The Snap

I stared up at the Shawn Mendes poster hanging on my ceiling. I always stared at it when I couldn't sleep, it's probably something about his smile, like he knows his music affects people in so many different ways. My phone plinged, giving me a fright. I picked it up expecting a Snap from my best friend Annabelle talking about some boy she is busy dating now. My life will never be filled with boys like Annabelle's. In fact, I've never had a boyfriend my whole life. I opened up SnapChat and went to my chat list. It was not a message from Annabelle as I had expected but... I half screamed when I saw the name Shawn Mendes glow brightly on my screen. With shaking fingers I clicked on his name and a message came up. It read:

"Dear Molly, I have been reading your blog articles after a friend of mine (Camilla Cabello) recommended it to me and since then I have been addicted to your writing. I just love the way you express yourself through words. I would like to meet you, are you busy next Friday?" I noticed that tears were streaming down my face, Shawn Mendes has always been my celebrity crush since I first saw a video of him singing on Vine a few years back. I had to responded so I texted back:

"Friday sounds great, when and where would you like to meet? Aren't you worried about paparazzi and things like that?" I took in a deep breath and hit send before I could regret it. His answer came almost instantly,

" Don't worry about the paparazzi I've got that part covered. I'll come pick you up at the local library around 9:30 in the evening on the 9th of May. Bring a warm jumper and I will take care of the rest.

P.S please dont tell anyone about this." I decided that I would try flirting for the first time,

"You don't have a girl for right? winky face emoji" I smiled slightly to myself when I read his reply,

"Not yet but hopefully soon, I haven't seen your face IRL, could u plz send me a selfie without a filter?" I gasped, no filter? I would at least give it a try. I sat up and gave my best real smile without teeth and before I could panic at how cringy I looked I sent it to him. He replied with a selfie of him lying in bed looking amused, I couldn't help myself from looking at his shirtless chest, he had the puppy filter on and I nearly fell into a coma at how cute he looked. I replied with a:

"I think I recognize your face from somewhere... Have I seen you before?"

He replied instantly,

"you know exactly who I am, I find that I am mentioned a lot in your blog as the super hot Shawn Mendes. Am I right?"

I blushed, he had actually read my blog! I answered with a polite:

"I wasn't lying though, I dont think my appearance was the first thing you were drawn to about me." I giggled like a teen age girl when I got his reply,

"The things I like about you before even meeting you I'm person:

1. Ur great writing skills

2. U r super cute

3.Ur sense of humour

4. Ur willing to go on a date with me "

It felt like my face was burning up right now. Lucky thing he couldn't see that. He had called it a date! I decided to say bye because it was 4 in the morning and I needed sleep to.

" I have to go to bed now, have you looked at the clock recently? C ya on Friday hottie (fire emoji)" I waited impatiently for his answer until it came.

" Of course you have to sleep so ur not to tired for our date on Friday even though it is only Wednesday, sleep tight cutie"

It turns out i couldn't get any sleep anyway, the fact that Shawn cared enough to contact me, let alone ask me on a date.

Next chapter coming soon, leave a comment if you liked it, there is a lot if adventure coming soon, this is just the beginning...
