to get dressed.
I liked that Jefferson was as much of a nerd as I was.
Once I was dressed, I headed downstairs with a smile. The table was being set and just before I could take my seat the bell rang. "I'LL GET IT!" I opened the door and pulled Shawn in. Jefferson rolled his eyes before he placed the plates on the table.
"So, what kind of stuff do you put on your pancakes, Blue Eyes?"
"Maple syrup, please" He replied as he took off his shoes. We ate together. Jokingly shoving his fork towards me and making faces to get me to laugh, Jefferson was fun with us too. It was all fun and games until Jefferson got a work call.
I know that Jefferson travelled for work. That broke me every time. What made matters worse was that Rachelle and Brianna had taken Jazmyne and Tamara on a 'field trip' but I was too young to go and Brianna was adamant that Adam wasn't allowed to watch me 'unsupervised'.
Jefferson made the face and I knew. "I'll ask if I could stay with the Matthews family." I look down at my breakfast. Noticing the fall of my smile, Shawn slid his last pancake onto my plate.
"Thanks, Shawnie." I smiled.
"No problem, Sunshine!" He smiled back and continued eating.
+=+=+=+=+
Shawn was carrying my bag to the Matthews house. I had told him not to but he insisted. We stood at the door waiting for someone to answer, Shawn kept bumping his elbowing me in the back, not for any real reason but just to be playful.
"Hello guys!" Mrs. Matthews said, opening the door to let us in.
"Hi, Mrs. Matthews. Did Jefferson call you?" I asked, removing my shoes. She nodded and watched as Shawn took a seat on the sofa.
"You're free to stay the night." I smiled.
+=+=+=+=+
I was exhausted after my afternoon of fishing. It was fun but sitting in the sun all day can really wipe you out.
Walking into the backyard, I came to a halt when I saw Eric kissing a girl on Mr. Feeny's side of the fence.
Alan stood awkwardly behind his eldest son. "Nice night, huh?"
Eric turned slowly to his father with a grim look on his face. "Yeah."
Alan turned to Shawn and I. "Well, we're just, uh, passin' through."
"Good. Pass." Eric said, trying to get us out of the backyard.
Shawn being the goofball he is, went up and teased Eric. "Eric, the Lipmaster!" He said, elbowing the teenager. I rolled my eyes and followed him towards the house.
"Yeah, sure. Look, anybody else, or are we all done here?" Eric screamed into the air.
Cory then poked his head out of his treehouse. "Everyone have a great day without me?"
I'm pretty sure we were all surprised to see him. "How long have you been up there?" Eric asked, accusingly pointing at his brother.
"Long enough to watch you swap spit with a Feeny." Cory whined as he climbed out of his treehouse.
"Well, I'd say the mood is sufficiently killed, wouldn't you?" Eric turned to the girl.
"Dead and buried." She replied. She looked over at us and I waved at her. I'm not really sure why.
"I think my little sister is busy tomorrow, so, looks like it's just you and me." Eric shrugged, trying to be nonchalant and failing miserably.
"I'll bring the pen. Good night... everyone!" She waved to the rest of us before she walked into Mr. Feeny's house.
"She's related to Feeny?" Alan asked, in shock I presume.
Eric nodded proudly, "Niece" to which his father nodded "Nice" in reply. Why were they so focused on what she looked like as a Feeny? I don't look like my mom or my dad and they were both very good looking people in my opinion.
"Nice? She's beautiful. I mean, that's the most incredible girl I ever kissed." Eric bellowed. I chuckled.
"Which puts her at the top of a list of, what? Two?" I looked up at the oldest son as I said it. He glared at me which told me I got him. But he smiled as he lifted me up and started walking towards the house.
"Look, making out is not a spectator sport." He said to the rest of the boys in the backyard. They all applauded him. Eric turned and continued to the house. He still hadn't put me down.
"Guys, I'm getting kidnapped!" I screamed as Eric took me into the living room. My sleeping bag was already on the floor when he put me down.
"Alright, Birdie. What's the best part about sleepovers at your best friend's house?" Eric asked as he put me down. His hands were on his hips as Morgan came in to play with her tea set.
I shrugged. "Sleeping on the couch?" I answered apprehensively.
"You need to get out more. No, the best part is making forts to sleep in." The teenager answered. He's nuts.
"You want to make a pillow fort for Cory, Shawn and my sleepover?" I looked up at him.
"Yes. Yes I would." Eric nodded quickly, before Morgan came over.
"Can I help?" I smiled at her.
"Sure thing, Weasel." Eric picked her up and ran upstairs for blankets and pillows.

That night, after much negotiating with his parents, Cory was lying beside my little fort. Shawn was on the opposite side of it. I had braided my hair and wrapped the scarf around it, cocooned myself in my sleeping bag and was about to fall asleep when I heard the boys moving.
"Cory. Is she asleep?" Shawn asked. I pretended to be.
"Why don't you check?" The curly haired boy grunted as the TV became white noise.
"Fine." Shawn shifted around before peeking his head between the pillows. I kept a straight face as he looked down on me. I must've been a convincing actress because he turned around and put something next to my head.
He laid back down and I opened my eyes to see an adorable little stuffed bear with a purple bow sitting on top of a piece of paper. I smiled at it before I put my head down.
"You guys are so gross." Cory whined.
"Shut up. No we're not!" Shawn mumbled.
"You're acting like a married couple. Gross." Cory explained.
"She's my best friend, Cory." Shawn's voice came out muffled by his pillow.
"No, no, no! I'm your best friend. Tomorrow you're going to go to my mom and ask her to make Raven's favourite breakfast and call her Sunshine." Cory sounded triumphant.
"She is Sunshine. She's still my best friend though." And it all faded as I finally fell asleep.
+=+=+=+=+
After breakfast, we were sitting on Cory's bed as he and Shawn stared at Cory's new baseball card.
"Cal Ripken, Junior – rookie year. I never thought I'd actually get to hold one of these things." Shawn stared at the card in awe.
"My grandma picked it up at this swap meet for seven bucks." Cory smiled happily. Shawn looked at him like he was crazy.
"Seven bucks in dog years. This baby's worth a hundred and fifty, easy."
Cory looked at him in shock. "It is?"
"Are we just going to ignore the fact that Shawn just did mental math?...Well not really but still." I was looking between both boys. But they ignored me.
"Yeah. Boy, your grandma must really love you." Shawn said. I flopped down on the bed holding my new bear. I named it Morrigan.
"Yeah. Or else she shot a man in Reno just to watch him die." I looked over at him, checking to see if either of them would catch that reference.
"You're kidding, right?" Poor Shawn. He looked so scared.
"I'm not sure." Cory looked down at the card with a little bit of fear too.
"It's Johnny Cash." They both looked at me weirdly.
"But I Shot A Man In Reno Just To Watch Him Die. When I Hear That Whistle Blowin' I Hang My Head And Cry. I Bet There's Rich Folks Eatin' In A Fancy Dining Car. They're Prob'ly Drinkin' Coffee And Smokin' Big Cigars, But I Know I Had It Comin', I Know I Can't Be Free, But Those People Keep A-Movin', And That's What Tortures Me." I sang.
"Cool." Cory said when I finished. He has warped interests.
